List of awards and nominations received by Kamal Haasan

This peer review discussion has been closed.
I've listed this article for peer review because I would like to nominate it for a FL. Thanks in advance! Commander _{(Ping Me)} 12:54, 12 June 2011 (UTC)

Found5dollar comments: Here are some general comments and thoughts to hopefully get this list further along:

• the caption "Kamal Haasan at an event organised by FICCI to felicitate him." I think you mean "to honor him," either way, that last part of the sentence really isn't needed.

• "In fact, Haasan is claimed to be..." it can not be a fact, if it is only claimed to be. to saw "in fact" it must be a hard and fast truth, not just a belief.

Y Removed that claim --Commander _{(Ping Me)} 10:50, 3 July 2011 (UTC)

• The next few sentences summing up his awards really do not seem to flow well. There has to be a better way to word all of this, perhaps condense it into just one sentence?

I've expanded the lead. Can you comment more about this. --Commander _{(Ping Me)} 10:50, 3 July 2011 (UTC)

• This article is crying out for a small section explaining who Kamal Haasan is and what flims he has been in.

Y Expanded lead --Commander _{(Ping Me)} 16:26, 30 June 2011 (UTC)

• Usually you should try not to wikilink section headings.

• According to this tool one of your references has a dead link. I did not check to see if each of your references states what it claims to.

• in the info box the total number of wins and nominations is not filled in.

This was just a quick review. please let me know if you have any questions about what i have suggested or pointed out.--Found5dollar (talk) 23:52, 23 June 2011 (UTC)

The actor has also won many other awards from various organisations. Is it necessary to inlude all those? I did not include those awards since finding sources for that was very difficult. --Commander _{(Ping Me)} 16:26, 30 June 2011 (UTC)

I have sorted out most of the issues that you pointed out. Please let me know what has to be done further. Commander _{(Ping Me)} 10:36, 3 July 2011 (UTC)

I am sorry, but i am incredably busy right now with real world work. when my job calms down some, i'll take another look at this for you.--Found5dollar (talk) 03:42, 4 July 2011 (UTC)

Biggest blunder, how is it that he has won 45 awards, but 21 nominations? — Legolas ^(talk2me) 05:51, 4 July 2011 (UTC)

Y Corrected. --Commander _{(Ping Me)} 06:14, 4 July 2011 (UTC)

It's a well known fact that most of the awards presented in India, even National Awards do not list out the nominees. The same applies for state awards too. Only filmfare awards give out the nominees-list, and Filmfare Awards South is listing out the nominees only after 2002. --Commander _{(Ping Me)} 06:04, 4 July 2011 (UTC)

You have a wrong conception. Even if NA and FF don't or do handout the noms, its still a nomination at the EOD. Hassan's NAs are first considered as a nomination, and then its him who receives the awards. — Legolas ^(talk2me) 10:20, 4 July 2011 (UTC)

No it's not a misconception. I actually corrected it after you pointed out. They never announce the list of nominees. --Commander _{(Ping Me)} 10:42, 4 July 2011 (UTC)

Comments from Legolas2186

• Lead fails WP:LEAD. It should be encompassing all the major points in the article. At present it talks about the win for major wards, and shounds quite bland. Things can be improved by adding a little sass. For eg, if Hassan went to win awards for Sadma, one or two lines describing what the film was about etc.

I've expanded the lead, by highlighting the major points of his career. --Commander _{(Ping Me)} 11:21, 6 July 2011 (UTC)

• Everything would benefit from a table.

Y Done --Commander _{(Ping Me)} 11:37, 5 July 2011 (UTC)

• Awards should be arranged alphabetically, for consistency and precision. Same in the infobox.

Y Done --Commander _{(Ping Me)} 10:41, 5 July 2011 (UTC)

• Tables should be of equal width, for visual pleasure for the readers. At present it appears pretty haphazard.

Y Done --Commander _{(Ping Me)} 07:25, 5 July 2011 (UTC)

• Check the colspan for the year of the awards and same range should be merged.

Y Done --Commander _{(Ping Me)} 10:41, 5 July 2011 (UTC)

• Some of the awards would benefit from a one line description.

Y Done --Commander _{(Ping Me)} 11:21, 5 July 2011 (UTC)

• Reference formatting really needs work. The Reflinks tool is what you have used, but a featured quality list should refrain from it and correction of the work and publisher parameters are needed. I saw the same problem in Chiranjeevi and in your failed nomination of Aishwarya.
• For references which appear like this: [28][24][25][26], you should use WP:CITEKILL.

Y Done --Commander _{(Ping Me)} 11:37, 5 July 2011 (UTC)

• The awards and nomination tabulation still doesn't match. You are supposed to include all recognitions also, as they are categorized as awards per FLC.

Y Done --Commander _{(Ping Me)} 10:41, 5 July 2011 (UTC)

• Lastly, en-dash and em-dash correction is needed. — Legolas ^(talk2me) 10:33, 4 July 2011 (UTC)

I have transformed every one-line descriptions to tables. I've not used dashes anymore. If you still find anything wrong please let me know. --Commander _{(Ping Me)} 11:49, 5 July 2011 (UTC)
