No Country for Old Men contributions
LOST358, thank you for your interest in improving Wikipedia. I reverted your recent changes to the No Country for Old Men article because (1) the awards list was completely unsourced (WP requires that each fact be verified and cited); and (2) Wikipedia isn't necessarily the best place for "lists" in articles like this; What WP is not has numerous references that argue against inclusion of this format for the awards. "[E]xcessive lists can dwarf articles and detract from the purpose of Wikipedia . . . ." and "Long and sprawling lists of statistics may be confusing to readers and reduce the readability and neatness of our articles," are just a couple. I also removed the IMDb reference since the WP Films project doesn't recognize it as a credible source (it is fan vote driven and unscientific).

Also, when making such a significant revision, it's a good idea to check the article's Talk page first to see if there is any relevant discussion. In this case there was.

Again, thanks for your interest in WP, and I look forward to more contributions from you. Feel free to ask for help at any time. Jim Dunning | talk  14:45, 29 December 2007 (UTC)
