We are nominating this for featured list after quite a bit of work giving this list a through overhaul in sourcing and the prose, as well as bringing the tables into the same format used by similar FL's, List of accolades received by Inglourious Basterds and List of accolades received by Avatar. We look forward to any and all reviews and comments. Courcelles (talk) 00:34, 22 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  • British Independent Film Awards: discrepancy between the main list and the infobox.
  • Houston film critics society: results column is one cell. Should be three for consistency.

  • You're right on both points. Fixed them both. Courcelles (talk) 07:37, 22 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support Only a couple things from me. Other than that, a very nice list - meets all criteria. Jujutacular T · C 16:54, 22 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you! - JuneGloom07 Talk? 23:12, 22 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  • Infobox has "Awards & Nominations" no need for Nominations to be capitalised. I know (I know) it's not part of this FLC but I suggest it's fixed.
    • Done
  • Not convinced you need to wikilink United States.
    • Done
  • "highest per-screen average " what is this? I hazard a guess it's the number of people watching? It's certainly unclear to a non-expert.
    • Added a note defining the term. Couldn't figure out a way to work it into the prose, though. Courcelles (talk) 01:32, 29 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • "In total, the film has grossed over $40 million..." If it were me, I'd put a date on this, so "As of May 2010..." because already it's up to 48 million...
    • Done
  • "at critics circles" shouldn't that be "critics' circles"?
    • Done
  • "The Hurt Locker received three nominations .... The Hurt Locker received nine nominations.." reads pretty repetitively.
  • "the Best Director category" vs "the best director award" be consistent in your capitalisation.
    • Done
  • "Anthony Mackie]" spare ]
    • Done
  • I may have argued against myself in the past, but I think the award is more important than the date, so I'd put the current second column first.
  • Ref 15, spare period.
    • Done

I hope you don't mind if I cross these off as I go through them. I have a small problem with the second to last point. If we switch the columns the list will be consistent with List of accolades received by Precious, but not with the lists for Avatar, Inglourious Basterds, Ratatouille and Wall-E. Would the others need to be changed too? - JuneGloom07 Talk? 23:42, 26 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

June, it is not considered good wiki-etiquette to strike other editor's comments. Please put indented "done"'s below each resolved comment instead. Thanks, Dabomb87 (talk) 02:28, 27 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Ah, sorry about that, I wasn't sure if it was okay or not. Thanks. - JuneGloom07 Talk? 11:03, 27 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I think I agree with June, the order of the date of ceremony and the awards used here is more in line with similar FL's, although if you think it is best, of course it can be changed. Courcelles (talk) 01:32, 29 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I have no problems switching the columns, I just wanted to know if the other lists would need their columns switching too. I can do Inglourious while I'm there, but I'll leave the others to their respective main contributors. - JuneGloom07 Talk? 12:16, 30 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support - I would prefer to have the award column first, since that's what the list is sorted by. It might also be worthwhile to put in a key that says that the dates link to the specific ceremony, if applicable, as that's not immediately obvious. A good list, though, so those two points are up to you. --PresN 15:39, 8 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: I made a few reference tweaks, namely updating URLs. Only thing iffy that I notice is the date linking in the first column is inconsistent. I presume you're just linking the first ones. In that case February 13, 14, and 27 should be linked, as should January 7. Provisional support hinging on that being fixed. Wizardman Operation Big Bear 03:53, 10 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
