Notes

Hi! I have some notes on your draft. First off, the draft is fantastic and I honestly had to double check that there wasn't already an article since this is really well done in general, but especially for a Wikipedia newbie. Definitely impressed! I am going to go ahead and move this live, if you don't mind - there does need to be some tweaks made, but these are going to be predominantly for formatting and so on.

The notes I have are basically to continue looking for sources and to back up the bio claims that lack sources. Also, be careful of the claims - Yahya Abdul-Mateen II isn't going to be replacing Tony Todd. There's no confirmation as to what role he will be playing in the movie, just that he will be in it and that Tony Todd is still going to be the titular Candyman. It's an easy mistake, since there's still some rumors that he'll be a villain involved with Candyman to some degree. I'm genuinely looking forward to the movie - I grew up watching the Candyman films and with Tony Todd as pretty much the next generation's Vincent Price. (Another amazing actor!) As you can guess, I'm a huge horror fan. I'm suspecting that you're one as well, given the username and your choice of director. :)

In any case, it looks like filming has commenced for the 2020 Candyman film - would you be interested in working on the article for this? There actually isn't one currently and there definitely needs to be! There's been a lot of coverage so far and the general rule of thumb with future films is that it's considered to be notable once filming has commenced and if there's a lot of coverage about the movie prior to its release, both of which conditions look to have been met. I can set up a basic outline for you to work on (which I'll make live - you can copy it to your userspace) and flesh out, if you're interested. I think you'd do an excellent job with this!

• (This is Shalor, just under my main account.) It looks like there was a draft so I've moved it live. On a side note, the franchise page is in desperate need of work if you'd rather work on that, as there's not a huge amount to add to the 2020 film page.

  • I just wanted to check in, ReaderofthePack, about the page's status. It looks to me like it's still a draft and not yet live? Chronophoto (talk) 00:13, 27 October 2019 (UTC)
• Shoot! I forgot to move it! I'm so sorry! I got kind of excited over the Candyman movie and got lost in the Wikipedia rabbit hole! ReaderofthePack(formerly Tokyogirl79) (｡◕‿◕｡) 02:51, 28 October 2019 (UTC)

Nia DaCosta

Ready for mainspace! I agree with everything that Shalor (Wiki Ed) wrote - you've done a wonderful job and your draft is definitely ready for mainspace. Chronophoto (talk) 00:11, 27 October 2019 (UTC)

peer review

Hi! I read your draft after it had been edited a bit already. Great article! I agree that it is very well written. I made a few spelling and grammar edits, as well as one or two words added to make a sentence flow well. Overall, I found the content to be neutral, and your sources seem relevant. One note I have going forward is to maybe mention DaCosta's work with Scorsese. You briefly mention that she was inspired by his work and that she met him working on multiple TV sets, if possible give more information. What sets? Did she work with him? Great work!

Article is well-written. Do consider removing the years in brackets, especially when an accurate hyperlink exists.
