Mel Gibson's list of film and television credits, which includes some of my favorites. After completing the article extensively from top to bottom, I'm now confident that this deserves the featured list status. Have at it! Bluesphere 17:34, 25 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

This is a comment.
Comments from Jimknut
  • "Film" (or "films") appears (by my count) 18 times in the introduction. This is a filmography so I think people reading this should know you're talking about films.  Done
  • "Gibson subsequently took a ten-year hiatus from filmmaking during which time he landed roles in the films Edge of Darkness (2010), Machete Kills (2013), The Expendables 3 (2014), and Blood Father (2016)." — This sentence is contradictory. How can he have made films during a hiatus from filmmaking? Do you mean a hiatus from directing films?  Done
  • For The Chain Reaction Gibson's role is listed as "—". However allmovie.com lists him as "mechanic". Done
  • Both the Films and TV lists have columns titled "Role". However, the lists also contain Gibson's credits as director, producer, and writer. Hence the top caption of these lists should read "Film credits of Gibson" and "TV credits of Gibson" rather than, respectively, "Film roles of Gibson" and "TV roles of Gibson". Done
  • Check marks look cheesy. I suggest replacing them with {{yes}}. This looks much better as it puts the word "Yes" centered against a green background (hence the defining ""style="text-align:center;"

Support — Looks good. Jimknut (talk) 18:23, 3 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Avoid the bold link.  Done
  • Comma after AO.  Done
  • " (1976-1983)" en-dash for date ranges.  Done
  • "starred" or "starring" four times in the opening lead paragraph is a bit dull.  Done
  • Sortable table so anything that's linked needs to be linked every time e.g. Martin Riggs, because it's uncertain, after sorting, whether the linked version will appear first.  Done
  • Tables need row and col scopes to comply with MOS:DTT.  Done
  • 1977-1984 etc, en-dash please.  Done
  • Check ref titles too for WP:DASH non-compliances.  Done

@The Rambling Man: Thanks for your comments, Ramble – I've essentially addressed all of these concerns. How's it looking now? Bluesphere 07:19, 13 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Comments from Littlecarmen
  • Since Gibson is American, dates should be formatted accordingly, for example May 20, 2017 instead of 20 May 2017.  Done
  • "having appeared in his breakthrough role in George Miller's dystopian action Mad Max" Shouldn't there be a "film" after "action"?
  • You need to add some sort-templates to the year column. For example, if you sort the table by year, Air America is listed above Bird on a Wire even though it was released three months later.
  • Since he doesn't have any writing credits in TV, I think the column should be removed from that table. Done
  • Other than that, I think this is a very good filmography. I like the lead and the list itself is comprehensive, well organised and easy to navigate. Littlecarmen (talk) 11:16, 20 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • @Littlecarmen: Thank you for your comments. About the second concern, one of the reviewers, Jimknut, told me that putting "film" is unnecessary since this is a filmography list and readers will get the idea; and about the third concern, I sorted the table myself and saw Air America listed below Bird on a Wire. Should I still add the sort template, though? Btw, I'm glad you like the prose section. :) Bluesphere 12:37, 20 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • I just sorted the table again and it shows up correctly now so I don't know what happened before. I'll support the nomination now. I also have an FL nomination going right now here so I'd be grateful if you could take a look at it. Littlecarmen (talk) 14:25, 20 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

PresN, this looks good to go, what do you think? The Rambling Man (talk) 20:19, 24 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, source check required... The Rambling Man (talk) 20:20, 24 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Source review passed, promoting. --PresN 21:24, 24 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
