74th Academy Awards

 * Nominator(s): Birdienest81 (talk) 02:47, 3 February 2014 (UTC)

I am nominating the 2002 Oscars for featured list because I believe it has great potential to become a Featured List. I read the requirements and criteria. I also followed how the 1929, 1989, 1990, 1992, 1994, 1996, 1999, 2000, 2004, 2009, 2010, and 2012 Oscars were written.--Birdienest81 (talk) 02:47, 3 February 2014 (UTC)


 * Comment: The first two references in the lead are a bit trivial and may be skipped; as they are detailed in the body of the article. References in the lead should be just for statistics, such as the 4 awards (correctly referenced) and the audience (which should be referenced). long comments between brackets should be re-written to avoid the brackets, for example the "the seventh film to achieve this feat" may be reformulated as a second sentence. That Halle Berry "made Oscar history" sounds a bit excessive, considering that she's not the first African-American to win an award (being the first one to win in one specific category is too technical). The "Academy Honorary Award" and "Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award" (two and one entries) seem very short to be standalone sections, and may be merged into a "minor awards", "special awards" or similar name. You shouldn't include "in order of appearance" in the section headings, simply say at the introductory text of the "Presenters and performers" section that tables are ordered by order of appearence. File:74 academy awards poster.jpg Seems fine, but you should complete it with the templates Non-free media data and Non-free media rationale. Cambalachero (talk) 16:59, 12 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Fixed: I have fixed most of everything you mentioned above with some notes:
 * Reformated the 13 nomination sentence into two sentences.
 * Removed "made Oscar history" but still kept Halle Berry fact with mention of first African American WOMAN to win Best Actress. I think this must be mentioned since this was one of the reasons why this ceremony is historic.
 * Changed non competitive awards to format like in 64th Oscars.
 * Updated the rationales for the poster.
 * Relocated in order of appearance to intro sentence.

 * Seems fine, so I Support the nomination. On a related issue, the file is also used at the article Alex Ross, the artist that made that poster, when discussing the awards ceremony; but that has no influence over this nomination. I will leave a comment on the talk page for that. Cambalachero (talk) 17:31, 13 February 2014 (UTC)


 * Support: Nice work, once again.--Jagarin 20:39, 18 February 2014 (UTC)


 * Fixed: I fixed the alt captions problem. I also found a new citation source that is in print.

 * Support: (having stumbled here from my FLC discussion page). Incredibly well done and informative. Great follow-up to nominator's other high quality WP:FL pages on the same subject. Excellent work, &mdash; Cirt (talk) 01:45, 25 February 2014 (UTC)
