Comments
  • "earned him international recognition as an action hero." - this statement could do with a source
  • "Willis also has lent" - "Willis has also lent" is more natural language IMO
  • Film titles starting with a number should sort as if it was written as a word, and titles starting with the word "A" should sort on the next word
  • If the date column is re-sorted, the two "TBA" entries act as if they are earlier than 1980 - they should probably sort as if they were later than 2022
  • Roles which are a full name (forename/surname) should sort based on the surname rather than the forename
  • Unclear why List of films with a 0% rating on Rotten Tomatoes is a "See also". I presume it's because somewhere on the list is such a film, but that isn't obvious
  • Think that's it from me - great work overall! -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 18:39, 11 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Accessibility review (MOS:DTAB)
  • Column headers need to be marked with colscopes, e.g. "!Year" should be "!scope=col| Year". Colscopes and Rowscopes (below) allow screen reader software to properly read out tables verbally.
  • The primary cell of each row should be marked with rowscopes, e.g. "| 1980" should be "!scope=row| 1980"
  • Images need alt text, which can just be e.g. "Bruce Willis"; if it's not present, screen reader software instead reads out the file name. --PresN 14:56, 12 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Comments from Aoba47 edit

  • I have two suggestions for this part, After making a guest appearance in Miami Vice (1984). I would say "guest-starring" as it is more concise. I am uncertain about using the year as a parenthetical as it could imply the show lasted for that year. Something like "guest-starring in a 1984 episode of Miami Vice" would remove that ambiguity.
  • Since both his Miami Vice and The Twilight Zone episodes have articles, would it be beneficial to link them in the lead?
  • I would revise this part, Since then, Willis, to avoid saying "then" as it is rather vague. It is better to be more exact when possible.
  • For this sentence, Overall, films featuring Willis have grossed US$5.3 billion worldwide, making him one of the highest-grossing actors in the world., would it be beneficial to incorporate a "as of X date" as he is still making films so the number could (and likely will) increase with time.

Good work with the list. I really like Bruce Willis so I enjoyed looking through this. It makes me want to go back and rewatch some of his work again. Once all my above comments are addressed, I will support this for promotion. If possible, I would greatly appreciate any help with my current FAC. Either way, have a great rest of your weekend!

====Comments from HAL====
  • Lede is a little short.
    • You should avoid using "would".
    • I'm a little concerned about the final sentence of the lede - that will require constant updating.
    • Make it more chronological.
    • Maybe get it up the four paragraphs.
    • Much of it is unsourced as well.
  • Place the scope on the film titles rather than the year.
  • Some of the sources aren't high quality RS, such as Screen Rant.

That's all for now. ~ HAL333 20:00, 17 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@HAL333: While I didn't get it to 4 paragraphs, I have expanded the lead, added references, made it more chronological, and reworded the final sentence so it won't have to be updated until a major milestone.

  • Source review – The formatting and reliability of the references both look okay, and the link-checker tool shows no issues. My source review has been passed. Giants2008 (Talk) 22:34, 27 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
