Tarantino is hands down one of the best modern film directors (alongside Nolan, Spielberg and Scorsese); his films are often characterized by gore, violence, nonlinear storyline, and pop culture references. His most popular and successful films include Pulp Fiction (1994), Kill Bill (2004-05), Inglorious Basterds (2009) and Django Unchained (2012). This is my first filmography on a filmmaker and my first filmography since last August. I reckon it is close to meeting the six criteria. FrB.TG (talk) 16:19, 12 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comments from Yashthepunisher

  • There is a typo in the caption of the third Image.
Good catch!
  • I'd suggest you to trim the 'promoting H 8' bit from the caption, its too long.
  • A comma is missing from the first alt text.
  • "..Sin City (2005) is not count." I think it should be "counted" instead, maybe.
You got me there!
  • My Best Friend's Birthday was a short film, that should be mentioned.
  • Is it 'jewelry' or 'Jewellery'?
They're both, but the former is American English.
  • "His screenplay in Tony Scott's.." --> His screenplay for.
  • Do we need to mention that he appeared briefly in Pulp?
  • Kill Bill's plot detail is too much for a filmography, try trimming it down.
  • I guess he directed one of the stories in Sin City not a scene.
Not according to the source – it says, "Tarantino because he directed one brief scene"

Comments from Pavanjandhyala
  • "The film earned Tarantino an Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay and a Best Director nomination, and is cited in the media as a defining film of the modern cinema." -- This line IMHO should be the other way around. Like: "Cited in the media as a defining film of the modern cinema, Pulp Fiction earned Tarantino an Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay and a Best Director nomination." BTW, is it just American cinema or global cinema?
  • "Also in 1994, he served as an executive producer in Killing Zoe..." -- i think "for" is better than "in" in this case.
  • "which reached cult status and spawned several sequels" -- how about "attained cult status"?
  • "The latter, a two-part martial arts film (Volume 1 and Volume 2), follows a former assassin, seeking revenge on her ex-colleagues who attempted to kill her." -- This line requires reliable sourcing.
  • "he directed the segment, titled Death Proof." -- I suggest you to either remove the comma, or change "the segment" to "a segment". Any one change you like.
Changed to "the segment Death Proof". Better this way, I think.
  • In the case of Inglorious Basterds, a film is written first and directed next.
  • "His greatest commercial success came with the 2012 western film Django Unchained" -- I suggest you to rephrase it as "The 2012 western film Django unchained was Tarantino's greatest commercial success".
In this case I somehow find the former sentence more interesting.
  • Ref no. 12 is redirecting. Please fix it.
  • All the images used have no licensing issues with proper alt text.

Let me know once you are done. Pavanjandhyala (talk) 11:36, 5 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
