I am nominating this for featured list because I believe this article meets the criteria, and I modeled this article like FL List of accolades received by 127 Hours. Thanks. Guy546(Talk) 20:14, 11 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comments
  • Be consistent with the name of each award ceremony (83rd Academy Awards, but then just Art Directors Guild Awards?)
  • Opening sentence is a bit long, and could easily be split into two (move actors to second sentence)
  • No need to wikilink Ireland
  • "It has appeared in more than a twenty movie reviewers'..." Remove bolded
  • "The King's Speech has received various awards and nominations in different categories, including art direction, score, screenplay, cinematography, costumes, directing, acting, and the film itself" This sentence doesn't quite make sense. Perhaps move last part to a new sentence, such as "In addition, the film itself has been recognized"?
  • Done: split sentence with semi-colon, which avoids an overly short sentence. - SchroCat (^ • @) 22:46, 4 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Last sentence of lead should say how many total awards and noms it received (78 and 217)
  • "Awards and nominations" -> Accolades (consistency with article title)
  • I think this is done, but please let me know if not. - SchroCat (^ • @) 22:46, 4 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • You should switch around the category and recipient boxes (just a personal preference thing)
  • Use consistent publishers for refs (compare www.guardian.co.uk/film/filmblog to The Guardian for example) Ruby 2010/2013 21:33, 11 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I don't think some of the ref titles need to be in all caps, even if they are in the original source. Also, the "Category" and "Recipient" fields do need to be flipped (category first) as Ruby pointed out, as that is common in most other accolades articles and makes it easier to read.

Also one dablink: [2] and 5 dead links: [3] Glimmer721 talk 03:23, 18 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Dablink sorted, deadlinks still there... - SchroCat (^ • @) 22:58, 4 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Deadlinks now sorrted too. - SchroCat (^ • @) 13:37, 5 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • "Category" and "Recipient" fields now done - SchroCat (^ • @) 14:47, 5 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • References now no longer in caps. - SchroCat (^ • @) 16:38, 5 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Resolved comments from Giants2008 (Talk) 20:10, 5 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Comments –
  • Why is "Box" capitalized in "UK Box office"? Do they do that in Britain?
  • "It has appeared in more than twenty movie reviewers' Top Ten lists for the best movies of the year." Which year? 2010? If so, I'd suggest that that be indicated, especially since they'll all have their 2011 lists out soon enough, and we don't want anyone to be confused when reading the sentence.
  • Minor point, but can "Nominations" be de-capitalized in "Awards & Nominations" in the infobox? Even infoboxes should be in proper MoS form.
  • Do we have a full first name available for the author of the first two references? Might as well ask while I'm here. Giants2008 (Talk) 02:23, 19 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    • Oppose – None of my comments have been addressed, and the vast majority of the other reviewers' comments haven't been touched either. I still see a bunch of all caps in the references, to name one example. If reviewers' comments aren't responded to, I don't think this should be promoted.

  • Not my article, but a drive-by tidy-up on these points while I wait for mine to come under the microscope. - SchroCat (^ • @) 22:34, 4 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comments

  • Instead of having the refs next to the name of the award, I think it would be better if they were placed in a separate column at the end of the table
  • Table does not comply with WP:ACESS, you need to add row and colscopes to the table. See MOS:DTT for how to rectify this.
  • ref 3 needs to include the authors
    • Done.
  • ref 20 the hyphen should be an dash
    • Done.
  • ref 27 need author and date of publicaton
    • Done.
  • ref 31 needs date of publication
    • Already done?
  • ref 49 need an author

NapHit (talk) 18:11, 22 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Still a few comments that have not been addressed, especially the access one, so I'm going to oppose until those are fixed. NapHit (talk) 22:50, 26 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Ref 60 is dead now. Glimmer721 talk 19:51, 26 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Never mind, I fixed it. Support. Glimmer721 talk 19:54, 26 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose per NapHit. Accessibility is important. Goodraise 22:48, 28 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
