I've tried to greatly improve this page (yes under different URLs, NOOOOOOO I don't want an account). I have reached the point where my book (published in 1988) ends and would greatly welcome more biographical help for the past 23 years. When I have more free time in about 2 weeks, I plan to use the Rosenbaum article and the sensesofcinema.com article to try to fill in the blanks, especially the Themes and style section. 9-25-2011. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.168.77.27 (talk) 03:36, 26 September 2011 (UTC)

Jacques Rivette is a very important filmmaker, not only for French but for the World's movie goers. I don't agree with the previous classification as "subject with low importance". For me, and for thoses who know cinema and French cinema, Rivette is a huge filmmaker. Elocypher 08, 26 September 2011 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Elocypher (talk • contribs)

GA nomination

I've only glanced at this article, not read it, but I'm astonished that it isn't at least a GA. -- Zanimum (talk) 16:39, 7 February 2016 (UTC)

I have plans to expand the "Themes and Style" section, then break it off into its own article and shorten the section in this article. I'll get to it. Works slow recently so I have more free time.--Deoliveirafan (talk) 21:32, 9 February 2016 (UTC)

Oh, cool! Do you want me to pull down the GAN while you do that? Note, it usually takes quite a few months before a GAN is reviewed. -- Zanimum (talk) 13:03, 12 February 2016 (UTC)

I think it would be better to hold off for now. There's two major English language books on Rivette and the article only includes substantial content from one of them, and I just plan to expand the article(s) further. And on the other hand the main article is itself a bit too long, so the whole project still needs some work.--Deoliveirafan (talk) 20:19, 13 February 2016 (UTC)

Zanimum, if you really think its ready for GA, please keep it there, but I would disagree and don't plan to participate in its nomination process.--Deoliveirafan (talk) 03:12, 25 February 2016 (UTC)

GA Review

This review is transcluded from Talk:Jacques Rivette/GA2. The edit link for this section can be used to add comments to the review.

Reviewer: Ssven2 (talk · contribs) 06:54, 25 January 2018 (UTC)

I will review this article. Thank you.  — Ssven2 ^{Looking at you, kid} 06:54, 25 January 2018 (UTC)

Comments

• Generally, mention the years in which the films were released in all sections of the article (For example, Les Dames du Bois de Boulogne — Les Dames du Bois de Boulogne (1945) and The Rules of the Game — The Rules of the Game (1939)).
• Replace reference no 4 with a better one as it does not mention if Rivette was educated there.
• "and sat next to Godard for several months before the latter introduced himself." — Sounds vague. What does it mean here? Better clarify this.
• "the silent film was shot in the summer of 1958 and sound added the following year" — better to rephrase it as "the silent film was shot in the summer of 1958 and sound was added the following year".

OK, I think I've taken care of all of this unless I overlooked a film or two.--Deoliveirafan (talk) 03:24, 27 January 2018 (UTC)

Further comments

• Wikilink "French Catholic Church" to "Catholic Church in France", and write it as per the latter.
• Wikilink "Minister of Information" to "Minister of Information (France)".
• Wikilink "Minister of Culture" to "Ministry of Culture (France)".
• "with the publicity helping make it Rivette's only hit film." — Rephrase it as "with the publicity helping make it Rivette's only hit film to that point."

Done.--Deoliveirafan (talk) 01:40, 28 January 2018 (UTC)

• "With each film revolving around two female characters, part one was to be a love story, part two a fantasy, part three an adventure and part four a musical comedy." — Would look better if you rephrased this.
• "but was never distributed." — Is this sourced?

Tweaked that sentence a little. Double checked the Wakeman book, yes it is sourced. Also, I don't quite agree with another editors recent changing on the main picture. --Deoliveirafan (talk) 01:33, 30 January 2018 (UTC)

Nothing much with the rest. Nice job on the article. I'll perform a source review tomorrow.  — Ssven2 ^{Looking at you, kid} 11:32, 30 January 2018 (UTC)

Source review

• This link is a redirect to the current awards ceremony. Do find a substitute.

I'll look at the rest tomorrow.  — Ssven2 ^{Looking at you, kid} 09:07, 31 January 2018 (UTC)
