I am concerned that this article no longer meets the good article criteria. Some of my concerns are listed below:
There is a lot of uncited text throughout the article
At over 12,000 words, WP:TOOBIG says that it could possibly be trimmed. I think some information can be moved to other articles, and the information summarised here.
There are several unreliable sources used as inline citations, such as WP:WHATCULTURE and cracked.com
The first two points are entirely because of the forced integration of the Alternative versions of the Joker article, which is also entirely unsourced. Remove that section and there's no problem. The other references were perfectly fine when it went through GA and are hardly a reason to take it to GAR. Darkwarriorblake (talk) 21:43, 14 September 2024 (UTC)Reply
