Marilyn Monroe is still an icon, even over fifty years after her death. Her fame and status rests on the 29 films in which she appeared, of which possibly ten are truly memorable. This filmography has recently been updated and revamped, and is now at FLC standard. – SchroCat (talk) 21:12, 14 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Television
- The Jack Benny Program, The Bob Hope Show, and President Kennedy's Birthday Salute should be in italics, not quotation marks.
- The Bob Hope Show redirects to a radio program called The Pepsodent Show. Either find a correct link or don't link it at all.
- As Monroe's credits were all on American television, the column listed as "Channel" should be changed to "Network". ("Channel" is more apt to British television and thus does not apply here.) Jimknut (talk) 01:35, 15 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- Comments
- It's probably not a common practice to add a comma after "in [the year]" in British English. Should comma be added here?
- "the Hollywood Walk of Fame on February 8, 1960" - do we need to be so specific about the time? I think only the year would suffice.
- Same goes for the dates in the television section.
- I think it should be "Ref" instead of "Notes" in the awards and nominations section. Just for the sake of consistency.
Nothing major; thanks for working on it. FrB.TG (talk) 11:42, 16 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- Support, I am sure a comma won't make that of a big difference. The change can be made accordingly as and when an American confirms it. Great work! FrB.TG (talk) 12:22, 16 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

- No quite sure what the comma question is above, but as an American, I can tell you that correct general formatting is Month X, 19XX. So wherever there is a day, you always add the comma there. In situations where it is just month/year there usually isn't a comma between month and year, but we often add one right after the year: "It happened in May of 2016," or "It happened in May 2016," or "It happened on May 1, 2016." Rephrased, I'd punctuate it "In May 2016, it happened," or "On May 1, 2016, it happened." Does that help? Montanabw(talk) 07:57, 1 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- Support: As far as I can see, this list is comprehensive, well-sourced and meets the FL criteria. That said, this is my first FL review, so I may have missed something. Montanabw(talk) 22:42, 1 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- Support – I must be getting dottier than ever: I could have sworn I'd looked in here and added my support already, but ahem! Happy to support now: no problems with the prose and content of the introduction, and to my (inexpert) eye the tables seem authoritative and comprehensive, and are certainly well documented. I can't imagine the page being done better than this. – Tim riley talk 11:23, 5 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
