Reviews in The Linguists
[edit]Hi Lemminginstinct,
First of all, thanks a lot for your work adding more sources to The Linguists; you have found tons of sources and reviews that I never noticed before.
That being said... in your recent edits you have added a lot of quotes from reviews, and I'm wondering if you think it might be possible to excise some of the direct quoting and do a bit more summarizing/digesting? Especially in cases where multiple reviews say more or less the same praise or criticism, then rather than something like the film has been called "excellent",[1] "interesting",[2] "fun", [3] and "engaging",[4] we could just say something more like several critics praised the film's engaging/interesting content and presentation[5][6][7] or something like that.
Anyway, please don't think I'm criticizing your work or asking you to undo your edits—you have clearly improved the article a lot. I'm just thinking that with a little more work and trimming we could improve it even more. Thanks, rʨanaɢ talk/contribs 18:51, 14 July 2009 (UTC)
