The article is clearly outdated and needs more scholar sources to be added. The prose isn't FA quality some of the sources aren't formatted properly. 🍕BP!🍕 (🔔) 05:41, 7 December 2024 (UTC)
Keep without FARC. @Boneless Pizza!: i don't see anything wrong with the article, perfect number of scholar sources (books and journals) and i don't really expect an article about a 12-minute 1914 film to have any present information. All I see wrong is a page needed tag—which I fixed. Can you elaborate? 750h 12:46, 7 December 2024 (UTC)
- The quotes at background section should be worded the content section seems to be too flimsy, while the reception section isn't that organized either. 🍕BP!🍕 (🔔) 12:54, 7 December 2024 (UTC)
- @Boneless Pizza!:} fixed the number of quotes in the background section, I don't really expect a 12-minute animated film to have a large content section, and I've organised the reception section. 750h 02:31, 8 December 2024 (UTC)
- Not sure with the prose, though I think it is best to wait other editors of what they think about this article now. Thanks! 🍕BP!🍕 (🔔) 02:41, 8 December 2024 (UTC)

I've done some of the source formatting. I'll have a look a proper look at the prose when I have some more time. One note: I can't verify the information on the Variety source; it says p. 26 but I can't see anything on the short on that page. Sgubaldo (talk) 14:47, 9 December 2024 (UTC)
- I do find myself agreeing with 750h though. I had a brief look and there's not really any other worthwhile sources that need to be added. Sgubaldo (talk) 14:06, 10 December 2024 (UTC)
- Fair enough. What about the prose? 🍕BP!🍕 (🔔) 17:30, 10 December 2024 (UTC)
It looks like the Merkl 2007 source is self-published, but most of what it's supporting is specific dates that individual comics were published, mainly in footnotes. It's unclear to me what is outdated about this article or what scholarly sources are missing. I've made one edit to correct a prose error. Hog Farm Talk 21:28, 13 December 2024 (UTC)
- Update:I've rechecked the article abd found no issues. Though, I'm not yet sure with the prose. 🍕BP!🍕 (🔔) 21:36, 13 December 2024 (UTC)
- I think the prose could do with a copyedit, but I do not have the time to do so right now. Sgubaldo (talk) 22:03, 13 December 2024 (UTC)
- I did manage to fix the Variety source. It was linking to the wrong page. Sgubaldo (talk) 21:03, 18 December 2024 (UTC)
