Will Smith is an American actor who is best known for his title role in television sitcom The Fresh Prince of Bel Air, Marine Corps. pilot in science fiction film Independence Day (1996), and Agent J in the Men in Black film series. As always, I welcome constructive comments on how to improve the list. Cowlibob (talk) 16:26, 16 January 2017 (UTC)

Comments from The Rambling Man

Comments

• " he garnered a nomination for" why not just "he was nominated for"?
• Any reason why Collateral Damage isn't noted, after all Smith's been nominated for the Outstanding Actor in a Motion Picture award?

Otherwise, excellent. The Rambling Man (talk) 12:02, 25 January 2017 (UTC)

@The Rambling Man: Thanks for the comments. I have changed the sentence. Collateral Damage would properly be a better name for the shockingly bad film Collateral Beauty that he starred in. I have only mentioned Oscar or Golden Globe nominations. Cowlibob (talk) 13:11, 28 January 2017 (UTC)

Resolved comments from SNUGGUMS

Since the opening sentence describes Smith as a producer, I'd at least note how he executive produced some episodes on The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air If talking about his Golden Globe nominations, then I don't know why his nomination for The Pursuit of Happyness was left out "The film received poor reviews but became his eighth consecutive to gross over $100 million"...... earnings have nothing to do with reviews, so maybe go with "While the film received poor reviews, it became his eighth consecutive to gross over $100 million" "he appeared in action film Suicide Squad which grossed over $745 million at the worldwide box office despite receiving a generally negative reception"..... same as before, and "receiving a generally negative reception" reads awkwardly Per consensus here, it's best to change "1990–96" to "1990–1996" and "2003–07" to "2003–2007"; more complete and professional Overall, looking pretty good. Snuggums (talk / edits) 14:41, 25 January 2017 (UTC) @SNUGGUMS: Thanks for the review. Have made relevant fixes, I think. Cowlibob (talk) 12:55, 28 January 2017 (UTC)

I now support following the article's improvements. Snuggums (talk / edits) 15:16, 28 January 2017 (UTC)

Comments from Ssven2

• "He also executively produced 24 episodes of the series" — Can be rephrased as "He also served as an executive producer for 24 episodes of the series" as the former seems a bit off.
• "The following year, he appeared in action film" — Isn't it "The following year, he appeared in the action film"?
• BTW, Reference number #72 is missing an accessdate.

Other than this, I find the list quite good. I will support as soon as the above mentioned comments are resolved.  — Ssven2 ^{Looking at you, kid} 09:14, 20 February 2017 (UTC)

I now support this list.  — Ssven2 ^{Looking at you, kid} 03:46, 22 February 2017 (UTC)

• Support. This list looks great. I can't find any real problem with it. Only thing is that i'm used to seeing the film table first, then the television table. But that does not really matter. Another thing is that lead could be expanded a bit. - AffeL (talk) 14:37, 22 February 2017 (UTC)
