Nominator(s): Ruby2010 comment! 03:50, 20 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I am nominating this for featured list because I feel it meets the criteria. For the most part, I've attempted to double source the awards using one primary and one secondary citation (some were difficult to find one RS, let alone two). Hope everyone enjoys reading about the second best film of 2003! Ruby2010 comment! 03:50, 20 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comments
  • Peter should be linked in the photo caption
  • Instead of using the film a lot, trying referring to it by its title or the movie or the adaption
  • Since you're focusing on the film's US box office, in the first sentence you should mentioned that it is an American movie
  • Funny to think the film is indeed American, seeing as how the cast in British/Australian! Ruby2010 comment! 21:12, 21 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • The b.o. numbers are too specific.
  • Would you suggest I round the figures? I don't want to give inaccurate data Ruby2010 comment! 21:12, 21 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • "Since then, the film grossed a total US box office gross of USD $93,927,920," needs some re-wording
  • "with an approval rating of 85 percent on the review aggregator" better off without the the imo
  • I think cinematography would be better off unlinked
  • Unlink film journal in ref 2 per overlink
  • Same for 27
  • Ditto for ref 34
  • And also 46
  • Ref 33 needs to be replaced as IMDb is not an RS
  • And 36
  • Same for 26
  • And 44
  • And 53
  • Unlink Variety in ref 58
  • Also for 64
  • Unlink LA Times in 46 per overlink
  • Why is NBoRoMP cited as the author of the press release but not also the publisher?
  • It's because of the press release cite template (the publisher is always listed first, as with ref 61) Ruby2010 comment! 21:22, 21 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Same for 61
  • Unlink NBoR in ref 49
  • Is there any other source you could use besides E! Online (ref 55) because I'm not aware of it being a RS

Crystal Clear x3 04:59, 21 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • One more thing: NYTimes Company should not be added in the 'general references' since all the other source do not also cite publishers Crystal Clear x3 05:03, 21 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Support after some minor tweaks. Another great FL contribution from Ruby. Crystal Clear x3 00:01, 22 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comments –
  • "directed by Peter Weir. Weir...". The repetition from one sentence to another isn't optimal. It isn't the most artful solution, but "He" is always an option for after the period.
  • "the David Lean Award for Achievement in Directing: Weir's direction received...". Is the colon meant to be a period? Feels like it the way this is structured.
  • I don't see a colon (..."Master and Commander received eight nominations, ultimately winning in four of them, including the David Lean Award for Achievement in Directing. Weir's direction received a total of eleven nominations, while he and Collee's screenwriting earned four.") is all I see. Ruby2010 comment! 04:22, 3 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Why does the caption read "Peter Weir received over fifteen nominations for his direction of Master and Commander" when the lead gives his number of directing noms as eleven? Even if the screenwriting is included, that would only equal fifteen.
  • Also in the infobox, I count 22 wins, not 23. Worth a double-check.
  • While I'm talking about the infobox, can we make "Awards & Nominations" into "Awards & nominations"? The last word has no reason to be capitalized.
  • Check the Category column of the table for places with hyphens that should instead be en dashes; I see quite a few of them.

Comments from Legolas2186
  • directed by Peter Weir. Weir and screenwriter --> The consecutive Weirs look weird. Try to rephrase that part.
  • Russell Crowe and Paul Bettany starred among a large ensemble cast --> Russell Crowe and Paul Bettany starred in the film, alongside a large ensemble cast
  • falling into second place behind Elf --> That's actually wrong since that was the movie's debut week so it cannot exactly fall into second place.
  • Sorry, don't quite understand you here. Elf was on its second week, but still placed first over Master and Commander. Unless you mean something else? Ruby2010 comment! 04:39, 3 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    • What I mean is that Master & Commander debuted on the box office list at number two, so saying that it fell behind Elf is wrong, since that was its debut week. — Legolas (talk2me) 07:04, 4 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Ah, I see. Fixed it to say the film debuted in second place. Thanks, Ruby2010 comment! 15:38, 4 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • USD $93.9 million --> phrases like this make me wonder about their expansion, or readability. For eg: if I expand it, it will read United States dollar dollar 93.9 million. I would suggest a simple $93.9 million would suffice, with only one wikilink.
  • Add the word website before Rotten Tomatoes as review aggregators are of different kind.
  • Performances by the cast were also recognized --> Second consecutive sentence to use the word recognition in verb form, try changing it to honor or something.
  • Have a summation line at the end of the lead sayinng how many awards the film won from how many nominations.
  • Done (added "Overall, the film won twenty awards out of eight nominations") Ruby2010 comment! 04:39, 3 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Also the last line of the lead needs a rephrasing. At present its pretty vague with "other media outlets".
  • Note sure to make this less "vague". Changed media outlets to simply "media" (?) Ruby2010 comment! 04:39, 3 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • When you are using WP:CITEKILL like reference 15, please have a heading line to indicate what are the references about.
  • Reference 33 needs a language parameter
  • Reference titles need en-dash, check throughout. This applies to the award category names too.

These are some concerns I have. — Legolas (talk2me) 11:44, 2 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks very much for the look-over. Ruby2010 comment! 04:39, 3 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Reference 43, what is happening with the directing?
  • You mean the direction to IMDb? The primary website for the actual award tells visitors to see the winners at IMDb. I thought the ref formatting I provided seemed the best way to indicate this (with Crystal's apparent agreement). Ruby2010 comment! 04:39, 3 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • I'm not exactly sure how reliable it would be if the source is asking us to look over to IMDB.
  • Well it's the direct website for the Motion Picture Sound Editors, so the site is reliable. It looks like they're under construction, and are using IMDb until the website is finished. That's a good indicator of how reliable IMDb is in this case, if I ever saw one. Thanks, Ruby2010 comment! 14:13, 6 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Have you archived the award lists in general? They tend to go red pretty fast. — Legolas (talk2me) 11:44, 5 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Just an update: am working on archiving, and will continue in coming days. Thanks, Ruby2010 comment! 15:09, 8 August 2011 (UTC) All done (with one or two exceptions that were unable or not allowed to be archived, like Empire Online). Thanks, Ruby2010 comment! 17:58, 8 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I think the list is of fine quality now, and passes FLC? criterias. I am happy to support it. — Legolas (talk2me) 11:55, 25 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comments
  • Quick question, what makes it an "American adventure film"? It has a multinational cast, multinational screening etc, is it solely funded by an American studio? It is set in Napoleonic times..
  • As funny as it sounds, I've only been able to find sources that call it an American film, probably because of the American studios. Do you think I should just remove the film's nationality altogether? Ruby2010 comment! 19:38, 4 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • "place behind Elf.[5][6] Since then, the film reached a US box o" reiterate M&C as you've mentioned Elf in the meantime.
  • "twenty awards out of eighty nominations" - infobox says 22/80
  • Can we make the date of ceremony col a bit wider so it doesn't span two rows?
  • New Zealand Herald is The New Zealand Herald.
  • IMDB is not considered a WP:RS.
  • I'll just repeat what I told the other two editors above: In this case, the direct website said to use IMDb as a source. I indicated this in the refs (see #43) Ruby2010 comment! 19:38, 4 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • Support - Looks great, I see no further problems preventing FL status. Good job. DrNegative (talk) 20:42, 14 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Hmmm I am surprised all the prior reviewers missed this, but the dates in "date of ceremony" column are not consistent; some are ymd, some dmy, etc, some have commas some don't, etc. They should all be consistent. PumpkinSky talk 00:24, 23 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment. I was just wondering why the dates in the table are dmy, but the dates in the references (and lead) aren't in the same format? - JuneGloom Talk 15:12, 24 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I recently converted all the table dates to DMY, but forgot to check the lead. Thanks for catching it. Ruby2010 comment! 15:53, 24 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
