I am nominating this for featured article because I believe it is an accurate and well-written overview of a (quite honestly) interesting film. It has undergone a GA review by MathewTownsend, a PR by Mark Arsten, and a copyedit by Accedie. I have received permission to nominate "at my convenience" (i.e., before the 2-week period) from delegate Ian Rose (diff) — Crisco 1492 (talk) 08:19, 21 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

• Support Alright, between my peer review and subsequent read of the article I think this meets the featured article criteria, in addition to having had one of the most creative DYK hooks in the project's history :) Mark Arsten (talk) 21:31, 25 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

• Thanks :-) I still smile at it. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 23:47, 25 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

• Comments - A few prose concerns:
  • "After undergoing numerous hardships and the deaths of several family members in religious violence, they are able to reconcile and live in harmony" - they are able to reconcile and live in harmony seems a bit strained; could this be worded better?
    • How's this?
  • "To ensure harmony, Sun uses special utensils for the preparation of pork..." - harmony with what? That might need to be clearer.
    • How's this?
  • I'm not sure I like the use of "ne'er-do-well"; could you find a better word (though that might just be personal taste - see what you think)?
    • This might be a bit more standard
  • Towards the end of the third paragraph in the plot section, you start two consecutive sentences with the word meanwhile. Could you vary this?
    • I removed the first "meanwhile"
  • "Fearing that the theme of pluralism would be taken as a "battle cry", some investors abandoned their commitments" - are there any specific cases that you could name here?
    • Doesn't say in the source
  • You mention the NU a few times, without telling us what the letters stand for.
    • It's in the lead; I've doubled it lower down.

You've done a great job; most of what I could find were small prose concerns. Let me know when you've dealt with those issues, and I'll take another look. ItsZippy ^{(talk • contributions)} 15:21, 8 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
