[edit] Cimarron
Self Nom: This article has been expanded from barely a stub to an informative article reflecting the background, content, production, and reception of Edna Ferber's novel, the 1931 Best Picture, and 1960 remake. There are few film featured articles, and only one "classic", so I think this would be a fair addition to those that already exist. The article was up for Peer Review almost a month ago, and any issues have been addressed, but I welcome criticism and further contributions. Volatile 01:59, 31 July 2005 (UTC)
- Object - lead too short. In addition, it seems that the article should be on the novel, not the movies. Perhaps just a brief mention of the movies, and move the movie sections to separate article? Flcelloguy | A note? | Desk 18:56, 31 July 2005 (UTC)
- I brought up the concern of having the films and novel in the same section at PR (see link in intro). Since the novel and films are so closely related, I figured they'd be better off in the same article. Of course, I'm open to other opinions regarding that. I will work on expanding the introduction and novel portions, as I admit they are a bit thin. Thank you. Volatile 21:57, 31 July 2005 (UTC)
Object. The images Image:Cimarronbook.jpg, Image:Ferber.jpg, Image:OkLandRush.jpg, Image:Cimarron.JPG, Image:Cimarron1960.jpg have no source or copyright information.--Carnildo 08:57, 1 August 2005 (UTC)- All copyright information has been accounted for. Volatile 03:30, 3 August 2005 (UTC)
- Neutral. More on the novel is needed. The movies can stay, as long as they're faithfully direct in their adaptations of the book. -- user:zanimum
