List of Carnivàle awards and nominations[edit]

Since this list was kept in an AfD, I have tried to reformat it based on List of Lost awards and nominations (FL), and want to make it an addition to Wikipedia:Featured topics/Carnivàle. – sgeureka t•c 08:35, 31 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comments -

  • Per the MOS, link titles shouldn't be in all capitals.
Otherwise sources look okay. Links checked out with the link checker tool. Ealdgyth - Talk 14:16, 31 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
*tsk* Those lazy cut-and-paste editors... (I am referring to me). Fixed. – sgeureka t•c
Heh. I knew it was picky, but if I just fixed it for you, you wouldn't learn to not do it. (I learned THAT trick from my mother...) All done! Ealdgyth - Talk 15:18, 31 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comments

  • Don't start featured lists with "This is a list..." - standards have improved here, featured articles don't start with "This is an article..." so why should FLs?
  • "Although Carnivàle received praise for its production and art style from early on,..." - "Although Carnivale initally received..."?
  • I don't think you need to cite the individual awards if the paragraphs preceding the table is cited.
  • Oscars is a little non-encyclopedic.
  • Don't like blank cells in tables. Perhaps consider an en-dash or n/a where appropriate.
  • Tables which have the same columns should have them fixed at the same widths to provide a good overall appearance.

I have tried to address all of your concerns. – sgeureka t•c 13:40, 13 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - Image:Carnivale title.jpg can't be used in the article, it may only be used in an article about the DVD or show it came from per fair-use. REZTER TALK ø 12:41, 13 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Removed. I am reluctant to move the nice image of Adrienne Barbeau to the lead at the moment, as I may potentially get a free image soon (snapshot of piece of the set or a replica thereof). – sgeureka t•c 13:40, 13 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Maybe you could use a photograph of a cast member who recieved a acclaimed award or maybe teh series' creator. REZTER TALK ø 14:21, 13 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I tried that in preview mode several times, but it felt wrong to me, particularly because Carnivàle earned nearly all of its critical acclaim (including awards) for high production values, not acting. Neither actor award noms (Nick Stahl, Amy Madigan) nor a won WIN award (Adrienne Barbeau) are really lead-worthy, and the two nice free images that already appear in Carnivàle are for people who aren't even mentioned in the award list. If an intertitle shot is not accepted (Carnivàle's opening title sequence won an Emmy), then my hands are tied between insignificant lead images or no images. (For the record, I plan to ask for permission for one of these excellent flickr images after clearing up how freedom of panororama laws apply in Canada, but that discussion is not really partial for this FLC.) – sgeureka t•c 15:02, 13 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
