Ah Boys to Men

  • I am concerned that some of the phrasing used in this article is too close to that of its sources. Compare for example "explores the many perennial issues that recruits and their kins face while in Basic Military Training" with "exploration of the many perennial issues recruits and their loved ones face while in BMT", or "Neo still insisted on shooting them because he wanted to give the audience a new experience" with "he insisted on shooting these scenes despite the cost, because he believed it will give audiences "a new experience"".

  • I have duly noted your "concerns" by making the appropriate changes. It's now fixed. Thank you and may you take a look again. Bonkers The Clown (Nonsensical Babble) 09:51, 2 December 2012 (UTC)
  • Thanks for your efforts so far, but additional work is needed on this point - for example, "the special effects-heavy battle sequences" and "which involved real weapons, pyrotechnics and numerous extras" are both direct quotes from the source, while "Discussions are also reportedly going on with Hong Kong distributors" is nearly the same as "Discussions are going on with Hong Kong distributors". Needs to be thoroughly checked. Nikkimaria (talk) 15:10, 2 December 2012 (UTC)
  • I have duly noted your concerns by making the appropriate changes. It's now fixed. Thank you and may you take a look again. Bonkers The Clown (Nonsensical Babble) 11:47, 3 December 2012 (UTC)
  • Better. The article in general could use a good copy-editing, though. Nikkimaria (talk) 03:42, 5 December 2012 (UTC)
