GA review – see WP:WIAGA for criteria

---

This article is in decent shape, but it needs more work before it becomes a Good Article.

1. Is it well written?

   A. The prose is clear and concise, and the spelling and grammar are correct:

   In the Plot, "...so that he won't forget what they look like" ---> "...so that he will not forget what they look like", per here. In the Production section, "...co-production between Hong Kong companies Media Asia and , French distributor ARP Sélection", no comma needed after "and". Same section, this sentence ---> "Vengeance may also be seen a reunion for its Hong Kong cast and crew" reads odd; are you missing "as" between "seen" and "a"? In the Filming section, this sentence ---> "When asked why he chose have no one else know about the story" reads very odd.

   Check.

   B. It complies with the manual of style guidelines for lead sections, layout, words to watch, fiction, and list incorporation:

2. Is it verifiable with no original research, as shown by a source spot-check?

   A. It contains a list of all references (sources of information), presented in accordance with the layout style guideline:

   References 12, 27, and 29 are missing Publisher info. The link titles in Refs. 3, 5, 7, 10, 11, 27, and 29 are not suppose to be in all capitals, per here. Ref. 16 has a different url link path, so you might want to update that.

   Check.

   B. Reliable sources are cited inline. All content that could reasonably be challenged, except for plot summaries and that which summarizes cited content elsewhere in the article, must be cited no later than the end of the paragraph (or line if the content is not in prose):

   C. It contains no original research:

   Are "Twitch.com", "Love HK Film", "hktopten.blogspot.com", "yesasia", and "Affenheimtheater" reliable sources?

   D. It contains no copyright violations nor plagiarism:

3. Is it broad in its coverage?

   A. It addresses the main aspects of the topic:

   B. It stays focused on the topic without going into unnecessary detail (see summary style):

4. Is it neutral?

   It represents viewpoints fairly and without editorial bias, giving due weight to each:

5. Is it stable?

   It does not change significantly from day to day because of an ongoing edit war or content dispute:

6. Is it illustrated, if possible, by images?

   A. Images are tagged with their copyright status, and valid non-free use rationales are provided for non-free content:

   B. Images are relevant to the topic, and have suitable captions:

   Since you have alt text in the movie poster, you might as well have alt text for the Johnnie To image.

7. Overall:

   Pass or Fail:

   If the statements above can be answered, I will pass the article. Good luck with improving this article!

So I fixed as much as I could but those references do not seem very reliable. I think the hktopten.blogspot.com is a translation of Chinese articles and I can't find the original. --Peppage^tlk 18:06, 9 August 2010 (UTC)

If they're not reliable, they can't be used in the article. --  ThinkBlue  (Hit BLUE) 19:39, 9 August 2010 (UTC)

I know :) I didn't write this article though, I just wanted to help it get GA. Unfortunately I can't find replacement sources. --Peppage^tlk 21:09, 9 August 2010 (UTC)

I think that Twitch is reliable, here is its Wikipedia article (Twitch Film), YesAsia is reliable but it is an online retailer. Don't know about LoveHKFilms but here is its about page [1] looks like it was created by a fan. I don't know about the other two I didn't see their sites in the references. ♪♫Alucard 16♫♪ 14:03, 10 August 2010 (UTC)

The sources question have been dealt with and after a read-through I believe the article meets the GA criteria, so thank you to all who worked hard to bring it to this status, and congratulations. If you feel that this review is in error, feel free to take it to a GA review. --  ThinkBlue  (Hit BLUE) 21:10, 20 August 2010 (UTC)
