I'm going to take on this article.

Infobox

• Looks good.
  • Thanks!

Lead

• We don't need to mention the fact that the film was directed by Andrew Overtoom TWO TIMES. Also, you need you mention about him previously serving as an animation director on the series ALSO somewhere other than the lead (at least in the Production section).
  •  Done

• The lead states that the film was co-written by Casey Alexander, Zeus Cervas, Steven Banks, and Dani Michaeli, while in other parts said it was WRITTEN (not CO-written) by those people.
  •  Done
• "Were co-written by Casey Alexander, Zeus Cervas, Steven Banks, and Dani Michaeli" should be "WAS WRITTEN by Casey Alexander, Zeus Cervas, Steven Banks, and Dani Michaeli".
  •  Done
• The third paragraph is not really good on it's own. In fact, I would put the sentence in that paragraph to the second paragraph in that lead.
  •  Done

Plot

• Because this is a plot section of a film article, this should be ALL written in a present-tense. There's a few sentences in the section ("SpongeBob (Tom Kenny) and Patrick (Bill Fagerbakke) found a piece of a medallion to the lost city of Atlantis", "They took a picture of it, which causes the bubble to pop.", "He then shows them the real oldest living bubble, but Patrick took a shot of it, and it popped.") appears to be written in a past-tense.
  •  Done

Cast

• Looks fine to me.
  • Thanks!

Production

• The release info here should be put in a separate section.
  •  Done
• Also, I don't think we need go into detail about the season 5 DVD.
  •  Done

Reception

Ratings

• Looks good.
  • Thanks!

Critical response.

• "Despite the hype surrounded by Atlantis SquarePantis and high ratings, it received mixed to positive reviews from critics." This appears that the ratings of the show were very successful, but it wasn't as good with the critical reviews, which were good. That's like saying a movie is very good, despite that it has great action and funny scenes in it.
  •  Done
• The GeeksOfDoom.com review appears to be a self-published blog, a source not good enough for Wikipedia.
  •  Done

Video game

• Looks fine.
  •  Done

References

• As mention before, The Geeks of Doom review is not a good enough source,
  •  Done
• Date on Chicago Tribune review is not consistent.
  •  Done

External links

• TV.com link appears to be dead.
  •  Fixed

Hopefully, these issues will be fixed so I can pass this GA nominee. EditorE (talk) 00:31, 28 May 2013 (UTC)

Thanks EditorE for taking this review. How about now? I sure hope the article is good enough. Thanks! :) Mediran (t • c) 02:10, 28 May 2013 (UTC)

I did find this sentence in the Production section, "Atlantis SquarePantis was written by longtime SpongeBob writers, Casey Alexander, Zeus Cervas, Steven Banks, and Dani Michaeli. Directed by Andrew Overtoom, the film is the first made-for-television film of the series.", that would be better changed to "Atlantis SquarePantis, written by longtime SpongeBob writers, Casey Alexander, Zeus Cervas, Steven Banks, and Dani Michaeli, and directed by Andrew Overtoom, is the first made-for-television film of the Spongebob Sqaurepants series." Overall, this looks like a GA pass to me. EditorE (talk) 20:24, 28 May 2013 (UTC)
