Hey, I'll take this up, comments should be added soon. Kingsif (talk) 01:43, 16 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Style

[edit]
  • As does the description of Lauren Park.
  • There's actually some odd phrasing in this section, perhaps a bit of a rewrite is needed to make it more natural and less repetitive? If you want pointers, I'm happy to suggest tweaks.
  • Broadcast section is even more short, repetitive declarative sentences. While correct, it's lacking on the 'well-written' front.
  • Describing reviews by saying "X says: long quote" is poor style. The Rotten Tomatoes parts come under this, and though some of the main reviews have longer intros, the quotes could still be better incorporated, notably, the paragraph chunk from Matt Zoller Seitz.
    •  Done. I really tried to incorporate all of the quotes into the context of the general points; the only two comments that stand formatted as "X says: long quote" are both of Seitz's comments. I thought that the first comment was so meticulously written and impossible to break down into chunks, especially since it was only a sentence–albeit a long one; the other one I left as it was to maintain the formatting to make it seem as if the style is deliberate to match the author quoted.

  • More work on the review section in terms of structure.

Thank you very much for these comments, Kingsif! I'll be sure to address them all in the next day or two. Cheers! KyleJoantalk 06:48, 27 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: Hi there, Kingsif! I believe I made all of the changes you suggested, so if you'd like to take a look at it again at your convenience, I'd really appreciate it! I do have a question. You recently modified a sentence in the filming section into Filming in New York was only done to get good exterior shots of some of the city's iconic locations, such as the Brooklyn Bridge and Central Park. I was wondering whether it would acceptable to remove the word good from this statement because I feel as if it holds a connotation that they've tried filming elsewhere and the footage turned out bad. Thanks again for taking the time to give this article your attention! KyleJoantalk 12:38, 28 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • @KyleJoan: generally good, reviews could still use some work; if you want to discuss/work on some phrasings here, ping me! Kingsif (talk) 16:34, 28 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Kingsif: I think I fixed it by replacing one of the quotes and shortening the other. I would love to discuss them if you find either of them inappropriate, though! KyleJoantalk 06:01, 29 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you so much! Have a wonderful weekend, Kingsif! KyleJoantalk 04:54, 2 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
