Doing... - reviewing this, might take a few days as it's a long article. The Interior (Talk) 03:32, 9 February 2015 (UTC)
- Thanks. Yea, it is. I think some of the Production section is somewhat repetitive and can be cut down. On the other hand, the 3D subject is what got me so excited about this article and I think its the most interesting part.--Deoliveirafan (talk) 03:47, 11 February 2015 (UTC)
- I've never been that enthralled by 3D, but now that Godard and Herzog are on board maybe I should reconsider. The Interior (Talk) 20:13, 12 February 2015 (UTC)
Excellent article, pretty close to GA quality at this point. The expansion and date check out, and the hook fact is cited online: [1]. Length is not an issue. I prefer original hook - it reads more clearly. Four refs spot-checked for close paraphrasing, nothing found outside of quotes. A few quibbles, but nothing to stop this from DYK:
- when a quote starts with a capital, and the quote is used mid-sentence, the capital should be dropped to lower case per MOS:QUOTE (there's a few of these).
In the plot summary, the character "Davidson" is mentioned several times, but never introduced, so we don't really know who he is, or what his context is in the film.- And last, in the sentence, "Godard later used some of these tests in the short film Les trois désastres in 3X3D" it's not clear what "3X3D" refers to.
- Otherwise, great work, and I'll be watching to see if this gets played at any of my local theatres. The Interior (Talk) 20:13, 12 February 2015 (UTC)
- Great, thank you very much. Davidson is now identified as a professor. I will work on the other issues. Very happy to hear that the article sparked your interest in seeing the film.--Deoliveirafan (talk) 20:19, 12 February 2015 (UTC)
