I'll take this review. Here is an image check

File:Kansas Saloon Smashers (1901) - yt.webm Fine
File:KansasSaloonSmashers1901.jpg - The date is certainly not 2014.

Yep. Taylor Trescott - ^{my talk} + _{my edits} 15:00, 10 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

File:Edwin S Porter.jpg - I'd link to the Archive.org version (here). Easier to browse. Also, I'll be uploading another version of this later. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 13:42, 10 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I watched the version we have in the article, and there's nothing there that cites "stereotypically Irish", or Nation. Since some of the contents of the plot section are not immediately cited by the film itself (i.e. they need some contextual knowledge/analysis), I'd expect a reference for this reading of the plot.

Cited

While none of the identities of the people who appeared in the picture are known, it is known the women - Too much knowing. Can we unknow a known?

Changed first known to recorded. Now we know less.

Link "bill" for people who aren't familiar with such terms

Done. Taylor Trescott - ^{my talk} + _{my edits} 15:01, 10 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Date for the Time reference?

None that I could see

The ref says 2007 (check out the URL). — Crisco 1492 (talk) 15:05, 10 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Dunn. Taylor Trescott - ^{my talk} + _{my edits} 15:14, 10 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Italicise The New York Times
Any contemporary references to supplement what we have here? — Crisco 1492 (talk) 14:03, 10 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

None useful that I found (most are just ads that give the name of the film and its length)

Thanks for the review. Taylor Trescott - ^{my talk} + _{my edits} 15:00, 10 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Alright, congratulations. This looks to be GA class to me now (I'll take care of the porter image later... I downloaded all of the images from the book). — Crisco 1492 (talk) 15:06, 10 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
