Comments
  • "At the same ceremony, three other music videos by the director were also nominated," - if the nominations were not for him, I wouldn't mention it here.
Removed. Damian Vo (talk) 10:10, 31 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • They are considered to be two of the most expensive music videos ever made - I would cut the consider part. They either are the most expensive music videos or not.
I fixed it. Damian Vo (talk) 10:10, 31 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • costing $7 million and $5 million respectively - comma before respectively.
Done. Damian Vo (talk) 10:10, 31 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • The former work also gained 11 nominations - "Scream" not the former
I fixed it. Damian Vo (talk) 10:10, 31 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • gained 11 nominations at the 1995 MTV Video Music Awards - if any of those nominations were for the director himself, I would mention it.
Removed. Damian Vo (talk) 10:10, 31 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I did not suggest removing this sentence. I suggested adding the nomination/s (if any) for Romanek himself at the ceremony. FrB.TG (talk) 14:48, 1 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
It was his only video nominated. I added a reference about his second MTV nomination. Damian Vo (talk) 16:55, 1 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • I would de-link comedy-drama as well as psychological thriller.
Done. Damian Vo (talk) 10:10, 31 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • And also romantic drama.
Done. Damian Vo (talk) 10:10, 31 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Rowspans are generally discouraged in filmographies as they hinder accessibility.
I fixed it. Damian Vo (talk) 10:10, 31 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • I see some inconsistencies in references which I will get to later.

Nice work. Sorry that this hasn't attracted any interest so far. I hope that you also consider reviewing Wikipedia:Featured list candidates/Beyoncé videography/archive1. FrB.TG (talk) 21:20, 30 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

That's alright. Please take your time, there's no need to hurry. Damian Vo (talk) 08:36, 1 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Here are some more:

  • I still see the usage of rowspan in the tables. They are frowned upon in filmographies as they hinder accessibility.
Fixed. Damian Vo (talk) 13:30, 4 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • References: CBS does not need italics.
Removed the italics. Damian Vo (talk) 13:30, 4 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Ref 2: Billboard should be wiki-linked here.
Done. Damian Vo (talk) 13:30, 4 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Ref 6: What makes this a high quality, reliable source?
I replaced it with an article from Forbes. Damian Vo (talk) 13:30, 4 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Ref 7: Wiki-link pls.
Done. Damian Vo (talk) 13:30, 4 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Ref 25: Same issue as above.
Done. Damian Vo (talk) 13:30, 4 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I fixed it. Damian Vo (talk) 13:30, 4 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you! Damian Vo (talk) 18:50, 4 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Comments from BeatlesLedTV
  • Makes the notes column in first table unsortable.
  • Center the year column in the "Commercials" table.
