Brief GA comments

[edit]

Just some brief comments:

  • Image:Thestonetape.JPG needs fair use rationale.
  • Lead needs developing, incorporating references.
  • There are a good range of reliable sources here. It's good to see many print sources. Perhaps you could also use some reliable web sources, such as [1] and [2] (You've usefully already included these in the external links section: if I were writing the article I'd be tempted to use them as cites).
  • The Background section is rather long: perhaps splitting down into further sections?

Well done so far. The JPStalk to me 19:26, 10 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your comments. In response, taking each of your comments in turn:
  • Fair use has been added to the image page.
  • Lead section has been expanded (always one of my weak points). However, I was under the impression that citations in the lead (with a few notable exceptions e.g. if a direct quote is used in the text) were generally frowned upon i.e. that the lead is to be a summary of the cited material in the body of the text. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
  • Done.
  • I had a look at reorganising the Background section but I feel that my efforts to change it interrupted the flow of the text and made the article somewhat bitty. I don't feel that the section is excessively long, so for now I think I'll leave it as it is. If this becomes critical in passing GA, I will, of course, revisit it.

Well written, well sourced - well done! I think the adjustments are fine, so I am passing the article. Chubbles 08:07, 17 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Matheson's "Hell House" ...

[edit]

Published in 1971, Richard Matheson's novel has some similarities. Did Kneale read the book? 104.169.28.236 (talk) 06:18, 10 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

This 2007 addition has multiple unsourced or badly sourced statements, which would not meet GA standards. Spinixster (chat!) 10:20, 31 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
