Article review
editIt has been a while since this article was reviewed, so I took a look and noticed the following:
- There are uncited statements, including lots of the awards/honours he received.
- At over 12,000 words, the article is considered WP:TOOBIG. There are lots of large sections that can be trimmed or moved to other articles, like "Critical style" and "Preferences"
- There are lots of block quotes used in the article. Considering that the article is longer then the recommended length, I think this is a good place to better summarise the article.
Should this article go to WP:GAR? Z1720 (talk) 15:53, 22 May 2025 (UTC)

There are uncited statements, including lots of the awards/honours he received. At over 12,000 words, the article is considered WP:TOOBIG and detailed. There are lots of large sections that can be trimmed or moved to other articles, like "Critical style" and "Preferences". There's also lots of block quotes used in the article. Considering that the article is longer then the recommended length, I think this is a good place to better summarise the article per WP:SS. Z1720 (talk) 00:46, 24 June 2025 (UTC)
WRONG!
edit"In 1999, he founded the Overlooked Film Festival in his hometown of Champaign, Illinois." The man was from Urbana -- The article even says he was born there and went to UHS. Champaign is the twin city of Urbana. It's like St. Paul and Minneapolis. Kdammers (talk) 15:27, 7 August 2025 (UTC)
