Fair use rationale for Image:Biennale logo small.png
Image:Biennale logo small.png is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Golden Lion → Golden Lion for Best Film — This article is about the Golden Lion for Best Film, not about the Golden Lion award. Golden Lions are prizes awarded by La Biennale di Venezia in the fields of art, architecture, dance, music, theatre and, yes, cinema. Therefore, the Golden Lion for Best Film is only one of many Golden Lions. Relisted.   A rbitrarily 0   ( talk ) 14:36, 30 July 2010 (UTC) --Quarconi (talk) 08:33, 20 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose Agree that there are several Golden Lions, but this one is the primary topic and I suspect the average person would read "Golden Lion" and "Golden Lion for Best Film" as one and the same. The Italian article is simply "Leone d'oro" and not what the Italian equivalent of "best film" is tagged onto the end. Would maybe support the move if the other Golden Lion awards had articles too. Also compare with Palme d'Or and Palme d'Or du court métrage.  Lugnuts  (talk) 06:43, 22 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Support and allow a Golden Lion creation of an overview article to sit at the short name. 76.66.193.119 (talk) 03:49, 23 July 2010 (UTC)

Jud Süß (1940 film)
Jud Süß (1940 film) was awarded the Golden Lion award in September 1940. There appears to be no films listed in this article prior to 1949. Is there a reason for this? --Pseudo-Richard (talk) 06:26, 30 October 2011 (UTC)

Move page?
It is an Italian award, with an Italian name. Shouldn't the page be moved to its Italian name? Look at Palme d'Or. Rui &#39;&#39;Gabriel&#39;&#39; Correia (talk) 16:21, 18 September 2013 (UTC)
 * In English-language publications, the award is usually referred to as the "Golden Lion". Even the Venice festival's official web page appears to use "Golden Lion" (not Leone d'oro) in its English pages . By contrast, English-language sources generally call the award from Cannes by its French name, the Palme d'Or. Mathew5000 (talk) 00:33, 4 September 2014 (UTC)

Guillermo del Toro, nationality
The winner of the 2017 Award, Guillermo del Toro is mexican. He might have also the US citizenship, but anyway the column in the winners table reads "Country of Origin". Guillermo was born in Mexico, he studied in Mexico, and made all his first cinematographic projects in Mexico. I think his "country of origin" should be listed as Mexico and not the US. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 131.152.125.236 (talk) 15:50, 14 September 2017 (UTC)

Division by decades
I think that the changes done by User talk:Michael 182 need to be included back into this article, as they allow a better comprehension of the text and would make it consistent with the other Venice Film Festival pages. 181.170.26.9 (talk) 14:54, 7 February 2018 (UTC)


 * The way the list is formatted allows sorting throughout and I think it should be kept this way and not split in decades, as has been attempeted and reverted various times in similar award articles. Hoverfish Talk 15:22, 7 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Could you explain better what you mean by "allows sorting throughout"? 190.19.10.99 (talk) 12:46, 16 February 2018 (UTC)


 * The tables of film awards are sortable, so they can be sorted either chronologically by year or by film title or by name of director. This table sorting property may not be important when dealing with best actor/actress (and therefore I have not interfered in splitting these tables by decades), but it is deemed needed in film award tables. I remind you that the issue has already been brought up in WikiProject Film and consensus is clearly agaist splitting by decades . Hoverfish Talk 18:29, 16 February 2018 (UTC)


 * So if these kind of film award table cannot be divided by decades, then why do articles like the Golden Globe Award for Best Foreign Language Film, which also presents international films, it's divided by decades?. Also, the link that you added to your explanation doesn't show an actual discussion of the subject at hand, so you can't argue that there's overall consensus on this idea. 190.19.10.99 (talk) 21:03, 16 February 2018 (UTC)
 * The article you mention has different sections for different decades. I thought this article was all awards in one single table?  The Rambling Man (talk) 21:34, 16 February 2018 (UTC)
 * It is true that in the article that I mention there are different sections for different decades. What I'm trying to understand is why the Golden Globe Award article, which handles a similar topic than this one, can be divided by decades while this one can't, as they are both structured in a similar way except for the sections for decades. 190.19.10.99 (talk) 22:20, 16 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Different articles written by different people. Sometimes there's a project style guide which defines how "best" to format articles about a common subject, not sure if that's the case here.  Either way, articles about similar subjects are often formatted differently.  The Rambling Man (talk) 22:25, 16 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Can we agree that, even though these articles have been written by different people, the format in the Golden Globe Award for Best Foreign Language Film could be applied in this one, if the other users don't have any problems with it? 190.19.10.99 (talk) 22:42, 16 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Can someone answer the question I've just made before? 190.19.10.99 (talk) 01:27, 17 February 2018 (UTC)
 * As I said below, I do not agree. On the contrary, I think the format presently existing in this article should be applied to Golden Globe Award for Best Foreign Language Film. Hoverfish Talk 10:28, 17 February 2018 (UTC)

The link didn't work, my fault, but I fixed it now. This is the link of the thread in WikiProject Film. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Film/Archive_67#User_splitting_award_lists_by_decades_&_disabling_sortability I warn you against ignoring this consensus. Hoverfish Talk 23:40, 16 February 2018 (UTC)
 * After reading through the link, there doesn't seem to be a clear consensus about these subject but a misunderstanding about what it is being discussed. Therefore, I suggest that we apply the changes than I'm prposing so that other people,not just you, can later comment on what they think of them. 190.19.10.99 (talk) 18:32, 17 February 2018 (UTC)
 * I count 4 editors, including me in the linked discussion arguing for sortability and against splitting the tables. In this thread, here below, I count one more editor who prefers sortability. This makes 5 against 1. It is you who is "just you" in this. Hoverfish Talk 00:54, 18 February 2018 (UTC)
 * In reality, in the discussion that you are pointing out, one of the editors seemed to be refering to a differnt kind of division of tables that is not the same as what it is being discussed while AldezD didn't formally express his opinion on the subject. The only one in the discussion who did was you. Therefore, if you count The Rambling Man, there is only 2 against 1. You can't really say that you speak for the majority of the users. Therefore, I repeat the suggestion I've made before of changing the format so that other people can have a say in this subject. 190.19.10.99 (talk) 02:29, 18 February 2018 (UTC)

Sortability folks. The Rambling Man (talk) 23:42, 16 February 2018 (UTC) I agree with The Rambling Man. It would be better to have all films in Golden Globe Award for Best Foreign Language Film placed in one sortable table. Hoverfish Talk 00:35, 17 February 2018 (UTC)

Completely separate from the above, the flag icons likely violate MOS:FLAGS. --M asem (t) 12:54, 17 February 2018 (UTC)

Chloé Zhao, nationality
She's credited here as one of seven Americans to win, but she has repeatedly stated she's not American. 147.12.230.31 (talk) 01:10, 15 September 2021 (UTC)

Why are Chloé Zhao and Ang Lee listed as American? Chloé Zhao's legal nationality is unclear, but it's definitely not American. Ang Lee is Taiwanese. 24 March 2024 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A02:C7C:5B34:2700:6867:B791:243:28BB (talk) 23:09, 24 March 2024 (UTC)
