Opening review Kingsif (talk) 02:43, 1 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Cast list could be put into columns
Accolades could have some prose
Since Release section is two lines, it could be combined with the Reception (to make Release & reception, e.g.)
Copyvio check only brings up quotes - looks fine
Sources look fine
could wikilink archive footage
Synopsis could be clearer. The main idea of what the film contains is in the production section, and I'm still not quite sure.
It's got little coverage for what seems to be a very notable documentary - is there nothing more that can be added?
On hold - worried about lack of coverage and that it doesn't really say what the film is about. Kingsif (talk) 02:50, 1 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Kingsif, All done. The film is a very notable documentary however every interview talks about the same thing including, 1,400 hours of archival footage, Wallace 60 Minutes, etc. ~~ CAPTAIN MEDUSA^talk 13:35, 1 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@CAPTAIN MEDUSA: Having a table inside a collapse box is not common and is pretty unsightly because it doesn't fit well inside the box - I undid that. Re. coverage - is there really nothing more on the production? Re. synopsis - is there an order of how things happen, what is meant by 'troubled personal life'? Remember per MOSPLOT, it doesn't need to be things cited, as the film is a reference for itself. If you've seen it, write what it shows. Now I know there's a few old interviews and something else, but not what that is. Kingsif (talk) 21:52, 1 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Kingsif, It should be clear now. ~~ CAPTAIN MEDUSA^talk 11:10, 2 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Tweaked it a bit (no need to wikilink 'television program'), but it's clear. Following that there is no more production coverage, passes. Kingsif (talk) 15:30, 2 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
