Checking against GA criteria

GA review (see here for what the criteria are, and here for what they are not)

1. It is reasonably well written.

   a (prose): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):

   Presley's third film, and the final to be filmed in black and white. is ungrammatical.

   They take a taxi towards the high school where Danny attends, also ungrammatical.

   Moved after learning that Danny holds both morning and night jobs to support his family, Mr. Evans forgives him but is unable to intercede with Miss Pearson and Danny drops out of school. Try using commas or rewriting.

   Confusing changes of tense throughout the plot section.

   where Nellie attends the show in sign of reconciliation ungrammatical.

   Directed to her in regret for his past actions

   Please get this copy-edited, it is not "reasonably well written.

   Filming took place between January 20 and March 12, 1958, mostly at Paramount Studios in Los Angeles, California[9] and on location at the French Quarter, while the scene of the bayou was filmed in Lake Pontchartrain So New Orleans / Loisiana needs mentioning here as last time I looked they were not in LA.

   I have added the locations.--GDuwenTell me! 15:32, 7 November 2011 (UTC)

   During filming, Presley was constantly moved to avoid the crowds of fans who came to see him on location, which delayed the film-making. Emotionally moved? Or moved about?

   Wallis had rented a house for Presley's privacy, and a second one after one of his assistants noticed that the back of the houses in the block led to the back of the houses on the adjacent street. Ungrammatical.

   OK, enough, this needs a thorough copy-edit throughout by someone who can write reasonably good plain English.

I'll be working on that.--GDuwenTell me! 02:39, 6 November 2011 (UTC)

User:Clarityfiend has done copy-editing and cleanup in the article, so the prose needs a new check.--GDuwenTell me! 15:32, 7 November 2011 (UTC)

1. It is factually accurate and verifiable.

   a (references): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):

   http://movies.elvispresley.com.au/ is a fan site, not RS

   Replaced.--GDuwenTell me! 17:29, 6 November 2011 (UTC)

   The allrovi cites should have author details.

Authors added.--GDuwenTell me! 17:28, 6 November 2011 (UTC)

1. It is broad in its coverage.

   a (major aspects): b (focused):

   Reasonable coverage

2. It follows the neutral point of view policy.

   Fair representation without bias:

   Were there any negative reviews?

I added all the reviews I could find, (Monthly Film Bulletin, Down Beat and Commonweal seem to be negative.--GDuwenTell me! 17:26, 7 November 2011 (UTC)

1. It is stable.

   No edit wars, etc.:

   Article appears stable

2. It is illustrated by images, where possible and appropriate.

   a (images are tagged and non-free images have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):

   Images are suitably licensed or have non-free use rationales, captioned.

3. Overall:

   Pass/Fail:

   On hold for seven days for the issues above to be addressed. Jezhotwells (talk) 22:43, 3 November 2011 (UTC)

I think the issues have been addressed by now.--GDuwenTell me! 17:28, 7 November 2011 (UTC)

1. OK, this just passes muster, although the prose could be further improved. Next time, before nominating, get articles copy-edited and peer reviewed before coming to GAN. GAN is where we check that the artcile meets the criteria, not where suggestions are made on how to write it. Jezhotwells (talk) 11:55, 8 November 2011 (UTC)
