Wikipedia:Peer review/Corey Haim/archive1
I nominated this article for peer review because I know that whilst it is somewhat comprehensive and informative, it could be greatly imporoved with some help. It was created in 2003 I think and since then alot of individuals have contributed to it. I started on it about a month or two ago. Any comments, edits or suggestions would be very appreciated!

- Hey, I majorly tweaked the article, I hope you like it. We don't really need a huge full fimography if we're linking to the IMDB (since full filmographies are the only thing the IMDB is good for anyway) and since we mention most of his credits in the entry. So I tightened the filmography to include only his big theatrical releases, I think it's best reflective of his career and his period of popularity. Not sure if we should have a section for grosses there too, maybe. 24.226.10.98 07:59, 26 December 2005 (UTC)
- Yep, I just saw all the work you did. It looks great. I noticed you removed the quotes about films, not Haim himself. I know that it is not directly about Haim, but I think it kind of represents what height his career was at during that period, with comments like those. Anyway, thanks for taking the time to check it out. Anything more we can do to improve it? (Smerk 08:06, 26 December 2005 (UTC))
- Well, we could have stuff like "the film was well-reviewed" and link to some positive review, instead of having a full sentence or two about the film. In fact, I think this is already done a couple of times, i.e. the Lost Boys (I think I used "well received") to describe it. As for the article as a whole, there's nothing inherently wrong with it. I suppose like most articles it could use a little tightening up, but certainly pretty good overall. Vulturell 08:11, 26 December 2005 (UTC)
- Oh yeah, and I bet you didn't know Prayer of the Rollerboys played in theatres. The gross doesn't show up on the IMDB, but if you subscribe to the free trial over at www.variety.com you can look the box office info for it up. It was a pretty short run in August of 1991, made something like $78,000 dollars and it, not 1989's Dream, was his last theatrical film. Vulturell 08:14, 26 December 2005 (UTC)
- Yep I guess its not totally needed. There is still one by Ebert at the top, but its more about Haim and his potential, so maybe that is more appropriate? And thank-you for the info regarding Rollerboys I searched eeverywhere for comfirmation regarding its release.

- Oh yeah, the Ebert one is good, it's about Haim. BTW, if you have a lot of quotes by Haim himself, you may wanna take a look at Wiqiquote (i.e. http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Charlize_Theron), which is a good place to store them. Check out Charlize Theron's Wiki entry (at the bottom) for where the Wiqiquote sign is usually placed. Vulturell 08:26, 26 December 2005 (UTC)
- Great! There could be a good addition to the CH page. I'l get on to that later tonight. (Smerk 08:29, 26 December 2005 (UTC))

- There are too many short - or sentence long paragraphs. All the fair use images need fair use rationales, most of the images will need to be removed as there are far too many to actually be considered fair use.--nixie 10:18, 27 December 2005 (UTC)
- Merged majority of the short paragraphs so it's less scrappy. Removed three images and added two fair use rationales. Cheers for the advice Smerk 14:01, 27 December 2005 (UTC)
