Basic Instinct

I have completly rewriten this article for GA and then FA status. Any suggestions would be helpful. The article was really lacking in terms of information, impact, ect., and its such a '90s defining film, I'm suprised it doesn't already have a GA or FA status. So again, suggestions will be fantastic. Angel2001 12:54, 23 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

THe article seems quite comprehensive and there's a lot of interesting information in there but there are some problems I've noticed:

All images used in the article need Fair use rationales.
You need to use proper citation templates for your references.
There are quite a lot of statements in there that still needs referencing. Also, you might need to find some better sources. You seem to be quite reliant on the trivia section of IMDb and that's not a very reliable source.
Phrases like "Many considered this to fall very short of expectations..." need cleaning up and to have sources. We need to know who exactly you're talking about. See Wikipedia:Avoid weasel words.
One small point about the plot - is it really necessary to mention "During the confrontation, she unfolds her legs to reveal she is not wearing any underwear..."? I know that this scene is probably the most famous thing about the film, but it seems to kind of stick out in the plot, it's not really relevant to the story. I don't know if you could find somewhere else in the article to mention it.
Phrases in the plot like "This is his way of feeling empowerment." sound like Original research.

I hope some of this helps. --Beloved freak 10:57, 5 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The lead section feels overwhelming I think. Before you even get to the main section. Whataboutbob 18:52, 9 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
