FA possibilities

  • Ayn Rand: This is a level-4 vital article about one of the most controversial authors of the 20th century. Rand wrote Broadway plays, Hollywood screenplays, and bestselling novels, but she is most commonly discussed today because of the ideas she championed in her later novels and nonfiction essays. You may have heard her mentioned as a key figure in "libertarianism" or "neoliberalism" – labels she rejected or never heard of (respectively). This longtime GA article has been updated with recent scholarship about her background, impact, and academic reception, to make it ready for FAC feedback.
  • Dracula (1924 play)‎ - C - needs reception and analysis sections; expand history; update sourcing
The title character is one of the most famous in fiction, and this first authorized adaptation of the novel made a star of Bela Lugosi, the actor most famous for playing the character.
  • Avery Hopwood - start - could use sources already accumulated for FAs about some of his plays
  • Ladies' Night (play) - start - needs a lot of work but several good sources are available, including
    • Latham, Angela J. (2000). Posing a Threat: Flappers, Chorus Girls, and Other Brazen Performers of the American 1920s. London: Wesleyan University Press. pp. 122–155.
      • 375 performances in NY, opened in Chicago March 20, 2922, but closed six weeks later as a commercial failure (122)
      • "subversive parody of heterosexuality" (122)
      • critics in both cities were negative about risque content (124)
      • other plays may have shown as much flesh, but LN combined this with suggestive dialogue (124)
      • staging and costuming was detailed to create suggestive situations and expose women's bodies (126-129)
      • "Not only does the play feature scantily attired women, it also mocks those who prefer the ostensibly more chaste styles of an earlier era." (129)

GA possibilities

[edit]
  • Anthem (novella) - C - better sourcing for history and legacy, expanded reception
  • Atlas Shrugged - B - reduce quote use, improve sourcing, copy edit for flow, have peer reviewed
  • We the Living - C - expand lead, add analysis
  • Within the Law (play) - B - needs expanded plot summary and reception
  • The Gold Diggers (1919 play)
  • Fair and Warmer
  • The Fascinating Widow
  • Sarah Bernhardt - B - very thorough, but has lots of redundancy and possibly excess detail
