Nominator(s): Ruby2010 comment! 04:31, 4 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I am nominating this for featured list because I believe it to be completed and of sufficient FL quality. The lead summarizes the actual list while also adding new, relevant information (i.e. how many Oscars costume designer Sandy Powell now has etc). For the list, I strove to double cite everything with a primary and secondary source (with a few exceptions due to not being able to find suitable references). I modeled the article after other FLs based on film accolades, such as here and here. Please note that this is my first FL. Thanks to everyone for looking it over!

  • Emily Blunt --> Blunt, in the second para

  • the ceremony saw film costume designer --> The word costume designer implies indirectly anyone related to film/theatre medium. So no need to include the word film.

  • Who's the person accompanying Blunt in the infobox image? He's not mentioned in the caption I see. Would it be possible to crop him out of the image, and keep only Blunt?
I'll work on finding a better image or cropping this one. Ruby2010 comment! 23:17, 4 July 2011 (UTC) Found a cropped version. Thanks, Ruby2010 comment! 23:23, 4 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Infobox, total nominations is 23 I see.
Yep you're right. Done Ruby2010 comment! 23:17, 4 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • First appearance of The Young Victoria in the Recipients column should be wiki-linked.
Done Ruby2010 comment! 23:17, 4 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • En-dash in ref. 9. Actually check the en-dash in reference titles of all the references.
Done Ruby2010 comment! 23:17, 4 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Remove capitalization in reference titles.
Before I begin this sort of big endeavor, just want to verify the only word you want capitalized is the first word (or film titles etc). I was just going by what the articles themselves capitalized otherwise. Thanks, Ruby2010 comment! 23:17, 4 July 2011 (UTC)Er I misinterpreted what you meant. There were a few refs with all caps titles that are now fixed. Thanks, Ruby2010 comment! 23:40, 4 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Ref 28, BBC News should not be italicized.
Done Ruby2010 comment! 23:17, 4 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
The Young Victoria unfortunately failed to receive a nomination there (unless there's something else I missed). Ruby2010 comment! 23:17, 4 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
ASC award is listed in the infobox as with 1 nomination. There in lies the discrepancy of 23/24 noms. — Legolas (talk2me) 06:10, 5 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Fixed (removed award). Good catch! Ruby2010 comment! 15:31, 5 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Overall, a nice list. — Legolas (talk2me) 17:12, 4 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Support the promotion of the list now

Comments
  • Infobox: (1) caption needs a full stop, (2) Awards & Nominations -> Accolades (or, worst case Awards & nominations).
  • Perhaps one sentence about what the film is about?
  • " After the Academy Awards ..." think I prefer "Following the ..."
  • "The Sydney Morning Herald included The Young Victoria on their list of the .." on "its" list.
  • "giving it the top " top repeated here, perhaps "highest" the second time?
  • About half of the award titles in the table redirect, is there a good reason for that?

The Rambling Man (talk) 20:04, 7 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

All now fixed (chose "accolades", added full stop, fixed all redirects etc). Thanks, Ruby2010 comment! 21:47, 7 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

;Comments from Crystal Clear x3

Comments: a few minor suggestions:

  • "The film starred Emily Blunt, Rupert Friend, Miranda Richardson, Mark Strong, Jim Broadbent, Harriet Walter, Paul Bettany, and Thomas Kretschmann, while Martin Scorsese, Graham King, and Sarah, Duchess of York served as its producers.[1]" I think that this sentence should be spilt. (ex . Martin Scorsese, Graham King, and Sarah, Duchess of York also served as its producers.")
  • There are quite a few instances of using "the film" or "it/its" in the first paragraph. I think it would be better to refer to it by name more often (A GK Films production, The Young Victoria was; The Young Victoria's theatrical release occurred)
  • Since the first paragraph also begins with The Young Victoria, you might wanna start the second different (for example: Vallée's movie has garnered)
  • There seems to be some overlink in the refs. (Variety in ref 4 and 7; Digital Spy in ref 32; MTV in 35; The Guardian in 18 and 20 and The Times in ref 15)
  • Not quite sure what you mean here. For consistency's sake, all the works/publishers for the refs are wikilinked (common practice in most articles). Unless you mean something else?
Per Wikipedia:OVERLINK, a work/publisher should only be linked once. (for example, if you cite People/Time Inc for ref 10 and then use EW/Time Inc for ref 52, the latter TI should not be linked)
Ah, I see. Done. Thanks, Ruby2010 comment! 23:28, 19 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • Just to be sure, you want me to add IMDb as a publisher? B/c generally I either add publishers to all the refs, or none of them (i.e. the New York Times would have The New York Times Company etc). Ruby2010 comment! 16:35, 19 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
If you only cite works then adding B.O.M. is fine. Crystal Clear x3 22:12, 19 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Wikilinked Box Office Mojo. Thanks, Ruby2010 comment! 23:28, 19 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
