The Shining (film)

• Featured article candidates/The Shining (film)/archive1

I am nominating this for featured article because this article is well written and provides many sources to support its content. It's a good length, not entirely wordy but just the right amount of information without any redundancy. Tinton5 (talk) 02:40, 15 November 2009 (UTC)

Oppose

With a quick glance, a few things that jump out:

• "Alternate cuts" and "Production" sections are unsourced.
• Spacing issues with citations throughout the article.
• Prose needs some work (ex. "The film had a slow start at the box office, but gained momentum and steam...")
• The references need to be consistent and include more parameters (see other recent film FAs). In addition, there are several unreliable sources such as blogs and IMDB.

These points alone need to be addressed first before looking at other issues. It looks like this should have went through peer review first, and it may be best to remove the nomination. --Happy editing! Nehrams2020 (talk • contrib) 01:23, 20 November 2009 (UTC)

• Archiving, this was never listed at WP:FAC, and should go to peer review. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 02:17, 2 December 2009 (UTC)
