Ruud van Hemert

edit
  • ... that in Dutch director Ruud van Hemert's Schatjes (1984), one of the most successful Dutch movies ever, parents and their children engage in guerrilla warfare?

5x expanded by Drmies (talk), Lugnuts (talk). Nominated by Drmies (talk) at 03:59, 14 October 2013 (UTC).

  • Article - expansion started on 22 August, the day before original nomination; was 110 characters, now 2481 characters of readable prose, so long enough; neutral; at least one inline citation to every paragraph; no copy vios detected using earwig - I didn't run dup detector as the Dutch sites confused it; assessed as start class; now deceased but no BLP issues.
  • Hook - within length criteria at 159 characters; correctly formatted, I corrected spelling of guerrilla; correctly cited/supported by ref #2 in 2nd sentence, middle para of 'biography' section; and interesting enough for me to try contending with Google translate!
  • five QPQs done against earlier nomination that this was originally included with, so covered there; no image used.

I'm using an AGF tick as I had to rely on Google translate. SagaciousPhil - Chat 12:57, 14 October 2013 (UTC)

  • Shame on you! :) Drmies (talk) 00:32, 15 October 2013 (UTC)
  • I saw the film (long ago), and while "guerilla warfare" is IIRC a valid description of what it depicts, it's not consistent with the source. Trouw speaks of an "apocalyptic struggle", not guerilla warfare. QVVERTYVS (hm?) 12:46, 16 October 2013 (UTC)
  • Yeah, Qwertyus, that didn't come from Trouw. As a plot descriptor it seems unproblematic to me, but adding a reference or two is easy enough--I knew I didn't invent it. Thanks, Drmies (talk) 17:16, 16 October 2013 (UTC)
I was expecting Qwertyus to come back and check that the additional refs now addressed their query ... but 10 days have come and gone and this nomination is still sitting here. Using a green tick this time as Google translates ref #4 as: (wait for it.... ) "quarrels which eventually lead to a true guerrilla whose parents are victims" and translates ref #6 as: "full-blown guerrilla war" so I feel this more than adequately covers using the hook wording of guerrilla warfare. So I'm re-instating a tick (making it green this time!) as the concern looks to have been addressed. SagaciousPhil - Chat 13:35, 26 October 2013 (UTC)
