Treasure Planet
Good work on addressing the issues so far. For the cast section, I'm sure the way you have it set up is fine. I myself prefer to have it in a separate section to ensure that it can be quickly referenced by readers, a more detailed description can be given for the individual characters, and to allow minor characters/cameos to be mentioned that otherwise wouldn't be mentioned in the plot summary (oh, and I'm also not one of those editors that frown on lists—when it comes to cast lists!). It's entirely up to you how you want to set it up. Good work with the article and hopefully the article continues to improve as you advance to GA. If you need further assistance with the article let me know and I'll be happy to help. Happy editing! --Nehrams2020 (talk) 08:21, 8 November 2008 (UTC)
Hello, I was looking at Treasure Planet, and I was quite impressed with what you've done for it! If you don't mind, I inserted a cleaner version of the film infobox so it is easier to track the different fields. I have a couple of suggestions... I do not think we need the soundtrack cover image (which replicates the poster image anyway) per WP:NFC. Also, I do not think we need to provide the entire track listing. In my experience, it is usually done to help with navigation to specific songs or artists. In this case, there's obviously not much to link to. The remaining content could make up a solid "Music and sound" section (without the need for subsections). Also, I think that "Promotion" could be a stand-alone "Marketing" section, where "Theatrical release" and "Home media" could be combined under the "Release" section since there is not a lot of content. Also, is it possible to make "Differences from the novel" part of "Production"? The writing is relevant to the making of the film, and I think it could be merged. See an example at Fight Club (film)#Writing. For "Critical reaction", I think that it seems a little sparse... is there any chance of expanding on each critic's view? Although you did write a lot of views very concisely! :) Also, the "Plot" section is over 900 words, where MOS:FILM suggests between 400 and 700 words... any chance of being trimmed? Sorry, I guess this is a kind of informal Good Article review... let me know if you have any questions! —Erik (talk • contrib) 19:16, 10 December 2008 (UTC)
The section can be left alone if it is unrealistic to move it right now. When I write film articles, I tend to incorporate differences in a "Writing" subsection (Fight Club was a personal example) since the cogs are turning in the writers' heads as they plan out the story. Sometimes the filmmakers fine-tune the writers' work to move away from the source material. If you can find the right flow in merging the content to "Development", it would be great! No pressure, though. I am not so sure about moving "Differences from the novel" to "Production"... does not quite seem to fit as well as other subsection headings I've seen used. By the way, if you want more feedback, I recommend asking for it at WT:FILM... I think WikiProject Films is a pretty active community, and it is beneficial to network with other editors. Some editors seem to get their Good Article nominations reviewed more quickly when they can directly ask for help rather than playing the waiting game with a pretty big backlog. —Erik (talk • contrib) 22:52, 10 December 2008 (UTC)
Disney character WikiProject
yeah, it probably was what I was referring to. In the big picture, all the character articles need to be cleaned up anyway (whether by project/guidelines/brute force/etc), and that was more of what I was intending to refer to rather than to imply that your proposal was written in stone. Some of the articles are filled with fancruft or story summaries, actor bios, and other crap. Others are better organized and shouldn't have things added "just because so-and-so article has it". Doesn't mean that other article was correct, either. See, people do pay attention! SpikeJones (talk) 22:12, 8 November 2008 (UTC)

Would you like to join the Koei Warriors Games WikiProject? It is everything Dynasty Warriors, Samurai Warriors, and Warriors Orochi! To participate, add your name to the list of participants and apply {{User WPKoeiWarriors}} to your user page.
If you are not sure what a WikiProject is, it is a club of Wikipedians interested in the WikiProject's subject and helping to improve articles of or related to that subject. I saw you greatly contributed to the Samurai Warriors article, so I figured I'd ask if you wanted to participate in Wikipedia:Wikiproject/Koei Warriors Games. You do not have to, and neither are you obliged; I am just asking. -BlueCaper (talk) 23:26, 12 January 2009 (UTC)
