Robert Bathurst filmography

 * Nominator(s): Bradley0110 (talk) 22:24, 19 August 2010 (UTC)

The filmography and list of stage roles of an actor you have probably never heard of.

I've been working on this list for the last month or so, mainly to get it up to WP:ACCESS's standards; all tables are sortable, the one image has alt text, and body text is not overlinked. Some may notice that there are gaps in the theatre table. This is because there are no reliable sources that cover Bathurst's early roles (since he was just a jobbing actor back then who didn't warrant much coverage). However, the section does fulfill section 3a of WIAFL (...providing at least all of the major items and, where practical, a complete set of items...).

I would hope that other editors agree with me that it fulfills the other FL criteria too. :) Bradley0110 (talk) 22:24, 19 August 2010 (UTC)


 * Quick comment: It seems redundant to have identical section titles as well as table titles. -- Another Believer ( Talk ) 19:29, 23 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Thanks, AB. User:Jack Merridew explained that it is a feature of WP:ACCESS. As I understand it, the section headings introduce the section for a screen reader, then be followed by prose information within the section (though in the case of this list, all of the information is contained in the lead), then be followed by an introduction to the table in the form of the table header.

 * Actually, that does make sense. -- Another Believer ( Talk ) 22:47, 27 August 2010 (UTC)


 * Support. I found no problems. Ruslik_ Zero 08:30, 25 August 2010 (UTC)


 * Support I made one minor tweak, but other than that, I don't see any other issues with the article. Good job. --Happy editing! Nehrams2020 (talk • contrib) 21:35, 18 September 2010 (UTC)
 * What is referencing the lists? Sandman888 (talk) 18:01, 21 September 2010 (UTC)
 * The five unnumbered references at the bottom of the article (the Footlights archives, the British Film Institute, the Stage archive and the Scottish Theatre Archive). I haven't used inline citations in the tables simply because of the number of different sources used for each entry could be confusing and potentially more difficult for verification, particularly in the theatre table, which could potentially have one source for the play, another for the character, another for the director and many for the performance history. However I have used inline citations to reference roles and performances not contained in any of those references, such as the Botham venues and the scheduled performance in Blithe Spirit. Bradley0110 (talk) 18:14, 21 September 2010 (UTC)
 * But to add to that (and further reveal my ignorance of Wiki-coding), I have moved the five bottom references into the table headings to hopefully make it clearer (and eliminate a clash of opinion with The Rambling Man over "general" and "specific" reference labels).

 * weak support weak because I'm new to the filmography format. Cant find anything missing here. Sandman888 (talk) 09:07, 28 September 2010 (UTC)
