As part of Wikipedia:WikiProject Good articles' Project quality task force, I am re-reviewing this article to ensure compliance with current good article criteria. I have determined that it doesn't meet criteria for the reasons outlined below and needs a manageable amount of work if it is to retain its status.
- The lead is pretty decent, but doesn't discuss the film's production at all, a significant omission.
- Considering the number of {{otheruses}} and how it breaks the flow of the article, wouldn't it be best to just make a disambig page and link to that instead?
- The plot is way too long. Lots of unnecessary details are included (ex: "Peter's powers fully return, and he dons his costume and engages Doc Ock in a battle, which starts off at the top of a bell tower and then on top of a subway train. During the battle, Doc Ock manages to destroy the brakes to the train, forcing Spider-Man to rescue the runaway train. Spider-Man manages to stop the train before it can plunge over the end of the track, but at great physical exertion. He nearly falls, but the people in the train save him and see him without his mask on. They agree to keep his identity a secret and try to protect him from Doc Ock, but fail. Weak, he is captured by Doctor Octopus and delivered to Harry Osborn. " could cut out almost everything about the train.
- I think there should be references for all the cast cameos listed at the end of the section.
- File:Spideygivesup.jpg and File:SpiderManNoMore.jpg really don't meet WP:NFCC currently; the comparison is made, but never elaborated on, so it seems excessive to have two non-free images to illustrate a single comics-film connection.
- File:DSCN0293.jpg appears to be free, but lacks essential info such as author, date, and source info. Jgold03 appears to be inactive, but you could try and contact him.
I am putting the article on hold for seven days pending improvements (longer, if significant progress is being made). Please appraise me of progress here or on my talk page. Thanks, Der Wohltemperierte Fuchs (talk) 19:56, 5 October 2009 (UTC)
- As there has been no stated improvements or steps towards addressing the above issues, I am delisting. Remember you can renominate at WP:GAN any time you feel it meets criteria, but I recommend taking a stab at the above issues first. Leave any questions or comments on my talk page, please—I don't watchlist old reviews and won't see any further changes to this archive.
