The Muppets' Wizard of Oz

edit

I am nominating this article for A-class becasue it meets all the criteria and I want to get a few more tips before nominating it for featured article status again. Limetolime talk to me • look what I did! 20:36, 1 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - Congrats! It's a strong article, but I have a couple of points (mostly minor) -
  • There's no need to link multiple times in one sentence to the same reference - a single ref at the end is sufficient.
  • The parenthetical information in the infobox should not be italicized
  • Why is retrieving the eye impossible?
Re-written
I should clarify - is the magic eye a actually her phsort of talisman, or is it her pysical eye? Girolamo Savonarola (talk) 20:12, 16 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Her physical eye. Limetolime talk to me • look what I did! 20:18, 16 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • I'd highly recommend deleting the quote box, especially since the content already exists in the article and is superfluous. It may also contravene some general style guidelines, IIRC.
Removed
  • You might want to consider splitting the production section into Development for the pre-shooting material and Production for the shoot and post-production.
Split
Don't see it. Girolamo Savonarola (talk) 20:12, 16 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Vancouver is in North America, last I checked...
:) - Reworded
  • Giacchino's previous awards are appropriate for his bio article, not this one.
Removed
Still in there. Girolamo Savonarola (talk) 20:12, 16 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Is "Calling All Munchkins" in the film? I only wonder because it seems that all of the Oz tracks from the soundtrack appear at the start of the disc, and this track is sandwiched between them.
Yes - It is, but the film version is very short.
Why is it not mentioned at all in the article as a song from the film, then? Girolamo Savonarola (talk) 20:12, 16 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • The soundtrack might be better split to a separate article, especially as it is a compilation album with some tracks not exclusive to this project.
Sorry, I can't do it. There isn't any more reliably-sourced soundtrack information on the net, and a split would slimply be a waste of time. (No offense).
Fine, I'll withdraw that one. Girolamo Savonarola (talk) 20:12, 16 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • The retail price for the film is not exceptional enough to be a notable fact. You might also want to simplify a lot of the data for the various region releases by creating a table.
Table created, but I want to keep the retail info. (If that's okay.)
Don't see the table, but the prices are gone, which is my greater concern. Girolamo Savonarola (talk) 20:12, 16 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Promotional material may warrant its own section - as before, please drop the prices, as Wikipedia is not a store.
This is funny, Bzuk told me to merge it with distribution, go figure. Well, back to a sub-section.
If it's that pared down now, then I'd agree to keep it within Distribution. Girolamo Savonarola (talk) 20:12, 16 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Many of the review websites seem to fail WP:RS.
This has been discussed on the previous FA nominations, actually. It was decided that references for reviews were OK.
  • Technicolor should be capitalized.
Done.
Good luck with further edits! I look forward to seeing the article continue to develop. Girolamo Savonarola (talk) 07:00, 6 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I've fixed most of the requests! Limetolime talk to me • look what I did! 22:19, 9 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

One of the last reviewers had commented that this article is not yet ready for another review, and regretfully, I must concur especially in the area of "Reaction" as it is overlong, two or three opinions will suffice and as I indicated earlier, there may be need to continue to work on this as a project. The use of a number of fansites or blog-type reviewers is an area of debate anong reviewers and is normally not highly regarded as a means of substantiation. FWiW, I would caution that the article itself is comprehensive but perhaps too detailed for what amounts to a singular project and one that is generally considered a failure.
