Not a correct citation

Regarding the edit made by User:71.114.232.137, the statement on the (since removed) linked site that says "Ronnie is currently working in development on Peter Docter’s original feature film" does not provide enough information about Docter's next project to the point where it can be said that it's even a Pixar production. Until Docter's project is announced or reported by citable 3rd party (not a blog), it cannot be included in WP. SpikeJones 13:43, 26 April 2007 (UTC)Reply

GA Review

edit
This review is transcluded from Talk:Pete Docter/GA1. The edit link for this section can be used to add comments to the review.

Hello, I am Majorly and I'll be reviewing this article.

It's looking good at a glance. Some points to work on:

  • In the lead, it says "key figure and collaborator in Pixar Animation Studios for the past twenty years". This is obviously going to change, so I'd consider reworking that or leaving it out altogether.
  • Per WP:LEAD, it needs expansion, to cover all aspects of the article, and not introduce new facts.
  • "his sister, Kirsten Doctor"... should not be Docter?

Saving for now, but I'll be back later to finish. Majorly talk 18:21, 28 August 2009 (UTC)Reply

  • "Nick and Elie (Nicholas and Elizabeth), ages 12 and 10 as of 2009" Again, this will change, why not leave this unimportant information off? It then goes on... "He can play several music instruments. Elie has a speaking part in Up as Young Ellie." Is the he referring to Nicholas or Pete? It should probably removed either way.
  • Pixar filmography - why not a full filmography?
  • Nitpick - please format the references consistently. The dates, for example, should all be the same.
  • The main image is a blurry out of focus shot. Why not use the other image as the main one?

Once these points are fixed, I'll check it over against the criteria. Majorly talk 00:06, 29 August 2009 (UTC)Reply

Is the article 'on hold' now? The Squicks (talk) 06:09, 2 September 2009 (UTC)Reply
Pretty much. Majorly talk 13:36, 2 September 2009 (UTC)Reply
No response for over a week, I've had no choice but to fail this. Please renominate it when you have fixed these issues. It should have no problem passing. Ping me on my talk page if you do, I'll be happy to review it. Majorly talk 13:15, 9 September 2009 (UTC)Reply

Date conflict.

It says that he first made 'Next Door' and then joined Pixar when he was 21. 'Next Door' is from the 1990, he was 21 on 1989. At the end of the short (found in Youtube) he also thanks 'the kind folks at Pixar'. Am I missing something? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.71.46.191 (talk) 00:01, 18 February 2018 (UTC)Reply

Orphaned references in Pete Docter

edit

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Pete Docter's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.
