Featured list candidates/Robert Downey, Jr. filmography/archive1

Nominator(s): LADY LOTUS • TALK 20:23, 25 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I am nominating this for featured list because I think it is a good representation of his extensive and still growing career LADY LOTUS • TALK 20:23, 25 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Support very well-written and comprehensive, deserves to be FL. All my concerns were addressed during peer review. Downey himself would be quite proud :D! Snuggums (talk / edits) 05:28, 7 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Aww thanks Snuggums!!! LADY LOTUS • TALK 11:53, 7 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  - My pleasure :) Snuggums (talk / edits) 12:43, 7 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Support. Well-sourced and well-written list and it meets the criteria. --Carioca (talk) 20:39, 18 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Support Excellent prose in the lead section. A deserving candidate for FL status.--Skr15081997 (talk) 03:07, 20 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@Crisco 1492: Whatcha say about promoting this? :) LADY LOTUS • TALK 16:44, 23 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Perhaps later today. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 22:39, 23 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

There's also Hahc21, SchroCat, Giants2008, and NapHit who could promote it as well. Snuggums (talk / edits) 22:43, 23 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment from me, before promotion (well, after Cowlibob finishes reviewing): can we include a bit more variation? You use "appear" or a version of that word at least 8 times in the lead, and much of it reads as proseline (prosified lists). Better flow would be nice. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 09:24, 25 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I did a bit of tweaking. Snuggums (talk / edits) 03:00, 26 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Should be better now LADY LOTUS • TALK 16:03, 27 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Resolved comments from Cowlibob (talk) 18:34, 27 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Good job overall. Slim pickings on this FLC.

Add a citation for him being considered as part of the "Brat Pack".

Thanks Snuggums :) LADY LOTUS • TALK 16:03, 27 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Why is "Good Night, and Good Luck" mentioned in the lead in terms of how many awards it won/ was nominated for, as none of them were for Downey's performance? Cowlibob (talk) 08:41, 25 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I'll let Lady Lotus address this point, but will mention that Downey did not receive any nominations/awards for this one Snuggums (talk / edits) 03:15, 26 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

It sounded good at the time with how many awards the film had won but I see your point so I removed it :) LADY LOTUS • TALK 15:58, 27 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

This is also an awkward sentence. "The following year, he appeared in the animated science fiction thriller film A Scanner Darkly and Zodiac as Paul Avery in 2007." Could be misconstrued that he played Paul Avery in both of those films in 2007. The film bit after thriller is also not needed.

I reworded it to be "The following year, he appeared in the animated science fiction film A Scanner Darkly and as Paul Avery in the 2007 film Zodiac", if that's still awkward let me know LADY LOTUS • TALK 15:58, 27 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The Ally McBeal role and Family Guy role could also be moved so they are chronological as they seem out of place where they are now. Cowlibob (talk) 21:36, 26 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Moved Ally McBeal and Family Guy so they are in order by year with the rest of the paragraph LADY LOTUS • TALK 15:58, 27 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

All sorted now. I now support this list. Another great job. Cowlibob (talk) 18:34, 27 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
