Featured list candidates/James Franco filmography/archive1

Nominator(s): FrankBoy _CHITCHAT 18:31, 8 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I am nominating this for featured list because I think it meets the FL standards. -- FrankBoy _CHITCHAT 18:31, 8 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Quick comment Titles in the tables need to be sorted like you've sorted The Company so that the "the" is ignored and the sort only takes into account the word after. Roles need to be sorted by the character's last name. Dates on refs also need to be month/day/year as he's American so check all are like that. Cowlibob (talk) 13:32, 14 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the suggestions. @Cowlibob: Done. ~~I'll get to them ASAP.~~ -- FrankBoy _CHITCHAT 14:44, 17 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Resolved comments from Simon (talk) 05:07, 15 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Quick comment There are problems with citations #17, #55 and the second reference in the "Bibliography" section. To see the problems with harv references you might need to install this script. — HĐ (talk) 00:56, 5 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@HĐ: I think the harv errors are fixed now. Cowlibob (talk) 04:59, 15 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Support Great list! Simon (talk) 05:07, 15 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Resolved comments from SNUGGUMS

I'll leave comments later this week, but please address the references HĐ mentioned Snuggums (talk / edits) 01:46, 5 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Here's more from me:

Something is wrong with the table sorting in the row containing Sonny
Could {{n/a}} perhaps be used in place of "—" within tables that Franco didn't appear in?
Unlink The Feast of Stephen; not likely to be notable for a separate article
Digital Spy shouldn't be italicized, and could potentially be replaced if stronger sources are available

@SNUGGUMS: Digital Spy is actually a British entertainment website owned by Hearst Corporation. They do have a huge editorial staff noted here [2] It is akin to such websites such as Deadline.com and HitFix. There was discussion about it at Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Noticeboard over here.

I am aware of who owns it, and wasn't saying it was bad, only that there might be better ones available (i.e. The Hollywood Reporter or Variety) Snuggums (talk / edits) 22:09, 8 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

"The" is not part of the title for Hürriyet Daily News
"The Daily News" should read "New York Daily News"
HARVref errors still need to be addressed
Not sure if Amazon.com should be used
accessdates need to be fixed in FN's 55 and 58
What makes "Mashable" a high-quality source?
"The" is not part of the title for Los Angeles Times
Entertainment Weekly must be italicized, and only linked in FN9
Link Deadline.com
"Daily Express" and "Zap2It" aren't exactly the best of sources
Is "Internet Broadway Database" a good source to use? Something doesn't feel right about it given the resemblance to IMDb

@SNUGGUMS: IBDB is a reliable source. In fact it and Lortel are the only really comprehensive sources for American stage appearances. Their about us page: [[3]] shows it's not user generated like IMDB. Cowlibob (talk) 01:53, 13 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for that link, Cowlibob; works for me Snuggums (talk / edits) 02:06, 13 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@SNUGGUMS: Since the nominator has not been active since May 4, I had a go at sorting the points above, please have another look and see if it's better. Cowlibob (talk) 03:02, 13 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Mostly good now. I'm not sure what to say about Moviefone, but Buzzfeed is also definitely not reliable. Snuggums (talk / edits) 03:33, 13 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@SNUGGUMS: Did a once over of the sources, hopefully got them all to be RS. Cowlibob (talk) 06:30, 13 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I'm going to oppose for now. Snuggums (talk / edits) 19:47, 7 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Support looks good now. Snuggums (talk / edits) 06:39, 13 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Support: Excellent list.
