Initial comments

[edit]

Since this article is excellent on first pass, you get mostly stream-of-consciousness thoughts instead:

An actual action point:

Overall this seems comprehensive and terrifically written; you do a particularly good job of explaining the importance of the film's legacy to American animation. This seems ready for FAC, much less GA.

Great--once that image (below) is tagged for US this is good to go. It'd be great to have this on the front page for the anniversary! -- Khazar2 (talk) 21:35, 28 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Done image tagging. I also cleaned up the formatting a bit. Curly Turkey (gobble) 21:56, 28 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Checklist

[edit]
Rate Attribute Review Comment
1. Well-written:
1a. the prose is clear, concise, and understandable to an appropriately broad audience; spelling and grammar are correct. Minor spelling check above. Spotchecks show no evidence of copyright issues.
1b. it complies with the Manual of Style guidelines for lead sections, layout, words to watch, fiction, and list incorporation.
2. Verifiable with no original research:
2a. it contains a list of all references (sources of information), presented in accordance with the layout style guideline.
2b. reliable sources are cited inline. All content that could reasonably be challenged, except for plot summaries and that which summarizes cited content elsewhere in the article, must be cited no later than the end of the paragraph (or line if the content is not in prose).
2c. it contains no original research.
3. Broad in its coverage:
3a. it addresses the main aspects of the topic.
3b. it stays focused on the topic without going into unnecessary detail (see summary style).
4. Neutral: it represents viewpoints fairly and without editorial bias, giving due weight to each.
5. Stable: it does not change significantly from day to day because of an ongoing edit war or content dispute.
6. Illustrated, if possible, by media such as images, video, or audio:
6a. media are tagged with their copyright statuses, and valid non-free use rationales are provided for non-free content. File:Gertie.jpg needs a US PD tag. All others appear fine.
6b. media are relevant to the topic, and have suitable captions.
7. Overall assessment.
