The article completely lacks reliable sources – see Wikipedia:Verifiability.
The topic is treated in an obviously non-neutral way – see Wikipedia:Neutral point of view.
There are cleanup banners that are obviously still valid, including cleanup, wikify, NPOV, unreferenced or large numbers of fact, clarifyme, or similar tags.
The article is or has been the subject of ongoing or recent, unresolved edit wars.
The article specifically concerns a rapidly unfolding current event with a definite endpoint.
Two paragraphs are completely un-referenced. Other paragraphs are only sparsely referenced.
Novels and related works
no citation for the Faulks book
Adaptations
In the late 1950s, EON Productions guaranteed the film adaptation rights for every 007 novel... guaranteed? Surely they purchased them? Please clarify.
Non-EON films, radio and television programmes
First three and the last paragraph are unreferenced.
Cultural impact
This section is nearly all about parodies, can no other examples of cultural impact be found?
Music
Apart from the beginning, this section is lacking references.
Video games
Likewise, mostly missing references.
Bond video games, however, did not reach their popular stride until Popular stride, consider re-wording.
Subsequently, virtually every Bond video game has attempted to copy the accomplishments and features of GoldenEye 007 to varying degrees of success; even going so far as to have a game entitled GoldenEye: Rogue Agent that had little to do with either the video game GoldenEye 007 or the film of the same name. Clumsy, rewrite for style.
Section is rather too detailed, consider summarizing.
Comic strips and comic books
Completely unreferenced
Vehicles and gadgets
Very few references
Lead
The lead omits coverage of the later sections (after films). The lead should be an executive summary of the entire article.
Overall
I have made some minor copy-edits, but I would recommend more thorough attention to the prose style. The article is fairly well written, but could be improved.
#2 and #5 appear to be to the same source; #11 and #12 nead full citations rather than just html links; likewise #30, #31, #34, #36, #40, #41, #44, #45, #50. Please aim for consistent formatting of references throughout.
Apparently no OR, but as mentioned some sections lack full referencing.
It is broad in its scope.
a (major aspects):
The article is reasonably broad in scope
b (focused):
Perhaps too much detail in video games and music. The article is about James Bond, not the music used in films or the (mostly) marketing spin-offs of films.
OK, I am going to put the article on hold for seven days for the above concerns to be addressed. Please place any comments / queries here, either after my comments or below this.
