I've listed this article for peer review because I want to get it to GA status someday. I would like some advice on to how I can expand the article so that it can cover the full topic, as well as any other considerations so I can get it to GA status.

editI will try to help out. I may not be proficient in film articles and I may have not seen the film before (though definitely have heard of it), I do know enough about film articles and Wikipedia to help out. Here are my recommendations.
- Right off the bat, the reception section needs to be expanded. If this film truly was "received well by critics", there should be enough reviews from news sites and magazines to construct a good reception section.
- A lot of the article seems to be backed up by primary sources. Primary sources are OK, but generally, in Wikipedia, secondary sources are preferred if possible, as per WP:PRIMARY and WP:SECONDARY. Try to find secondary sources.
- WP:RSP has a list of discussed sources and their reliability assessments. Try looking up the film in the relevant sources deemed reliable, especially newspapers and pop culture sites. At the bottom is a link to a custom search engine designed for searching sources deemed reliable.
- The Wikiproject Film has a list of resources specific to films. You can look through them for research.
- Considering Who Killed Captain Alex was produced in Uganda, it would be a good idea to look through Ugandan newspapers. Wikipedia does have a list of Ugandan newspapers, most of which are in English.
- For great examples of film articles to serve as examples, look at the articles that have made it to GA and FA. Raiders of the Lost Ark and Groundhog Day are recent and great examples of film FAs. As for examples of films so bad their good, a particular GA that comes to mind is The Room.
- For information about how to write a film article, go to MOS:FILM for guidance.
- Don't worry about padding out the length of the article to reach Raiders of the Lost Ark levels. All that is required for a GA is that all the main aspects are covered. Not even FAs have to be that long as they cover all the major aspects of the topic.
Hope these recommendations help. Lazman321 (talk) 04:46, 25 February 2022 (UTC)
