Nominator(s):  — Crisco 1492 (talk) 00:18, 8 November 2012 (UTC)

I am nominating this for featured article because I think it is a thorough look at an interesting and fairly significant short film. This is admittedly a bit different than my usual FAC material, but I'm certain you'll find it an engaging read. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 00:18, 8 November 2012 (UTC)

Addressed comments from TBrandley moved to talk

• Support on all criteria. TBrandley 03:11, 12 November 2012 (UTC)
• Thanks for the review! — Crisco 1492 (talk) 08:10, 12 November 2012 (UTC)

Support - most of my concerns were answered in the peer review, with just a few more minor points:

• "first venture at directly addressing" - I think this should be either "first attempt at directly addressing" or "first venture directly addressing"

• Done. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 23:38, 10 November 2012 (UTC)

• "After pondering how to complete the film...chose to complete the film" - repetitive

• Done — Crisco 1492 (talk)

• "In screenings Frank's Cock was later marketed" - don't think "later" fits here, either it was marketed during the screenings or after them

• Done. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 23:38, 10 November 2012 (UTC)

• "films regarding the disease had appeared...had appeared in 1985" - repetitive

• Done — Crisco 1492 (talk) 23:48, 10 November 2012 (UTC)

• "early gay pioneers with AIDS" - by "pioneers" do you mean activists or open spokespeople, or just any gay person with AIDS?

• Source has "artists", changed to that (he gives Vito Russo and Arthur J. Bressan, Jr. as examples from the first generation). — Crisco 1492 (talk) 23:48, 10 November 2012 (UTC)

• Were there any copyright concerns raised about the clips appropriated for the non-original quadrants?

• None that I could find. Hoolboom's views on copyright can be read here, and I doubt he would have cared either way. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 23:38, 10 November 2012 (UTC)

• "touted the short as expressing, humour, and sexual obsession" - is that a stray comma after "expressing", or do you mean "expressive"? (Or is this a quote?)

• That's a typo. Done. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 23:38, 10 November 2012 (UTC)

• Cole: page range should use endash

• Done — Crisco 1492 (talk) 23:38, 10 November 2012 (UTC)

• Check alphabetization of References. Nikkimaria (talk) 21:46, 10 November 2012 (UTC)

• Thanks for the review and support! — Crisco 1492 (talk) 23:38, 10 November 2012 (UTC)

Support. Well written, meticulously sourced, educational and encyclopedic. However, like Nikkimaria (talk · contribs), I've just got a few minor points that could be addressed:

• Any chance of an image for the infobox? Some sort of movie poster, or something like that?

• Haven't found anything like that. Theoretically we could put the screencap there, but it works better next to where it is discussed. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 08:10, 12 November 2012 (UTC)

• Could we perchance get a See also section, with suggestions for the reader of between 3-5 articles they might be interested in, and also some links to related portals?
• Suggest adding a Further reading section, with recommendations of 4-6 books or scholarly articles or other sources of further reading for the reader within the more general topics discussed, not necessarily relating specifically to the film?

• I'll look into these two. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 08:10, 12 November 2012 (UTC)

• I've added a bit of both. Not sure on the relevance of the further reading selection, but it would likely provide good background knowledge for the interested reader. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 08:27, 12 November 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for your efforts on this high quality article, — Cirt (talk) 01:30, 12 November 2012 (UTC)

• Thanks for the review! — Crisco 1492 (talk) 08:10, 12 November 2012 (UTC)

• Support - I reviewed this for GA - I found the prose very warm and engaging, really a nice read, and it is comprehensive as well. I can't think of anything else to improve. Casliber (talk · contribs) 21:47, 12 November 2012 (UTC)
  • Thanks for everything! — Crisco 1492 (talk) 22:51, 12 November 2012 (UTC)

• Support - very interesting read. Meets FA criteria.--Dwaipayan (talk) 06:36, 13 November 2012 (UTC)
  • Thanks! — Crisco 1492 (talk) 10:52, 13 November 2012 (UTC)

• Support - Pretty small article, but well researched! It's a pleasant read and I'm impressed with your notes and referencing. Nice job!--CallMeNathan • Talk2Me 01:38, 14 November 2012 (UTC)

Delegate notes -- picky referencing things:

• Couldn't see where McIntosh appeared in the citations -- perhaps the ref belongs in a Further Reading section.

• I had added the author after adding the reference and neglected to update the short references.

• Inconsistent formatting for multiple authors: "Rush and Baughman 1997" vs. " Reinke & Henricks 1997" (actually, I believe the best method is to mirror the full reference format that uses a semi-colon, e.g. "Reinke; Henricks 1997", but it's not a deal-breaker for me).

• Standardised to "&", as that is default for SFN.

• Why is Ann Arbor Film Festival abbreviated "AA Film Fest" while Toronto International Film Festival is abbreviated TIFF? Unless these differ because they're official abbreviations, they should be consistent.

• I was going based on website names, but it appears Ann Arbor also uses AAFF. Changed.

• Thanks for the nitpicks! — Crisco 1492 (talk) 04:31, 14 November 2012 (UTC)

Image check -- adequate FUR for screenshot, portrait released with OTRS. Cheers, Ian Rose (talk) 17:27, 15 November 2012 (UTC)
