List of Indonesian submissions for the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film edit

Nominating another submission list. sephiroth bcr (converse) 02:34, 23 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comments - sources look good, links checked out with the link checker tool. Note I was unable to check the non-English sources. Ealdgyth - Talk 13:41, 23 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Weak support - really gives a little content, but meets the FL criteria and I found no flaws.--SRX 01:02, 24 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Comments from Gary King (talk · contribs)
  • "Indonesian director Riri Riza had one of his films, Gie, submitted for the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film" can have a period at the end since it's a full sentence.
  • "Indonesia has submitted films for the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film since 1987." – I think "Indonesia has submitted films to be considerated for the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film since 1987." is clearer? I was thinking of making it "Indonesia has submitted films for consideration for the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film since 1987." but then there are two "for"s.
  • "the United States Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences to" – "the American Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences to" – otherwise it seems that "United States" is part of the organization's title. Also, unlink the United States/American.
  • "It was not created until the 1956 Academy Awards," – "It was created in 1956," or something along those lines

Weak oppose - redlinks, presentation and some phrasing...

  • A lot of redlinks. If you think these are worthy are linking, can I (boldly/cheekily) request you, at least, create stubs for them?
  • Per past FLCs, I'm more than happy to make stubs for the films, which are the main subject of the list, but not for the other stuff, especially the directors, who may or may not be notable. sephiroth bcr (converse) 19:30, 29 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Again, (and I guess this is Safari under MacOS for you) the lead image overlaps the top-right-hand-side of the table.
  • Fixed (hopefully). If this doesn't work, I'll cut the image. It's not that necessary. sephiroth bcr (converse) 19:30, 29 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • "is handed out " - a shade colloquial - perhaps - "is presented to"..?
  • "Indonesian director Riri Riza had one of his films" - "had one" yuck. Can we rephrase this a bit? "...Riza, whose film... was nominated for..."?

  • Weak support - still not keen on the number of redlinks but everything else is in order. The Rambling Man (talk) 16:16, 30 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
