{{Talk:My Neighbor Totoro/GA1}}

{{ping|Sims2aholic8}}, thanks for your detailed review, {{ping|TheBlinkster}}, I thank you for correcting the incorrect tense here, which used to be present continuous but I accidentally changed it into past simple, inconsistent with the rest of the plot section.

However, {{u|TheBlinkster}}, you've restored the line "One rainy evening". This is indeed long-standing text but I've removed as in the article's GAN review it was said that {{tq|The "Plot" section could use some work to make sure it is written from a more neutral, out-of-universe point-of-view as per MOS:PLOT. In my opinion references to, for example, "one rainy night" and "one day", venture more into creative writing than an encyclopaedic plot summary}} by Sims2aholic8. TheBlinkster, I'd be interested if you have an opinion about the phrase (as in whether it builds upon additional context). Thanks. VickKiang (talk) 00:47, 26 March 2023 (UTC)

It has some striking similarities with Alice in Wonderland; I'm not sure if/where to include it, but some sources that may help: [https://books.google.com/books?id=UnuLCwAAQBAJ&pg=PA159&lpg=PA159&dq=totoro+alice+in+wonderland&source=bl&ots=bA3UKeXFic&sig=ACfU3U35xni8q_qRcsoc2dbX6GanakuwhQ&hl=pt-BR&sa=X&redir_esc=y#v=onepage&q=totoro%20alice%20in%20wonderland&f=false], [https://books.google.com/books?id=8Ca8EAAAQBAJ&pg=PA184&lpg=PA184&dq=totoro+alice+in+wonderland&source=bl&ots=XVveD46_0H&sig=ACfU3U2NvUKnLUXNdIwybmMWFwMyam2UMA&hl=pt-BR&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwj80-Wrk9uAAxVfCbkGHTwSCrM4FBDoAXoECBkQAw#v=onepage&q=totoro%20alice%20in%20wonderland&f=false], [https://books.google.com/books?id=z98JEAAAQBAJ&pg=PT101&lpg=PT101&dq=totoro+alice+in+wonderland&source=bl&ots=ZsdplKD1ZA&sig=ACfU3U2fVYTnDkA_ct3bm_anH2Ts9aLxKw&hl=pt-BR&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwj80-Wrk9uAAxVfCbkGHTwSCrM4FBDoAXoECBcQAw#v=onepage&q=totoro%20alice%20in%20wonderland&f=false], [https://www.theodysseyonline.com/why-neighbor-totoro-amazing], [https://decentfilms.com/reviews/myneighbortotoro]

:{{Reply to|Gabriel Yuji}} This information is certainly interesting, and I think a sentence mentioning it could be fit somewhere in the Reception section, though I'm not sure exactly where. Links 4 and 5 seem like WP:SELFPUB, by the way, so I might not include them. —TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 06:54, 14 August 2023 (UTC)

Hey Poirot09, I don't think the phrase "cult following" should be used in the lead at the moment, as the phrase is never used later in the article. I also could not find a source that uses this specific phrase, which is why I let DBeyer2003's edit stand. Let me know what you think! —TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 12:58, 17 September 2023 (UTC)

:After re-reading the article, I think the phrase should be outright removed. There is no substantial information regarding the fandom, only about Totoro's impact as a character, which is already covered in the lead. Poirot09 (talk) 13:22, 17 September 2023 (UTC)

::I think that makes sense. Lacking any significant discussion in the body, there's no reason for it to remain in the lead. I'll go ahead and remove it. —TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 15:18, 17 September 2023 (UTC)

I've noticed that one of the sources in the legacy section (https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/hr/content_display/film/news/e3i3338808b4eeae51f3a3a1b041eee3d7c/) has been tagged as dead since last year, is there a way we could deal with this? Blue Jay (talk) 10:35, 20 September 2023 (UTC)
