Blue Jasmine was a particular highlight of last year primarily for Cate Blanchett's performance in the film. Here is the accolades list for it, as always, I welcome all the helpful suggestions and comments for improvements. Cowlibob (talk) 21:51, 11 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

edit- Table: The bottom note does not point to anything. You should either add {{ref|1|[I]}} to the Ceremony header or replace the note reference with a asterisk.
- References: You should strongly consider archiving your references in order to prevent WP:LINKROT. There are many services you can use, I personally prefer WebCite. Its very simple and only takes minutes.
Overall its a very good list; well organized table, well referenced, and the lead does a good job summarizing the topic.--TriiipleThreat (talk) 18:13, 22 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comments from SchroCat
edit- I'm not a big fan of rowspans as there are access issues with them (see Avoiding rowspan/colspan), but I'm not sure that is an enforceable criteria.
- Be consistent in your spacings in refs: some have " ' and some have "' (compare FNs 11 and 14, but there are others)
- Be consistent in providing publisher details: you do for some, but there are a lot of gaps
That's it from me: very slender fare for a well put together list. - SchroCat (talk) 22:00, 26 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
@SchroCat: Thanks for your comments. I've fixed the spacing and added publishers wherever possible. I don't know if it helps that the rows return after the column is sorted. Cowlibob (talk) 10:27, 27 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Support: Well done once again Cowlibob (talk · contribs), though I am not sure if describing the film as a "comedy-drama" is apt. I think it has been generally described as a drama. -- KRIMUK90 ✉ 07:01, 27 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- @Krimuk90: It's not a pure comedy but I've seen it described as a black comedy which I've changed in the lead as well. Thanks for the support! Cowlibob (talk) 10:30, 27 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Support: Looks consistent with all the other film accolade lists that are featured articles.

The King's Speech is the most successful independent British film, a critical and box office success. It was well-received enough to win a pile of critical riches that were poured forth onto the cast and crew alike. It's had a recent work over, and should now be FL standard. All comments and criticisms are welcome. – SchroCat (talk) 21:40, 20 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment This isn't a necessity, just curiosity - is there a way to separate the tables like this? Especially the prestigious awards like the Academy Awards, Golden Globes, SAG awards, etc. I feel like that would be better for navigation. Again, not a necessity, the list is great and well sourced :) LADY LOTUS • TALK 13:50, 22 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Hi Lady, It's possible, but not necessarily desirable! Having the results in one table allows readers to sort all the results together. They can see, for example, the number and range of awards won by Tariq Anwar, or Colin Firth, or how many "Best film" awards were won – and all in one table. I find the flexibility of the sort is more useful for general readers than separate tables, which is all a bit too "static" for my liking. - SchroCat (talk) 14:30, 22 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

- Support Reordered the lead a bit. One minor thing I would add is an introductory sentence before the 83rd academy awards which highlights that although the film earned recognition in a variety of categories, certain aspects of the film earned the most recognition in terms of accolades e.g Firth, Hooper, Rush and Carter. In regards to Metacritic, I've seen that bit of MOS most of the time interpreted as only news/magazine sources should be italicised so I wouldn't be surprised if someone else brought it up but it's so minor. Anyway, great list which is well written and well sourced. Cowlibob (talk) 11:42, 2 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Cheers Cowlibob. I've seen Metacritic italicised and not italicised all over the place, and it's a shame there's no concrete decision made somewhere to make the MoS more clear on this! Thanks again for your time and effort here. - SchroCat (talk) 12:25, 2 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I am nominating this for featured list because SoapFan12 and I have worked on the list more than a year ago to comply with Featured list standards. I strongly believe that this list has a potential to become a featured list. I followed closely to how the Daytime Emmy Award acting list were formatted. Birdienest81 (talk) 20:58, 8 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - Matthew McConaughey is the most recent winner in this category for his role in Dallas Buyers Club. The sentence should be shifted to the end of the lead as we follow chronology to these kinds of lists. I have no other thing to say --FrankBoy (Buzz) 18:37, 9 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- @FrB.TG:: Done: I moved that sentence to the end of the paragraph.

Support — Looks good. Jimknut (talk) 00:14, 16 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Comments – I really like the list after reading through it. However, I do see one area that could be improved: the multiple wins and nominations lists, which are just bullet-point lists with minimal formatting. A simple two- or three-column table would look nicer in each case, in my view. Also, the See also section contains several links that are in one of the templates at the bottom of the page; they probably don't need to be duplicated and make the section long. Finally, the bibliography should probably be alphabetized, which won't take much work with only two books there.Giants2008 (Talk) 01:32, 10 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- @Giants2008: Fixed: I have alphabetized the bibliography by author's surname and eliminated duplicated Oscar links. Regarding the multiple winners and nominees section, however, I'm not sure what to do. I attempted to do a similar table as the one featured here, but other Wikipedians complained that it was too long. How can I fix the problem?
- --Birdienest81 (talk) 21:47, 10 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- You could change the emphasis of the latter grouping to be about actors with the most noms, and pick a minimum number of noms required for inclusion that will help control the size. If you limit a table to actors with at least four or five noms, the table's size should be much more managable than if you try to put all of the actors currently listed in a table. Giants2008 (Talk) 01:05, 12 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- @Giants2008: Done: I merged the multiple awards/nominations into one section. For the nominations, I put the limit to four to avoid a long column. Thanks for your help!

Although I couldn't find anything specific on this, but shouldn't any content, inlcuding image captions, be properly sourced? Examples being the captions that include information on the youngest and oldest award winners, and number of nominations. Shouldn't that information be included in the lead, then cited? Or cited inline in the caption? Or neither? Or is it already, and I am not seeing it?Neonblak talk - 20:22, 17 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

- Support: Excellent work!! Just one minor point: For the images of the actors on the right, I see some of the captions are accompanied by the year(s) in which they won, while some are not. For example, it doesn't state the years in which Sean Penn and Daniel Day Lewis won. I suggest the years are mentioned for all of them. -- KRIMUK90 ✉ 11:17, 21 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Done: Added missing years in the thumbnail captions to Brando, Hoffman, Brody, Penn, and Day-Lewis.

Comments from SNUGGUMS
edit- This is quite close to being featured quality :). Just need to get rid of one New York Post ref. Also, if not including number of movies, shows, and plays she appeared in, may as well say she appeared in "many films, television shows, and plays" or say she had "an extensive career in films, television shows, and plays".

- No worries, just minor fixes, and include her roles for all the "stage" roles Snuggums (talk / edits) 17:40, 26 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- I tried to look them up but some of her roles were nameless roles. Should I leave them blank? LADY LOTUS • TALK 18:58, 26 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- If nameless, Lady Lotus, just describe the type of character (i.e. office secretary, opera singer, nun, bartender, dancer) Snuggums (talk / edits) 19:01, 26 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Ok so I dug a little deeper and got all the names but one. And all I can find was she was a shy 17-year old, it was speaking part, but no name. I don't want to say what she is if I dont' know. LADY LOTUS • TALK 19:30, 26 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- I did some searching myself, but found no names for her character either on Franlin Street. Before anything else, tell me this: what was this shy girl like? A pedestrian, student, townsperson, you name it: some more detail on her character. Snuggums (talk / edits) 19:37, 26 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Well she was 17 so I'm guessing a student but I'm not sure. Not a whole lot of sources talked about her character just that is was her stage debut at 18. LADY LOTUS • TALK 20:03, 26 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comments from Krimuk90
editThis is very close to featured quality. just a few minor points:
- Since the release years for Applause and Woman of the Year are already stated, I don't think the years should be repeated for her Tony Wins for those plays. Done
- The Tree of Hands links to the novel, not the film. Done
- Ref no. 30 is not centered in the ref. column, like the others. Done
- Are her roles in A Star for Two and Franklin Street unknown? If so, it would be good to state that. (I see the previous reviewer has also commented on this) Done; put "Unknown" for A Star for Two; and "Unnamed teenager" for Franklin Street.
- Playbill is a magazine, right? So it should be in italics in the reference section. Done -- KRIMUK90 ✉ 11:59, 27 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comments from Crisco 1492 and We hope
edit- Delegate's comment - I'm not too sure on the acceptability of some of these images. Promotional stills, though rarely copyrighted, were sometimes still given notices. Short of actually being able to see the rear of the page (and thus check for notices) we can't be sure either way. I'm putting this on hold until all of the images can be thoroughly vetted. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 06:02, 21 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- @Crisco 1492: do you know which images of Bacall in commons are already vetted and can be used appropriately? I would hate to see this put on hold if I can easily just swap out images. LADY LOTUS • TALK 14:14, 22 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- We just need what, at FAC, is called an image review. I'd generally be able to do it, but RL is fairly busy right now. I can tell you, however, that We hope is really good at this, and could probably help you find more than you need. (BTW, the main image here is an example of the type I'm concerned of; we lost an FP of Katherine Hepburn because it didn't have the back). — Crisco 1492 (talk) 15:05, 22 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Not at all sure about the headshot as there's no information about when it was done nor where it came from. I can try to find a copy of it if possible and we might be able to fill in the blanks. I'll take a hard look through Commons at the Bacall photos today and nominate any that are questionable for deletion review there. The rest look exactly like what they are, screenshots from movie trailers, and shouldn't be a problem. I can also have a look through various places for more photos of her that might work and upload them at Commons. We hope (talk) 15:18, 22 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

They were colorized and that case, Columbia let the non-colorized version lapse into PD while taking a new registration on the colorized ones. There, the older clips were PD but not the color ones.

TCM has another trailer-this one in color-they say is the original. I viewed that one also and saw no copyright notations on it either. We hope (talk) 22:20, 22 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- For To Have and Have Not page 13. Copyright L 13056 on January 20, 1945-so it appears this wasn't filed until after the film had premiered. We hope (talk) 17:10, 22 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- For Dark Passage page 48 Copyright LP1232 on September 27, 1947. And it looks like this went public before it was filed also. We hope (talk) 17:16, 22 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- So, what does that mean for the images you have already gone over? Which ones are ok to use? Does that mean that File:Lauren Bacall and Humphrey Bogart in To Have and Have Not Trailer 2.jpg needs to be removed? LADY LOTUS • TALK 17:38, 22 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I was trying to confirm that the two earlier films were available to the public before they were copyrighted. October 12, 1944. To Have and Have Not showing at a New York Theater. September 25, 1947 Dark Passage showing at a Connecticut theater 2 days before copyright was filed. I'd say this means they're in the public domain because we have proof that the film was "published" before copyright was filed. We hope (talk) 17:44, 22 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Excellent! Thank you so much. Only possible issue is the publicity shot. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 23:52, 22 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Let me note all of this on the Commons files so nobody "trips" over what we discovered. Can do the remaining movie trailer there also because I watched that too and no copyright notice. If you think you can do something with this, I checked the renewals for 1974 and 1975--not renewed. Lantern has some copies of the magazine, but unfortunately not (yet) including 1947. All the copies I found of the publicity photo didn't have any information about where the photo came from or when. We hope (talk) 00:34, 23 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Brilliant. What do you think, Lady Lotus? Colour magazine cover? One of the other images of Becall? — Crisco 1492 (talk) 00:40, 23 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Here's where I start earning my money. :) The How to Marry a Millionaire trailer was able to be seen at TCM (link above) and there's no copyright message. The one in black and white at IMDB has none either. Both have some different material in them; no idea why there's a b&w and color one. Have included the TCM link to all screen shots from "Millionaire", but have not yet heard what the licenses for the 2 older ones should be changed to. We hope (talk) 12:42, 23 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Under the pre-1976 law, copyright began upon publication, provided that the appropriate notice was included. A work that was not published could be registered and that would also begin the copyright. Although there were certain benefits to registration, it was not required for initial copyright (the first 28 years), so the fact that the registrations in this case were after publication is irrelevant. see Copyright Basics, page 6 . . Jim - Jameslwoodward (talk to me • contribs) 13:40, 23 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Thanks, Jim. So far, I can replace the To Have and Have Not screenshot with one published in an old movie magazine and will look for one for Dark Passage. We hope (talk) 14:02, 23 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- File:Bogart and Bacall To Have and Have Not.jpg This can replace the To Have and Have Not screenshot. We hope (talk) 14:25, 23 September 2014 (UTC) Done[reply]
- File:Bacall and Bogart Dark Passage.jpg This can be used for Dark Passage. We hope (talk) 16:36, 23 September 2014 (UTC) Done thank you so much! what about the image from "Millionaire", was that ok? LADY LOTUS • TALK 17:05, 23 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I checked the trailer and there's no copyright marks. Last night, I added the link where it can be viewed to all screenshots from the film, so that should be good to go. We hope (talk) 17:08, 23 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- See if you like either of these File:Lauren Bacall Gary Cooper Bright Leaf.jpg or File:Lauren Bacall 1945.jpg to replace the publicity photo. I had no luck finding out where it came from or when. We hope (talk) 17:15, 23 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Ew I love the 1945 one, I just now replaced it. LADY LOTUS • TALK 17:46, 23 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- That's from an US Army publication--all those who produced the magazine were servicemen, so the license is right, and the AFRS is OK also because that was a US government entity. I think you're good to go! :) Nice that someone's going to be happy because I have to send all those older screenshots to deletion review and that's probably going to make some people unhappy. We hope (talk) 17:56, 23 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Well I greatly appreciate all your help! And they'll just have to be unhappy, that's what happens when you upload something with a bad license. Thank you again :) LADY LOTUS • TALK 18:20, 23 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

- Nominator(s): Ojorojo (talk) 17:46, 23 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I am nominating this because I believe it meets the criteria for a featured list. It covers Hendrix's original recordings and is separate from the Jimi Hendrix posthumous discography. It has been completely revised with the addition of new sections and many new sources within the last seven months. It is extensively referenced with inline citations and goes beyond WP:DISCOGSTYLE and most FL discographies. Recommendations made during the peer review regarding the format have been incorporated and it has been thoroughly fact-checked. In the past, comments have been made about tendentious editing, ownership, and vandalism of Jimi Hendrix articles. However, they now seem to be stable—Jimi Hendrix and Are You Experienced have been promoted to Featured Articles and several others are nominated as GAs. —Ojorojo (talk) 17:46, 23 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Question, would the Jimi Hendrix Interview Album count as a release??Coal town guy (talk) 18:14, 23 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Short answer: No, it is not within the timeframe of this discography, because it was released posthumously. Long(er) answer: By definition, a discography is "a descriptive catalog of musical recordings". If the release doesn't include music, it usually isn't included. Biographers McDermott (1992), Roby (2002), and Shadwick (2002) don't list interview albums in their Hendrix discographies. Shapiro (1990) lists two under "Miscellaneous"—a BBC transcription LP (1976) and Jimi Hendrix: The Interview album (Rhino 1980s). Portions of interviews are included in the film See My Music Talking (1968) and several posthumous videos, along with musical performances. —Ojorojo (talk) 14:11, 24 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Support Wow, you did a great job on this one, I don't see any problems with it. It always feels a bit weird for me to just support without having any comments that have to be resolved, but that is the case here. Though I will ask you, why is a filmography included on this page, as it regards Hendrix' discography?--Music26/11 15:19, 20 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- It appears to be the accepted FL discography practice (see David Bowie discography, Led Zeppelin discography, Nirvana discography, Red Hot Chili Peppers discography, The White Stripes discography, etc), unless there is enough for a separate videography (Madonna videography, Beyoncé videography, etc.). The proposed style guide doesn't address videos; under "What should not be included" it lists "Non-musical releases or works." Hendrix's appearances in the films are essentially limited to musical performances and are listed along with his published discographies. Since these predate videos, the term "Filmography" was used. Maybe rename it "Music performances in films" or similar? —Ojorojo (talk) 16:40, 20 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Perhaps that should be better, to avoid confusion with acting appearances.--Music26/11 02:50, 21 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Support — Looks good. Jimknut (talk) 18:03, 7 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
CommentSupport — This looks good and thorough, but I do have one query: I notice that you give two sources for the UK and US peak chart positions, however under the "other" peak positions, none of the footnotes you give has actually been referenced. I can't see that they are explicitly sourced elsewhere in the article. Regards, --Noswall59 (talk) 09:38, 21 September 2014 (UTC).[reply]
- The references for the "Other" charts were listed in a subsection "Other charts" immediately below "Citations" and above "References".[11] However, I can see how they would be missed, so they are now in "Citations" (by using inline cites for the "Other" columns). Hope this makes it clearer without overburdening the citations. —Ojorojo (talk) 17:12, 21 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

- Nominator(s): Godot13 (talk) 00:14, 9 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I am nominating this for featured list because... The nominated list briefly discusses U.S. state coats of arms, distinctions between arms and seals, and some of the notable people involved with design (and some of the mistakes that were made). The authority and regulation of arms/seals are described. The illustrative center-point of the nomination are the restored full color illustrations from State Arms of the Union, by Henry Mitchell, published by Louis Prang in 1876. Sources indicate that only 20 copies of this book (of less than 10 pages) are reported to exist in libraries across the United States. The illustrations are matched with Bureau of Engraving and Printing proofs of the State arms. Godot13 (talk) 00:14, 9 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Comments from Reywas92
edit- I noticed the article's title has been changed; I would suggest just Historical coats of arms of the U.S. states, as the article is about the coats of arms in general, not just those specifically in the book.
- Heraldic, coat, and jousting in the first section should be lowercase, though most of that paragraph isn't exactly relevant. Reywas92Talk 13:15, 23 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Reywas92- I've edited the paragraph to remove less relevant information (and correct the caps issues). I am concerned that removing the date from the title would create a scope far broader than intended. Thanks for your comments. They are, as always, appreciated.-Godot13 (talk) 18:36, 23 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comments from Nikkimaria
editAssorted comments. I don't spend much time at FLC so if anything is way off base just say so.
- Given both the length of the article, I would suggest expanding the lead
- The last sentence of Arms versus seal is not a complete sentence - corrected
- First sentence of design should not have mid-sentence caps, those aren't proper nouns in this context. There are several other instances of inappropriate capitalization - corrected, along with several others
- Why use DMY for a US topic? MDY is more common in the US - I agree, however I hope that this list will be part of a Featured Topic in the near future. Three other FLs I have written/contributed to (that would be in the same proposed topic) are all in the DMY format. Trying to be consistent.--Godot13 (talk) 21:46, 11 September 2014 (UTC) [reply]
- Generally I think a bit more copyediting is in order - the prose could flow better and be clearer at times. The Instances... section in particular needs some massaging. See also "a similar copy of this book was described by the Antiquarian Booksellers Association described" and other issues
- Why do you have complete legal citations inline when all other citations are footnoted? - corrected
- Suggest using {{convert}} to translate measurements - done
- "20 copies exist in all libraries across the United States" - any non-US?
- Don't include links in See also that were already included in the article. - corrected Nikkimaria (talk) 05:08, 9 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Thanks Nikkimaria for the comments, I will work on it over the next few days. Could you clarify two things please: "Given both the length of the article," was there something else also? You suggest more copyediting in a particular section, but don't mention which... Thanks again.-Godot13 (talk) 22:44, 9 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- I was going to mention the amount of "readable prose" (which differs from byte count), but then noticed that this article has proportionately more readable prose than most lists I see.

- Hi Nikkimaria- I think I've addressed most of your comments in italics above. I could not find any comprehensive library tools for searching outside the US so I'm not sure about that figure. I've done some copyediting and rewriting. I added two or three sentences to the lead (not enough?) If there are more specifics, or I haven't been clear above, please let me know. Many thanks--Godot13 (talk) 20:54, 12 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Hey Godot, I wonder if you could expand the second para of the lead a bit more? As to non-US holdings...I'm kind of torn. I realize that finding such holdings can be quite difficult; however, since Worldcat does show at least one non-US holding, I don't think we can just ignore the issue. Nikkimaria (talk) 18:41, 14 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Hi Nikkimaria- I tweaked the lead a bit, and removed the Worldcat fact/ref. I feel less confidant making statements about the entire world's library system and their holdings... And honestly, I don't even know what "20 copies" means (i.e., where does that rank in terms of scarce, rare, extremely rare, etc.)--Godot13 (talk) 23:19, 14 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comments from Lady Lotus
editA lot of my work is film related, but from what I could tell everything was very nicely sourced, the only things that I would mention is that maybe the images be the same size for consistency. One table's images are 125px and another table is 200px. Also, the names from the sentence "A few of those involved in the design of state arms and seals include (but is not limited to):" I would narrow down some of the names just so it doesn't borderline WP:LISTCRUFT. And then add alt text to File:Great Seal of Ohio actual view.jpg, after that, I support. LADY LOTUS • TALK 18:51, 11 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Hi Lady Lotus-I changed the image size as much as possible to be a uniform 200px, but I had to alter the Colonial Rhode Island size a bit so as not to throw off the spacing of the table. I re-enlarged the lead image only because at 220px the title was not clearly visible (there is some discretion over image size). Added the alt text, and reduced the list of state seal/arms contributors to the most historically notable. I hope these changes meet with your approval. Thank you again for reviewing this list.--Godot13 (talk) 08:33, 12 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comments from SNUGGUMS
edit- Looks very nice, I just have one concern: If this is a US-related topic, why is the article using Day-Month-Year format when US standards are Month-Day-Year? I see Nikkimaria also asked this. Snuggums (talk / edits) 03:03, 21 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Hi Snuggums- Thanks for taking a look. I understand the concern and I tried to address it above in my response above. I have written/re-written three featured lists on U.S. currency and they each use the DMY format. It has always been my intention to create a featured topic on U.S. Banknotes. While not directly about currency, this list does include (for comparison) the engraved arms found on the reverse of the first three series of U.S. National Bank Notes. I would like to include it in the featured topic in the future and it is strongly encouraged that the formatting be consistent throughout. I am not saying that I absolutely opposed to changing this, but I fear it will create issues down the road. I hope that answers your question.

Former Australian captain, Richie Benaud, was one of the best cricket all-rounder of his time—the first to take 200 wickets and make 2,000 runs at Test level. He took 248 wickets in Test cricket, including five-wickets hauls on 16 different occasions.

Nothing of major concern here, and I trust that you will address my comments as needed, so I will give my support to this well-developed list. Nicely done! WikiRedactor (talk) 15:21, 27 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Have you considered moving the EP/mixtape sources to be next to the release dates instead of the titles? It makes it a little neater.
- Done. Simon (talk) 09:08, 2 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Think about rounding the sales figure to the nearest thousand. Even though the bulk of sales in 2014 are digital and can be tallied directly, Nielsen SoundScan only tracks a sub-set of stores instead of all of them, so statistically this figure can't be 100% accurate (plus she's quite popular and it's a new album, so the figure will change frequently and that degree of accuracy is unlikely).
- Done. Simon (talk) 09:08, 2 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- What regions do the release dates refer to? In other discographies, next to the date is often listed (US), (AU), (UK), etc.
- Done. Simon (talk) 09:08, 2 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- "Following the release, Azalea aligned herself with rapper T.I.,". I'm not sure what align means here. Could you clarify the sentence a bit? --Prosperosity (talk) 00:32, 2 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I am nominating this for featured list because I believe it meets all aspects of the FL criteria and comprehensively covers GTA V's many year-end accolades. I had a peer review open prior to this nomination that got no comments and went stale, so I can only assume that this list is good to go all the way. CR4ZE (t • c) 02:20, 31 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comments from Tezero
editIt's close. My concerns are only stylistic/organizational:
- Keep consistent whether you link all instances of a publication or just the first one in the sources. For example, Metacritic uses the former style, and Destructoid the latter.
- I'm concerned about the allocation of information into the third, fourth, and fifth paragraphs of the lead. Why is the Best Xbox Game accolade in the third paragraph but the Best British Game in the fifth? Why are some graphics/technical-related awards in the fifth and others in the fourth? I mean, maybe there's some hidden rationale I'm not seeing, but to me it looks kind of haphazard. Why not try an organizational style like this?
- First paragraph as normal: anticipation and release.
- Second paragraph as normal: reviews. (God, it sickens me to even look at this because I dislike Western open-world games and the general "we're so edgy and jackass-ish" GTA style so much, but whatever. Most people don't.)
- Third paragraph: All awards for the game in general, whether among all games or among all Xbox 360 or British games.
- Fourth paragraph: All awards for specific aspects of the product.
- "GameTrailers' Game of the Year Awards ... Top Three" - Ambiguous. Were they unable to decide beyond their three favorites, is it traditional that they only narrow it down to three, or did it only make it up to the top three before being knocked out? You might want to include a footnote to elaborate on which of the first two it is, or if it's the third, just say "3rd Place" or something. "Top Three" in that context makes me cringe like I do when my dad touts UIUC as having a "top 3" Computer Science program (he contrasts this with "just" having a Top 5 one) when it is unequivocally in third place.
Tezero (talk) 18:26, 1 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- I don't like your attitude, so I'm oppo- Nah, just kidding. Support. Great job; maybe I should try this game sometime. (I actually have the GTA collection from Steam, although I've only played a couple hours each of GTAIV and San Andreas and haven't touched the rest. This one wasn't included.) Tezero (talk) 02:43, 7 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment This looks like the first of its kind. So it's a great opportunity to create a prototype for others. My main issues are structure and some content changes.
That's my two cents. I know it seems like a lot to do but I'm only trying to make the list the best it can be. Cowlibob (talk) 13:33, 8 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
@Cowlibob:, I think I've covered everything. I moved release dates as you suggested, but I didn't reshuffle the other paragraphs. The end of year awards were handed out alongside all the other awards so I thought the way it was arranged was fine. I'm happy to hear thoughts to the contrary. CR4ZE (t • c) 14:41, 26 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@CR4ZE:If it was same awards ceremony it's fine. Made a few fixes on ref formatting and changing some sources. Good Games most memorable moment according to the source was "Looking out over Los Santos as Trevor" not Friends reunited mission so please change that.

Comments from SNUGGUMS
editLooking pretty good so far, here's my 2¢:
- "scheduled to be released in Q3/Q4 2014"..... just say late 2014 for simplicity sake
- "Two characters, Trevor Philips and Lamar Davis, received numerous nominations for Best Character, and Lamar won such an award from Giant Bomb"..... I think multiple nominations would be better, and try with Giant Bomb deeming Lamar the game's best character
- For some of the awards this didn't win, maybe include in the lead who the winners were.
- Metacritic should not be italicized (it's a website)
- IGN should not be italicized either (same reasons as Metacritic)
- Digital Spy should also not be italicized for previously stated reasons
- Publisher for The Daily Telegraph is Telegraph Media Group
- Game Revolution owner/publisher is Net Revolution
- Publisher for Wired (magazine) and Ars Technica is Advance Publications
- GameSpot and Giant Bomb are owned by CBS Interactive
- Publisher for The Escapist (magazine) is Defy Media
- Publisher for Entertainment Weekly and Time (magazine) is Time Inc.
- Publisher for Electronic Gaming Monthly is EGM Media
- I think you meant to link to Polygon (website), and publisher is Vox Media
Not much to do here. Snuggums (talk / edits) 17:22, 18 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Thanks SNUGGUMS, I've tended to everything here. Metacritic/IGN etc. are italicised by default because they're using the work= field. I'm not aware of any policy that says they can't be italicised, and I'd rather keep it consistent with other video game websites like Polygon and Edge, which are normally italicised. CR4ZE (t • c) 12:46, 20 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- My pleasure. I now support this for FL. For the record, a way to un-italicize terms would be by putting them in "publisher field". For example: "publisher=Digital Spy. Hearst Corporation". Snuggums (talk / edits) 15:43, 20 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Comments from PresN
edit- "the Spike VGX"? Shouldn't that be "the Spike VGX Awards"?
- Link Inside Gaming Awards, since you do in the table
- The Platinum PlayStation Award is given out by Sony entirely based on sales- it's like an album being certified Platinum, except it's only for PlayStation games. Your call if you want to mention that.
- "from Spike VGX" - well, you dropped the "the" this time, so be consistent
- When sorting by result, some of the places (fourth, fifth, eighth) are sorting below nominated
- Yeah... you can't just link the first instance of a term in a sortable table. You will need to link each instance of Spike VGX 2013, etc. - the one you linked may or may not be first in the table anymore once you sort on a column.
- You have the award for "GamesRadar's Game of the year 2013" down as "Game of the YEar"
- Sorting for recipient is messed up- the songs are sorting by ", and names are sorting by first name instead of last. To solve: put the songs down as {{sort|song name|"song name"}} and the people down as {{sortname|first|last|optional article title if different}}
- If a source doesn't have a specific author you leave the field out, rather than putting "GameSpot staff" or "Staff" etc. - it's taken as given.
- Snuggums missed one - GamesRadar is published by Future plc
- Slant Magazine, as an online magazine, should be italicized in references- stick in "work=".

Support, good job. My only remaining comment would be that I would have preferred if the template format was the one used in List of Mystery Dungeon video games, since the one you used puts more emphasis on which systems the games came out for even though most of them only came out for one, but that's well outside the scope of an FLC review since it's an aesthetic judgement and the one you used works just fine. Just something to consider if you make another list like this in the future. --PresN
- Just chipping in here to say that when I put those templates in at the time the List was being based off List of One Piece video games and List of Harvest Moon video games. Both of which were fairly new Featured Lists at the time. The template you showed had only just recently been created and due to the focus of that template appearing to be on the release dates in different regions and with PAL being combined as one instead of separated into it's own regions (as seen in EU and AUS in the list with differing release dates), as a result I decided to stick with the ones currently in place. --Lightlowemon (talk) 16:10, 27 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I'm not sure if I'm allowed to support this nomination given I was the nominator from the previous archive. Nightwolf you've done an amazing job updating the article with new games, fixing all the templates and bringing the article up to the current guidelines and cleaning up the references. I'm so happy to finally see this list looking like it'll reach featured status, it was really disheartening to get only one support back then, and since, life has happened. I have two points of recommendation though, it may be worth mentioning that certain online surfaces have been discontinued, such as in the Heat the Soul games and those that require the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection, which was discontinued earlier this year (I know all Pokemon games were affected, I assume Bleach was the same) I'd do this in the same line as the online mobility was announced something along the line of "Multiplayer functionality was available, however as of <date> have been discontinued.". I also feel that any pre-order purchase goods should be mentioned if a reference can be found. I noticed the one for the Kon 'purse' I put up the website died, but for Bleach GC: Tasogare ni Mamieru Shinigami I know there was a Gamecube skin released in the reference used. I'd also like to point out that the mentioning of specific character counts is odd for me. I'm not sure if that was me, you or someone else, I initially only did this for the Jump games since they were not set within the Bleach universe. --Lightlowemon (talk) 16:10, 27 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- @Lightlowemon: I'd say that, given all the work Nightwolf has done since the last nomination (five years ago!), there shouldn't be any problem with you supporting. JimmyBlackwing (talk) 03:46, 28 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

- Thanks

- I don't think we should rely on a line in the intro to explain the date change; they should be specified by stating which states are old style. Likewise, the treatment of old style dates in the intro can be improved.

- Why are there gaps from 1801 to 1810, and 1917 to 1923? Just because these gaps might be explained in the intro, there still needs to be in-line explanations about them. Don't expect the user to have to jump back and forth within the table.
- How about now.--Tomcat (7) 12:00, 26 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Why include a political party column in the first table? This might make sense if it was actually linked to the other tables, but it's not, so the column goes entirely unused.
- Because it will look too odd and small. I would keep it consistent. Secondly, the Russian Provisional Republic was a temporary republic which chronologically neither belongs to the Russian Empire, nor the Soviet Union
- Except it's not consistent; none of the earlier tables have a Cabinet column. I would say remove unused columns, or combine everything into one table. There's no need to create a false consistency.

- Why are some acting?
- The answer would be the same as for all acting politicians. Acting politicians come to office after a tragic event, after resignation, etc. Vladimir Nikolayevich Kokovtsov was acting after the assassination of Stolypin
- In the lists of U.S. governors I've made, I made sure to be very clear why a position changed hands, if not through normal electoral means. So if someone was acting, the list should inform us if it was because the previous person resigned, or died, or what not. This should not just be a simple list of the people who held the office; it must also educate the reader as to how they came to occupy it.
- Added notes. Not sure why Kokovtsov became acting on 2 September 1911, probably ten assassination attempts of Stolypin by socialists was the reason to change the chairman. --Tomcat (7) 10:10, 26 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

- I'm concerned about scope. The Russian Empire, Russian Federation, and Russian Republic were independent countries, as was the Russian SFSR for five years. But then it became part of a larger country, and thus its head of government was not analogous to the head of government of a country. --Golbez (talk) 16:26, 23 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Please clarify what you exactly mean. Especially the last sentence is not quite understandable. But I try to answer of what I understood. This article does not list secretaries of the Soviet Union, we have a separate article. The Russian SFSR with the future Soviet Union is the successor state of the Russian Empire, as is the Russian Federation of RSFSR.
- I mean... the Russian SFSR was not an independent country. So its head of government had a much different definition than that of a country. Did the head of government of the Soviet Union have different responsibilities than the head of government of the Russian SFSR or the Russian Federation? My point is, you're jumping between independent nation and subunit. I know the Russian Federation was the successor state to the Soviet Union but that's not what I'm talking about here. I'm saying, the offices are not analogous. One is the head of government of a country, one is the head of government a part of a country. No one would combine a governor and president into the same list with a U.S. state, even though they're both chief executives of their respective areas. However, I don't think this is quite a huge issue. After all, the only solution would be to split it out, which I might recommend, but there are enough other issues with the list that that can be tabled for now. --Golbez (talk) 05:39, 24 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- "Did the head of government of the Soviet Union have different responsibilities than the head of government of the Russian SFSR" - probably yes; since Rykov the chairmen of USSR and RSFSR varied. Lenin, Rykov, Molotov, Stalin, Malenkov, Bulganin, Khrushchev, Kosygin, Tikhonov, Ryzhkov, Pavlov and Silayev. [21] lists heads of government of RSFSR as Russian heads of government.--Tomcat (7) 17:24, 24 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- I'm withdrawing this objection. The offices are not purely analogous, but the only other option is to split out the list. And, this isn't a list of prime ministers of Russia, or or chief ministers... it's a list of the heads of government of Russia, which means it's less concerned about the actual office or title. I mean, heck, the office of Prime Minister of Russia probably has less in common with being a member of the Supreme Privy Council than the office of chairman of the RSFSR had to do with the head of government of the Soviet Union, yet they still belong on this list. --Golbez (talk) 16:26, 25 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- "Did the head of government of the Soviet Union have different responsibilities than the head of government of the Russian SFSR" - probably yes; since Rykov the chairmen of USSR and RSFSR varied. Lenin, Rykov, Molotov, Stalin, Malenkov, Bulganin, Khrushchev, Kosygin, Tikhonov, Ryzhkov, Pavlov and Silayev. [21] lists heads of government of RSFSR as Russian heads of government.--Tomcat (7) 17:24, 24 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- I mean... the Russian SFSR was not an independent country. So its head of government had a much different definition than that of a country. Did the head of government of the Soviet Union have different responsibilities than the head of government of the Russian SFSR or the Russian Federation? My point is, you're jumping between independent nation and subunit. I know the Russian Federation was the successor state to the Soviet Union but that's not what I'm talking about here. I'm saying, the offices are not analogous. One is the head of government of a country, one is the head of government a part of a country. No one would combine a governor and president into the same list with a U.S. state, even though they're both chief executives of their respective areas. However, I don't think this is quite a huge issue. After all, the only solution would be to split it out, which I might recommend, but there are enough other issues with the list that that can be tabled for now. --Golbez (talk) 05:39, 24 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Thank you for your comments. Regards. --Tomcat (7) 22:14, 23 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Please clarify what you exactly mean. Especially the last sentence is not quite understandable. But I try to answer of what I understood. This article does not list secretaries of the Soviet Union, we have a separate article. The Russian SFSR with the future Soviet Union is the successor state of the Russian Empire, as is the Russian Federation of RSFSR.
- Too many redlinks. One assumes the head of government of Russia is sufficiently notable that everyone in it should have an article.
- A new one to add: There's a difference between "Independent" (like Zubkov) and "No parties" (like in the imperial era). All the more reason to remove party from the imperial era, and be specific what a dash means in the modern era, perhaps simply replacing it with "Independent". --Golbez (talk) 05:39, 24 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Removed the column. I think the dash should stay, as it may confuse the reader.--Tomcat (7) 22:02, 25 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose. The list itself looks OK, although Kerensky's resignation date is wrong and there is no explanation for the additonal column 'Cabinet' for later governments, but the lead is badly written, and in parts I find it incomprehensible.
- "Since its official commencement, around 57 people had governed the Russian government, one of the country's highest organs, which is composed of ministries, such as Ministry of Foreign Affairs or Ministry of Culture." "had governed the Russian government" does not make sense and "one of the country's highest organs" is superfluous. Perhaps "Approximately 57 people have been head of the Russian government since its establishment in 1726. The government is composed of ministries such as Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Culture."
- Fixed the date. Reworded the sentence
- "The virtual chairman of government was a member of the Supreme Privy Council" What is a virtual chairman and what is the difference between the government and the Supreme Privy Council as according the table below they were the same.
- Changed to factual
- "The factual chairman of government" I still do not understand what a factual chairman is. Why not just "The chairman of government"? Dudley Miles (talk) 17:39, 13 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Done
- "The factual chairman of government" I still do not understand what a factual chairman is. Why not just "The chairman of government"? Dudley Miles (talk) 17:39, 13 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

- It would be better to settle on one date format with an explanation in a note rather than showing both as e.g. 8 (20).
- I don't agree, as it would be confusing, especially when using one style. Will resume later.--Tomcat (7) 13:12, 2 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- "created on 8 (19) February 1726 by Empress Catherine, but usual ministry duties were implemented into the Committee of Ministers, which was established on 8 (20) September 1802 in accordance with the manifest of Emperor Alexander II." This is worded as if duties were 'implemented' in 1726 into a body which was not created until 1802. What do 'implemented into' and 'manifest' mean? Perhaps created 1726, but from 1802 ministerial duties were delegated to a Committee of Ministers.
- They were introduced in 1802, but the office was created in 1726. In several sources the document is called "manifest". Changed implemented to introduced.
- "but usual ministry duties were introduced in the Committee of Ministers, which was established on 8 (20) September 1802" This still does not sound right. Suggest "and from 8 (20) September 1802 ministerial duties were allocated by the Committee of Ministers" Dudley Miles (talk) 17:39, 13 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Done

- the word 'count' as part of title should be capitalised.
- Done. It was changed by a copyeditor, so I thought it was correct.
- "Eight years since the inauguration of the manifest" What does this mean? Eight years after?
- Done.
- Entity is an odd word in this context. Body would be better.
- Done.
- "The Council of Ministers consisted of chairmen of the State Council and the Committee of Ministers" What these bodies were and their relation to the government is not explained.
- I did not include that as it would be off-topic. --Tomcat (7) 13:00, 21 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- "The first session ended on 11 (23) December 1882, after insufficient number of files" I do not understand this.
- Reworded, added English source.
- "The first session ended on 11 (23) December 1882, after the number of files to the Council greatly decreased." I still do not understand. Why is the ending of one of the sessions worth mentioning in the lead? Dudley Miles (talk) 17:39, 13 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- The source at the end of the sentence says "From 1863 the number of files received by the Council significantly reduced, it assembled more and more rarely, and after December 11 (23), 1882 its sessions stopped to take place." It means that the Council became stagnant, so another session was opened. I think it is important to mention the two sessions.--Tomcat (7) 13:00, 21 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

- Reworded, added English source.
- "the liquidation of the committee" Were they murdered? If not, abolition would be a better word.
- Done.
- "the two Minister-Chairmen became Georgy Lvov from the Constitutional Democratic Party and Alexander Kerensky from the Socialist-Revolutionary Party" This is ungrammatical. Perhaps "Georgy Lvov from the Constitutional Democratic Party and Alexander Kerensky from the Socialist-Revolutionary Party became joint Minister-Chairmen."
- Done.
- " Latter entity took the previous name "Council of Ministers" This is ungrammatical.
- I changed to "The latter".
- "and non-partisans and acting office holders followed next." What does this mean?
- Reworded.
- " Since 8 May 2012, Dmitry Medvedev governs the office." Governs the office does not sound right. Perhaps "Dmitry Medvedev has been the prime minister since 8 May 2012."

Edit Conflict: I actually strong opposed this as a copyvio due to some phrases being lifted from [www.photographers-resource.co.uk], but it appears that the phrase I looked for you had written almost 6 years ago in Muchelney Abbey itself. You should probably note on the talk page of the list that that site is copying WP phrases without attribution, and maybe let them know that that's not actually allowed, since they're claiming it as their own. The phrase I looked for was "and inside a great chamber with ornate fireplace, carved settle and stained glass, and timber roof"- if you google that the photographers-resource page for the abbey is one of the first hits.

- "It has a broad remit of managing the historic environment of England and advises the relevant Secretary of State on policy and in individual cases such as registering listed buildings and scheduled ancient monuments. " This sentence seems to get lost in the middle. Presumably EH advises on policy and acts executively on listing, but this is not clear.
- EH advises both on policy and individual cases. It has no power to list buildings it is the secretary of state that does this (although EH advises and then records the decision). I've added "both" is this clearer?— Rod talk 21:54, 20 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Cleeve - could conventual be linked?
- I'm not sure what to link it to. Have changed to ancillary buildings - as these were accommodation and refectory buildings etc.— Rod talk 21:54, 20 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Dunster. "The base and shaft which probably date from the 15th century remain, however the head of the cross has been lost." This does not sound grammatically correct to me - maybe change "however" to "but" (or semi-colon after "remain"). I would also put a comma after shaft and century.

- Stanton Drew. A bit curious to say the Cove is 1000 years older than the circles without giving the age of either. I think this is vital information.
- I agree this would be really nice to know but none of the sources I have looked at are specific about dates. Neolithic is the term generally used. This BBC report and this from the local council based on this study give the 1,000 year figure.— Rod talk 21:54, 20 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

- no dablinksY
- checklinks okY
- alt text is needed for all images
- reflinks okY
- redir checker okY
- no copyvios according to earwigY
- no overlinkingY
- dashes are okY
- while redlinks are obviously acceptable on a work in progress like WP, I have been chipped for them in FLs myself, and think there are a total of nine redlinked guns, as well as the "list of avisos" redlink. I'll leave it to the moderators to decide if that is too many redlinks for a list of this size, but I'd suggest creating the gun articles, even if they are stubs.
- no citation for the propulsion for Mainz
- Oops, good catch.
- not clear why some terms are linked in some cells of tables, and others are not. The types of engines in the light cruisers section, for example. I suggest that these are terms people are familiar with, and don't need linking. But given they are not sortable tables, if you are going to link, just link the first mention in each table.
- I doubt most readers know what a steam turbine is - I always link engine types on first use. There was some overlinking in some of the tables, but I've removed those now.
- "were intended to break Versailles" needs rewording, "were intended to break the Versailles restrictions"? Perhaps a little more explanation?
- See how it reads now.
- I'm unsure of whether the tables meet accessibility requirements, but will also leave that for the moderators or reviewers with better knowledge of what that looks like.
- I'd assume they're fine - I cribbed them from the already-FL sublists.
- given the long reference list, I suggest you use the refbegin and refend templates to reduce text size
- Fair enough
- I don't think you need ISBN and OCLC for Conway's 1922-46, Gröner, Halpern, Staff or Tarrant, one book identifier is all that is needed.
- Good point
- Lenton German Warships of the Second World War (1975) pp. 65–66 mentions three "scout cruisers" Sp.1-3. Only one was laid down, and the other two cancelled, but I think they should be included for completeness? The rationale for their design is described in some detail on p. 29, they were originally planned as 1936A (Mob) destroyers Z.40–42.
- They're really more like large destroyers -and Groener and Conway's include them with the destroyers, not the cruisers, so I followed their lead.
- Lenton (p. 55) states Emden (the latter one) was scuttled Heikendorfer Bight 3 May 1945 after being bombed by RAF Kiel 14 April 1945
- Lenton (p. 57) states Karlsruhe sunk 10 April 1940 (by HMS Truant), Köln bombed by USAAF Wilhemshaven 30 March 1945 and scrapped 1946, Königsberg bombed RN aircraft Bergen 10 January 1940, salved 1943, capsized 22 September 1944 and abandoned
- Lenton (p. 58) states Leipzig scuttled southwest of Lister 20 July 1946
- Lenton (p. 60) states Admiral Hipper scrapped 1946
- Lenton (p. 64) states Prinz Eugen expended as target Kwajalein 15 November 1947, and Seydlitz scuttled incomplete Königsberg 10 April 1945, salved as Russian Poltava, construction abandoned 1950, also Lützow sold to Russians 1940, completion abandoned May 1941, bombed German aircraft Leningrad April 1942, floating battery Tallin 1942, Petropavlovsk 1944, construction abandoned 1950
- I don't know what you want me to do with the several points above - this info (though from other sources) is present in all of the individual ship articles and in the relevant sublists, but it seems all too detailed to be in this one. And there are several errors: in the case of Karlsruhe, Lenton is wrong - it was the 9th, not the 10th, Koenigsberg was sunk on 10 April, not 10 January (and was raised in Jan. 1942, not 1943), etc.
- Lenton (p. 65) states light cruisers "M", "N" and "O" were scrapped on slip 1941–43, last three cancelled.
- According to Groener, O was never laid down and the other two were broken up in 1939 after the start of the war.
- Lenton (pp. 381–384) lists 11 auxiliary cruisers, including the Kormoran that famously accounted for the HMAS Sydney (D48) in a battle of mutual destruction. They were Orion, Atlantis, Pinguin, Widder, Thor, Stier, Komet, Kormoran, Michel, Coronel, and Hansa. If they are not to be included in this list, it needs to be explained in the lead in terms of defining the scope.
- Those are only the WWII raiders - they are nonetheless not proper cruisers, which is to say they're not purpose-built warships. I've added a note explaining that.

Lead paragraph comments
- The first sentence has about twice as many words as it needs to be.
- Why start these sorts of sentences with the dates? "By the 1910s, the protected and unprotected cruisers had been withdrawn from active service, though some continued on in secondary roles."
- Moved to the end of the sentence
- "Most of the armored and light cruisers saw action during World War I in all of the major theaters of the conflict, ..." Again, too wordy. "Most of the armored and light cruisers saw action in the major theaters of World War I ..."
- Good suggestion
- "The Treaty of Versailles forced Germany to surrender most of its remaining vessels and to retain only six old pre-dreadnought battleships and six old light cruisers on active duty." "to ... to", etc
- See how it reads now.
- You're using "most" and "many" a lot
- Switched one of the "most"s to "the majority"
- "twenty years of age" is stilted. Why not "after twenty years of service"?
- Well, the 20-year timer started at the launching, not the commissioning, so counting years of service isn't accurate.
- "It began with the first new light cruiser, Emden, in 1921 ..." began and first are redundant
- Removed the "first"
- "Mid-1935s" ... really?
- That's embarrassing :(
- Are the naval name changes needed in the lead?
- I figured it was worth noting
