List of submissions for the 77th Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film
Submitting another submission list for FL status. Sephiroth BCR ( Converse ) 04:48, 9 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Comments
 * "Every year, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences..." every single year ever? I think this needs a qualifier such as "Since ,"
 * "The Academy Awards have included the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film since 1956." I think this would sound better as "Since 1956, the award for Best Foreign Language Film has been included in the Academy Awards" or something like that.
 * "50 countries submitted films for review by the Academy" no need for "by the Academy." It is already stated in the previous sentence that the Academy is going to review the film.
 * "...which were rejected before the formal review process." "were" should be "was."
 * Nice job, it looks good. --The Original Editor (talk) 05:20, 9 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Fixes made. Sephiroth BCR  ( Converse ) 05:25, 9 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Support Good work.--The Original Editor (talk) 05:34, 9 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Comment If Ukraine's submission is not counted as an official submission, then why is A Driver for Vera listed as such? -- Crzycheetah 05:55, 9 July 2008 (UTC)
 * It's still technically a submission since that country's film board decided to send the film. The Academy disqualifying it just means that it isn't reviewed by the Foreign Films Committee, which determines the nominees. Sephiroth BCR  ( Converse ) 06:15, 9 July 2008 (UTC)
 * There is a slight contradiction here. The lead states that 50 countries submitted, but the tables lists 51 submissions. It would be better if you changed the lead to indicate that 51 countries submitted films, but only 50 were reviewed. Also, either spell out 50 or rephrase, so that a figure does not begin the sentence per WP:NUMBERS.-- Crzycheetah 03:20, 10 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Fixed. Sephiroth BCR  ( Converse ) 07:21, 10 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Support Good enough for me.-- Crzycheetah 00:22, 11 July 2008 (UTC)

 * This is just a question and not a requirement to get my support, but why is green used for "nominated", and amber for "won"? It makes more sense in my mind to follow the traffic light system red →yellow → green for not nominated → nominated → won.
 * The color for the "won" is similar to that of the actual Academy Award, so I thought it was a bit quaint :p Sephiroth BCR  ( Converse ) 08:53, 18 July 2008 (UTC)
