Nominator(s): Birdienest81 (talk) 17:15, 12 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I am nominating the 1992 Oscars for featured list because I believe it has great potential to become a Featured List. I read the requirements and criteria. I also followed how the 1929, 1990, 2000, 2004, 2009, 2010, and 2012 Oscars were written. --Birdienest81 (talk) 17:15, 12 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

;Comments:
  • took place March 30, 1992 → took place on March 30, 1992
  • Three weeks earlier in a ceremony → Three weeks earlier, in a ceremony
  • In the section Box office performance → are the money figures in US dollars?
  • Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, History (ref 15), Box Office Mojo (ref 29), Associated Press (ref 28) shouldn't be in italics (see WP:ITALIC).

Resolved comments from Cambalachero
;Comments:
  • What about "Manipulation" in the lead? Doesn't it have an article? If it won an Academy Award, it must surely be notable
  • "The telecast garnered more than 44 million viewers (in North America).", the parentheses are not needed. "44 million viewers in North America" is specific enough. And is it the actual North America, including Mexico and Canada, or just the US? The Ratings section seems to suggest that it is the second, and the 40º reference does not mention the detail.
  • The awards table has an empty field. It is unavoidable with an uneven number of awards, but it may be better if it's redesigned to leave the empty field at the bottom right (unless it is following a specific order)
  • "Academy Honorary Award" and "Irving G. Thalberg Memorial Award" are borth in special sections with a single entry. Perhaps it may be better to create a single section with a descriptive name (something like "honorary awards", perhaps), and list both awards and their recipients.
  • What about Les Marshak? Again, if he worked in the Academy Awards ceremony, he should be likely to be notable already.

Apart from those details, easy to fix, this look like a good work. At last, it has a similar quality to the other lists pointed, already featured. Cambalachero (talk) 01:05, 21 September 2013 (UTC) Comment for directors: I have limited time in internet lately, so if those details are fixed, or the nominator provides a sound reason to keep them as they are, feel free to count me as a supporter, even if I did not had the time to return and do so myself Cambalachero (talk) 22:34, 21 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

  • Fixed: I have fixed almost everything you requested with some notes
  • For the Honorary Awards, I lumped them into a single section similar to the 1st Academy Awards
  • Changed North America to United States since the ratings refer only to the United States
  • Unfortunately, there are no articles for the short film Manipulation or the person Les Mashrak.

Comments –
  • Winners and nominees: "and the first film to be released home video prior to winning the award." Needs "on" before "home".
  • Presenters and performers: A colon or period is needed before ref 19.
  • Ceremony information: "AMPAS rehired Gil Cates for third consecutive year." Needs "the" before "third".
  • The Billy Crystal alt text needs "a" before "navy" and "who" before "is".
  • Done: I fixed it.

  • LGBT in film protest: Semi-colon in the last sentence should be a regular old comma instead.
  • Done: I fixed it.

;Comments: — The Presenters and performers table is sorting by first name, not last name. For future reference see, 40th Daytime Emmy Awards.  — SoapFan12 (talk, contribs) 19:55, 26 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Fixed — I added sortname for the presenters. However, I must point out that the presenters are initially listed in order of how they appeared on the telecast as have my other lists such as the 2000 and 2012 Oscars. But if you to see them in alphabetical order by last name, click on the arrows.
