Nominator(s): Cowlibob (talk) 14:59, 7 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Amy Adams is an actress known for films as Junebug (2005), Enchanted (2007), Doubt (2008), The Master (2012), American Hustle (2013), and Big Eyes (2014). She has been nominated five times for an Academy Award and received two Golden Globes. As always I look forward to all the helpful comments on how to improve it.

* "However, the film did not provide the breakthrough for her career as Spielberg had hoped." — Did Spielberg really hope this would be her breakthrough? Do you have a source for this information?
  • In all list where "/" is used it would be better to have a space before it as well as after it.
  • Since Amy's television credits are all from the United States the column listed as "Channel" should be changed to "Network".
  • Love and Distrust is listed as being a direct-to-video release. That bit of information does not appear in your source (Netflix). Jimknut (talk) 16:22, 11 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
@Jimknut: Thanks for the review. I think I've fixed your points. The info about Spielberg was in ref 1 but I've moved it up to make that clear. Added source for straight to DVD release. Cowlibob (talk) 09:55, 12 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
@Jimknut: Made them all uniform as Ref(s) because they all now have at least one entry with multiple references. Cowlibob (talk) 19:38, 12 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • "Three years later, she did so with the comedy-drama Junebug (2005), for which she received her first Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress nomination. Adams also appeared in the romantic comedy The Wedding Date (2005) that same year." — Since you are stating that The Wedding Date was in the same year there is no need to put "(2005)" after the title. Other than this I can't found anything wrong. I think the list looks extremely good … just like Amy. Jimknut (talk) 16:10, 20 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
@Jimknut: Done. Cowlibob (talk) 17:58, 20 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Support – Looks good. Jimknut (talk) 22:25, 20 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Comments from Lady Lotus

[edit]

I just was looking at this list, not realizing it was a FLC and wondered why it wasn't an FL already. I would however take out the "Network" column in the telvision section, I don't find it necessary and it's not uniform with the film table as it doesn't have the production company or anything. Past that, I support. LADY LOTUS • TALK 14:27, 21 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Lady Lotus: Done. Thanks for the review. Cowlibob (talk) 08:24, 22 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Comments
  • How confident are we that ref 1 isn't circular, i.e. that some/all of it could be derived from Wikipedia? There are some very similar phrases..."
  • "she did so" this doesn't follow, grammatically, as far I can see. Your previous sentence talked about "provide the breaktrough", not "breaking through".
  • If it's a filmography, why has it got theatre in it?
  • "Zoe, Duncan, Jack & Jane" appears to use "and" rather than an ampersand.
  • "Arthur Ochs Sulzberger, Jr." no comma required. But in any case, isn't the publisher "The New York Times Company"?

@The Rambling Man: I think I've sorted your points, thanks for the review. Replaced ref 1 with better refs. Tweaked sentence. Removed theatre. For The New York Times and other newspapers, I've chosen to use the actual name of publishers during the time of the source as their job title is literally publisher of said newspaper. Cowlibob (talk) 02:19, 6 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
@Nergaal: The consensus at WikiProject film is to not include awards in the tables for filmographies if there is a separate article devoted to awards which Amy Adams has but I've mentioned the key ones in the lead anyway like Oscar/ Golden Globes. Cowlibob (talk) 01:46, 8 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Resolved comments from SNUGGUMS

Another great filmography list from Cowlibob! My only nitpicks are these:

Otherwise, good to go. Snuggums (talk / edits) 19:27, 7 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@SNUGGUMS: Fixed all these points, I think. Thanks for the review. Cowlibob (talk) 01:46, 8 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
