Congratulations. This is a very good article on its way to becoming featured. A few requests/suggestions:
Well-referenced and nice prose. Dmoon1 04:44, 25 July 2006 (UTC)
For some mysterious reason, the References Section of this article became very strange after a recent, and extremely minor, edit I made. In an attempt to correct the error, I reverted to the previous version of the article, but the References Section is still weird. I can't figure out what the problem is. For anybody with more technical wikipedia knowledge, please take a look and see if this can be easily corrected. Thanks. Hal Raglan 20:06, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
This article needs at least a cast section. Cbrown1023 13:57, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
there is no need for Cast sections. have one if you want but its not at all necessary.
The article consistently refers to the BBFC as the " British Board of Film Classification", however until 1984 it retained its original name of the "British Board of Film Censors". "Classification" is anachronistic with regard to this article, and I'll change the references to "Censors". -- Arwel ( talk) 23:21, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
An editor inserted the following into the Home Video Versions section of the article: "At the end of his book "Madness Unchained: A Reading of Virgil's Aeneid" (Lexington Books, 2007), classicist Dr. Lee Fratantuono of Ohio Wesleyan University makes the argument that Reeves' "Witchfinder General"/"The Conqueror Worm" can be viewed as a cinematic retelling of Virgil's epic of fury, The Aeneid." While this could very well be true, it has nothing at all to do with the section's subject. I can't think of a suitable place to put this interesting piece of trivia, so I'm including it here for now.- Hal Raglan 03:42, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
The author then goes on for another 6 pages on the film and its parallels to the Aeneid.

A cleanup page has been created for WP:FILMS' spotlight articles. One element that is being checked in ensuring the quality of the articles is the non-free images. Currently, one or more non-free images being used in this article are under discussion to determine if they should be removed from the article for not complying with non-free and fair use requirements. Please comment at the corresponding section within the image cleanup listing. Before contributing the discussion, please first read WP:FILMNFI concerning non-free images. Ideally the discussions pertaining to the spotlight articles will be concluded by the end of June, so please comment soon to ensure there is clear consensus. --Happy editing!

@ Z1720: - I'm concerned that a number of the sources in the home video section are not RS. Not sure that the following are RS:
As this in only a minor aspect of the article, I'm going to go ahead and mark as satisfactory at WP:URFA/2020A, but leave this as a note there. Hog Farm Talk 19:23, 30 April 2023 (UTC)
