Hello @Crisco 1492:, I'll begin reviewing this article over the next few days. It looks promising from a first glance. Jon698 (talk) 03:57, 27 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

GA review (see here for what the criteria are, and here for what they are not)

It is reasonably well written.
a (prose, spelling, and grammar): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):
I did not find any grammatical, spelling, or prose errors within the article. I formatted the works cited section to be divided into book, journal, news, and web.
It is factually accurate and verifiable, as shown by a source spot-check.
a (reference section): b (inline citations to reliable sources): c (OR): d (copyvio and plagiarism):
I checked all of the sources and found that the text accurately reflects what is within them. I added one extra line about him traveling to Jeddah aboard the SS Madioen. I found no plagiarism or copyright violations.
It is broad in its coverage.
a (major aspects): b (focused):
This article covers the plot, production, reception, and legacy of the film in great detail. This is probably 99% of the information you can learn about this subject due to its obscurity in the English-speaking world.
It follows the neutral point of view policy.
Fair representation without bias:
The article is neutral and has no biased material in it.
It is stable.
No edit wars, etc.:
No edit wars and only a few edits within the past few months.
It is illustrated by images and other media, where possible and appropriate.
a (images are tagged and non-free content have non-free use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):
All of the images are either fair use or public domain in the United States.
Overall:
Pass/Fail:
Good job @Crisco 1492: on improving such an obscure piece of media. Here is another article you have improved to GA status.
