[edit] GA on hold

• Why is the links to the gadgets and vehicles in the plot section?
  • Y Done Vikrant Phadkay 15:22, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
• The first paragraph of production appears to be original research, as R could have promoted to Q.
  • Y Done Vikrant Phadkay 15:22, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
• The second should be moved into reception.
  • Y Done Vikrant Phadkay 15:44, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
• The second paragraph of filming is uncited.
  • Y Done Vikrant Phadkay 15:44, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
• Themes should be retitled "References to the previous films" and given its own section.
  • Y Done Retitled it but why is there any need of a separate section? Vikrant Phadkay 15:44, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
• The picture of Madonna is unnecessary.
  • Y Done Vikrant Phadkay 15:22, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
• The first two paragraphs of reception should be together.
  • Y Done Vikrant Phadkay 15:22, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

All in all, good job so far. Alientraveller 14:33, 1 October 2007 (UTC)

Quick question that sort of ties in with this. Is this article British English like other Bond articles or US English? - X201 15:01, 1 October 2007 (UTC)

Another minor objection, as the newspapers and review organizations in the reception section are not italicized. Alientraveller 14:54, 4 October 2007 (UTC)

GA passed. Alientraveller 15:38, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Gala Brand

One bit of information that seemed to have been cut during the GA process was the original name of the Miranda Frost character. I've put it back (with a source, of course) as it supports the discussion of Moonraker being a primary source for the film story. 68.146.41.232 (talk) 20:23, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

Source was absent earlier. Vikrant 16:25, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Top Grossing Film

Instead of saying 'Die Another Day was the highest grossing James Bond film until the release of Casino Royale'

Would it make more sense to say 'Die Another Day is the second-highest grossing James Bond film, with the first being Casino Royale'.

(Or something like that.. I just think the current paragraph sounds awkward.) ~~ —Preceding unsigned comment added by 205.211.156.10 (talk) 21:41, 26 February 2008 (UTC)

Well, the current in taking into perspective the fact that, DAD, was the highest grossing Bond film, before CR. Your version doesn't seem to make that point. It just says DAD is second to CR. That doesn't put the movies into some sort of chronological order. _{El Greco}^(talk) 21:45, 26 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Where was the surfing filmed?

In the main text, it says Maui, Hawaii. In the photo caption it says Banzai Pipeline, Oahu, Hawaii. Which is it? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 205.175.225.22 (talk) 15:55, 19 May 2008 (UTC)
