The Joy Luck Club (film)

[edit]

5x expanded by George Ho (talk). Self nominated at 07:00, 20 May 2013 (UTC).

  • Crediting Bede735 for expanding awards and nominations, although I added reliable references. --George Ho (talk) 08:43, 20 May 2013 (UTC)

More hooks below: --George Ho (talk) 06:28, 22 May 2013 (UTC)

Oliver Stone, one of executive producers of The Joy Luck Club

Wayne Wang, the director and one of producers of The Joy Luck Club

The x5 expansion and size seem ok; the article seems reasonably accurate and compliant with policy; and the copyvio detector doesn't light up. Choosing the hook is the only remaining issue. The alt hooks about Stone/Wang don't quite work for me because they are too much about other movies, not this one. The first hook about the treatment of male characters is promising but it seems to need more support in the article. To use this hook, please develop this aspect a bit more, perhaps using a source such as Banana Bending: "This criticism was raised recently, and often repeated, about the film version of The Joy Luck Club..." Warden (talk) 10:44, 9 June 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for the suggestion. However, many of the sources are about the criticism of the book, and I could not find a single valuable information about male characters in the film. --George Ho (talk) 15:38, 11 June 2013 (UTC)
  • I prefer Hook0 by far, as it is the most "interesting" and has the lowest link density. -- Ohc ¡digame!¿que pasa? 17:16, 27 June 2013 (UTC)
I'm unenthralled by the original hook, too, as it's more about the book than the movie. Here's another idea:
  • Unsigned reviews are not acceptable; further, hook review gives no signs of having checked for proper source citations placed per DYK rules, much as I would expect them to have been checked by Orlady ahead of time. Full review of hook needed. BlueMoonset (talk) 04:03, 30 June 2013 (UTC)
Further to BlueMoonset's comment, I don't pretend to have done a full review. (Colonel Warden did a partial review earlier, and he signed it.) I did check the sourcing for the hook I suggested, but I'm not eligible to review it because it's a whole new hook that I suggested. --Orlady (talk) 14:38, 30 June 2013 (UTC)
ALT4 does seem quite engaging and is well-supported by a source so let's go with that. Warden (talk) 16:32, 30 June 2013 (UTC)
