Nominator(s): Damian Vo (talk) 02:50, 26 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

A list covers the Vietnamese submissions for the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film. I am nominating this for featured list because I believe it meets all of the FL criteria. Any feedback is greatly appreciated. Damian Vo (talk) 02:50, 26 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comments by Allied45

"Note A" could be condensed to "The category is set to be renamed as the Best International Feature Film, beginning at the 92nd Academy Awards in 2020."
"It is the only Vietnamese film to have secured a nomination and the first nomination received by a Southeast Asian country in the category" --> add a comma after "secured a nomination" and add "was" before "the first nomination"
"It was, however, failed to included on the final list, announced by the AMPAS in October." --> "It was not, however, included on the final list announced by the AMPAS in October."
"Vietnam began to receive AMPAS' invitation to participate in the competition in 2006, after they require films to be released at least seven consecutive days in a commercial movie theater in their respective country during the eligibility period." --> "Vietnam began to receive AMPAS' invitation to participate in the competition in 2006, when a requirement was introduced that films needed to be commercially-released for at least seven consecutive days in a movie theater in its respective country during the eligibility period."

Comments from HĐ

For sources from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences only the first reference should include the full name of the organization; for the followups just set the publisher to simply "AMPAS" (with wikilink removed).
I'm not sure if press releases qualify for reliable sources; I have encountered contrary opinions previously. If possible I'd recommend finding other reports from secondary sources instead of press releases. They're fine to me, but I'm not sure if other reviewers will point this out as an issue
Unlink "United States" in the lead and shorten it to "US"

Given the triviality of my concerns, I support this list for promotion, fantastic list content-wise and format-wise. HĐ (talk) 01:47, 28 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you so much for your support :) Damian Vo (talk) 13:40, 28 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comments from Lirim.Z

The scope should be the first column of the table. You could either add ! scope="row" to the year column or swap the Film and Year column. Other than that great article.--Lirim | Talk 08:43, 28 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Added. Thank you for your review. Damian Vo (talk) 13:40, 28 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comments from Aoba47

The image caption for the Trần Anh Hùng image should have punctuation as it is a full sentence.
For this sentence (It is the only Vietnamese film to have secured a nomination), I would simplify "to have secured" to "to secure".
For this part (was the only film responded to an open call for entries), I think that "submitted" would work better in this context.

Otherwise, everything looks good to me. Once these relatively minor points are addressed, I will be more than happy to support this for promotion. Aoba47 (talk) 16:03, 8 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

All done. Thank you so much! Damian Vo (talk) 02:15, 9 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for addressing everything. I support this for promotion. If possible, I would greatly appreciate any comments for my current FAC. Either way, I hope you have a great rest of your week. Aoba47 (talk) 04:15, 9 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comments from The Rambling Man

"Vietnam two times in the" -> two times ---> twice.
" is handed out annually" little bit colloquial, why not "is presented annually"?
"submission in 1993" bit easter egg linky, why not "submission for the 1993 awards" or similar.
"Vietnam began to receive AMPAS' invitation to participate " reads really odd to me, do you mean "Vietnam initially received AMPAS' invitation to participate " or something like that? I don't know how you can "begin to receive an invitation...."
AMPAS or "the" AMPAS? Be consistent.
"is actively decided by the MCST" why "actively"? and do you really mean "is chosen by"? or "decided upon by"?
"the chosen film must attain the highest score on a 10-point scale and the average above 9 points" is this information made public?
"Not Nominated" just " Not nominated" would be fine.

Thank you for the review, I fixed everything you mentioned above. The scoring system is publicly mentioned in the sources (#20 #21 #51). Damian Vo (talk) 03:01, 12 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Source review – The formatting of the sources and their reliability looks good, and the link-checker tool reveals no problems. Spot-checks of refs 30, 41, and 48 showed no issues. Overall, this source review looks like a pass. Giants2008 (Talk) 22:20, 28 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
