List of German submissions for the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film

 * Nominator(s): BomBom (talk) 21:10, 9 May 2009 (UTC)

I am nominating this for featured list because I think it is now up to the standards. The layout is based on that of other Academy-Award FLs, so there shouldn't be much controversy. All objections will of course be promptly addressed. Regards. BomBom (talk) 21:10, 9 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Support Unfortunately these may seem like cookie-cutter topics, but this list is clearly well-developed and stand-alone. This is clearly comprable to the other submission FLs, and it is very interesting and well-referenced. I have no concerns.  Reywas92 Talk  21:09, 13 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment: Mind explaining why you created Academy Award nominee/meta/color, Academy Award submission/meta/color, and Academy Award winner/meta/color? The change in the article added 2kb of text, and nom seemed to be working just fine. First, the template titles are unnecessarily long. It could just be "Academy Award nomination color" or even "Oscar nom color". Those could have been combined or even added to the Nom template, so you could just write "nom|Won" or so that "Oscar color|Nominated" would automatically be green and "Oscar color|Won" would be gold. Otherwise, I would suggest including "align=center" within the template, as Nom did. Reywas92 Talk  23:57, 15 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment. I removed the color templates. They are still at an early development stage, and weren't designed for this article anyway but for an experiment being carried out on my sandbox. They shouldn't have been used in the first place. Regards. --BomBom (talk) 13:18, 16 May 2009 (UTC)
 * That's fine, sorry if I was being overcritical. WP's coloring everywhere does need to be standardized somehow, though. Reywas92 Talk  20:40, 16 May 2009 (UTC)

Support, all issues resolved. Dabomb87 (talk) 21:59, 15 May 2009 (UTC)

Sources look good. Dabomb87 (talk) 21:59, 15 May 2009 (UTC)
 * What makes http://www.german-films.de/app/filmarchive/oscar_features.php reliable? Dabomb87 (talk) 22:17, 14 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Done. All of your comments have been taken into account. As for the source, it is pretty clear from the article itself who German Films is. German Films Service + Marketing GmbH, which was known as the Export-Union of German Cinema until 2004, is an umbrella association that organizes each year the committee and procedures that select Germany's submission to the Academy Awards. The article thus couldn't use a more official source. --BomBom (talk) 10:23, 15 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Sorry about that, I have a tendency to be over-critical of sources. I always question them to be on the safe side. Dabomb87 (talk) 21:59, 15 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Support Looks good enough to me. Good job!--Crzycheetah 06:06, 20 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment - You make a specific unreferenced statement in the lead, "West Germany and East Germany were formally reunited on 3 October 1990." Geraldk (talk) 15:22, 21 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Done. I added a reference. I didn't think it necessary given that the date of reunification is a widely-known, undisputed fact. --BomBom (talk) 19:06, 21 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Support - Yes, well, I'm anal retentive. Great work, btw. Really a well done list. Geraldk (talk) 01:08, 22 May 2009 (UTC)
