Jake Gyllenhaal filmography

 * Nominator(s): — Tomíca (T2ME) 20:29, 6 February 2014 (UTC)

I am nominating this for featured list because... although I created and worked for it pretty much fast, according to me the list satisfies the criteria to be a FLC. Jake Gyllenhaal's impressive roles and appearances make this list shine even more. I think that the lead covers the most important content from the table, which is sortable and people can see how much the film budget was and its theater gross. For all the users who oppose I would like to post their comments so I can improve the article. Thank You — Tomíca (T2ME) 20:29, 6 February 2014 (UTC)


 * Comments from WikiRedactor
 * There are only a couple external links that need correcting.
 * Done/Fixed them. — Tomíca (T2ME) 16:34, 8 February 2014 (UTC)


 * In the sortable tables, you might want to consider putting the column for years before the column with the film titles. It appears to be a standard for filmography tables from what I've seen.
 * Well, actually there is not a standard. In this kind of tables they use the years first, while in examples like this one (which I have created), I use the name of the film first. — Tomíca (T2ME) 16:34, 8 February 2014 (UTC)


 * I believe you can drop the 's' in 'music videos' in the heading "Music videos appearances".
 * Done. — Tomíca (T2ME) 16:34, 8 February 2014 (UTC)

This list really looks to be in good shape, and I don't have any further issues; I trust that you will make these minor corrections, and I am confident in giving my support for the nomination. WikiRedactor (talk) 20:27, 7 February 2014 (UTC)

 * Born to the Gyllenhaal family --- This should be Born in the Gyllenhaal family per nomen, like Born in the USA
 * Done. — Tomíca (T2ME) 22:29, 11 February 2014 (UTC)


 * I think somewhere you need to establish that Stephen is his father,without people having to read Gyllenhaal family.
 * I am not sure about this one, but check it out. — Tomíca (T2ME) 22:29, 11 February 2014 (UTC)


 * although the film was received warmly from critics,[1] Gyllenhaal's portrayal of the NASA engineer Homer Hickam was praised --> This is not correct, the sentence should begin as a fresh one. Also received warmly and praise are not contrasts, they are complementary. So the although usage is also wrong.
 * Is it okay now? — Tomíca (T2ME) 22:29, 11 February 2014 (UTC)


 * alongside his sister Maggie and Drew Barrymore --> This makes it sound as if Drew is also his sister, suggest a comma after Maggie.
 * Done. — Tomíca (T2ME) 22:29, 11 February 2014 (UTC)


 * Gyllenhaal starred in the 2004 disaster film The Day After Tomorrow;[3] despite receiving mixed reviews from critics,[6] the film was a commercial success at the box office --> Another instance where a splitting would benefit the construction or a tweak like this: "Gyllenhaal starred in the 2004 disaster film The Day After Tomorrow, which, despite receiving mixed reviews from critics, emerged a commercial success at the box office".
 * Done. — Tomíca (T2ME) 22:29, 11 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Here's the thing, why don't you end the Lead with something concise, like oneor two sentences from critics which talk about Jake as an actor or his acting methods? At present it has a bit of proseline effect with sentences going in a particular structure "In XXXX, he starrted in film YYYY, received a/b/c reaction"
 * Well, that basically happens with every filmography (I explain facts about how the film is going/went). However, if you see there are some facts about his most important roles and acclaim and awards he gained. Also, I reduced the use of "In XXXX" etc. I think it's okay as it is. — Tomíca (T2ME) 22:29, 11 February 2014 (UTC)


 * USD$ the $ symbol isnot necessary when you write USD.
 * Done. — Tomíca (T2ME) 22:29, 11 February 2014 (UTC)


 * Some of the reference titles need an en-dash.
 * I believe the script fixed them. — Tomíca (T2ME) 22:29, 11 February 2014 (UTC)


 * The magazine articles needs issn and the album booklet references needs catalogue ID.
 * Done for the magazine reference, changed the booklet refs with an iTunes ones since I was not sure about the ID. — Tomíca (T2ME) 22:29, 11 February 2014 (UTC)
 * The main infobox image. I think it works perfectly fine without the upright parameter and it is defaulting itself to screen size as well. I checked it in my laptop lowering the resolution.
 * Done. — Tomíca (T2ME) 22:29, 11 February 2014 (UTC)
