Images needed

I think this article needs: A good portrait of Donen, a still from On the Town from the opening scene (possibly the RCA building or central park), and better stills for Funny Face, 7 Brides and maybe Charade.--206.188.55.235 (talk) 02:04, 12 October 2011 (UTC)

Assessment

I have assessed this article as a C-class article, because it contains a lot of content. However, I have some concerns. Substantially all of the information appears to have come from one source. This often presents copyright issues. Also, note that the article is rather sloppy and needs extensive proofreading to eliminate the numerous typos, stray punctuation, etc. Indeed, it is a bit suspicious that the content is so sloppy yet basically well-written, which makes me think that it may be close paraphrasing from the source. Please see WP:PARAPHRASE. -- Ssilvers (talk) 02:07, 13 October 2011 (UTC)

With all due respect, that made me laugh out loud and remember my grade school teachers bafflement at my good grades and horrendous spelling. It is not plagarized from the source, I have taken the basic information and some of the ideas and put them in my own words. I'm sure that anyone who got a copy of the book I am using would see that. I also have terrible penmanship, and mustard stains on my current shirt.--206.188.55.235 (talk) 02:22, 13 October 2011 (UTC) I'm done with this page now, but your appreciation for the hours I spent on it is duely noted.--206.188.55.235 (talk) 02:47, 13 October 2011 (UTC)
