I am nominating this for featured list because it meets the criteria and it deserves to be listed to FLs. Thanks. Captain Assassin! «T ♦ C ♦ G» 04:41, 22 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Comment – I find this nomination a little bit unfair. Since Cowlibob is the person responsible for the article's expansion, you should add him as the nominator. As for you, you have only copy-pasted the list from its parent article. --ḞɾɑṇḵɃōẙ (Buzz) 11:06, 22 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
He surely would have credit more than me if it passed. I did nothing, just nominated it. Please add your name here, Cowlibob. --Captain Assassin! «T ♦ C ♦ G» 17:47, 22 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
@Captain Assassin!: Added name. In future, please note that FLC is different from DYK. Usually only major contributors of lists nominate as they are best placed to answer queries by reviewers. If you are not a major contributor, you must consult the major contributors before nominating at FLC. Cowlibob (talk) 22:45, 23 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I'm feeling ashamed now. Should I cancel the nomination now? --Captain Assassin! «T ♦ C ♦ G» 02:48, 24 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
@Captain Assassin!: No need to withdraw, I was going to nominate this one soon anyway. Don't worry, just think of it as a learning experience. FrB.TG, this is all sorted now, you can start your review if you'd like. Cowlibob (talk) 08:46, 24 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Comments from FrB.TG
  • The first and second sentences can be merged.
  • Names under Recipient column are sorted by their last names. Heslov's name should come at last where he's won with Ben Affleck, and George Clooney.
  • Redirect: Patch.com
  • Why is only ref. 61 archived? It's not even dead or is it that something's wrong with this?
  • You might use !scope="row" just like many do.
  • In some places, the Best Picture winner is written as "Argo", while in some as "Grant Heslov, Ben Affleck and George Clooney". Academy Awards and Alliance of Women Film Journalists as an example.

Besides, the work in the list is done quite nicely. --ḞɾɑṇḵɃōẙ (Buzz) 16:37, 24 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

All issues resolved. The last one does not need to be resolved because the film or producers name are written according to awards. Some awards mention film's name but others mention producers' names. --Captain Assassin! «T ♦ C ♦ G» 17:55, 24 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
That it is, but that's up to you which one you choose and you have to maintain consistency. Either list producers' names in all or the film's name. Besides, the fifth item isn't done properly. --ḞɾɑṇḵɃōẙ (Buzz) 18:30, 24 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Done. Anything left? --Captain Assassin! «T ♦ C ♦ G» 18:51, 24 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
@FrB.TG: Fixed all above points except one. Consistency is one thing but as Captain said above, different awarding bodies name the producers while others just name the film so we have to go by the sources on who received or was nominated for the award. If we changed all the ones where producers were named to just the film name that would be incorrect as the producers were nominated for it not just the film and if we did the opposite that would be OR of us presuming which producers would be nominated for the award for the film.

Comments
  • Ref 3 is missing Los Angeles Times and its publisher (Personally, I'd prefer Tribune Publishing, but an actual person is fine. Just make sure it is consistent)
  • Refs 25, 53,7 and 77 should have (Penske Media Corporation) in parentheses next to Deadline.com link.
  • Refs 28 and 67 are missing Prometheus Global Media.
  • Not much of a big deal personally, but is it possible just to only link the first mention of every source and publisher to avoid overlinking (unless your other film lists do otherwise just curious)?

Comments
  • "Ben Affleck,and" space please.
  • "screenplay written by Chris Terrio" commas after screenplay and Terrio needed.
  • "United States (U.S.) diplomats" abbreviation really not required.
  • "Warner Bros. Pictures" is just "Warner Bros." isn't it?
  • "at over 3200" -> "more than 3200".
  • Why hyphenate "box office"?
  • Not sure about the use of the semi colon in note b.
  • "African American Film Critics Association" African American is hyphenated.
  • "Critics Choice Awards " should be "Critics' Choice Movie Awards "
  • Not sure about calling 2nd, 3rd, 4th place etc in a list a "win". Isn't a "runner-up" more like a nomination that didn't win? Is this bumping up of wins commonplace in this kind of list?
  • Irish Film and Television Awards replace the "and" with an &.
  • Las Vegas Film Critics Society is soon to be deleted.
  • "London Film Critics Circle" should be "London Film Critics' Circle"
  • Odd mix, you have "Robert Award" yet "Satellite Awards"... be consistent.
  • "Washington D. C. Area Film Critics Association" no space between D. and C.
  • Some rows with multiple refs use a break between them, some don't. Be consistent.

@The Rambling Man: Thanks for the thorough review. I think I sorted everything except the odd mix comment and the 2nd place comment. I've used the common name of the awards ceremony for each award, except for the critics associations who generally don't have special names for their awards ceremonies. The 2nd etc. being counted as wins was a convention before my time so I presumed it had some consensus as a way of recognising placing in an award as opposed to outright losing a nomination. Cowlibob (talk) 17:21, 6 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Not sure I follow. The name of the awards ceremony for the Robert Awards is ... Robert Awards. Not Robert Award. The same is true of the Saturn Awards (e.g. 39th Saturn Awards), etc. The Rambling Man (talk) 09:38, 7 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
@The Rambling Man: I now see what you meant, fixed. Cowlibob (talk) 13:57, 7 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
