Marvel's The Avengers is the third-highest grossing film of all time and the highest grossing film of 2012. Due to the film's enormous popularity, the film's article and its sub-articles, including this list, are highly visible. The list itself is comprehensive, well organized, and well referenced and I believe its rating should reflect that. However, any comments that might further improve the list are welcomed. Thank you.--TriiipleThreat (talk) 13:22, 5 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

====Comments by Cowlibob====

For starters:

Lead

  • The film stars an ensemble cast of...
  • For each character put the surname of who plays them e.g. Nick Fury (Jackson)
  • include when film went on wide release, box office total, production budget, Rotten Tomatoes
    • Changed premiere date to US release date. Not sure what the other information has to do with a list of accolades. That level of technical information is better suited on the main article.--TriiipleThreat (talk)
I would include those details to inform the reader what kind of film it is i.e. is it a big budget blockbuster or a small indie film? We can't assume that everyone viewing the article went to the main article first. Rotten Tomatoes is optional though. Cowlibob (talk) 20:40, 15 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
 Done.--TriiipleThreat (talk) 21:05, 15 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Infobox

  • awards & nominations -> accolades, total number of wins and... --> total number of awards and...
    • Not exactly sure what you mean here. Please be more specific.--TriiipleThreat (talk) 15:30, 15 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Change the words "awards & nominations" to "accolades" and change the words "total number of wins and nominations" to "total number of awards and nominations" Cowlibob (talk) 20:40, 15 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
 Done.--TriiipleThreat (talk) 20:47, 15 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Table

  • Add Detroit film critics award nom, Motion Picture Sound Editor award nom, National film society nom, Online film & television noms, Phoenix film critics noms, SFX awards, Bradbury award nom, St. Louis and World Stunt awards.
    •  Done. Except for National Film Society and SFX awards. NFS doesn't appear to be a notable award. This is the ceremony for the National Film Society and I can't find a suitable source for the SFX award. Also the Motion Picture Sound Editor (Golden Reel) nomination was already present.--TriiipleThreat (talk) 20:38, 15 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Good catch on that, I had misread that as this National Society of Film Critics which have been giving out awards since the 60s. SFX is minor enough to not be included, I guess. Cowlibob (talk) 21:05, 15 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Recipient --> Recipient(s) and nominee(s), This column is sortable so all nominees should be wikilinked at every occasion leaving red links for people who have won or been nominated for a notable award.
  • Add sorting for recipient column so that it sorts by surname
    • Do you mean the recipient should be listed last name first (e.g. Johansson, Scarlett)?--TriiipleThreat (talk) 21:30, 15 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
No, you should use the sort template e.g. Scarlett Johansson (see my edit to see the code) so that when someone sorts the list by alphabetical order the recipient is sorted by their surname. You only have to do it for the first recipient of each accolade. Cowlibob (talk) 21:45, 15 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
 Done.--TriiipleThreat (talk) 11:56, 16 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Wikilink the film itself as well in the table. Cowlibob (talk) 17:39, 16 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
 Done.--TriiipleThreat (talk) 14:07, 17 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

References

  • MTV News, BBC News, Deadline.com shouldn't have italics.Cowlibob (talk) 10:48, 13 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    •  Done.--TriiipleThreat (talk) 21:34, 15 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
      • Need source for People's Choice Awards wins, VES wins. You can avoid needing to use an archive for these sites which were always going to change by using these alternates: for Annie awards [[2]] and for Oscars [[3]] Cowlibob (talk) 17:39, 16 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support Made changes to lead. Added refs for the plot and cast. Added scopes rows and cols to the table. Formatted the refs. Good job. Cowlibob (talk) 20:07, 17 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comments by Lady Lotus[edit]

In tables you can link more than once if it's useful which it is in a sortable table. Cowlibob (talk) 15:47, 26 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Can the infobox image be something other than Downey? I first thought it was his awards page, so something of the cast maybe? Or film poster?
    • The rationale for Downey's image is explained in the caption and the film poster is WP:NFC, so no.--TriiipleThreat (talk) 20:37, 25 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

That's all I really got, so fix that and I'll support. Good job Triiiple :) LADY LOTUS • TALK 20:31, 25 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment: Title should be standardized between this article and the main The Avengers article. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 15:50, 14 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: I tried hard to find as many errors as possible: I was losing heart in my struggle until I got to the refs and finally found something to comment on: FN17 has an inconsistent date format. That's it, nothing else to gripe about... – SchroCat (talk) 17:47, 22 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Support. Nice piece of work, and happy to support. Cheers – SchroCat (talk) 18:29, 22 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Support
  • I was going to do the whole comments-then-support-once-fixed thing, but what I found was so minor I'm just going to support anyway.
  • "Marvel's The Avengers [...] more commonly known as The Avengers" - comma before "more"
  • "released theatrically in the United States on May 4, 2012 and" - comma after "2012"
  • "Ray Bradbury Award for Outstanding Dramatic Presentation" is not a Nebula Award category- it's presented at the same ceremony as the Nebula Awards, but it's its own separate award
  • References: maybe link Roger Ebert in ref 2, link Huffington Post in ref 7, and the publisher for ref 30 is "World Science Fiction Society", not "The Hugo Awards"
