Critical Response

edit

An editor, with no explanation, removed the Critical Response section which consisted of cited quotes from contemporary critical reactions to the film. it also contained the only references cited to date. I am going to restore the section. Please discuss the matter before removing it again. DES (talk) 02:32, 9 January 2010 (UTC)Reply

Note that according to the film style guideline a "critical Response" section is normal. It says Reliable sources should be used to determine how the film was received. For films, sources that are regarded as reliable are professional film critics, though notable persons or experts connected to the topics covered by the film may also be cited. The use of print reviews is encouraged. It is hard for me to see how reviews from the NY Times and FOX news fail to fulfill this guideline. DES (talk) 02:41, 9 January 2010 (UTC)Reply

  • Please also note that the reviews listed are not unfavorable. Nothing bad is said about the documentary -- one of the reviews evens says the documentary is "mesmerizing" -- it's just that they don't like the subject. -- ArglebargleIV (talk) 20:14, 9 January 2010 (UTC)Reply
  • The NY Times story "BOLDFACE NAMES" which was added and removed includes comments by soem of those filmed, and a mention that the film was made, but no reaction to the film per se. Not properly part of the Criticval Response section IMO. DES (talk) 05:35, 10 January 2010 (UTC)Reply
  • The www.buzzine.com piece which was added and removed appears to be comments from the directory of the film. It might possibly go in a section on the creator's intentions, but not in critical response. DES (talk) 05:35, 10 January 2010 (UTC)Reply

Article title

edit

Perhaps the proper name for this should be It Girls (documentary) ? I almost moved it myself, but thought better of it. -- ArglebargleIV (talk)

I was just about to suggest the same. I'll move it. More in line with standard naming conventions. DES (talk) 04:14, 9 January 2010 (UTC)Reply
