List of submissions to the 87th Academy Awards for Best Foreign Language Film

 * Nominator(s): User:LoveFromBJM (Talk) 18:08, 5 November 2015 (UTC)

This list provides a overview of the submissions to the 87th Academy Awards for Best Foreign Language Film. I look forward to the helpful comments on how to improve it. =] User:LoveFromBJM (Talk) 18:08, 5 November 2015 (UTC)


 * 1. Comments by Birdienest81
 * News sources whose titles are not italicized (i.e. BBC News, Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, etc.) should be moved from the works field to the publishers field since they are not newspapers, books, magazines, etc. DONE:Unitalicized
 * I'm not sure if using the film's poster is considered fair use in this context. The director's photo might be more appropriate in this case. DONE:Director's image is used
 * --More to come soon Birdienest81 (talk) 21:06, 11 November 2015 (UTC)
 * --Thank you for your comments, =]. I will help to resolve it and check whether the image can be used or not. Feel free to leave more comment. User:LoveFromBJM (talk) 13:29, 15 November 2015 (UTC)


 * 2. Comments by Cowlibob
 * Table needs rowscope and colscopes for accessibility.
 * Main image needs to be changed as I don't think the film poster will meet fair use. Director's image can replace it. DONE:Director's image is used
 * Ensure that all the info in each row is supported by the references. Including language of film, title, original title, director etc.
 * PDF refs need page number where the info is found
 * Sorting needs fixing in the table. e.g. "A Few..." should be sorted under F not A. "The Circle" should sort under C not T. The and A should be ignored for sorting.
 * Director(s) should sort by last name of the director in the table.
 * Ref 33 is dead.

 * --Thank you =},, I will try to resolve it. Do feel free to leave more comment. User:LoveFromBJM (talk) 14:15, 17 November 2015 (UTC)


 * 3. Comments from Vensatry
 * In these kinda lists, alt text should name the subject. DONE:Alt text for lead image is provided
 * --This is the alternate text for the lead image:"Bespectacled man in a grey suit. This is a photo of Paweł Pawlikowski in 2015.", is it appropriate?


 * Timbuktu and Abderrahmane Sissako are linked twice in the lead. DONE:Unlinked
 * De-link English language DONE:Unlinked
 * Is movie-on.blogspot.co.uk a reliable source? DONE:Removed the source, reused another source from AMPAS
 * Major geographic regions shouldn't be linked per WP:OVERLINK.
 * --Do you mean the links in the lead section or the lists?


 * "Three Windows and a Hanging, directed by Isa Qosja," The comma should be replaced by a semi-colon. DONE:Replaced the comma with a semi-colon
 * " In May 2014, Nigeria announced that AMPAS had approved the first-ever Nigerian Oscar selection committee and they would make their first Oscar submission; however, they did not submit a film by the deadline" is the latter part covered in the source?
 * The table needs row scopes.
 * "New York, Los Angeles and (for the first time) London" - Which on are you referring to?
 * I'd prefer votes to ballots, as the former is more formal.
 * "For the first time, the director's name would be engraved on the Oscar statuette in addition to the country name" - Was it implemented?
 * Poland's Ida - Country name is repetitive.
 * Per WP:SEEALSO, the section shouldn't contain links that are already covered in the article.
 * Why is 'News.az' italicised?
 * "OLVIDADOS E YVY MARAEY BUSCAN NOMINACIÓN AL OSCAR Y LOS GOYA" - WP:SHOUT
 * --But I'm a little bit unsure on how to change the title as I do not know Spanish, I will try to find another source or seek help from user who knows Spanish.


 * Publisher of ref #33 (Variety) should be italicised. DONE:Italicised
 * Are C7nema and ComingSoon.net 24 reliable sources?
 * The 'Academy Awards' template should be removed as it doesn't link to this page.

Delegate note: --, are you planning on returning to this nomination? It's almost 2 months old, and has outstanding issues from Vensatry and Cowlibob that you haven't addressed from weeks ago. -- Pres N  17:53, 28 December 2015 (UTC)
