Excessive images from same film
Hi. Why are there 4 images from the same film in this article? The article isn't even about the film, but about the filmmaker. It's excessive. I think just one image from the film next to the paragraph talking about the film, should be enough for readers. It isn't a must to have images for every section. Lots of articles on wikipedia have no images whatsoever due to the lack of appropriate pics. Bennv3771 (talk) 09:14, 22 April 2017 (UTC)
 * I agree with about this. While adding images to articles can be a positive thing, care needs to be taken to makes sure it's not done excessively per WP:PERTINENCE. Images are just like textual content in the sense that adding/removing them may require establishing a consensus through talk page discussion. Freely licensed images such as these are easier to use, but that does not mean they all need to be used. A link to the relevant Commons category such as Template:Commons category (or one of its variants) could be added and three of the images removed without any detriment to the reader in my opinion. Considering that the article is lacking a freely licensed image of Waddington herself to serve as a primary means of identification, it would be better trying to get that than using four images who show the same actress appearing in the same movie. -- Marchjuly (talk) 11:13, 3 May 2017 (UTC)

International awards as a film director
The list of festivals in the Alice Waddington is in some serious need of triming. Only major awards won at the more notable of these festivals needs to be mentioned. A Wikipedia article is supposed to include only the most relevant encyclopedic information per WP:NOTEVERYTHING and lists such as this should not become unnecessarily bloated and read as if they were someone's resume. Common selection criteria should be (1) an award was won and (2) the Wikipedia notability of the festival itself. Minor festivals (even wins) need not be mentioned if there are not existing Wikipedia articles written about them or they seem unlikely candidates for future articles; in addition, links to non-English Wikipedia pages should probably be used with care because they will take the reader to a page written in a language they might not understand. Adding all of these entries does not enhance Waddington's notability in anyway and only fills the article with trivia details in a form of citation bombardment. -- Marchjuly (talk) 10:42, 3 May 2017 (UTC)
