56th Academy Awards

 * Nominator(s): Birdienest81 (talk) 09:48, 29 July 2021 (UTC)

I am nominating the 1984 Oscars for featured list because I believe it has great potential to become a Featured List. I followed how the 1929, 1979, 1987, 1988, 1989, 1990, 1991, 1992, 1993, 1994, 1995, 1996, 1997, 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, and 2021 ceremonies were written. Please keep in mind that because this ceremony happened earlier than in recent ones that I did, the format of how I configured this list may look slightly different than others.

 * Comments from Kavyansh.Singh
 * I see that links in the sources are not consistent. Some newspapers like The Times-Picayune (Ref#12), Akron Beacon Journal (Ref#22) ,and Indianapolis News (Ref#23) are linked, while rest are not linked. I'll suggest to either link all, or remove link from all.
 * Fixed: Linked the first mention of newspapers for each reference.


 * Some of the bibliographies like Franks 2005, Jones 1999, and Pond 2005 are not used as citations. I'll suggest moving them to Further reading section.
 * Fixed: Removed unused bibliographies since they were most likely holdovers from another ceremony, and I forgot to remove them.


 * Gene Allen is linked twice in the prose. First in the "Winners and nominees" section, second in the "Ceremony information" section.
 * Fixed: Delinked Gene Allen in the ceremony information section.


 * Suggesting to archive all the references (though some already are)
 * Fixed: Archived all references


 * I see that various news citations doesn't have link. Although not a major issue, I'll suggest adding these links to the article so that the reader could access them.
 * Oscar Nominations Are Due Ref#7
 * The Oscar Winners for 1984 Ref#17
 * Gullible Viewers Hooked Again By Tedious Academy Awards Ref#27
 * Unrewarding: Oscar Show's Bright Spots Few and Far Between Ref#28
 * 'Endearment' Wins Oscars as Best Picture Ref#31
 * Sure They Drag, but The Oscars Are Always Fun" Ref#32
 * First-Round Emmys Presented: Moyers' 'Walk,' J.F.K. Special Honored Ref#36
 * Fixed: Added links from above to respective references. I also indicated that the sources were retrieved using Newspapers.com.
 * @ Maybe you can fix these issues.  Kavyansh.Singh (talk) 08:31, 13 August 2021 (UTC)
 * - Done: I have addressed all the comments and responded to them by making the necessary corrections.

 * @u All my concerns are addressed, and the list looks and reads fine. I support this list for promotion as a Featured list. Great work! I'll appreciate your comments on FLC of United States presidential elections in Arkansas, which I do intent to make a series of 52 articles! Thanks!

Comments from HAL

 * by Academy president Gene Allen and Mickey Rooney --> Maybe reverse order or add "actor" or "entertainer" for clarity.
 * Fixed: Added "actor" before Mickey Rooney.


 * "award ceremony" and "awards ceremony" are used in same context. Standardize.
 * Fixed: Made "award" into plural so that it now reads "awards ceremony".


 * Add comma after "With four wins"
 * Fixed: Added comma after said phrase.


 * This image would work well under "Special Achievement Academy Award". If it's too much of a pain to replace the Spanish, don't worry about it.
 * Fixed: Added image to Special Achievement Award section.


 * I would move the Carson image to the left so he faces the text.
 * Fixed: Moved Johnny Carsons's image to the left.


 * the five Best Picture nominees at the US box office was $151 million with an average of $30 million The average gross is kind of obvious imo. Maybe remove?
 * Fixed: Removed the average gross figure.


 * He also added Remove "also". It implies that this was the second time he added.
 * Fixed: Removed the word also between He and added.


 * American telecast on ABC drew in an average of 42.1 million people over its length Average over what period? Clarify.
 * Fixed: Changed over its length" to "Over the length the broadcast"


 * Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon and Parasite have since equaled this record with four wins apiece Maybe add years in parentheses.
 * Fixed: Added years in parentheses to respective films.

That's all. Nice work. ~ HAL  333  18:51, 18 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Not anything you can fix, but The Right Stuff really should have won over Terms of Endearment.
 * - I've addressed your comments above, and I have made changes accordingly.

 * Happy to support. ~ HAL  333  01:30, 23 August 2021 (UTC)

Source review – Pass
Will do soon. Aza24 (talk) 21:21, 23 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Version reviewed:


 * Formatting
 * There's some inconsistency in using the "Citation" template vs "cite book" which is making the formatting different throughout the Bibliography
 * Fixed: Changed "cite book" to "citation" template per previous ceremony lists.


 * Locations are inconsistent, sometimes you have just city; sometimes city and state; and sometimes state and country
 * Fixed: Reformatted locations for consistency.


 * "Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (AMPAS)" vs just "Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences"
 * Fixed: Removed AMPAS acronym since it is redundant.


 * not sure that ref 21 is really a PDF
 * Fixed: Removed PDF indication.


 * Reliability
 * seems okay


 * Verifiability
 * No issue. Aza24 (talk) 21:21, 23 August 2021 (UTC)
 * - Done: I've addressed all the comments above and have made changes based on them.
