  • Reviewed: Xylaria longipes
  • Comment: For the Star Trek 50th anniversary on September 8th.

5x expanded by Miyagawa (talk). Self-nominated at 18:02, 15 August 2016 (UTC).

  • Just out of curiosity, are you planning to add any more to this article? I would have thought with a resume like that the article could be a little more substantial. If you are planning to add more, we could hold this over for a few days. Gatoclass (talk) 18:40, 15 August 2016 (UTC)
  • I'd have thought so too - sadly though, most of the mentions are quite brief. I did manage to find some further information on her work on Evan Almighty. Considering the stuff she's worked on, it'd make a fantastic autobiography. Miyagawa (talk) 21:48, 15 August 2016 (UTC)


General: Article is new enough and long enough
Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems

Hook eligibility:

  • Cited: No - no
  • Interesting: Unknown
QPQ: Done.

Overall: The hook and article state that she was nominated for "Best Art Direction" but in fact all her nominations have been for set decoration. Gatoclass (talk) 11:30, 16 August 2016 (UTC)

  • Set decoration falls under Best Art Direction at the Academy Awards. Miyagawa (talk) 14:13, 16 August 2016 (UTC)
Yes Miyagawa, I can see that, and admittedly that might create a bit of a condundrum with regard to the hook, but art direction and set decoration are clearly two different things and both the article and hook fail to clarify that all her nominations were in the subcategory of set decoration. Gatoclass (talk) 15:31, 16 August 2016 (UTC)
@Gatoclass: How about:
Alt1 ... that the set design work of Linda DeScenna was nominated for an Academy Award in Best Art Direction on five occasions, for Star Trek: The Motion Picture, Blade Runner, The Color Purple, Rain Man and Toys? Miyagawa (talk) 12:53, 20 August 2016 (UTC)
Miyagawa, "as part of" is a bit hard to parse, how about just "in", as in "... that the set design work of Linda DeScenna was nominated for an Academy Award in Best Art Direction on five occasions ... ?" Gatoclass (talk) 13:09, 20 August 2016 (UTC)
That works for me, I've modified Alt1. Miyagawa (talk) 15:54, 20 August 2016 (UTC)
  • All issues resolved. ALT1 verified. Gatoclass (talk) 12:50, 21 August 2016 (UTC)
