The following comments have been left for this page: If the article were flushed out a bit more, and made less POV (e.g., there's a section on his "1970s masterpieces"), it would probably make it through a GA nomination.

[edit] Why only selected filmography?

It would be easy to put the other films he directed on that list, although it wouldn't be selected filmography anymore...?Mrfixter 22:49, 10 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Go for it, dude! Ellsworth 16:58, 1 Feb 2005 (UTC)

[edit] POV

Just me or does this article have POV/Neutrality problems for example: "He performed masterfully as an actor in films"--68.226.22.197 11:52, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

Agreed. Also, there is no need to refer to his 1970s films as "masterpieces" in the header

First things first, please sign your posts. Regarding the article, though I didn't write it, the usage of the term "masterpiece" varies, so it is not necessarily a NPOV statement. As for the statement "He performed masterfully as an actor in films", I think that it would be better to provide citations for it instead of deleting it entirely (but then again, I think he was a masterful actor, so perhaps I'm just biased). Cassavetes was quite highly regarded as an actor, so I'm sure that it won't be too difficult to find some good citations for this. Kevinloy 00:51, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Cassavetes.jpg

Image:Cassavetes.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 05:51, 2 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Pronunciation

Is it [kasa'vetis] or [kasa'vi:tis]? I've heard both. The first variant seems closer to the original Greek - not that this would matter in a country where Cukor is pronounced "Queuecore".--87.162.27.226 (talk) 14:43, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
