Nominator(s): Cowlibob (talk) 08:33, 10 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

British actress Naomi Watts is known for her roles in Mulholland Drive, The Ring, 21 Grams, and more recently in the television series Gypsy and The Loudest Voice. As always I welcome constructive comments on how to improve it. Cowlibob (talk) 08:33, 10 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comments
  • "in Alejandro González Iñárritu-directed" => "in the Alejandro González Iñárritu-directed"
  • "for which she garnered a nomination for Best Actress" => "for which she garnered nominations for Best Actress" (as it refers to three separate nominations)
  • "in biographical drama Fair Game" => "in the biographical drama Fair Game"
  • Film titles which start with a number should sort as if they start with the equivalent word
  • If you sort on any other column and then try to resort on the year column, the TBA values all go to the top when they should go to the bottom
  • Think that's it from me, looking good generally! -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 17:51, 10 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@ChrisTheDude: Thanks for your review. I think I've sorted the above. Cowlibob (talk) 13:35, 16 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Comment
  • Sorry to throw a spanner in the works, but is there a reason why filmographies have shifted from the film being the first column to the year? Going by the guidelines on MOS:DTT, would it not be more beneficial for visually impaired users to have the film in the row scopes rather than the year? Seeing as that is the more important info, in my eyes anyway, shouldn't they be structured the same way as discographies and accolades list? The guideline I have linked to all has an example table of a filmography that is in the style I mentioned. This seems to have been common practice judging by older nominations, is there a reason why this has changed? - NapHit (talk) 19:34, 20 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@NapHit: Thanks for your comment. The table is per WP:FILMOGRAPHY which is the agreed model per consensus for these type of lists by the relevant WikiProject. Most FLCs and lists of this nature follow this format to my knowledge. I don't have a preference. Cowlibob (talk) 08:10, 13 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • I will assume good faith that File:Naomi Watts Cannes 2015 2.jpg is the uploader's work as claimed.
  • Starting three consecutive sentences with "she" (as you've done in the first paragraph) is repetitive.
  • Don't use episode counts for starring/major recurring roles. For Twin Peaks, I'd just replace that count with "Season 3".
  • Perhaps the "(voice)" could be moved to the notes column under "Video games".

These shouldn't be too hard to fix. SNUGGUMS (talk / edits) 03:31, 29 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@SNUGGUMS: Thanks for your review. I've made amendments per above. Removed the unused notes column in the video games section. I think the photo is by a prolific uploader who has given an OTRS ticket verifying this. Cowlibob (talk) 08:01, 13 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

You now have my support. Another job well done! SNUGGUMS (talk / edits) 13:18, 13 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

(Intending to claim WikiCup points for this review.)
  • has appeared in ... video games – Just the one, right? I'm not sure the video game warrants mention in the first sentence. Can I suggest mentioning the countries her main TV/film credits come from instead? It seems at a first glance that she's worked on many American and Australian projects.
  • She then pursued a brief career in the fashion industry including as a model and later as a fashion editor. — "including ... and later" reads a bit oddly. Either "fashion industry, first as a model and later as a fashion editor" if this is factually correct or "including as a model and a fashion editor" if these are just the two most significant aspects of this career.
  • Children of the Corn IV needs the year of release after its mention.
  • in psychological thriller series Gypsy — "in the psychological thriller ..." to avoid the false title, for consistency with the rest of the lead.
  • In Film, perhaps the header "Role" should be "Role(s)" because of Ophelia.
  • On the same note, "/" is used twice, but once for the same character under two names and once for two different characters. Perhaps the latter could be changed for clarity, to either "and" or a line break.
  • "Leo's Girlfriend" – Why the uppercase "G"?
  • "also associate producer" – "Also" for consistency.
  • The opposite of a point above. In Television, "Role(s)" should be "Role" as there's only one role per show listed.
  • MOS:NUMNOTES says In tables and infoboxes, quantities are expressed in figures; but numbers within a table's explanatory text and comments follow the general rule. To be honest, I'm not clear on which the "Notes" column comes under. Which do you think? This is important for the Television cells "1 episode" and "Season 3".
  • Can you get a verifiable figure for the number of Home and Away episodes Watts was in, or is that too big an ask? I believe this is the only thing in Television where she didn't appear in the entire thing, but there isn't a note to say how much she was in.
  • Source spotchecks done on refs #4, #7, #11, #17, #18, #51, #70, #96, #101 and #108, as of this oldid, with no issues. Ref #91 issue: not convinced that "in negotiations" is the same as "will appear in", especially when the source is from a while ago. A more recent one like this should work.
  • Ref #109 can be archived; I think TheWrap should be in italics and it should be linked as this is its first appearance in the reference section. Couldn't find a single other inconsistency.
  • Image license is good.

A comprehensive list with very impressive attention to detail overall, just a few nitpicks. — Bilorv (Black Lives Matter) 19:13, 18 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Bilorv: Thanks for your review. I think I've fixed the above. For the numbers in the table, I think they would be the former so have expressed all the numbers as figures rather than words. It would look strange to express season number by its words than numbers. Replaced ref for Boss Level with your one, thanks. Added a ref for number of episodes on Home and Away. Cowlibob (talk) 09:34, 24 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Support: one small change in response to the new content, here. Revert if you prefer the old version. All issues listed above addressed. Excellent layout, consistent style, comprehensive and well-sourced. — Bilorv (Black Lives Matter) 12:18, 24 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
