Nominator(s): Ruby2010 comment! 20:51, 22 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I am nominating this for featured list because I believe it meets the FL criteria. This will be my third film accolades FL (assuming that Master and Commander passes, which I do). I'm ready and willing to respond to any comments. Thanks, Ruby2010 comment! 20:51, 22 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Two minor qualms. You dont need to bold the film name in the first line and include a summary of the total number of awards won from total nominations. Other wise support. — Legolas (talk2me) 14:08, 23 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Both done. Thanks very much for the support. Ruby2010 comment! 14:54, 23 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • I haven't looked over the entire article, but the infobox says the film won 30 awards, while the last sentence in the lead says 31. - JuneGloom Talk 15:16, 24 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Support with just a few minor suggestions:

  • "Sense and Sensibility is a 1995 British period drama film directed by Ang Lee." period should be linked as some readers might not be familiar with period pieces
  • "Sense and Sensibility was released in cinemas on 15 December 1995," I think "to" instead of "in" would be better
  • Link review aggregator
  • "Winslet was recognised in both categories for both lead and supporting actress," I think the first both is a bit redundant

Other than that, superb work on this and the film article. Crystal Clear x3 10:16, 25 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Very helpful suggestions. All now fixed. Thanks for the support! Ruby2010 comment! 15:31, 25 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: You should probably make a new infobox for these sorts of articles, at something like {{Infobox film awards}}. It would be better than hard-coding infoboxes, a practice which is essentially extinct at this point. –Drilnoth (T/C) 23:43, 25 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • Is there really a need to disambiguate the title with (film) here?
  • Perhaps not, but considering there are countless adaptations, I wanted to help the reader differentiate. You think I should remove it? Ruby2010 comment! 16:07, 29 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • "Sensibilitys approval " one too many hyphen's here.
  • How do you know you got every single nomination/award?
  • Obviously it would be impossible to know every single award for something. However, the article includes all I have been able to find online, which are surely the most major and recognized accolades out there. Ruby2010 comment! 16:07, 29 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • We usually expect to see PDF for PDF links.
  • The awards database links are just general web links, not specifically referencing what you need them to.

The Rambling Man (talk) 15:01, 29 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • Not quite sure what you're talking about here. Each award listed is for the most part cited directly from their respective award websites. For instance, the Academy Awards are cited at the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences's website. What better source than the awards themselves? Correct me if you meant something else. Thanks, Ruby2010 comment! 19:15, 29 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • E.g. ref 19 which just links to the database page of BAFTA, not the page on BAFTA's website which cites your claim. That's all. The Rambling Man (talk) 19:37, 29 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • That BAFTA link pulls up the awards archive for 1995, which lists all the awards and noms Sense received at their ceremony. I'm not sure how citing the website can be done any more clearer than that. Thanks, Ruby2010 comment! 20:46, 29 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comments –
  • "ultimately coming away three awards" needs a "with" added to it.
  • Italics needed for Evening Standard.
  • I see 61 nominations in the lead and 60 in the infobox.
  • At the last awards nomination I asked for a note saying that the day links go to articles on the awards ceremonies. I'd like to see that here as well, and for such a note to become a standard for these nominations. Giants2008 (27 and counting) 01:21, 1 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Sorry, could you rephrase? Not sure if you're referring to my last FLC, or someone else's. Also, what is a day link? Apologies for the confusion. Ruby2010 comment! 01:46, 1 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    • The FLC I was talking about was this one. It's just that the date of ceremony links are much more valuable to the reader than they appear at first, and a note would help clarify this. Giants2008 (27 and counting) 11:11, 1 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
