List of accolades received by Titanic

 * Nominator(s): Gaga Nutella talk 03:59, 13 May 2021 (UTC)

I don't need to say that Titanic is one the greatest productions and had one of the biggest box office in film history. After a hard work, especially finding reliable sources (this was really difficult), and major changes, I am very happy and proud to nominate this list, which I believe deserves to have the FL status.

 * Comments
 * "Titanic grossed a worldwide total of over $2.200 billion" - two of those decimal places don't seem needed


 * "to reach the mark of one and two billion-dollar mark" - odd wording


 * "The film has received numerous awards and nominations upon its release" - don't think it received any of these awards "upon its release", they all came much later


 * "Titanic began its awards sweep starting at the 55th Golden Globe Awards" - a "sweep" implies it won every award for which it was nominated, which clearly isn't the case


 * "Cameron's original screenplay and DiCaprio were not nominees" - huh? Why are we mentioning things for which it wasn't even nominated in an article about its accolades?


 * "It spent sixteen weeks at number-one" - no hyphen needed in "number one"


 * In the table:
 * The soundtrack album is shown once as "Titanic (Soundtrack)" but other times just as "Titanic"
 * It depends on how the awards names the album, I just followed their stylization. Gaga Nutella talk 19:00, 13 May 2021 (UTC)


 * "Hugh Brown, Al Quattrocchi, and Jeff Smith for Titanic – Music as Heard on the Fateful Voyage" - this album doesn't actually appear to have any official connection to the film, so should not be on a list of its accolades


 * Same with Kenny G's cover version of "My Heart Will Go On" - as far as I can see this version was not in the film so shouldn't be listed here


 * "Most Oscar Won by a Film" - most Oscars (plural) surely?


 * "Largest Camera Crane Used on Film on a Film Set" - "on film on a film set"? Is that really correct?


 * Titles of refs 19 and 20 are not "Billboard Newspaper"


 * I can't view ref 63 as it is blocked in my country, but I suspect the title as shown here is not correct - the wording seems very mangled


 * That's what I got on a first pass..... -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 16:15, 13 May 2021 (UTC)
 * great review, thanks a lot. All fixed! Gaga Nutella talk 19:00, 13 May 2021 (UTC)
 * sorry for giving you a ping again, but do you support now? Gaga Nutella talk 02:30, 20 May 2021 (UTC)

Support - apologies for forgetting to return -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 07:29, 20 May 2021 (UTC)

Support – the table is now sorting correctly, and it was quite a pain; I fully sympathize with your struggles now. (Wikipedia's auto-sorting features were trying to be helpful but ultimately caused more problems in this case. I even had to put in a "wrong" date to get everything to sort correctly... definitely not fun.) Thanks for sticking with the nomination through all of my comments!

 * your review was extremely important, thanks for helping me with that. Gaga Nutella talk 01:33, 21 May 2021 (UTC)


 * No qualms with File:JamesCameronStarDec09.jpg
 * "The film won the 55th Golden Globe Awards for" doesn't read well and makes it sound like this won the rights to a ceremony. I understand wanting a different sentence structure from the Oscars, but we should opt for something else.


 * "numerous North American critics' associations, sush as"..... such as
 * I didn't understand. Gaga Nutella talk 02:06, 14 May 2021 (UTC)
 * what SNUGGUMS means here is that the word is spelt incorrectly. The word is such, not sush -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 07:14, 14 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Yes indeed it is. SNUGGUMS (talk / edits) 12:37, 14 May 2021 (UTC)


 * Brit Awards (the UK equivalent of what Grammys are to the US) are worth mentioning in the prose. Same with Junos since those are Canada's biggest music accolade.


 * No discussion on the multiple Guinness World Records? That's a glaring omission!


 * You could add the wins for Satellite Awards as well as how Gloria Stuart received a Saturn Award
 * Is it really necessary? I have already mentioned many awards there. Gaga Nutella talk 02:06, 14 May 2021 (UTC)
 * I said that because it could help flesh out the lead once you removed how many soundtrack copies were sold, plus it seemed to be a common mention among wins when one doesn't get an Oscar, BAFTA, Golden Globe, or Screen Actors Guild Award for their performance in a film. SNUGGUMS (talk / edits) 12:37, 14 May 2021 (UTC)


 * Albums sales seem better for the soundtrack's article.


 * Italicize Billboard for Billboard Music Awards within the citations

Give me a ping after you go through these. SNUGGUMS (talk</b> / <b style="color:#009900">edits</b>) 23:35, 13 May 2021 (UTC)
 * hey there, I think I have addressed everything and the lead looks better now. Gaga Nutella talk 02:06, 14 May 2021 (UTC)
 * We're almost there now. <b style="color:#009900">SNUGGUMS</b> (<b style="color:#009900">talk</b> / <b style="color:#009900">edits</b>) 12:37, 14 May 2021 (UTC)
 * take a look now, please. Gaga Nutella talk 01:56, 18 May 2021 (UTC)

You still should add Juno Award nominations to prose (Canadian equivalent of Grammys in US), but the improvements so far are enough for me to extend my support. Good work here! <b style="color:#009900">SNUGGUMS</b> (<b style="color:#009900">talk</b> / <b style="color:#009900">edits</b>) 03:26, 18 May 2021 (UTC)
 * thank you so much for your support! I have added about it. Gaga Nutella talk 02:11, 20 May 2021 (UTC)

Source review – Pass
Will do soon. Aza24 (talk) 22:26, 5 June 2021 (UTC)


 * Formatting
 * You might want to add url-access=limited to the NYT ref, as you have a subscription marking on the Rolling stones ref


 * LA times could be marked with as needing a subscription as well
 * Why? I have free acess here. Gaga Nutella talk 21:44, 6 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Hmmm I don't, but not a huge issue. Aza24 (talk) 23:33, 6 June 2021 (UTC)
 * It must depend on the country, so I added now. Gaga Nutella talk 23:38, 6 June 2021 (UTC)


 * ref 75 missing author


 * Reliability
 * My reliabillity script has PR Newswire (ref 21) as a generally unreliable source. Is there a better ref for this information available?
 * Sorry, I can't find anything better, but as it's just an award list and not something more complex, I believe that's okay in this case. The award is very old, so it's hard to find something on the internet from that time. Gaga Nutella talk 21:44, 6 June 2021 (UTC)
 * No worries, I had a feeling this might be the case, just thought I'd check. Aza24 (talk) 23:33, 6 June 2021 (UTC)


 * seems fine otherwise


 * Verifiability
 * recommendation: add "trans-title=" to non-english sources


 * recommend using the archive bot on the links


 * perhaps add a page number(s) for ref 70?
 * ✅ I added the page number to all PDF references. Gaga Nutella talk 21:44, 6 June 2021 (UTC)


 * ref 64 says "Your connection is not private" and is not opening up for me Aza24 (talk) 22:47, 5 June 2021 (UTC)
 * thanks for your review. What about now? Gaga Nutella talk 21:44, 6 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Looks great, pass for source review. Aza24 (talk) 23:33, 6 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Amazing, ! Thank you for this review. Gaga Nutella talk 23:38, 6 June 2021 (UTC)
