GA Reassessment

Article (edit | visual edit | history) · Article talk (edit | history) · Watch
As part of Wikipedia:WikiProject Good articles' Project quality task force, all old good articles are being re-reviewed to ensure that they meet current good article criteria (as detailed at WP:WIAGA.) I have determined that this one, while good, needs some additional work to remain a good article, outlined below:

• The lead is pretty close to complete, but does not really discuss much about the film's production (thus not adequately summarizing the article). (WP:LEAD)
• A huge issue is that there are many, many quasi-paragraphs that aren't true paragraphs (by definition, needs to have at least three sentences). All these groupings need to be folded together, cut entirely, or expanded.
• The plot needs to be cut down; right now it rambles and is overly detailed.
• Unsourced statements:
  • "The production designs reflects traditional aspects of Thai culture. For example, the first gun battle between Mahesuan and Dum is set on what is obviously a sound stage with a painted backdrop, a setting that is similar to likay, a Thai form of folk opera."
  • "There are experienced actors in the cast as well, including Sombat Metanee and Naiyana Sheewanun, who worked in the era of Thai filmmaking that Wisit was trying to recreate."
  • "There is also "Mercy," composed by 1940s Thai bandleader and jazz violinist Eua Sunthornsanan, which features whimsical fiddle playing and whistling. However, the lyrics to the song, written by Leud Prasomsap, offer a contrast to the mood evoked by the jaunty tune:"
• File:Tears5.jpg and File:Fahtalaijonesoundtrackcover.jpg: what makes these non-free images meet WP:NFCC?

I am putting the article on hold for one week pending improvements. Please appraise me of progress on this space. Der Wohltemperierte Fuchs^(talk) 23:24, 9 December 2009 (UTC)

As no progress has gone into addressing the above, I am boldy delisting now. The article can be renominated at any time through WP:GAN. If you have questions, direct them to my talk page. Thanks, Der Wohltemperierte Fuchs^(talk) 14:30, 16 December 2009 (UTC)
