The Nightmare Before Christmas

A great article with lots of information on The Nightmare Before Christmas and covers all the topics with a great layout and lots of usefull information. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Oogie13oogie (talk • contribs) (Self-nomination)

  • Object: No references whatsoever, unsourced POV/original research (for instance, on how fans feel about hot topic clothes), multiple redundant links ("Tim Burton" and "Jack Skellington", for example, but there are many others). Kafziel 14:20, 21 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • The Hot Topic section is adressing the the contreversy between some of the fans and in no way is POV as it just meerly states how some fans feel on both sides and does not take a stand, just states the facts.
If you don't have a source for it, it's unsourced POV. I'm a fan of the movie, and I'm not goth, and I've never felt any kind of controversy, or anger at people buying shirts at Hot Topic. If you have, that's your POV. Kafziel 14:42, 21 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • The article does not say all fans, it just says some. That is not POV and it is a very valid debate in the Burton and Nightmare Community. This is also echoed in topics on the Tim Burton Collective and Halloweentown.org message boards. Again it does'nt say all original fans or take sides, justs states some facts thatg people who are active in the fan community would be aware of.

  1. In the "Trading card game" section: "Sometime in 2005..." Sometime? Someone is going to need to do a little bit more research and find the correct date. Also, this section makes no sense to anyone not familiar with these games; what is a starter set? What is a tournament kit? Actually, the card section should probably be removed completely; there's not a separate section for every other kind of merchandising they've done.
  2. In "External links" section: "Tim Burton fansite with a great message board fan community". This probably shouldn't be on here at all, but the description is definitely POV. Who says it's great?
    1. Video game sections read like advertisements or Gamepro reviews (which is really the same thing).
  3. Is there a source for the claim that NB4C is "one of the most sucessful franchises ever in terms of selling merchandise"?
  4. Grammar issues, like "the two are in risk of their lives," or "For the past five years, the Disneyland and Tokyo Disneyland in California and Japan..."

This article really should have had a peer review before being put up for FAC. Kafziel 14:42, 21 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
