My name is Heidi Pusey and I am a paid student employee of Rachel Helps (BYU) at the Harold B. Lee Library. The library has a collection of Merian C. Cooper's papers, which can be found here. Because this is one of Cooper's films, I thought I'd work on improving the page. So far I'm thinking about improving the inline citations and filling in information as needed. If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to reach out. COI declarations on userpage. Heidi Pusey BYU (talk) 21:19, 11 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I've noticed that a few of the sources under "References" are used multiple times without using a shortened footnote style. Others do. In order to make the citations consistent, I'm going to move the formerly mentioned sources to the bibliography and use sfn to represent them in "References". Additionally, I'm going to take any current references that use a shortened footnote style without the sfn template and place them into the template.

@Paleface Jack I'm trying to figure out where to put the blurb about whether or not Hitler watched the film. It's currently in "Criticism of racism and sexism" but I was thinking of putting it in "Legacy" or even in the "Critical response" section, which I will be changing to plain old "Reception" once I add a separate "Interpretations" heading to the article (this will cover the different interpretations about race and sex). I just think the Hitler bit would fit better in one of those sections. Do you have any thoughts?
"Sequel and franchise" looks very choppy to me. Would it be a good idea to combine it into one paragraph (this is what I'm leaning towards), or do you think the separation should be maintained? I've seen both in articles but another opinion would be helpful. I know these questions seem like they're about simple things but I really don't know what to do about them.

@Heidi Pusey BYU Hitler watching it does not seem that noteworthy to me personally. As for reception, I learned that the best way to organize things is to have each paragraph devoted to a point of critique or praise. Best example of that is how DarkWarriorBlake structures his Featured Articles, focusing on reviews from that time period, then have another section talking about the reassessment or more praise/recognition.
Interpretations can just be changed to "Analysis". Sequels and Franchise, as far as I know, can be best reported in a couple of paragraphs. Aliens (film) is a good example of how to properly do something like that. This film has had an extensive influence upon Cinema and other works, so that will be a little challenge sifting through that in a reasonable manner.
