I present to you yet another film accolades list. This time round, I created it entirely from scratch and worked on it off Wiki until I was happy that it met the criteria. I was not aware that the film had received as many awards and nominations that it has, as the table in the film's article was (very) incomplete. I look forward, as always, to your comments. - JuneGloom07 Talk? 00:32, 18 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment—no dab links, no dead external links. Ucucha 06:33, 18 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support. I gave it a copy edit, made a few minor fixes in the refs, but nothing major. Although my FL experience is limited, as far as I can see, this meets the criteria. Excellent work. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 22:40, 21 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for your help & support. - JuneGloom07 Talk? 22:42, 21 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support. I updated the links to reference 5 and 8 so they point to non-redirecting links. I corrected the win count for one award in the infobox. I found no other problems. From what I can tell it meets all the criteria for a featured list. Great work. --Dan Dassow (talk) 21:59, 22 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

*Comments
Ref 42; the USC Scripter Award cannot be the publisher.
Don't pipe away the end of Broadcast Film Critics Association in the table.
"An Education is a 2009 coming-of-age drama film directed by Lone Scherfig and written by Nick Hornby. It is based on the memoirs of the same name by British journalist Lynn Barber." We need sources for all of this, including describing it as "coming of age".
"The film received three Academy Award nominations, but failed to win any while, at" Check your commas. That last one needs to be somewhere else.
"An Education won Best Foreign Film at the Independent Spirit Awards and went on to win Best Film at both the Sundance Film and Mill Valley Film Festivals." This sentence doesn't work at all since the Independent Spirit Awards were the last of those three chronologically.
"The film's music, costume, hair and make-up" Do 'hair and make-up' go together as one clause? If not, you need an extra comma. If so, you need an extra 'and'.

Fixed all (I hope). - JuneGloom07 Talk? 23:43, 24 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comments
  • "make up" or "make-up", just be internally consistent.
  • On my screen (1050px wide), some dates wrap to two lines, seems a shame...
  • Are you sure those IMDB references are reliable? Many times the reliability of IMDB has been called into question.

Fixed the make-up issue. Not sure what I can do about the dates, I might need to go and have a play with the table (or ask an expert). IMDb is not being used as the source, it's just the publisher of Box Office Mojo. - JuneGloom07 Talk? 18:06, 26 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Courcelles has added a table of contents to give the table more space. Do the dates look better? - JuneGloom07 Talk? 10:44, 28 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
