;Comments
  • The lead should not have six separate paragraphs, some as short as a single sentence. Combine it into fewer paragraphs.
 Fixed Some Dude From North Carolinawanna talk?
  • "Shyamalan first began his career in the 1990s" - the word "first" here is redundant and should be removed
 Fixed Some Dude From North Carolinawanna talk?
  • The sentence beginning "However, Shyamalan went on" is far too long and should be broken up
 Fixed Some Dude From North Carolinawanna talk?
  • The lead image caption is not a complete sentence so should not have a full stop
 Fixed Some Dude From North Carolinawanna talk?
  • Also, I think it should be "for The Happening" rather than of
 Fixed Some Dude From North Carolinawanna talk?
  • No reason for a full stop after the word "re-writes" against She's All That
 Fixed Some Dude From North Carolinawanna talk?
  • In the image caption for the picture with Bryce Dallas Howard, it should be "at the San Sebastian International Film Festival", not in
 Fixed Some Dude From North Carolinawanna talk?
  • Can't see any reason to fix the widths of the columns. In particular there's no reason for the refs columns to be so massively wide, and the huge year column in the acting table looks ridiculous

Comments from HAL
  • Remove the first and third use of "also"
 Done Some Dude From North Carolinawanna talk?
  • Would place scope on the film titles.
  • In ref 38, just call the work Vulture.
 Fixed Some Dude From North Carolinawanna talk?
  • You should make some sections of the table sortable.
 Done Some Dude From North Carolinawanna talk?
  • I despise row span, but that's just my personal preference.

Overall, looks pretty good. ~ HAL333 15:45, 15 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@HAL333: Done. Some Dude From North Carolinawanna talk? 17:44, 15 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Table accessibility review (MOS:DTAB): The tables are missing column and rowscopes, and captions.

  • Please add `|+ table caption` to the top of the table, or if it would duplicate a nearby section header you can visually hide the caption as `|+ {{sronly|table caption}}`
  • Each column header should be marked with `scope="col"`, e.g. instead of `! Year` it should be `! scope="col" | Year
  • For each row, the 'primary' cell should be marked with `scope="row"`, e.g. instead of `| 1992` it should be `!scope="row"| 1992`. If the way this changes the formatting of that column bothers you, you can add the `plainrowheaders` class to the top of the table at `{| class="wikitable"`

Comments from Dank

  • Standard disclaimer: I don't know what I'm doing, and I mostly AGF on sourcing.
  • I could be wrong, but I think there's an expectation at WP:FLC, among many reviewers at least, that the usual kinds of table columns will be sortable. Look at ... well, the tables in any of the other nominations to see how the coding works. The only tricky part is making sorting work correctly when it doesn't make sense to sort according to the first word ... either use {{sort}} and {{sortname}}, or see my nom (List of plant genera named for people (A–C)) for how to use "data-sort". (Chris and PresN do know what they're doing, and I see they didn't ask for it ... if you'd rather not do it, that's fine, but in general, it will be harder to get reviewers at FLC if you don't, I think.) - Dank (push to talk) 23:37, 4 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Dank:  Done: Made the tables sortable and added the "sort" template through this edit. Some Dude From North Carolina (talk) 00:35, 5 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • FLC criteria:
  • 1. The prose is fine. I've done a little copyediting; feel free to revert or discuss. I checked sorting on some columns and sampled the links in the tables.
  • 2. The lead meets WP:LEAD and defines the inclusion criteria.
  • 3a. The list has comprehensive items and annotations.
  • 3b. The UPSD tool frowns on Medium.com. Some websites, such as Bloody Disgusting, I'm not qualified to assess. Otherwise, UPSD isn't indicating problems (but this isn't a source review). All relevant retrieval dates are present.
  • 3c. The list meets requirements as a stand-alone list, it isn't a content fork, it doesn't largely duplicate another article (that I can find), and it wouldn't fit easily inside another article.
  • 4. It is navigable.
  • 5. It meets style requirements. The images are great.
  • 6. It is stable.
  • Qualified Support ... qualified since I'm really not the best guy to assess some of the sources. Well done. (I hope you'll drop by my plant list noms every now and then, but they tend to be long, so don't sweat it.) - Dank (push to talk) 01:24, 5 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
