Comments from Ruby2010
Add wikilink to Spider-Man film franchise in lead

done

  • "Overall, the film series has received a strong to polarized reception from critics." What do you mean by strong? Negative or positive?

done

  • Any critics naming any of the films the best of the year (or decade, or out of other superhero franchises?) Might be interesting to add to last sentence in lead

done

  • I count 98 nominations, not 96 in both infobox and full lists

done

  • "having a heart to it" doesn't sound very encyclopedic

removed

  • "Dunst's performance as an aspiring actress who works as a waitress at a run down diner..." I think you can cut out the "run down diner" part (otherwise it's a little wordy)

done

  • When you say the films were released to theaters, I assume you mean in the US. Perhaps indicate this (i.e. the film was released to US theaters on ...)

done

  • "It eventually made more than $783 million[31] ..." I assume you mean worldwide?

done

  • The IGN quote needs a citation
It does, ref 36.
  • "Out of the movie's three Academy Award nominations – Best Sound Editing, Best Sound Mixing and Best Visual Effects – Spider-Man 2 was awarded the latter." I don't think latter works here, but correct me if I'm wrong

done

  • Spider-man 3: specific release date? (rather than May 2007)

done

  • "Peter must face his biggest challenge yet: fighting a rival photographer that the symbiote then refuged..." Refuged?

reworded

  • It's The New York Times and The New York Times Company (see general references)

done

  • CNBC is not italicized

done

  • It's New York (magazine is not in the title)

done

  • Ref 47: Andre Soares is author

done

  • Ref 52: Visual Effects Society Award -> Visual Effects Society Awards

done

  • Ref 53 is missing parameters (date etc)

done for the accessdate, no url because its a treelink

  • Wall Street Journal -> The Wall Street Journal

done

  • NPR is not italicized

done

  • Ref 60: add date (Feb 9, 2008)

done

  • Digital Spy is not italicized

done

  • Ref 68: publisher is Visual Effects Society

done

These need resolving. Ruby2010 comment! 18:44, 28 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for all of your comments! Crystal Clear x3 02:58, 29 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Why no URL for ref 53 (World Stunt Awards)? I assume you didn't look the website up with restricted access (like for a newspaper). Ruby2010 comment! 03:31, 29 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I've replaced the ref. Did I miss something with the other four? Crystal Clear x3 03:56, 29 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Nope, they're fine. I just didn't want to bury the Ref 53 comment in the template. Ruby2010 comment! 03:59, 29 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Support Article now looks great. Ruby2010 comment! 03:59, 29 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

    • I'd recommend renaming the article to List of accolades received by the Spider-Man film series, because it doesn't really cover accolades for other Spider-Man media like comics and video games. –Drilnoth (T/C) 19:53, 29 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
      • done
    • Remove the "See also" section. Those articles aren't really related to the topic at all. –Drilnoth (T/C) 19:53, 29 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
      • done
    • References should not use "Inc." and the like as part of company names. –Drilnoth (T/C) 19:53, 29 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
      • done
    • I'd recommend using the same color scheme for each table. Either the green or orange could work (or maybe a dark red or blue to tie in thematically to the topic?), but not the bright yellow currently used in the first table. –Drilnoth (T/C) 19:53, 29 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
      • done
    • "Spider-Man 2 was named the third best superhero movie of all-time by IGN and Time magazine." (third paragraph) needs a reference. –Drilnoth (T/C) 19:53, 29 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
      • done
    • (prose, table contents, and reference reliability not checked). –Drilnoth (T/C) 19:53, 29 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    • Wikilink publisher and work fields in references at all applicable occurrences, not just the first one. –Drilnoth (T/C) 19:53, 29 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
      • But what about WP:Overlink?
        • Oh... that's weird. I thought reference lists lists were excluded from that, because they're lists. I'll ask about it, but for now, it's okay as-is. –Drilnoth (T/C) 12:46, 30 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
        • Looks like it was discussed at Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style (linking)/Archive 11#Does overlinking apply to the references section? with, as with so many discussions on Wikipedia guidelines, absolutely no conclusion whatsoever. I guess that the refs can be kept as-is, but I'm not particularly happy about the layout. What if someone clicks a citation link to jump down and read a reference? Are they supposed to search through all the references to find a link if they want one? I won't oppose solely because of this issue, but I'm not thrilled with it either. –Drilnoth (T/C) 12:55, 30 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
          • I think linking refs every time is fine. Who knows which ref will be clicked on first? I think of it in the same way as I think of sortable tables. If there's no guarantee which link our readers click first, then we should link everything every time... The Rambling Man (talk) 18:25, 31 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • "franchise" or "film series" in the lead?

done

  • Awards & Nominations -> nominations. There should be a dedicated infobox for this, not a freestyle hard-coded table.

done

  • J.K. -> J. K.

done

  • Gwen Stacey->Stacy.

done

  • Spider-man 3 appears to rank 21 now, not 19. Perhaps worth putting an "As of..." in front of this sentence to be sure.

corrected

  • Check other two films positions.

done

  • Don't think you should start a sentence with "Whereas..."

done

  • And why not list them as 26th and 28th rather than in words?

done

  • "and getting an " -> "with an"

done

  • "and a score of 6.2/10[8] Metacritic lists" missing some punctuation here.

done

  • "gathered 5 Academy Award " -> five.

done

  • " won a total of two " not sure the point of "a total of" here.

done

  • A lot of relinking after the lead, any reason?

After first linking them in the lead, I chose to link them once again on first use only

  • link "crush" appropriately if you insist on using it.

reworded

  • "Best Dramatic Presentation - Long Form" en-dash please.

done

  • "US theatres " I suspect that should be theaters, right?

done

  • "most well-received " -> "best received"?

done

  • "bonds with him" well most of us would take that as being "made friends with" so you'd better elucidate. Or is that what you mean?

fixed

  • "Peter must face his biggest challenge yet:" sounds like you're reading the DVD blurb... this is an encyclopaedia, remember?

lol fixed

  • A general consensus -> The general..

done

  • "the former for Best Animated Effects and Best Special Visual Effects" I think you're missing "and the latter for..." aren't you?

done

  • "lost all four of" do you really "lose" nominations? Or do you just "not win" them?

done

  • Would advocate adding location= to works and publishers that could be general, like The Independent, I'd make work=London.

done

  • Newspaper refs like ref 57, 58 etc should have page number references.

Comments –
  • Lead: Never liked seeing "amongst" and prefer "among". May just be me, though.

done

  • Spider-Man: Don't need the comma after "Dunst's performance as an aspiring actress who works as a waitress".

done

  • Spider-Man 2: "and broke the best opening-day ever title." Needs "record for", and the flipping of "ever" and "title" in order.

done'

  • Maguire and Raimi respectfully picked up the...". "respectfully" → "respectively"?

done

  • Spider-Man 3: Remove apostrophe from "opening's".

done

  • "Spider-Man 3 did not win any of all four of the Visual Effects Society Awards nominations it received." Would be a little simpler to read if "any of the four Visual Effects Society Awards" were put in there.

done

done Crystal Clear x3 09:39, 11 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • One more: in "Nonetheless, Spider-Man 3 surpassed the previous two film's openings", the apostrophe in "film's" should be moved to the end of the word. Giants2008 (27 and counting) 19:11, 11 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Following an example provided by DTT, I think I've now fixed the charts correctly. Crystal Clear x3 05:30, 19 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
You just need to add scope row and then its done, I've done one cell for you as an example. NapHit (talk) 10:46, 21 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the example. How's the table now? Crystal Clear x3 08:28, 22 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
