10 Things I Hate About You edit
It looks more than simply a "start" article, after all, me and some other random users have been adding on to it. Looking for review from film project editors on how to potentially decrease the amount of plot spoilers in summary and characters sections, as well as anything else you want to comment on or have problems with about the article. Also needs somebody to review the "criteria met" parameters in the film project banner. chantessy 13:09, 12 July 2008 (UTC)
Comments by Cliff smith edit
- Lead
- Apart from the run-on last sentence, it seems fine to me.
- Premise and Plot summary
- Needs more summarization. It's at least 100 words too long.
- Characters
- Should be Actor as Character: info on character.
- Casting details would be ideal.
- Shakespearean references
- This needs to be referenced; until then, it's basically original research.
- Production
- IMDB is of questionable reliability so it shouldn't be used as a source.
- There shouldn't be any boldface text here.
- It needs some general expansion (e.g. info on the writing of the screenplay).
- Reception
- Every date and basically every number (i.e. box office grosses) needs to be referenced.
- Critical reaction should be expanded.
- Awards and nominations needs to be referenced.
- Soundtrack
- Ought to have at least a sentence about the composer and the date it was released.
- See also
- Since the film is a loose adaptation of Taming of the Shrew, it's already linked multiple times throughout the article, so having a See also section with that link alone is somewhat redundant. If anything, She's the Man, O, and perhaps Clueless should be under See also.
Overall, more references and more info on the film's development and its critical reception are needed. Cliff smith (talk) 20:39, 29 July 2008 (UTC)
Updates to the article edit
- I updated the lead to change that last run-on sentence.
- Completely revamped the plot summary; down to (I think) 699 words.
- Formatted the character section appropriately.
- Linked the box office numbers to the boxofficemojo.com numbers as a reference.
