B movies (Hollywood Golden Age) was a Media and drama good articles nominee, but did not meet the good article criteria at the time. There may be suggestions below for improving the article. Once these issues have been addressed, the article can be renominated. Editors may also seek a reassessment of the decision if they believe there was a mistake. | ||||||||||

Image:LadiesCravePoster.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

It irks me that "Saturday matinee cowboy features" (epitomized by the works of William "Hopalong Cassidy" Boyd, Gene Autry and Roy Rogers) are so often called "B-Westerns," because they are simply not the same thing, and certainly Wikipedia should not perpetuate this false belief. In the 1930s, while John Wayne was cranking out many of the former for Lone Star Productions (supposedly a pseudonym for Monogram Pictures, but this does not appear to be the case--that's another debate, however) and then Republic, Randolph Scott was starring in the latter for Paramount, a series of adaptations of Zane Grey stories ( The Thundering Herd, for one). The absolute proof of the distinction involves Universal Studios: When new management took over in 1947 and rechristened the place Universal-International, they shut down the programmer division. No more serials or "cowboy" features, but nobody would claim that the Francis the Talking Mule or Ma and Pa Kettle pictures they produced in the 1950s were anything but "Bs." These are (or were, since both no longer exist) absolutely two different production levels and, I submit, Wiki should be making an effort to set the record straight.

Hello. I will be doing the Good Article review for this article. Here are some things that need to be fixed before I can pass the article:
The hold will last one week. Good luck improving the article. Nikki 311 02:59, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
Someone may say
True enuf. But surely his publisher got it right on the cover of his book,
whose facsimile is low-res but utterly inconsistent with "Brain".

That is an interesting concept as it is described in the article.
But, unless I have overlooked something, no examples are given.
What are some famous programmers with "intermediate" budgets?
