I will go ahead and review this article, which I had never edited until yesterday when I made three minor edits involving the placement of images and the text in the captions. I have noticed that the nominator MagicatthemovieS has never edited this page and does not appear to have conferred with any editors who have prior to nominating it, which is an inconvenience because it means it is unlikely that he can be relied on to implement changes or adjustments. As such, I will try to implement minor adjustments myself, since I wrote a lengthy essay about Samson a year ago and I think I know enough about him to make those adjustments if necessary. Nonetheless, I will try to leave off any major changes to other editors who have been active at this page. --Katolophyromai (talk) 22:02, 21 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I have ended up making a lot more contributions to the article than I ever anticipated; I greatly expanded the lead, as well as the "Interpretations," and the "Cultural influence" sections. I also switched out a large portion of the images, cleaned up bare urls, and added a lot more citations. I do not think I would have passed the article in the state it was in before I modified it, but now I think I am comfortable doing so. --Katolophyromai (talk) 18:51, 28 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
