Post FAC1 review[edit]

There is too much bio detail in places...suggest cutting "He had studied at Cornell University, graduating in 1953. After serving as a United States Air Force officer in the Korean War, he maintained a studio in Madrid where he attended the Real Academia de Bellas Artes de San Fernando before eventually moving to California."

removed that a while ago I think. Paleface Jack (talk) 19:46, 18 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

After the release of Troika, Hobbs continued to work in the film industry, developing three additional films throughout the 1970s. A year after its release, Hobbs was approached by pornographic film producer Habib Afif Carouba with the proposition that he would finance the director's next film with the stipulation that it would be a porn film. This is very confused:

  • continued to work in the film industry why do e say this...the reader would have assumed otherwise, its not said earlier that it was his
  • developing three additional films throughout the 1970s - so he stopped making films on 31 dec 1979. And re "throughout" - they were all being made concurrently
  • with the proposition that he would finance the director's next film with the stipulation that it would be a porn film - this is a jumbled mess. "Offering him finance to direct" or something.
  • It would help if the Fredric Hobbs bio didn't have big "unreferenced" banner above it. Ceoil (talk) 23:58, 30 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
