Well, given that this was delisted for a small number of citation needed tags, and those have now all been fixed with new citations, I'd just about be willing to pass this immediately. The article provides above-GA-level, near-comprehensive coverage, with over 180 citations. It's a mature article, worked on since 2002, and over the years expanded to over 150,000 bytes.

It would be as well, however, if a few statements were cited:

• 'Cast': Helen Horton.
• 'Writing': sole credit given to O'Bannon.

• In 'The Alien', " as it bursts from the chest of poor Kane (John Hurt). It is unmistakably " --- should this not be "...Hurt), it is..."? It seems to be one sentence if you read it.

• Not clear why the quote box in 'Spaceships and planets' is on the left; it would look more natural on the right, certainly the more usual placement for quotes. That way Cobb is introduced in the text, and then quoted.

That's about it from me. The article is well-written and properly structured so once these small items are fixed it'll be on its way. Chiswick Chap (talk) 16:14, 1 September 2022 (UTC)

Thanks for doing the review :)

I will look for cites later.

As for the 'The Alien' quote I get what you mean, it reads odd but I checked the source (and marked it as dead url) and it is written like that in the source... I'm assuming it's an issue of transcribing a spoken interview maybe?

And I've moved the quote box, it did look out of place on the left.

I've now cited both points! The O'Bannon cite, I can't get the exact page number because I don't have JStor access but it is talked about in there.

Great, that's all fine. The page range is the correct format. Many thanks for the rescue. Chiswick Chap (talk) 10:57, 2 September 2022 (UTC)
