Michael Kidd

[edit]

5x expanded by Coretheapple (talk). Self nominated at 21:48, 16 February 2014 (UTC).

  • The article suggests that the comment in quotes was made in 1997 while thinking back on the event, rather than at the time like the hook suggests? I may be reading it wrong, but it is a minor point. The article is significantly expanded and the hook is referenced, and it is interesting either way. Wouldn't see any other problems. --S.G.(GH) ping! 20:39, 17 February 2014 (UTC)
  • Well, both are correct, actually: it was a comment made in 1997, but it was his recollection of how he reacted when he first was offered the movie. Do you think that's problematic? I think it's a fair use of the quote. Coretheapple (talk) 20:47, 17 February 2014 (UTC)
  • No, it seems fine. --S.G.(GH) ping! 16:05, 18 February 2014 (UTC)
  • By the way, I found a PD photo that I added to the article, but it's shows him dancing with three guys with garbage can lids on their feet. Somehow doesn't seem apropos as a DYK illustration., though I guess it can be cropped. Coretheapple (talk) 16:27, 18 February 2014 (UTC)
