The article is clearly outdated and needs more scholar sources to be added. The prose isn't FA quality + some of the sources aren't formatted properly. 🍕BP!🍕 (🔔) 05:41, 7 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep without FARC. @Boneless Pizza!: i don't see anything wrong with the article, perfect number of scholar sources (books and journals) and i don't really expect an article about a 12-minute 1914 film to have any present information. All I see wrong is a page needed tag—which I fixed. Can you elaborate? 750h+ 12:46, 7 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The quotes at background section should be worded + the content section seems to be too flimsy, while the reception section isn't that organized either. 🍕BP!🍕 (🔔) 12:54, 7 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Boneless Pizza!:} fixed the number of quotes in the background section, I don't really expect a 12-minute animated film to have a large content section, and I've organised the reception section. 750h+ 02:31, 8 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Not sure with the prose, though I think it is best to wait other editors of what they think about this article now. Thanks! 🍕BP!🍕 (🔔) 02:41, 8 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I've done some of the source formatting. I'll have a look a proper look at the prose when I have some more time. One note: I can't verify the information on the Variety source; it says p. 26 but I can't see anything on the short on that page. Sgubaldo (talk) 14:47, 9 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I do find myself agreeing with 750h+ though. I had a brief look and there's not really any other worthwhile sources that need to be added. Sgubaldo (talk) 14:06, 10 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Fair enough. What about the prose? 🍕BP!🍕 (🔔) 17:30, 10 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
