Assessment

Another great article, really a thorough job. I have just a couple of minor questions:

1. The "Performance analysis and aftermath" section: isn't there too much space spent on the biographies and later careers of actors like Aykroyd, Curtis and Ameche? It kind of seemes strained and out of the article's scope.
2. Ref no. 24 seems to have an incorrect format that needs to be fixed. Ref no. 32 as well ([Classic FM (UK)|]).
3. Some of the Washington Post articles have a weird title. For example, no. 16 just goes "MURPHY &". But I guess we cannot know if something is missing from the title if this is their official webpage.--3E1I5S8B9RF7 (talk) 14:48, 25 July 2020 (UTC)

Conclusion

The issues were resolved, I am promiting it.--3E1I5S8B9RF7 (talk) 19:13, 25 July 2020 (UTC)

Responses

• I've tried to trim down those particular actors. I get your point and have tried to be less ...elaborative about them. I think it is important to note certain things, as it can be directly tied to Trading Places that Ameche then got work in Cocoon and won what is in acting terms their highest honor, that Aykroyd's career was on life support but after the film he made Ghostbusters of all things and also got an academy award nom, so his career went from dead to live, and Curtis managed to breakthrough the stigma of basically being a B-Movie actress to get into other things. Hopefully the trim I've done is enough but if not let me know.
• Fixed the ref.
• Yes, some of those WAPO things have broken titles. I assume they used some sort of automated process to transclude them to the website and it cut off at the "&".
• Thanks for taking the time to review another one of these. Darkwarriorblake / SEXY ACTION TALK PAGE! 15:17, 25 July 2020 (UTC)
