Clint Eastwood filmography

 * Nominator(s): Some Dude From North Carolina (talk) 21:10, 7 December 2020 (UTC)

I am nominating this for featured list because I just finished rewriting it, and I have added about 150 archived references (one for each film/television series Clint Eastwood has appeared in), making this list notable for FL. Some Dude From North Carolina wanna talk? 21:10, 7 December 2020 (UTC)

Comments by Alexandra Please ping me when you have addressed the above or if you have any questions, and I will take another look. Thank you.--AlexandraIDV 06:15, 8 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Add brief alt text to all images, to aid readers with impaired vision
 * You have forgotten to close the italics in the caption Eastwood with actress Susan Clark in Coogan's Bluff (1968)
 * The lead is quite long - in particular, the third paragraph is long enough that it begins to feel like a "wall of text", making it uncomfortable to read. Remember that the lead is meant to be engaging (FLC criterion 2), and to serve as an introduction - you don't need to list off so many of the items individually in the lead, one after another, because that's what the list itself is for. Because a rewrite may be necessary here, I am holding off on reviewing the lead in detail until then.
 * Link Man with No Name at least the first time the character is mentioned in the list
 * Some of the characters listed do not seem to be names, but descriptions - I would expect those to be written in sentence case (ie change Man in Crowd on Pier to Man in crowd on pier)
 * It is not immediately obvious what Carlo/Charlie means for someone not familiar with the film - clarify that Charlie is what the character is renamed to in the English release
 * Titles beginning with "The" should not sort on that when the reader chooses to sort by title - for example, The Witches should be sorted as "Witches, The"
 * I have addressed / completed all of your suggestions. Some Dude From North Carolina wanna talk? 13:53, 8 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Thank you, and sorry for the delay, I will take a look at the lead today.--AlexandraIDV 13:34, 9 December 2020 (UTC)

Otherwise, this looks good - clarify the Cry Macho bit, and I'll support.--AlexandraIDV 19:53, 10 December 2020 (UTC)
 * His most recent acting role was in Cry Macho (2021), which he also directed. - this is an upcoming film, do we know if production has finished? Otherwise, it should be in present tense ("is in Cry Macho (2021), which he is also directing")
 * Production concludes on the 16th. Should I still change it? Some Dude From North Carolina wanna talk? 20:40, 10 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Yes - it might seem silly considering how soon it is, but we don't want to give the impression that it already finished before it did (and we don't really know that it will until it has). Either rephrasing so it correctly is referred to as a future event (and then changing tense when things change), or rephrasing in such a way that it doesn't get outdated, would be my suggestion.--AlexandraIDV 23:29, 10 December 2020 (UTC)
 * I have rephrased the sentence as requested. Some Dude From North Carolina wanna talk? 23:35, 10 December 2020 (UTC)

 * Comments
 * "In 1971, Eastwood made his directorial debut Play Misty for Me." => "In 1971, Eastwood made his directorial debut with Play Misty for Me."
 * "In 1973, Eastwood starred in yet another western" => "In 1973, Eastwood starred in another western"
 * "Three years later, he starred as Confederate guerilla and outlaw Josey Wales in The Outlaw Josey Wales (1976)" - if it was three years later then obviously it was 1976, so no real need to restate it
 * "He has even lent his voice to a song" => "He lent his voice to a song"
 * "At the early stages of his acting career" => "In the early stages of his acting career"
 * In the TV section it seems odd to list his director/producer roles first given that a) in the film section it's the other way round and b) they came later than almost all his acting roles. So I would place the acting roles first.
 * That's all I got on a first pass...... -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 15:45, 8 December 2020 (UTC)
