Transformers: Dark of the Moon

Nominator(s): Fanaction2031 (talk) 08:43, 30 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I am nominating this for featured article because I've worked day and night on trying to improve this article (and so have other users), improved the sections, and did most in accordance to the FA criteria. It is pretty stable, and it's reference formatting is clear and consistent, I also believe that it has a favorable prose, and consists of a "neutral point of view". If you do not support my opinions, feel free to state on what is wrong with the article, and I will do my best to correct it. Cheers! Fanaction2031 (talk) 08:43, 30 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The lead alone has many issues including but not limited to citation, unclear prose and MOS. --Efe (talk) 12:14, 30 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Citations
{{Citation}} and {{Cite}} and the specific templates such as {{Cite news}} and {{Cite book}} generally are not mixed. Try converting those two into more specific citations. --Efe (talk) 12:14, 30 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

What do you mean "specific citations", can you link a Wikipedia article to the parameters? Or can you give any suggestions? Fanaction2031 (talk) 16:37, 30 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Prose'
Try avoiding the n+ing phrasing such as with Peter Cullen and Hugo Weaving returning. A helpful guide is found here: User:Tony1/Noun plus -ing. --Efe (talk) 12:14, 30 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The script was written by Ehren Kruger, who collaborated in the writing of the second film. The film's story is set three years after the events of the last film. I can see three instances of the term "film", two of which are the second sentence. Perhaps you could be more specific. --Efe (talk) 12:14, 30 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

release date of July 1, 2011, to two days earlier, June 29, 2011, I thin the context is there. Two days earlier. --Efe (talk) 12:14, 30 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Can you please elaborate more on this? Fanaction2031 (talk) 16:37, 30 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

in order to receive an early response to footage or in order for the footage to receive an early response? --Efe (talk) 12:14, 30 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
release date of July 1, 2011, to two days earlier, June 29, 2011, in order to receive an early response to footage. The film was then released one day earlier This part is unclear. What really was the intention? --Efe (talk) 12:14, 30 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Done
in unadjusted dollars what is that? --Efe (talk) 12:14, 30 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Done Linked it.
Critical reception was mixed to negative, praising the visuals but criticizing the writing, acting, and length. It reads like it was "Critical reception" who praised the etc etc. --Efe (talk) 12:14, 30 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Please elaborate again? Sorry for the inconvenience. Fanaction2031 (talk) 16:37, 30 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I can see block quotes which have quotation marks. That should be removed per Wikipedia:MOS#Block_quotations. --Efe (talk) 12:14, 30 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose - agree with many of the issues raised by Efe above. In addition, there are problems with captions (those that aren't complete sentences shouldn't end in periods), deficient FURs for the non-free media, overuse of non-free media, use of questionable sources (including but not limited to blogs), and inconsistencies in citation formatting. Nikkimaria (talk) 13:58, 30 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Can you please list the inconsistencies and the unreliable sources? Also, elaborate more on the overuse of the non-free media. Fanaction2031 (talk) 16:37, 30 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I assure you, it is not duplicated from the site. The people who wrote this article and I have written the article, with no duplicates involved. Fanaction2031 (talk) 00:12, 31 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
