Australian actress Nicole Kidman is known for films such as Dead Calm (1989) Days of Thunder (1990), Eyes Wide Shut (1999), Moulin Rouge! (2001), and her Oscar-winning turn as Virginia Woolf in The Hours (2002). This list is a hopefully comprehensive rundown of her film and television career thus far. As usual I welcome constructive comments on how to improve it. Cowlibob (talk) 22:22, 8 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Comments from jonkerz

[edit]

Very nice article; here are my initial comments after a first read-through and cross-referencing with IMDb:
Film section

  • Wills and Burke – The Untold Story is not wikilinked (Wills & Burke on WP)
  • Watch the Shadows Dance is not wikilinked, neither is the director Mark Joffe
  • The Bit Part is not wikilinked
  • Emerald City: role listed as 'Helen Davey' in the article, but 'Helen McCord' on IMDb
  • Bewitched: role listed as 'Isabel Bigelow' in the article, but 'Isabel Bigelow / Samantha' on IMDb
  • Happy Feet: voice only, this could be included in the notes

TV section

  • Five Mile Creek: this is the only television series that does not list the number of episodes. Listing it first in the section gives the impression that this was Kidman's first television appearance, but she only starred in season 3 which aired in 1985 (IMDb).
  • Chase Through the Night: released 1983 according to the list and the main article, but 1984 according to IMDb
  • Archer's Adventure is not wikilinked (Archer (film) on WP), and does not list the channel
  • Winners: it could be noted that the episode Kidman starred in was spun off into the 1987 movie adaptation Room to Move

Misc comments

@Jonkerz:Thanks for the review. Am in the process of sorting all these. Got most done. Some clarifications. Helen Davey is the character she played in Emerald City an adaptation of the play, she was the girlfriend of Mike McCord. Winners was an anthology series of eight feature length television episodes with one of them being Room to Move. Television films I've also considered as feature length television productions so should be in the television section. Thanks for the wikilinks, I had searched for them before but seem to have missed these ones. Cowlibob (talk) 19:46, 16 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Image review: both photos are freely licensed and their captions match Google Image search results for "Kidman Cannes Film Festival 2001/2013". Neither File:Nicole_kidman3cropped.jpg nor the non-cropped image mention anything about "Kidman promoting Moulin Rouge! ..." (from the caption), but this album confirms that this was the reason she was in Cannes, so that's not really an issue.
  • Sorting, including "Last, First", works for all relevant columns.
@Jonkerz: Thanks for the image review. I think I've sorted all of the above comments. Cowlibob (talk) 17:59, 19 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Comments from SNUGGUMS

[edit]

It's mostly good but I've got nitpicks

  • "increasing her profile internationally"..... reads awkwardly
  • Remove the comma after "actress" in "she played actress, and princess Grace Kelly"
  • "Voice only" → "Voice role"
  • No need to include Nicole Kidman discography in "See also"

Shouldn't take long to sort out Snuggums (talk / edits) 16:14, 24 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@SNUGGUMS: Thanks for the review I think I've dealt with your points.Cowlibob (talk) 19:41, 25 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
No problem. I can now support this for FL. Snuggums (talk / edits) 19:46, 25 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Resolved comments from Frankie talk
  • "Her performance as a married woman trapped on a yacht with a psychopathic murderer earned critical acclaim as well as increasing her profile internationally" – in which film?
  • The WP:ALT texts of the two images are a bit similar. Tweak a bit.
  • "In 2001, she starred as a courtesan" – don't start a para with a pronoun.
  • "she appeared in the science fiction remake The Stepford Wives (2004)" – either elaborate or remove "remake".
  • xxx years later found four times in the prose. Tweak a bit.
  • Nadia / Sophia – see MOS:SLASH.
  • Isabel Bigelow / Samantha – ditto.
  • Expand the name of the publisher in ref 3.
  • Maintain consistency with BBC and BBC News in references.
  • A few MOS:DASH violations in references' titles. -- Frankie talk 19:17, 24 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
@FrB.TG: Thanks for the review. I think I've dealt with the points. Please point out the dash violations as I thought I had got all of them. Cowlibob (talk) 19:48, 25 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Ref 15, 45, and 69. One more point: "was in the 1989 thriller Dead Calm, her performance" – I think a semicolon instead of the comma would do better. Also,, I think you should add a footnote, where she has played dual roles or the same role with two names, just like some Indian filmographies. -- Frankie talk 19:53, 25 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
@FrB.TG: Have fixed errors. Added footnotes to explain the two names.Cowlibob (talk) 20:24, 25 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
