This is my first attempt at a director's filmography. Welles is an iconic director, and his prolific filmography, including his many partially-completed works, is very interesting. ~ HAL333 21:11, 13 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

; Comments from Medusa
  • who is remembered for his innovative work → who is best remembered for his innovative work
  • Welles' second film was the The Magnificent Ambersons (1942) → Welles' second film was The Magnificent Ambersons (1942)
  • External links is empty
Comments
  • "which he also starred in as Charles Foster Kane" => "in which he also starred as Charles Foster Kane"
  • "Welles then directed the film-noir" - second consecutive sentence to start with "Welles", so maybe change this one to "He"
  • "which he also starred in opposite his estranged wife" => "in which he also starred opposite his estranged wife"

"which he also starred in alongside Charlton Heston" => "in which he also starred alongside Charlton Heston"

  • "which he also starred in as Falstaff." => "in which he also starred as Falstaff."
  • "In 1937, Welles collaborated" => "In 1937, he collaborated"
  • Think that's it from me - great work overall! -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 18:21, 18 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
 Done I appreciate the comments Chris. ~ HAL333 23:16, 18 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comments –
  • The alt text should not merely say "See caption", because that is what the screen reader will say out loud. The person who uses the screen reader will probably not be able to see the caption (hence the reason why they are using a screen reader to begin with, if they are visually impaired).
D'oh! ~ HAL333 02:53, 25 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Apart from that, images utilized are licensed and tagged (no action needed).
  • "In 1971, Welles was awarded an Academy Honorary Award …" – is there another word other than "awarded" or "received" that could be used here for variation? Perhaps "conferred", "granted", or "given". Also, it's probably best to put the year after "Award", so that the sentence begins with the subject and allow the reader to connect chronologically with the next sentence (which starts with "Four years later").

 Done

  • Just curious – any particular reason why Mel Brooks is mentioned in the last sentence of the actor paragraph? No need to remove it, but I think it would be better to put his name at the very end (i.e. "and History of the World, Part I (1981) by Mel Brooks) in order to avoid MOS:SEAOFBLUE. Unless, of course, you feel that it would confuse the reader into thinking that Brooks directed the two films mentioned immediately before History of the World.
I inserted "comedy-film" to break up the blue. Hopefully, that'll do the job. ~ HAL333 03:03, 25 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Source review - Pass edit

Doing now Aza24 (talk) 06:45, 4 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • At the moment there are very few works/publishers linked to you can either go through and link them all or unlink the ones currently linked (refs 22, 159, 107, 137, 144, 145, 151, 174
  • ref 144 was broken for me
  • Lol what is the link for ref 149 for?
  • It was missing a hashtag so it just went to the surname and not the cited book. I was confused for a second too. ;) ~ HAL333 00:53, 5 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Ref 165 broken formatting
  • ref 110 needs isbn 13 (link to converter)
  • Reliability and the rest of formatting looks good Aza24 (talk) 06:55, 4 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

 Done ~ HAL333 00:55, 5 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Good work, pass for source review. Aza24 (talk) 08:39, 5 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
