List of awards and nominations received by WALL-E[edit]

Nominator(s): Diaa abdelmoneim (talk)
Toolbox

I am nominating this for featured list because WALL-E is a great movie with a multitude of Awards that deserves a great page. The list was split from a longer List of Pixar awards and nominations (feature films) list and was tweaked to conform to the FL criterias. This is my first FL nomination and I hope for it to be a success. Any comments or criticism are encouraged and I'm awaiting your suggestions. Concerning the right to post the nomination: I am the biggest contributor to the original list it was split from and the list before that and have therefore the right to post the nomination.

Resolved comments from Truco
Lead
  • Eventhough Walt Disney Pictures pushed for an Academy Award for Best Picture nomination,[6] it was not nominated, provoking controversy about the Academy deliberately restricting WALL-E to the Best Animated Feature category,[7] American film critic Peter Travers commented that "If there was ever a time where an animated feature deserved to be nominated for best picture it's Wall-E." -- (1)Eventhough is not a dictionary word (from what I researched) (2)The comma after to the Best Animated Feature category should be either a period or semi-colon
Done
  • The feature has won Best Picture from the Boston Society of Film Critics,[9] the Chicago Film Critics Association,[10] the Central Ohio Film Critics awards,[11] the Online Film Critics Society,[12] and most notably the Los Angeles Film Critics Association, becoming the first animated feature to win the award. -- to win the award should be "to win that award"
Done
References
  • IMDB is not reliable per WP:RS to verify the awards, even generally.
Done moved it to external links
  • Ref 25 has an error with the publisher (if I'm not mistaking)
Done changed to the Boston Society of Film Critics official website
  • What makes Hollywood Network, Inc. reliable?
It's the one that gives the awards
Oh okay.--₮RUCӨ 14:20, 8 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

  • I would add more categories, such as the main WALL-E category (if there is one)

  • Note: I moved this page whilst standardising page names Category:Lists of awards by award winner, and more specifically Category:Lists of awards by film. I wasn't aware this was an FLC at the time, but I have moved this page so the article talk page finds it, and changed the header of this and updated the transclusion at FLC. I'm not sure if this is the right procedure but it seems to all work. Someone might want to check it though. Sorry if I caused any inconvenience.

  • Support After a lot of improvements [2] the list is undoubtedly of FL quality. Please tell me any suggestions cause if this gets FL I will bring at least 6 more FLs till the end of the month. I just need to know how much is missing for an FL and asses the fixes needed to bring a list to FL. Thank you so much for the previous review and I'm awaiting your next review.--Diaa abdelmoneim (talk) 19:01, 11 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Done as requested. I theckened the lines between Awards. Hope that's what you meant.--Diaa abdelmoneim (talk) 22:29, 11 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I support this list. Reywas92Talk 13:56, 9 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Support, all issues resolved. Despite the changes to the FL criteria, I still believe this article warrants being a stand-alone list. Therefore, my support stands. Dabomb87 (talk) 21:30, 9 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Resolved issues, Dabomb87 (talk)
*"grossing $23.1 million on its opening day, and $63 million during its opening weekend in 3,992 theaters, ranking #1 at the box office." Make this a separate sentence "The film grossed $23.1 million...
  • Non-breaking spaces are needed between dollar amounts and "million", such as $23.1 million.
  • "The feature further grossed "-->In total, the feature grossed
  • " WALL-E was highly acclaimed with an approval rating of 96% on the review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes."--> WALL-E was well received, with an approval rating of 96% on the review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes.
  • "The film was nominated for several awards" Comma after here.
  • "WALL-E wasn't successful at earning any Annie Award losing all to Kung Fu Panda." No contractions first of all; second, this can be rephrased for clarity: "WALL-E did not win any Annie Awards losing all of them to Kung Fu Panda."
  • "nd most notably the Los Angeles Film Critics Association" Why "most notably"?
  • "The Time Magazine"-->Time (notice that I disambiguated the link)
  • "directors achievement"-->directors' achievement
  • "huge audience eventhough"-->large audience even though
  • "The Character of WALL-E" Why is "Character" capitalized?
  • "on Empire's online poll of the 100 greatest movie characters, conducted in 2008."-->on Empire's 2008 online poll of the 100 greatest movie characters.
  • Blank cells need em dashes (—). Dabomb87 (talk) 15:09, 14 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Note: I've stricken this support which was added by a different user. Supports from the nominator are not necessary. Matthewedwards :  Chat  22:32, 9 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

That was my own support. Dabomb87 (talk) 22:44, 9 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
My mistake. Matthewedwards :  Chat  22:46, 9 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]


Sources look good. Dabomb87 (talk) 15:55, 20 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure it's possible. It has to have no rowspans which would ruin its visual style because sortable lists only supports lists with no rowspans. If there was a script to move columns? It would help a lot so I can move the columns next to the awards column.--Diaa abdelmoneim (talk) 09:45, 18 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Additional Comments

  • Comment- In the nominations table, it counts 25 total nominations, however, the reader would instantly think that the wins are included (because winning also means it was nominated!). I think the red square should include the 25 lost nominations and the 31 won. Raaggio 22:17, 12 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Where would it be? It can't be the first column because the table isn't arranged after year but after award. Should I put it in the middle or where and should I put the exact date of the award?--Diaa abdelmoneim (talk) 21:57, 14 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Somewhere because its awkward not telling the reader when the film gain any of the awards. It also doesn't matter if it is the first column, it just shows which year the award was given.--Best, ₮RUCӨ 15:32, 15 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment What makes the Central Ohio Film Critics Association and British Academy Children's Awards notable enough for inclusion. I think awards should only be included if that award or the corresponding guild/critics association qualify for a wikipedia page. I know comprehensiveness is desired, but there are a lot of very minor awards given out and why should they be noted above others? -- Scorpion0422 15:58, 24 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
The British Academy Children's Awards was meant to show its reception among children. It's under the arm of the British Academy of Film and Television Arts and was started in 1969. You can see the section in th British Academy of Film and Television Arts article which explains its notability. The Central Ohio awards has pages of its ceremonies on Wikipedia but not about the association itself. You can see the link on the date category. When I improved the list I was merely aiming at including the most awards mentioned in Wikipedia. It was meant to be as comprehensive as possible. If there was some objections on an award or some awards missing I would remove or add them accordingly. --Diaa abdelmoneim (talk) 16:23, 24 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment Due to the current Featured List criteria dispute, I'm hesitant to promote any awards lists. I believe this one is more justified by many of the current FLs, but I think a case for merger could be made. As such, I will hold off on closing it until we decide what to do. This is the same for the Ratatouille list. -- Scorpion0422 16:32, 24 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Is this a concern of this FLC? You aren't proposing merging the two lists to List of Pixar awards and nominations along with List of Pixar awards and nominations (short films) and List of Pixar awards and nominations (feature films).--Diaa abdelmoneim (talk) 16:48, 24 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
It has nothing to do with this FLC, I just thought that I should avoid promoting awards lists and other similar lists until we figure out what is going on. -- Scorpion0422 18:07, 24 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
