Jack Nicholson filmography

Featured list candidates/Jack Nicholson filmography/archive1

Nominator(s): ~ HAL333 01:28, 28 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

In my honest opinion, Jack Nicholson is the greatest male actor, bar none. Fun fact: he is the most nominated male actor by the Academy. ~ HAL333 01:28, 28 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Resolved comments from Bloom6132 (talk) 02:33, 29 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comments –

In light of the recent RFC on table captions (closed back in May) and how FLCs have to follow MOS:ACCESS, a table caption for both tables should be included. However, I think this quote by PresN applies to this list: "In the case that the table is the first thing in a section where the section header is essentially the same as what the caption would be, and therefore looks duplicative visually, you can make the caption screen reader-only with the {{sronly}} template, e.g. "|+ {{sronly|Example table caption}}" instead of "|+ Example table caption"."
All images are lacking alt text.
"Next, Nicholson directed …" – consider replacing "Next" with "subsequently" or "consequently"
Read the prose in detail – everything else looks all good.

P.S. could I please trouble you to have a look at my FLC when you have the time? Cheers! —Bloom6132 (talk) 12:27, 28 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Bloom6132

Done I also reviewed your FLC. ~ HAL333 16:54, 28 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Support – all comments addressed. Looks to me like it meets all 6 FL criteria. Great work! —Bloom6132 (talk) 02:33, 29 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Note: I am participating in the WikiCup, and intend to claim points from the above review. —Bloom6132 (talk) 12:27, 28 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Support — Looks good. Great work! ~~ CAPTAIN MEDUSA^talk 16:31, 29 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Source review - Pass

Marking my place. Aza24 (talk) 09:02, 13 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Would like locations for American Film Institute, Associated Press and Napa Valley Register

I added the locations for the AP and AFI, but I have been told by other reviewers that adding a location when it is in the publication's name is redundant.. ~ HAL333 03:47, 17 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Not sure if locations would be good for Bafta or Golden Globe awards, I think it's fine without but you may disagree

I added the location for BAFTA because it has most of its operations at its headquarters in London. ~ HAL333 03:47, 17 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Spotchecked random ones: 52, 33, 21, 10, 16, 69 – all good
The HTML for your table is so nicely organized :)

Thanks!. ~ HAL333 03:47, 17 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

It is tempting to call Nicholson "one of the greatest actors of all time" but I'm not sure if the sources support that. The sources say "One of cinema’s truly iconic actors of the past fifty years" and "Jack Nicholson is regarded as one of the greatest actor's of his generation" so it's the "of all time" that concerns me. There is no doubt that Nicholson is great but I would rephrase to something closer to the sources perhaps something like "is widely considered to be among the greatest actors of his generation" – that being said, if you find better sources to support the claim, I'm cool with that as well. It looks like there are various lists (IMDB, The Delite, The Mystique) that could support your statement, not sure how reliable these lists in particular are though.

Aza24 Good point - my bias got the best of me. I appreciate the review. ~ HAL333 03:47, 17 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

No worries, good work here. Pass for the source review Aza24 (talk) 05:24, 17 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
