GA review – see WP:WIAGA for criteria

1. Is it reasonably well written?

   A. Prose quality:

   Everything is clear and spelling and grammar is correct.

   B. MoS compliance for lead, layout, words to watch, fiction, and lists:

   The article complies with the manual of style guidelines.

2. Is it factually accurate and verifiable?

   A. References to sources:

   Everything has reliable references.

   B. Citation of reliable sources where necessary:

   Everything has reliable references.

   C. No original research:

   Everything has a reference and no original research was found.

3. Is it broad in its coverage?

   A. Major aspects:

   The article covered / included all the major aspects of the movie.

   B. Focused:

   Everything stays on topic.

4. Is it neutral?

   Fair representation without bias:

   Did not find any bias info.

5. Is it stable?

   No edit wars, etc:

   From what it looks like, within the past week a lot of "undoing" has been going on. Doesn't look like the article is stable any more.

6. Does it contain images to illustrate the topic?

   A. Images are copyright tagged, and non-free images have fair use rationales:

   All images properly tagged.

   B. Images are provided where possible and appropriate, with suitable captions:

   Images are related to the movie and the captions "agree" with the images they support.

7. Overall:

   Pass or Fail:

   As of the time I reviewed this article, there has been a lot of "undoing" info on the article. This means that the article is stable enough for GA status. Although the original nominator is now retired, I will put this article on hold for 7 days to see if the article stabilizes. After 7 days, if the article is stabilized, I will pass it. If the article is still unstable after 7 days, I will fail it.

After 7 days, the article is still not stable.--Dom497 (talk) 12:26, 2 September 2011 (UTC)

Discussion

Not to mention, that this is definitely NOT a good article, as there are inconsistencies with references, the stablity (as mentioned above), the cast section requires more information, should look like this: Iron Man cast section or this Transformers: Dark of the Moon cast section. Until then, I second the your "overall" result. Fanaction2031 (talk) 22:54, 28 August 2011 (UTC)

Comment: (to Dom497) stability is based on whether or not edit wars (content disputes) are prominent in the article, and currently the malicious editing appears to have subsided. (to Fanaction2031): Reference formatting is not a requirement of good articles and reliability is pretty decent, unless you want to point out any references that aren't up to scratch in that area? Also, plenty of film GAs have cast sections that look like this one. 94.8.98.105 (talk) 01:11, 29 August 2011 (UTC)

Comment: I was just pointing out that the cast section SHOULD be reworked for consistency of the following and past films. Also, it would be more relevant and yes neat. Fanaction2031 (talk) 23:25, 29 August 2011 (UTC)

Comment: Um, 2a is not that good - the ammount of fansite refs is unhealthy (I'm working on replacing them), so the sources aren't all reliable! igordebraga ≠ 00:50, 30 August 2011 (UTC)
