List of accolades received by Avatar

 * Nominator(s): DrNegative (talk) 19:13, 8 March 2010 (UTC)

This list was created to include all major and regional awards and nominations for the film Avatar. It is thoroughly sourced and cited and meets all content and style requirements (to my knowledge) for a featured list. The content will be stable since all major awards for which the film would qualify have now been awarded and any future accolades would likely encompass "Best of..." or "Top films of..." types of inclusion in the future.

 * Support Very nice list, and I see no further problems. Reywas92 Talk 21:31, 22 March 2010 (UTC)

Support, all issues resolved. Dabomb87 (talk) 21:27, 6 April 2010 (UTC)

Addendum: I don't think the fair-use image is justified in this case. It does not enhance the readers understanding of the article. Mm40 (talk) 13:57, 7 April 2010 (UTC)
 * I strongly feel that a picture of the producer and director holding the film's most prestigious accolade, which is also mentioned in the lead and table, would help the reader. However, as a reviewer your opinion takes precedence over mine and if you want me to remove it, I will axe it. DrNegative (talk) 16:17, 7 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Images aren't my strong point, so can other reviewers comment on it? Thanks, Mm40 (talk) 16:31, 7 April 2010 (UTC)
 * I must agree with Mm40. From WP:FU: "Non-free content is used only where no free equivalent is available, or could be created, that would serve the same encyclopedic purpose". While this certainly would qualify for fair use under US copyright law, our policies are more stringent. A similar photo could plausibly be taken and released under a free license. I would suggest using File:JamesCameronCCJuly09.jpg. in its place.  Jujutacular  T · C 20:36, 7 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Agreed. In addition to Jujutacular's reasoning, the purpose of use given is very weak: "To show the reader a pic in the infobox and to give them scope as to what the article is about, in this case Avatar's awards." The scope is made quite clear in the list's title. Dabomb87 (talk) 21:20, 7 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Very well. Removed. DrNegative (talk) 21:51, 7 April 2010 (UTC)


 * Thank you for your help and guidance everyone. DrNegative (talk) 00:31, 10 April 2010 (UTC)
