84th Academy Awards

 * Nominator(s): Birdienest81 (talk) 22:27, 30 April 2013 (UTC)

I am nominating this 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 1st Academy Awards and 82nd Academy Awards were written.Birdienest81 (talk) 22:27, 30 April 2013 (UTC)

 * Comment. The references are overlinked at the work/publisher space, for example Entertainment Weekly is linked in number 2 and 3. Just link the first time the work/publisher appears. In general, it looks good. Tb hotch .™ Grammatically incorrect? Correct it!  See terms and conditions.  00:58, 5 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Fixed: I have fixed everything. Though I must ask, Underneath-it-All said I have to link everything including the references, but you said only the first mention. Who's right?

 * I have seen it done both ways. In older FLC's it was requested by other users, but I'm fine with just the first mention being wikilinked. – Underneath-it-All (talk) 15:15, 6 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Good, now if only I can get more feedback

 * Support, if possible. I edit Oscar-releated awards, but most of them just vandalism and disruptive editing. If there is no problem, support. Tb hotch .™ Grammatically incorrect? Correct it!  See terms and conditions.  00:36, 7 May 2013 (UTC)

 * Comments
 * No comma after 1990 in the first paragraph.
 * Should read "between five and ten" instead of "to ten"
 * In ceremony section, change pending to depending.
 * Remove 'and' before Eddie Murphy.
 * The Voting trends and summary section deals just with the box-office performance of the nominees. I see this is the case with the other recent ceremony articles, but these contents do not match the section title. Material relating to voting trends and summary should be added, or please change the name of this section in this and other articles.
 * In Critical reviews section, change 'last year' to 'the previous year'
 * Quotation marks are unnecessary in the second paragraph of the Ratings section.
 * If In Memoriam in the header is italicized, its use in the first sentence there should be too, not in quotation marks.
 * Steve Jobs' role shouldn't be pointed out if no one else's is.
 * External links: Oscar's -> Oscars
 * The ABC and Hollywood Blog links now just refer to the 2013 show.
 * Sources and content look great, good work!
 * Fixed: I have fixed everything. However, if I had kept the 'Voting trends and summary' intact would you have wanted like a summary of who won or what?

 * Looking further back, 80th Academy Awards, 79th Academy Awards, and 78th Academy Awards have more information, but little of it can really be called trends or has any reference to the votes: it's mostly records and special occurances about the winners, though of course none of that can necessarily be applied to this ceremony. If you want to try to find any, that would be nice but not necessary. I found that Christopher Plummer became the oldest person to win an acting award, and Hugo was nominated in all seven technical categories, so those would definitely be worth mentioning, though I don't know the best way to incorporate it. Also, the multiple nominations section could be made a subsection of Winner and Nominees, which could also be done for other articles. Reywas92 Talk 03:08, 10 May 2013 (UTC)
 * I tried creating a notable winners section for the 82nd Academy Awards, but Tbhotch said no to it because it sounded like trivia. If I remember, the 1st Academy Awards does mention some brief notable winners at the beginning. Maybe I could try to incorporate a notable winners section but in prose style (as opposed to a list style).
 * Birdienest81 (talk) 03:44, 10 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Yes, prose would be good, maybe as another subsection of the main winners and nominees section. Some of the other pages' material gets too trivial, but a few major winners like those two are noteworthy enough. Reywas92 Talk 04:23, 10 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Done: I added notable facts under the second paragraph of the Winners and Nominees section just before the awards boxes. I followed a similar format to the 1st Academy Awards which has brief tidbits about the major winners.
