Feedback from New Page Review process[edit]

I left the following feedback for the creator/future reviewers while reviewing this article: Thank you for this new article. Note that other editors have called for more citations for claims that have been made. I agree that this is necessary in the "Appearances" section, though the rest of the article looks good..

Cleanup and expansion[edit]

Looking over this article, it is off to a good start. However, it needs a little bit more expansion and fine-tuning to get it up to Wikipiedia's guidelines and standards. Here is a list of things that need to happen before it gets to that point and possibly further down the road, a GA nomination.

Appearances section needs to be rewritten so that each of the character's appearances exists as a brief summary with proper citations from the films he appears in done for each appearance.
Concept and creation section needs a bit more information added to it the information properly cited and reliably sourced. The character's development in each film can be added as well as the actors who portray them in each of the development and casting sections (now renamed). For further point of reference, check out the structure of Jason Voorhees Concept and creation section.
Information on Art's characterisation can be added in a separate section.
Information on the character's legacy (with sub-sections on the reception and popular culture) needs further expansion.

This article is looking good, keep up the good work!--Paleface Jack (talk) 22:08, 31 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Reception: Film School Rejects[edit]

Is this microblog really a notable source? 46.7.28.113 (talk) 18:49, 23 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Main picture[edit]

I changed the main picture to David Howard Thornton as Art from Terrifier 2. At this point Thornton's portrayal is the more well-known depiction of the character having appeared in two full-length films and is set to play Art for any future films.
