GA review (see here for what the criteria are, and here for what they are not)

1. It is reasonably well written.

   a. (prose, spelling, and grammar):

   In the plot summary, not sure the use of espiritista twice is the best choice.

   b. (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):

   The Lead section does not mention the supernatural or spiritism. It should. It needs expansion to reflect the page. Other infos seem missing (context for the director). We probably understand it's an important film but the reader needs to know roughly why that is.

2. It is factually accurate and verifiable.

   a. (reference section):

   b. (citations to reliable sources):

   c. (OR):

   Production: The source about not being able to cast big stars is an interview with DL. When the article says that hiring big stars was a "the convention at the time", 1) it should be said it is DL who said that 2) the word "convention" should be replaced by "practice" (and presented as a quote). Themes section: More importantly, the analysis of themes section may look as original synthesis. We cannot know for sure from the way it is written if the Sisos article (quoted 6 times in this section only) is dealing with this particular film (and not of a more general scope). It is certainly not far from accurate, but we need other sources plainly analysing this topic in this film. For example, this sentenceThis distinguishes the séance in Itim from scenes in similar films of the horror genre, as in Itim there is seriousness in the séances' religious legitimacy. does not seem to be a quotation from Sisos. And if it is, like the paragraph coming just after, it is not convincing in the way it uses the source or articulates article phrasing and source quoted.

   d. (copyvio and plagiarism):

3. It is broad in its coverage.

   a. (major aspects):

   The Production section looks promising and even good. However the Themes and allusions one (see below) is a bit frustrating because of its limited scope (and the Heading title should, in my view not stay). Release and Reception sections have been tagged as needing expansion in April '23 and not clearly improved since then. I concur the Reception section might need more expansion if possible.

(Later note about my own assessment: I made a mistake asserting the sections had not been improved since they had been tagged; they had been improved, but the tag had been left....I apologise.-My, oh my! (Mushy Yank) 17:17, 30 January 2024 (UTC))

1. b. (focused):

   See below.

2. It follows the neutral point of view policy.

   Fair representation without bias:

   The emphasis on the topic of catholicism is certainly fair but the fact that no other themes are mentioned in that section makes it look like a bias.

3. It is stable.

   No edit wars, etc.:

4. It is illustrated by images and other media, where possible and appropriate.

   a. (images are tagged and non-free content have non-free use rationales):

   b. (appropriate use with suitable captions):

   Only one photograph (not counting the theatrical poster, of course). Probably needs more or one will ask: Why her?

5. Overall:

   Pass/fail:

   The page is interesting, well written, shows attention to crucial points and certainly has some excellent parts. But the fact that the article was not reviewed for B class (it's still a C class article, technically) did not help I think. I think it lacks overall content in various sections, in particular in those that were tagged a couple of weeks ago around the nomination. This nomination was in my view too early. The page shows nice, promising work but definitely not up to meet GA standards. I wanted to take more time and say Wait but, on second thoughts, too much work is needed and an altogether new review is probably better. I suggest to pass through the process of an assessment for B, first, if possible.

	2a. it contains a list of all references (sources of information), presented in accordance with the layout style guideline.	All references are okay.
	2b. reliable sources are cited inline. All content that could reasonably be challenged, except for plot summaries and that which summarizes cited content elsewhere in the article, must be cited no later than the end of the paragraph (or line if the content is not in prose).	All uses of sources are reliable. Although, the lead was have a citations that should not have a citations but some lead needs a citation so it will fine for this as consideration.
	2c. it contains no original research.

3. Broad in its coverage:
	3a. it addresses the main aspects of the topic.	looks fine and scope of the article was maintained the topic.
	3b. it stays focused on the topic without going into unnecessary detail (see summary style).	All goods to me.
	4. Neutral: it represents viewpoints fairly and without editorial bias, giving due weight to each.	Meet the WP:NPOV.
	5. Stable: it does not change significantly from day to day because of an ongoing edit war or content dispute.	no edit war.
6. Illustrated, if possible, by media such as images, video, or audio:
	6a. media are tagged with their copyright statuses, and valid non-free use rationales are provided for non-free content.	the poster are okay, using fair use rationale.
	6b. media are relevant to the topic, and have suitable captions.	same as 6a.
	7. Overall assessment.	Wait until Mushy Yank to address the recommendation. The article suitable for Good Article and can be now nominated on WP:DYK or in higher on WP:FA nomination. But I would suggest for a peer review before nominate on FA. If you are not statisfied, just do a reassessment on this. Royiswariii Talk! 08:05, 21 November 2024 (UTC)

 Done -Hello, Royiswariii and thank you for reviewing this. -Mushy Yank. 13:33, 19 November 2024 (UTC)

May I ask? Why did you review the own GA? Talk:Itim/GA1? You know you aren't supposed review your own nomination? Royiswariii Talk! 16:00, 19 November 2024 (UTC)

Hello, I didn't review my own nomination. I reviewed Kting97's (see User talk:Kting97#Your GA nomination of Itim 2) who seems to have left Wikipedia. (Also see that discussion and my attempt here). Thanks again. -Mushy Yank. 16:18, 19 November 2024 (UTC)

Drive-by comment

Royiswariii, I see you've given each criterion a pass with little to no comment. Could you explain in the Review Comment field what made each criterion a pass? Because I just skimmed through the article and found the Cast section and claim about the positive reception the movie allegedly earned to be uncited, contrary to MOS:FILMCAST and MOS:FILMCRITICS. Please note that content assessment such as a GA review requires giving an article an in-depth review and not merely a rubber-stamp approval (WP:GAN/I#R3); lest, you undermine the GA process and create a culture of complacency. Nineteen Ninety-Four guy (talk) 03:58, 21 November 2024 (UTC)

Hi, Nineteen Ninety-Four guy!

I checked carefully the article and it's looks good to me, I'll add all my review comment, I didn't check for now because i'm too busy in my academics. Royiswariii Talk! 05:09, 21 November 2024 (UTC)

Hello, Nineteen Ninety-Four guy! Thank you for your note.

Unless I am mistaken, MOS:FILMCAST does not indicate cast sections should have cites; from my understanding, just like Plot section, they refer to the film content (credits), unless actors appear with a different name or are uncredited, per MOSCAST "Names should be referred to as credited, or by common name supported by a reliable source."/"For uncredited roles, a citation should be provided". See Enola Holmes (film)#Cast (GA), for example. Now, you can add refs if you develop the character's description (See Citizen Kane (FA)) and I will add a reference if you think it's better. Most cast members happen to be cited in another section (Casting). Thanks again -Mushy Yank. 05:56, 21 November 2024 (UTC) Done

I have removed the short sentence about overall positive reception that was indeed meant to introduce the 2 following sentences and contrast it with poor commercial reception. Thanks. -Mushy Yank. 06:23, 21 November 2024 (UTC) Done

Thank you!@Royiswariii:; I should insist that the article is mostly Kting97's work, and would also like to thank @Spodle and Paleface Jack: for their work.-Mushy Yank. 12:23, 21 November 2024 (UTC)

@Mushy Yank: I do not believe I helped much, other than offer a few pointers. Appreciate that however. Paleface Jack (talk) 17:27, 21 November 2024 (UTC)
