• Featured list candidates/List of accolades received by Slumdog Millionaire/archive1

Nominator(s): Birdienest81 (talk) 20:20, 29 April 2021 (UTC)

Slumdog Millionaire is a 2008 British romantic drama film directed by Danny Boyle and written by Simon Beaufoy. It stars Dev Patel, Freida Pinto, Madhur Mittal, Anil Kapoor, and Irrfan Khan. Based Vikas Swarup's 2005 novel Q & A, the film focuses on an 18-year old game show contestant named Jamal Malik (Patel). After being accused of cheating on Kaun Banega Crorepati, an Indian version of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?, he recounts to the police how events in his life story enabled him to answer every question correctly. The film won eight Academy Awards including Best Picture at the 2009 ceremony. This is my fourth film accolades list to be nominated for featured list status, and I largely based the format off of the accolades lists for The Artist, The Big Short (film), and 1917 which were promoted in October 2015, January 2021, and November 2020, respectively. will gladly accept your comments to improve this list.

Resolved comments from RunningTiger123 (talk) 19:13, 27 May 2021 (UTC)

;Comments Use Template:Infobox awards list for the infobox. Done: Switched to said template for infobox. "Anil Kapoorand Irrfan Khan" → "Anil Kapoorand, and Irrfan Khan" Done: Added a comma and the word "and" between Kapoorand and Khan. "Based Vikas Swarup's" → "Based on Vikas Swarup's" Done: Added on between based and Vikas. "Fox Searchlight gave the film [...] before being given a wide release" – the subject of the sentence changes from the studio to the film. I think the easiest way to fix this is by splitting the sentence. Done: Split the sentence into two accordingly. "Rahman's score, Mantle's cinematography, and Dicken's editing" – you haven't introduced these people in the lead yet, so you need to use their full names. Done: Introduced all three personnel in the lead paragraph with their full names and roles. This is similar to the film accolades list for La La Land, "includeing" → "including" Done: Corrected spelling. "the National Board of Review named it the Best Film" – specify the year (the current wording implies it was the best film ever, which isn't right) Done: Added the year for which the award was given to. EDITED: Add header Done: Added table caption to the top of the table. The table does not sort dates correctly – it should sort them in chronological order automatically, so I'm not sure what the issue is here. (Maybe using "March 2009" without any day is throwing it off; see Help:Sorting#Date sorting problems.) At any rate, it needs to be fixed. Done: PresN fixed the date sorting problem. Nominees in quotes do not sort correctly; you'll need to specify data-sort-value for those cells. Done: Added sort template to nominees listed in quotes. "Jai Ho" should be in quotes for the Academy Award for Best Original Song. Done: Added quotation marks around the title of said song. Anthony Dod Mantle should sort by "Dod Mantle", not "Mantle". Done: Changed "Mantle" to "Dod" in sort field since there is no other nominee that has a surname that begins with a "D". Tom Sayers is sorting incorrectly, and the wikilink is to an article about a different person and should be removed. Done: Redirected Tom Sayers to Tom Sayers (sound editor) and fixed sorting for that person. "A. R. Rahman" should be written consistently (i.e. don't write "A.R. Rahman" instead) Done: Corrected Rahman's name to "A. R. Rahman" Similarly, "P.A. Deepak" → "P. A. Deepak" Done: Corrected to latter. Reference 52 should be moved to the References column Done: Moved said reference into proper column. — RunningTiger123 (talk) 00:10, 30 April 2021 (UTC) @RunningTiger123: I've addressed all the comments and made the necessary corrections. --Birdienest81 (talk) 08:45, 27 May 2021 (UTC)

Comments

• Endorse all of the above plus.....
• It is a British film, so based on my interpretation of WP:TIES the article should use British English. Therefore "Fox Searchlight gave the film a limited release in ten theaters" should be "Fox Searchlight gave the film a limited release in ten cinemas" (we don't call a place where movies are shown a theatre in UK English)

• Done: Changed theaters into cinemas.

• Entries in the recipient column which start with a " should sort as if the " isn't there i.e. Jai Ho should sort under J

• Done: Added sort template so that nominees that have quotations are sorted by the actually name.

• Suttirat Anne Larlarb does not sort correctly

• Done: Fixed sorting by adding sorting template using the surname Larlarb.

• Think that's it from me -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 07:19, 30 April 2021 (UTC)

Accessibility review (WP:DTAB)

• Tables need a caption: add |+ your table caption to the top, or if the caption would duplicate a nearby section header, you can make it |+ {{sronly|your table caption}} instead so that it only shows up for screen reader software. --PresN 22:54, 2 May 2021 (UTC)

• Done: Added table caption accordingly.

Source review – Pass

Will do soon. Aza24 (talk) 03:35, 11 May 2021 (UTC)

Formatting

• Throughout the linking of publishers/works is inconsistent
  • For example, you link European Film Academy and Hollywood Foreign Press Association but not Recording Academy or Variety?

• Done: Linked publishers and works by their first mention accordingly.

• A bit confused about ref 2, what's all this "Reuters. uk.reuters.com. Thomson Reuters"

• Done: Linked publishers and works by their first mention accordingly.

• Amazon.com seems a bit uncalled for in ref 7

• Done: I removed publishers since they are unnecessary.

• I'm assuming there's no web link for "Oscar Surprises Few, Far Between"?

• I accessed the article via Newspapers.com

• refs 16 and 17 are missing authors
• ref 31 seems to not have the full first name of the author
• why "Variety. Reed Business Information" for ref 52 but not the other variety refs?

• Done: Linked publishers and works by their first mention accordingly.

Reliability

• There are some questionable sources, but they seem to be the websites of their respective awards, so no worries there.

Verifiability

• ref 3 link is broken

• Fixed: Replaced Reuters link with Variety one.

• ref 39 link is not working
• ref 52 not working
• ref 56 broken
• I'm guessing there are other refs broken—maybe archive them all? Aza24 (talk) 04:23, 11 May 2021 (UTC)

NOTE: My internet is broken down at the house I stay most often is down and is currently ongoing repairs. I am still working to address your comments slowly. Also, it is my birthday this weekend, and may be sidelined a bit, but I intend to get this up to FL standards.

--Birdienest81 (talk) 08:41, 18 May 2021 (UTC)

No rush at all, from your history of first-class FLs, I have no doubt that you'll get around to this when you can. Take all the time you need. Aza24 (talk) 22:14, 19 May 2021 (UTC)

@Aza24:: Could you do a re-review of the sources since I added new sources resulting in changes?

--Birdienest81 (talk) 08:18, 10 June 2021 (UTC)

Apologies, I don't think your original ping worked. Have just looked now, looks great. Pass for source review. Aza24 (talk) 01:57, 18 June 2021 (UTC)

Comments from HAL

• This is really minor, but there is a subtle change in meaning when you use "an" instead of "the" in Kaun Banega Crorepati, an Indian version of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? "an" suggests it is one of many, but Kaun Banega Crorepati is the official version.
• I wouldn't link Slumdog Millionaire again in the fourth paragraph of the lede.

That's all I got. Solid work as usual. ~ HAL333 16:37, 19 June 2021 (UTC)

• @HAL333: I made both corrections based on your comments. Thanks.
