Carlito's Way

This peer review discussion has been closed.
Originally a start class when I started working on this article, I have changed a lot in the past few months, expanding on several sections and cleaning up others. The natural progression now is for other people's opinions with a view to GA nomination. Thanks, Nreive (talk) 12:35, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

This is a very admirable writing project and the fact that you have taken it this far from a "start" phase to its present form, is commendable.

Minor concerns:

• Term, "focuses on Carlito's focuses on Carlito's endeavors" could be "focuses on Carlito's activities", "actions," "efforts."
• Note: "but has been better received by both critics and film fans through the years" could be expressed "but has subsequently been better received by both critics and film fans."
• The term, "wearing a wire", is commonplace, but consider he first use of the word as a specialized use, e.g. wearing a "wire."
• "Envisage Carlito Brigante's world," another take: "create, establish, portray, depict Carlito Brigante's world."
• "stuido" – typo.
• Careful – you have three different date systems in place.
• Careful – you have "overlinked" New York. The first mention is sufficient.
• "Carlito's homecoming; The barrio scene" should be: "Carlito's homecoming: the barrio scene."
• "target water temperature, salinity, and ocean floor depth" is a list, so eliminate the Harvard comma: "target water temperature, salinity and ocean floor depth."
• "For the shoot trains were re-routed" is written as "For the shoot, trains were re-routed."

Thank you for the kind words and guidance. I have made the changes as pointed out. It's amazing what you don't notice when you are so close to something. Thanks. Nreive (talk) 08:52, 30 April 2008 (UTC)
