[edit] Why Is This Rated A GA?
Commendations to the primary author/editor, but this is in no way a GA. How could it be?
a) not a single source is cited ANYwhere in the article.
b) This becomes doubly important when the article strays into blatant POV, most especially the article's ventures into film criticism in its highly idiosyncratic evaluation of Bazlen's films and performances.
There is no serious critical re-evaluation out there of King of Kings (which is on TV as I write), Hunter's performance - or Bazlen's. Ditto How The West Was Won. Both are merely overwrought Hollywood "epics" that do not - emphasize not - bear comparison to the genuinely finer films of the same genres (Western and biblical epic) of the era.
The only-re-evaluation one is likely to find for King of Kings would be among biblical literalists - and you're not going to find any critic seriously regarded enough for encyclopedia citation in that cohort.
I agree that Bazlen demonstrated stunning potential early on, a potential that was never fully realized (and I grew up in Chicago entranced by the Blue Fairy). But such a statement in Wiki should not come from me or the author of this article but rather from the kind of sources that Wiki demands.
That's why I cannot figure the GA status. This needs to be Wikified at the very least before it merits GA. Sensei48 (talk) 10:36, 25 December 2007 (UTC)
- It looks like an anon added the GA class rating, and the article never went through a review at WP:GAN. Since it does not meet the GA criteria, I reassessed it to B. --Nehrams2020 (talk) 01:01, 15 January 2008 (UTC)
