Picking this up for review. Will have my assessment ready tomorrow. Rusted AutoParts 02:08, 29 August 2020 (UTC)

@Some Dude From North Carolina: Tackle the points below and I'll be back to check progress within the week. Rusted AutoParts 21:10, 29 August 2020 (UTC)

@Rusted AutoParts: As of August 29, I have finished all the requested improvements except the archiving references request, which I am currently working on. Some Dude From North Carolina^{wanna talk?} 23:47, 29 August 2020 (UTC)

• As a primary contributor to this article, I'm going to say what I said at my talk page: I don't think the article is ready for GA yet. There's still a lot of production information that's missing, there may be some unreliable sources cited, the post-release needs to be fleshed out, and some sections probably need some rewriting.

  • I've looked more at the article, and I think it actually needs a lot of work before it's GA-ready. IMO this nomination should be pulled. JOEBRO64 00:24, 30 August 2020 (UTC)

It's a bit late now to pull it, please feel free to make the edits you think need to be made. Rusted AutoParts 01:07, 30 August 2020 (UTC)

@Rusted AutoParts: I have finished all the requested improvements. Some Dude From North Carolina^{wanna talk?} 00:31, 30 August 2020 (UTC)

I'm a bit stuck on how to proceed. @TheJoebro64: would you be willing to outline the issues you feel still need to be addressed? Rusted AutoParts 19:06, 1 September 2020 (UTC)

Rusted AutoParts, it's basically all the refideas I'd added on the talk page. I'm extremely busy right now (my time to edit should open back up soon though), and looking over the article again I think it's probably fine for GA (I was probably a bit harsh above, it's just that if I had nominated it I probably would've done a lot more work). I had plans to eventually bring this to FAC so I can add the refideas once I have time. JOEBRO64 20:11, 1 September 2020 (UTC)

Lead/Infobox

• No issues for Lead paragraph.
• Remove names after Frances Conroy in infobox's cast list. Those names are not included in the official billing block (Click credits at the bottom of the page if the link doesn't auto-show the block).

Plot

• Plot meets WP:FILMPLOT requirements.

Cast

• "Although Batman himself does not appear in Joker, it ends with the murder of Thomas and Martha, which in the comics inspires Bruce to take on the Batman persona.[34]" Not sure if this is needed information.

Production

• "Marc Maron, who had recently finished filming the third season of the web television series GLOW". His filming of GLOW should be deleted. It would've been of note if it affected his scheduling for the film, but it didn't.
• "Phillips confirmed he was in the process of editing Joker in March 2019.[88] At CinemaCon the following month, he stated the film was "still taking shape" and was difficult to discuss, as he hoped to maintain secrecy.[89] Phillips also stated that most reports surrounding the film were inaccurate, which he felt was because it is "an origin story about a character that doesn't have a definitive origin."[90]" There’s a bit of an overuse of "stated" here. For the third sentence about most reports put it to something like "Phillips also denied most reports surrounding the film"

Release

• Home media subsection would make more sense here than under Post-release.

Reception

• Looks good

Post-release

• Themes and analysis typically would have it's own section.
• With Home media and Theme and analysis being moved, Cultural impact becomes it's owns section.

Future

• Looks good

References

• Looks thoroughly archived, see if any other sources need archiving.
