List of submissions for the 80th Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film edit

I think I'm on a trend now. First episode lists, now this :p Sephiroth BCR ^(Converse) 10:49, 23 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Nice list! Here's a few suggestions:
- "Due to a change in the rules made for the 79th Academy Awards,[10] the Academy published a shortlist of nine films prior to the selection of the final five nomineees." When was the shortlist published? The table says January; is that correct?
- Please clarify how each country selected their submissions. Did the Academy ask the government of each country for a submission, or did they ask a certain film organization? Was the selection done by a committee or some other method?--Dem393 (talk) 15:22, 23 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Fixed. Sephiroth BCR ^(Converse) 00:34, 24 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, but in the sentence before source 4 make "film" plural. That's my only concern now so I support. --Dem393 (talk) 03:31, 24 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I think the Wikinews template goes in the External links section per WP:SISTER. Gary King (talk) 15:46, 23 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

WP:SISTER says next to the event, which would mean in the lead. Is this the case? Sephiroth BCR ^(Converse) 00:34, 24 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comments
- No picture at all? Nothing? Shame...
  - I guess I could use Image:Stefan Ruzowitzky ROMY2008.jpg, an image of the director of the winning film. It's not a picture of him at the Academy Awards, but it's a picture of him I suppose. Sephiroth BCR ^(Converse) 08:10, 24 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Reorder [8][7] if there's no good reason to have [8] first.

- Probably worth mentioning the winner in the lead.

- Tom Collins links to a cocktail.

- Director as a col heading probably should be Director(s) since some have more than one.

- Not directly related to this list but the two Academy Award templates at the bottom of the list have slightly different colouration - it's distracting. Any chance you might "fix" this discrepancy?

I think that's it. Sephiroth BCR ^(Converse) 08:10, 24 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: You really need to go through and check every link for redirects or misdirects; Caucasia has no link to the film, for example. This should be redlinked, or an article created. But don't just check this one, check 'em all. :) --Golbez (talk) 13:43, 25 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Went through them. The links should be fine. Sephiroth BCR ^(Converse) 01:13, 4 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
