GA concerns
I am concerned that this article no longer meets the good article criteria. Some of my concerns are listed below:
- There is a lot of uncited text throughout the article
- At over 12,000 words, WP:TOOBIG says that it could possibly be trimmed. I think some information can be moved to other articles, and the information summarised here.
- There are several unreliable sources used as inline citations, such as WP:WHATCULTURE and cracked.com
Is anyone willing to address these concerns, or should this go to WP:GAR? Z1720 (talk) 21:19, 14 September 2024 (UTC)
::The first two points are entirely because of the forced integration of the Alternative versions of the Joker article, which is also entirely unsourced. Remove that section and there's no problem. The other references were perfectly fine when it went through GA and are hardly a reason to take it to GAR. Darkwarriorblake (talk) 21:43, 14 September 2024 (UTC)
:::{{re|Darkwarriorblake}} Thanks for removing a lot of the uncited statements. For the two references cited above, is someone able to replace them with better, reliable sources? Z1720 (talk) 23:18, 9 October 2024 (UTC)
:Hi, I'm late, but I was wondering, why not make "In Other Media" its own section rather than a subsection, and move most of the content to a spin-off page? I feel like the current version is a bit excessive. A lot of that information seems more suited for the "Joker in other media" page, not here. I think it makes more sense to just include his mainstream appearances—like the live-action ones—and a brief summary of the critical response. Is that good?

infobox image
Hi, I was wondering why the infobox image was changed? It used to feature the promotional artwork for Batman: Three Jokers (in the Character biography section). I think that was a better option, as it visually represents the character across three eras. Should we switch it back? Lililolol (talk) 21:53, 15 April 2025 (UTC)
:Seems like someone unilaterally switched it without discussion at some point. I'll make the change shortly. JOEBRO64 00:19, 16 April 2025 (UTC)
