GA Review

[edit]

This review is transcluded from Talk:No Such Thing as Vampires/GA1. The edit link for this section can be used to add comments to the review.

Pretty good. Here are some suggestions for improvement.

  • In the lead, I would put the last two sentences in the beginning of the second paragraph instead, as they are more related to actors and storyline, then writing.
  • The plot could use some wikilinks. Link any character/actor not linked in the lead (Caroline, Ellis) and some terms (flashbacks, eulogy, and anything else that someone might need more info on).
  • It's --> it is (spell out all contractions unless they are in a quote)
  • "This episode established that Mick does not bite anyone; sleeps in a freezer, not a coffin; cannot turn into a bat; daylight's not good, but it does not cause him to burst into flames; and garlic, holy water and crucifixes do not work on him." - there is a lot going on in this sentence, and it might be better split into two separate ones
  • Is upfront a proper noun? I think it should not be cap.
  • Watch the overlinking in the reception section. Angel is linked several times.

Not too much to change. The article will be on hold for a week. Nikki311 21:01, 18 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

All the points have been taken care of, except for the "it's" because it is in a quote. Corn.u.co.pia Disc.us.sion 07:40, 19 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
It is in a quote! :) All these reviews must be making me lose my mind. Great work as always. Pass. Nikki311 02:36, 21 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Bruce Willis

[edit]

Is Bruce Willis being "mentioned" as a possible lead for a movie that was never made a reason to have a picture of Bruce Willis in the article? —Preceding unsigned comment added by UPCDAYZ (talkcontribs) 17:11, 1 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It probably isn't, but that was the only free image that I could find for that section. It's a free image, so there's nothing wrong with having it there. Corn.u.co.pia Disc.us.sion 17:30, 1 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Which ref talks about the film and Bruce Will being a possibility? - Peregrine Fisher (talk) (contribs) 18:56, 4 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
The "unreliable" ref 5. Corn.u.co.pia Disc.us.sion 04:49, 5 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Palm Lines

[edit]

As if there were not any people to say such things as "no such thing;" other people can't seem to resist the impeccable conformity of daily living enough to want to go out and drink blood. In 'The Beach," Leo Dicaprio calls it is drink of choice. This scene is cut out of course yet remains in the movie so as to make the vampire mythos more popular again, leading rolls like this tend to strike at celebrity and their pulp fiction whereabouts. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2605:A000:1301:86E5:0:9A43:F4D4:F16F (talk) 02:12, 1 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
