Spoken Article

There is a request, submitted by Mickey798 (talk), for an audio version of this article to be created. For further information, see WikiProject Spoken Wikipedia.

The rationale behind the request is: "This article should be a spoken article because it's one of the most popular films of all time.".

Edit request: to add new references and to remove the template for no sources in the "Music and Records" section

This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

Proposal: to remove a template indicating a lack of reference citations and to add a link and two references to the song "With A Smile and a Song (song)" inside the list of well-known songs from the film as mentioned in the opening sentence of the Music and records section as suggested here:

The songs in Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs were composed by Frank Churchill and Larry Morey. Paul J. Smith and Leigh Harline composed the incidental music score. Well-known songs from the film include "Heigh-Ho", "Someday My Prince Will Come", "Whistle While You Work" and "With A Smile and a Song".^[1] ^[2]^[3]

By including this link, it would also be possible to remove the template included at the very start of the "Music and Records" section which indicates that the entire section lacks any reference citations and requires improvement. Thanks in advance for your help. 160.72.81.86 (talk) 14:37, 13 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Partly done: I have added the references (2 of the 3; more would be overkill) and removed the template but the later parts of the section still require references – perhaps moreso than that part. I have therefore replaced the template with one asking for additional citations. Thank you, Irltoad (talk) 14:52, 4 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

GAR

This article has not aged well, although it is complete and everything has a few problems but they are very serious. First, the "Music and records" section has no reference and the "Financial issues" section is very small and less exhaustive, plus in "Live-action adaptation" there is a paragraph without references. Anyway, although the article is generally good, it needs an extensive review to maintain its GA status, which is why it requires its GAR. 2801:1CA:E:1411:38A7:3642:A543:30DA (talk) 18:24, 16 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The article is currently under extensive rewriting and expansion in several sections. There is no need to talk about GAR as for now. Once that's done, then maybe. De Disney (talk) 06:34, 17 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@De Disney: Well, if you can improve the article, I will let you see if you can solve the problems mentioned, and update certain sections since some are somewhat short. I wish you luck. 152.200.176.43 (talk) 18:31, 17 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@De Disney: If there are any issues present in the article, please fix it so that it maintains its GA status. 152.200.176.43 (talk) 21:37, 26 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@De Disney: Are you or anyone else still working on this article? I note that there are still two orange banners that will need to be resolved, as well as some uncited statements. If no one is working on this, should this article go to WP:GAR? Z1720 (talk) 01:20, 27 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
