Matthew McConaughey filmography

 * Nominator(s): Cowlibob (talk) 12:17, 21 November 2014 (UTC)

Here's another filmography article from me. This time for Matthew McConaughey whose career has had a recent resurgence with films such as Killer Joe, Bernie and of course his Academy Award winning role in Dallas Buyers Club. As always look forward to all the helpful comments on how to improve it. Cowlibob (talk) 12:17, 21 November 2014 (UTC)

Comments from SNUGGUMS
Here's my 2¢..... This is in decent shape, just needs touching up.  Snuggums ( talk  /  edits ) 00:16, 4 December 2014 (UTC)
 * "The following year McConaughey played lawyer"..... add a comma after "year"
 * "starring in various films of this genre"..... reads awkwardly, maybe "for his roles in"
 * "However in the beginning of the following decade McConaughey took on more serious dramatic roles"..... questionable tone
 * "The following year he played the titular role in both Southern Gothic crime film Killer Joe, and coming-of-age drama Mud"..... I'd put the time frame at the end of this sentence
 * "For his performance in the former he received the Saturn Award for Best Actor"..... add a comma after "former"
 * "McConaughey next role" → "McConaughey's next role" (typo)
 * Why is there no description for his roles in the "music videos" section?
 * Digital Spy isn't the worst of sources, but I'm confident you can find something better
 * Rotten Tomatoes is owned by Flixster
 * Reuters is owned by The Woodbridge Company
 * YouTube is generally discouraged when reliable secondary sources are available
 * Thanks for the review. I think I've sorted these out. Replaced Digital Spy with Associated Press. Added roles to the music video appearances. Removed YouTube link. Cowlibob (talk) 16:12, 6 December 2014 (UTC)
 * My pleasure, I can now gladly support :)  Snuggums ( talk  /  edits ) 20:03, 6 December 2014 (UTC)

Do you have any other remaining concerns with this FLC TRM? Cowlibob (talk) 13:15, 28 December 2014 (UTC)


 * Support: I have made some copy-edits in the lead, and have separated the second paragraph into two parts for better readability. Of course, those are cosmetic changes, and you can revert if you like. Good job once again Cowlibob! I must say that I look forward to your filmography lists at the FAC. -- KRIMUK  90  ✉  09:15, 29 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the support and appreciation! Cowlibob (talk) 17:10, 29 December 2014 (UTC)

Comment: The second para of thelead ends with an unsupported line (half is in the article, but you need something to support the bits of the sentence that claim "starred", "supporting role" and "Soderbergh-directed comedy-drama"). All good apart from that. - SchroCat (talk) 06:13, 31 December 2014 (UTC)
