I am nominating this featured article for review because this article fails Featured article criteria 1c, as some sections (EX: The sound era and The Little Rascals television package) are unreferenced. GamerPro64 (talk) 17:51, 2 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Some of the unsourced statements like "comprising shorts (both silent and sound) which have fallen into the public domain." in the section MGM releases are unreferenced.
- Several images, including fair use images like File:Thefirstroundup01.jpg, has no rationale and are not low resolution. Fails WP:NFCC. JJ98 (Talk) 18:39, 2 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Passage from OurGang online - The series, one of the best-known and most successful in cinema history, is noted for showing children behaving in a relatively natural way. While child actors are often groomed to imitate adult acting styles, steal scenes, or deliver "cute" performances, Hal Roach and original director Robert F. McGowan worked to film the unaffected, raw nuances apparent in regular kids. Our Gang also notably put boys, girls, whites, and blacks together in a group as equals, something that "broke new ground," according to film historian Leonard Maltin. Such a thing had never been done before in cinema, but was commonplace after the success of Our Gang.

- Is TVShowsOnDVD a reliable source? Overall, I feel the sources are way too thin; most are the same couple books, and the rest are IMDb (which should definitely be replaced if possible) and Snopes (which is fine).
