Morgan Freeman on screen and stage

 * Nominator(s): LADY LOTUS • TALK 12:57, 24 November 2014 (UTC)

I am nominating this for featured list because he is one of the great actors of our generation and deserves to have a well written career history article. LADY LOTUS • TALK 12:57, 24 November 2014 (UTC)

Comments from The Rambling Man
Quick comments you've waited nearly a month for some interest....
 * " in The Pawnbroker (1964), and A Man Called Adam (1966)." no need for the comma.
 * LADY LOTUS • TALK 13:12, 22 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Any reason why the image captions avoid mentioning the subject matter?
 * I was told on another peer review/fl candidates comment that his last name isn't necessary since the article is about his career so it'd be redundant. I can add it back if you'd like. LADY LOTUS • TALK 13:12, 22 December 2014 (UTC)
 * "he was on the television series" he was "on"? Reads weird to me, why not, "he acted/featured in"?
 * LADY LOTUS • TALK 13:12, 22 December 2014 (UTC)
 * What sort of show was The Electric Company? It may help us to understand the "various characters" you go on to discuss.
 * LADY LOTUS • TALK 13:12, 22 December 2014 (UTC)
 * " earned him second Academy Award nomination for Best Actor, the first for " seems odd to do this in reverse order.
 * LADY LOTUS • TALK 13:12, 22 December 2014 (UTC)
 * "he was cast in the films" he appeared in more than those you listed, so perhaps it should be "in films, including..."

 * "he was in the science fiction action films" grim writing, need to fix it up a little.

 * - changed dates to mm, dd, yyyy format. <span style="text-shadow:4px 4px 15px #00F,-4px -4px 15px #49F;">LADY LOTUS • <span style="text-shadow:4px 4px 15px #F80,-4px -4px 15px #F08;">TALK 13:12, 22 December 2014 (UTC)

Comments from Cowlibob

 * Right, sourcing seems to be pretty much sorted except for the Earth Day Special which you can exclude if you want if you can't find an RS. I've done some reworking of the lead as I find that you share my tendency in making the prose of the lead very listy which doesn't really work in making "an engaging lead". So I've tried to reword it to be more like a story of his career rather than bullet points. It probably still needs a bit more work but hopefully looks better now.

 * Thanks so much. I removed the Earth Day special, maybe a RS will come along one day :) Is there anything else you find that needs to be fixed before you support it? <span style="text-shadow:4px 4px 15px #00F,-4px -4px 15px #49F;">LADY LOTUS • <span style="text-shadow:4px 4px 15px #F80,-4px -4px 15px #F08;">TALK 19:02, 14 January 2015 (UTC)
 * It's close I'll have a look at what I can do with the lead. Just needs some tweaking, I'll try to have a good look at it tomorrow. Cowlibob (talk) 19:14, 14 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Ok I think that does it. Happy to support now, good work! Cowlibob (talk) 22:54, 17 January 2015 (UTC)

Comments from Dr. Blofeld
Support Looks in good shape. I'm sure you'll complete Cow's points. One thing though you might change the web source authors with surname first like the books for consistency.♦ Dr. Blofeld  13:09, 31 December 2014 (UTC)


 * Thank you :) I made the book cites [firstname lastname] for consistency just because there were fewer of them as opposed to changing all the web cites. Hope that's ok. <span style="text-shadow:4px 4px 15px #00F,-4px -4px 15px #49F;">LADY LOTUS • <span style="text-shadow:4px 4px 15px #F80,-4px -4px 15px #F08;">TALK 14:48, 13 January 2015 (UTC)
