List of Scream characters

 * Nominator(s): Darkwarriorblake (talk) 16:41, 21 September 2011 (UTC)

I am re-nominating this for featured list because I believe it to be a comprehensive, detailed article. I spent a long time researching the films for their respective articles and have condensed that here to provide as much intimate detail where possible on the characters and otherwise provided a brief summary of the characters actions plus an additional reception section. Everything here is everything I believe it possible to find through research in regards to the characters and I believe it to be a quality article.

Since the last nomination the article has been comprehensively copy edited by the marvelous Stfg. Darkwarriorblake (talk) 16:41, 21 September 2011 (UTC)

Comment: I can't believe all the reviewers disappeare,d so I'll leave some comments: Wizardman Operation Big Bear 17:23, 1 December 2011 (UTC)
 * "In 2001, as part of the American Film Institute''s AFI 100 Years... series, the character of Ghostface became one of the four hundred nominees in the "100 Heroes and Villains" category.[43]" this sentence should be combined elsewhere in reception, as one-sentence paragraphs are discouraged.
 * "Appears in: Scream 3" Appeared in, to keep consistent.
 * Thank you for your comments! I have attempted to address both issues, hopefully this satisfies your issue. Darkwarriorblake (talk) 20:19, 2 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Support, looks good now. Wizardman  Operation Big Bear 22:45, 2 December 2011 (UTC)

Comments: Ok so this is my first review ever for FLC, so bare with me.
 * I know the general rule is to not cite things in the lead paragraph, but you have alot of facts there that do not seem to be repeated elsewhere("characters created primarily by Kevin Williamson with contributions from Craven and Ehren Kruger.", and "Each film provides a motive and grounds for suspicion for several characters," just to name 2)
 * in the first paragraph you say what the ending to each movie is. Isn't there a "spoiler alert" template that is used in these situations? I could be wrong.
 * the alt text in your images is describing the person's accomplishments not who or what they are doing. read Alternative text for images. Also, references do not belong in alt text.
 * the lead paragraphs for each of the different movie sections have no references. I am not even sure if they are needed.
 * One or two sentence paragraphs are really discouraged. These are everywhere in this article. These are just the ones I found in the "Scream" section. "Billy Loomis" has 3 2 sentence paragraphs, "Gale Weathers" 1 sentence paragraph, "Principal Himbry" 2 sentence paragraph, "Sidney Prescott" 2 sentence paragraph, "Steve Orth" 1 sentence paragraph.
 * all of the characters are listed individually except for "Maureen Evans and Phil Stevens", and "Anthony Perkins and Ross Hoss" is there a reason for this? They should be separate.
 * "Steven Stone" has no references.
 * this whole layout of this list is very confusing. First off it is arranged alphabetically by first name for each movie, usually people are alphabetized by last name. Secondly if a character is in multiple movies they are not listed in the second or third one they are in. Relationships are really hard to follow because of the strange alphabetizing and layout.
 * A summary chart would really help this list out. Something that states the character and maybe the actor and then states what films they were in with links that will take you right to the correct part of the page. Something similar to the one on List of Scream cast members
 * I don't get the "Reception" section. If we have two lists, one for characters and one for actors, why is there information about the actors and awards they won. doesn't that belong with the list of actors? Do most movies have separate lists for characters and actors here on wiki?
 * there are a bunch of links missing the second set of brackets in the "Reception" section as well.

I did not check any of the references to see if they actually state what they are referencing. At this point I believe this list still has a long way to go before being FL material. Another Peer Review might be best for it.--Found5dollar (talk) 15:43, 4 December 2011 (UTC)
