Improved to Good Article status by Captain Assassin! (talk). Self-nominated at 15:57, 21 May 2015 (UTC).

  • Promoted to GA on 21 May so new enough, long enough at 35,026 characters, neutral, hook and article is well sourced as part of GA process, hook is interesting and QPQ done. Good to go.Blethering Scot 16:40, 21 May 2015 (UTC)
  • Can we try for something hookier?
  • ALT1: ... that the script for Birdman (2014), winner of four Academy Awards, was mainly written through Skype calls and emails? Yoninah (talk) 09:04, 28 May 2015 (UTC)
  • Not sure about this to be honest. Its a very interesting hook but for me its an interpretation of the source I'm not too sure of. The source says they mostly met over Skype and email. Not sure how much writing went on during these sessions, its a loose interpretation. The source also contradicts another statement in article. It says so the could shoot in the St. James for a month, however the article says they shot in it for just two weeks.Blethering Scot 18:32, 28 May 2015 (UTC)
  • Hmm. I'm surprised this passed GA. Yoninah (talk) 20:33, 28 May 2015 (UTC)
  • Yeah, reviewer just came by and passed the GAN on his first comment. I though he would be asking me address some issues, but....surprised me too. --Captain Assassin! «T ♦ C ♦ G» 11:47, 29 May 2015 (UTC)
  • If the material doesn't align with the sources, then it needs to be delisted. Yoninah (talk) 15:16, 29 May 2015 (UTC)
  • The article is clearly well written and on that front I can't find much fault at all. The sentence needs changed as we can't say they did most of the writing by that method, only that they met or collaborated over Skype. As for the theatre this source says two weeks and this one says a month. Issue is differing sources. I may well have found the only two issues in the article. Very hard to tell.Blethering Scot 16:21, 29 May 2015 (UTC)
  • @Yoninah: whats your thoughts. Do u think a GA Review should be requested & DYK put on hold pending this.Blethering Scot 23:34, 29 May 2015 (UTC)
  • Nah, I think even with the skype calls the DYK line is pretty boring. The most surprising fact I found while writing the production section was that the original ending was changed halfway through filming, so I thought:
  • ALT2: ... that the ending to Birdman (2014), was written halfway through filming after it came to the director in a dream?
  • As for whether the article's GA class, I think it's still fairly incomplete. In around a month I'll have time to finish off the production section and work on a themes section, but as it currently stands I don't consider it GA. The standards for GA class may have slipped elsewhere, but let's keep them strong in media and drama. Neuroxic (talk) 04:00, 30 May 2015 (UTC)
  • The Skype was very interesting but its disingenuous. As for the ALT hook as two editors have raised concern about the standard of the GA review this has to declined until it is re reviewed. Going to request that to happen.Blethering Scot 11:52, 30 May 2015 (UTC)
  • Article is currently undergoing a Good Article Reassessment. Nomination on hold until the reassessment has concluded. If it remains listed, then the review can continue; if it is delisted, the nomination will be closed. BlueMoonset (talk) 04:18, 19 June 2015 (UTC)
