Nominator(s): — Tomica (talk) 13:45, 19 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I am nominating this for featured list because... I have worked hard on it for certain period of time. Christian Bale is well known actor who deserves his own filmography page so that's the reason I created it. I think that the lead covers the most important content from the table, which is sortable and people can see how much the film budget was and its theater gross. For all the users who oppose I would like to post their comments so I can improve the article. Thank You— Tomica (talk) 13:45, 19 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • Perhaps start "The English actor Christian Bale..."? It sounds a bit weird without the definite article.
  • Re-worded sections and fixed all dates in the references. — Tomica (talk) 21:16, 19 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Use the alt text on all uses of the {{dagger}} template.
  • Not sure "Untitled Terrence Malick Project" should be italicised, as it's not a title.
  • References should use en-dashes (–) rather than hyphens (-) when they are spaced.

  • He starred as British journalist Arthur Stuart in the Todd Haynes-directed drama Velvet Goldmine (1998). Critics were divided on the film - critics were undecided on the film, or his performance? (I think his performance is more relevant here)
Done. — Tomica (talk) 19:01, 22 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Your mention of A Midsummer Night's Dream doesn't actually include the name, just a link. I think this is a flaw
  • When did Bale become recognized as a movie star? At which point in his career (American Psycho? Batman Begins?) I'm sure journalists have commented on this.
  • Despite positive reviews, the film was box office flop -> Despite positive reviews, the film was a box office flop
  • The same year, he starred in The Prestige (2006) alongside Hugh Jackman and David Bowie - I think Michael Caine and Scarlett Johansson had a higher billing than Bowie; it seems odd to include Bowie here
  • Replaced Bowie with Johansson. — Tomica (talk) 19:01, 22 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • "Bale co-starred Russel Crowe -> Bale co-starred with Russel Crowe?
  • Use consistent date formatting
  • Done (Please point me if there is other reference, cause I can't find it). — Tomica (talk) 19:01, 22 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • Add infobox about filmography please
  • Table don't met MOS:ACCESS, add scope cols and rows, as well as table captions, to ensure it does
  • The table already contains the proper formatting. Table captions are not a requirement. Zac  20:20, 23 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Allmovie → AllMovie
  • Per Wikipedia:Manual of Style (numbers), there should be a non-breaking space -   between a number and the unit of measurement. For example, instead of 5 kg, use 5 kg, which when you are editing the page, should look like: 5 kg

  • Two dab links, The Dark Knight and Scott Cooper.
  • Be consistent with your slash spacing.
  • TV film -> television film.
  • "but was claimed" why "but"? Just because it was commercially successful, doesn't mean a cult following is unusual.
  • "received a role in the 1994 drama Little Women, which received" repetitive.
  • You link "Walt Disney animated film" but you didn't link "Disney musical drama" which came before it (nor did you call it a Walt Disney muscial...), why?
  • Because there is not a "Walt Disney music drama" article or re-direct. However, I linked Walt Disney now. — Tomica (talk) 14:18, 24 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • "was "eagerly anticipated"" yeah, before it was seen, but how was it actually received.
  • The sentence is grammatically correct, I searched but I didn't find anything about the receivement of the role. — Tomica (talk) 14:18, 24 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • "he portrayed the serial killer Patrick Bateman.[12] His portrayal " repetitive use of portray.
  • Russell Crowe has two l's in his first name...
  • Ooops. My mistake, sorry, now is fixed. — Tomica (talk) 15:53, 24 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • When you say Johnny Deep, do you mean Depp?
  • "starred alongside " followed by "played alongside" is repetitive.
  • Empty cells aren't good, for unreleased films, their box office cells should contain some explanatory note.
  • What do blank box office cells mean for films that are released? Not clear to the reader.
  • No mention in the lead of adverts (besides the opening one-liner) or video games (at all).
  • I mentioned his voice lent in the game, tbh I don't think the advertisements are not notable for the lead since there is too much info already. — Tomica (talk) 14:18, 24 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • According to our article, Flixter is actually called Flixster.

  • Support The lead is comprehensive, tables are formatted properly and references are in check. Nice work. Rayman95 (talk) 19:26, 26 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • Have quite a few sentences that start with "In 1992" etc, its not great prose, doesn't flow well presently, try and vary the sentences structures up
  • Reduced the using of In [year], however, still left some of them. They are present in the upper featured list I pointed. — Tomica (talk) 12:47, 27 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • "and was claimed to have gained a cult following" surely it either has a following or not? currently its a weak statement
  • "positively met by movie critics" received would be better than met, doesn't sound right when referring to a film
  • "it was commercial success" missing a word here
  • No need for television programmes and video games tables to be sortable with only one item in both

"*Done. — Tomica (talk)`

  • ref 24 needs the author adding
