Piero Heliczer

In researching an article about Heliczer I'm seeing numerous claims that he appeared and even starred in Flaming Creatures. Just want to note that here, before I add him, in case there's some reason he's been omitted that I don't know about. Rosekelleher (talk) 15:00, 31 October 2014 (UTC)

Kenneth Jacobs

"Smith had observed the effects of using out-of-date film working on Ken Jacobs' Star Spangled to Death...."

"They seized the films and arrested Mekas, Ken Jacobs, Florence Karpf, and Jerry Sims...."

How does the first quoted sentence lead to the second? 71.233.90.196 (talk) 18:40, 24 July 2016 (UTC)

I'm not sure what your exact question is, but Smith and Jacobs worked together on a few films. Jacobs and his partner Florence were working at the theater when the police shut it down. hinnk (talk) 16:21, 26 July 2016 (UTC)

Rate	Attribute	Review Comment
1. Well-written:
	1a. the prose is clear, concise, and understandable to an appropriately broad audience; spelling and grammar are correct.
	1b. it complies with the Manual of Style guidelines for lead sections, layout, words to watch, fiction, and list incorporation.
2. Verifiable with no original research:
	2a. it contains a list of all references (sources of information), presented in accordance with the layout style guideline.	Where absent, please add the full first names for authors (such as Hoberman, J.) Not done, Hoberman is generally known and credited as just J. Hoberman (likewise for P. Adams Sitney). In general the sources in 'Sources' appear reliable, with one question, namely: What is the Leffingwell/Kismaric/Heiferman source, exactly? They are given as editors - who is the author? Is it a collection of Smith's writings? Or something else? It's a collection of writings by many authors. Cite 15 (All Things Considered) needs improvement. Who was presenting? Who wrote the segment? Is there a transcript or recording available somewhere? Added the reporter's name and a URL. In general, please add author and publisher links to all citations currently missing them, such as Kris Needs or Edward Leffingwell. Done. The American Conservative has no consensus on reliability per WP:RSN. I think in the context it's being used for (sharing Pat Buchanan's opinion) it's ok, but if you can find a more reliable source discussing the impact of the film on Fortas' nomination, that would be preferable. Is Glassfire a reliable source?
	2b. reliable sources are cited inline. All content that could reasonably be challenged, except for plot summaries and that which summarizes cited content elsewhere in the article, must be cited no later than the end of the paragraph (or line if the content is not in prose).
	2c. it contains no original research.
	2d. it contains no copyright violations or plagiarism.	Earwig turns up nothing of concern, but most sources in the article are inaccessible to it, so hold for manual spot check.
3. Broad in its coverage:
	3a. it addresses the main aspects of the topic.
	3b. it stays focused on the topic without going into unnecessary detail (see summary style).
	4. Neutral: it represents viewpoints fairly and without editorial bias, giving due weight to each.
	5. Stable: it does not change significantly from day to day because of an ongoing edit war or content dispute.
6. Illustrated, if possible, by media such as images, video, or audio:
	6a. media are tagged with their copyright statuses, and valid non-free use rationales are provided for non-free content.
	6b. media are relevant to the topic, and have suitable captions.
	7. Overall assessment.

Missing sources

References #26 (Hoberman 2001, p. 33.) and #58 (Sitney 2002, pp. 353, 357) are missing their corresponding long-form bibliographic information in the Sources section. @Hinnk, could you check and correct the sfns or add the source information as appropriate? Thanks, Wham2001 (talk) 20:36, 1 July 2024 (UTC)

Checked both and fixed them. Also updated Sitney's quote (the 1979 and 2002 editions of Visionary Film use slightly different phrasing). hinnk (talk) 21:26, 1 July 2024 (UTC)

Excellent – thanks! Wham2001 (talk) 21:26, 3 July 2024 (UTC)
