Comments from SNUGGUMS

From DiCaprio's main article, I'm not too sure about the following references:

  • "Heavy.com"
  • "Highbeam.com"
  • "Collider.com"

Additionally, Forbes should be italicized while Box Office Mojo and "RogerEbert.com" should not. "Daily News (New York)" should read New York Daily News, "Deadline New York" should read Deadline.com, "HollywoodReporter.com" should read The Hollywood Reporter. I'm going to oppose for now. Snuggums (talk / edits) 21:38, 25 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

All resolved SNUGGUMS. As for Highbeam Research, it's a high quality source used to access newspapers. -- Frankie talk 08:40, 26 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • I can now support. Thank you and Ssven2 for also explaining Highbeam. Snuggums (talk / edits) 14:14, 26 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Comments from Ssven2

I have helped solve some of SNUGGUMS' comments (the Box Office Mojo, RogerEbert.com, Daily News, Deadline and Hollywood Reporter ones). I would have to disagree on Highbeam as the article redirects to HighBeam Research, a very reliable source which is like an archive of newspapers, websites and magazines. Frank, as for Heavy and Collider, you can try to find more reliable sources than them. — Ssven2 Speak 2 me 05:54, 26 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you Ssven2. You can provide your comments if you want. -- Frankie talk 08:40, 26 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Main article
  • "The film eventually premiered at the 2001 Berlin International Film Festival, where it was well received by critics, with Time Out New York writer Mike D'Angelo calling it "the best film [I saw] in Berlin". DiCaprio's last film of the year 1995 was The Basketball Diaries, a biopic about Jim Carroll." — needs ref.
  • "he was awarded a Golden Raspberry Award for Worst Screen Couple for both incarnations the following year." — needs ref.
Since Raspberry is not considered an award, I have removed that.
  • "The following year, DiCaprio received his third Golden Globe nomination for his work on the film." — needs ref.
  • "DiCaprio received rave reviews for his performance and won a Golden Globe Award for Best Actor, also receiving another Academy Award nomination." — needs ref.
  • "For his portrayal DiCaprio garnered his seventh Golden Globes nomination." — needs ref.
  • "DiCaprio's performance in The Departed was applauded by critics and earned him a Satellite Award for Best Supporting Actor. The same year, both the Golden Globes and the Screen Actors Guild nominated DiCaprio twice in the Best Actor category for both of his 2006 features, and in addition, DiCaprio earned his third Academy Award nomination for Blood Diamond." — needs ref.
All done. Thank you. :) -- Frankie talk 09:36, 26 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
@FrB.TG: Thanks for resolving them. The topic has my support. — Ssven2 Speak 2 me 11:37, 26 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks a lot. -- Frankie talk 16:06, 26 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Comments from Kailash[edit]

Although Razzies may not be considered awards, their non-existence cannot salvage critically mauled films. The Razzie statement(s) may be re-added with reliable refs; when Oscar winners Halle Berry and Sandra Bullock have accepted their Razzies in person, it is high time we consider them real awards. But the articles look otherwise good. Kailash29792 (talk) 17:38, 4 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Kailash29792: Thanks for your comments. I have added the Raspberry Award back with a reliable source. -- Frankie talk 17:53, 4 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
You are welcome. Although the main article seems to have some bad prosing, I'll take care of that. But this Featured Topic Candidate still has my support. Kailash29792 (talk) 17:56, 4 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you! Delegates: it has now four supports. It's been more than a month. Isn't it the time for closure? -- Frankie talk 09:48, 14 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
