I am nominating this list because I started adding the accolades at the parent article, and then split into it due to the announcement of nominations by some award groups and organizations during the film's opening week, than Star Wars: The Force Awakens. The Way of Water and its sequels are more exciting and beautiful than the adorable-but-despicable Star Wars sequel trilogy. Chompy Ace 06:02, 25 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Comment edit

  • My only comment is that I don't think "Its story follows a Na'vi named Jake Sully (Worthington) as he and his family, under renewed human threat, seek refuge with the Metkayina clan of Pandora." really helps to explain what the film is about to anyone who hasn't seen it or the first one (like me). It doesn't say that Pandora is a planet or that Na'vi is a race that lives there. Could you explain in a tiny bit more detail? -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 08:00, 25 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
ChrisTheDude, done. Chompy Ace 08:44, 25 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Dank edit

  • Standard disclaimer: I don't know what I'm doing, and I mostly AGF on sourcing.
  • I personally don't think there's a problem with FLC criterion #6 (stability), but I want to acknowledge that opinions differ on this. There have been new awards as recently as a few days ago, and there will undoubtedly be more coming. All things considered, I don't think that's a reason to hold up an FLC nomination.
  • Checking the FLC criteria:
  • 1. I've done a little copyediting; feel free to revert or discuss. I checked sorting on all sortable columns and sampled the links in the table.
  • 2. The lead meets WP:LEAD and defines the inclusion criteria.
  • 3a. The list has comprehensive items and annotations.
  • 3b. The list is well-sourced to reliable sources, and the UPSD tool isn't indicating any actual problems (but this isn't a source review). All relevant retrieval dates are present.
  • 3c. The list meets requirements as a stand-alone list, it isn't a content fork, it doesn't largely duplicate another article (that I can find), and it wouldn't fit easily inside another article.
  • 4. It is navigable.
  • 5. It meets style requirements. The one image is fine.
  • 6. It is stable (but see above).
  • Close enough for a support. Well done.
  • Don't worry about this if you're busy, but I could really use another review on List of early-diverging flowering plant families ... I can't put up my next nomination until I get one more review on that one. - Dank (push to talk) 15:21, 25 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    • I got my review already ... but feel free to come review anyway! - Dank (push to talk) 13:18, 26 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Support from PanagiotisZois edit

Man, I remember seeing the first movies ages ago in school during class time... The Way of Water was actually the first movie I'd seen in years in theatres, but I hadn't seen the first in years, so I often didn't know what the hell was going on. XD Oh well, at least it had big blue men in loincloths. Anyway, great work on the list, but I have a few comments; sidenote, my math sucks.

According to the table, we have:

  1. 38 outright "Wins".
  2. 1 award still "Pending".
  3. and 67 "Nominations" or "Losses".

However, the infobox shows only 36 "Wins". Moreover, we have 107 "Nominations", rather than 106.

Concerning this, there also appear to be a few discrepancies between the table and infobox.

  1. The infobox states that the film received 0 Black Reel Awards, when the table says otherwise.
  2. Critics' Choice Movie Awards: the table shows there were 6 nominations and 1 win; the infobox shows however only 5 nominations.
  3. National Board of Review Awards: the infobox shows 2 awards from 2 wins; but it was only one award from one nomination as shown in the table.
  4. New York Film Critics Circle Awards appears on the infobox but not the table.
  5. San Diego Film Critics Society Awards: the infobox shows 0 wins but the table shows 1.
  6. St. Louis Film Critics Association Awards: appears in infobox but not the table.
  7. Washington D.C. Area Film Critics Association Awards: Table shows 1 win, whereas infobox shows 0.

Looking at a few other similar lists like this one, I'd recommend adding some brief info on the film's production. This would also help increase the size of the lead section, and hopefully ensure that the infobox doesn't indent the table to the left. --PanagiotisZois (talk) 17:55, 25 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

PanagiotisZois, done. Chompy Ace 21:21, 25 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Good job. Also, sorry about making the mistake regarding the St. Louis awards and not appearing on the table. The only other recommendation concerning prose would be adding some brief info on production in the second paragraph. --PanagiotisZois (talk) 21:37, 25 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
PanagiotisZois, done. Chompy Ace 22:59, 25 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Great. I made an edit so that the table doesn't become sandwhiched. Let me know if you don't like it and would like to reverse it. --PanagiotisZois (talk) 23:11, 25 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
PanagiotisZois, I don't like that in the References column in which refs are aligned left, which I like the middle one just like List of accolades received by Top Gun: Maverick and other lists do so (including List of accolades received by Toy Story 4), but it is done. Chompy Ace 23:16, 25 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
PanagiotisZois, I removed the production section per Special:Diff/1146641913, and other FLs such as List of accolades received by Toy Story 4, List of accolades received by Top Gun: Maverick, and List of accolades received by 1917 (2019 film); these lists have their production details omitted. Chompy Ace 03:20, 26 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
All right, the section about production isn't something I'm that hardpressed about. Most necessary changes have been made, so based on prose, I support this promotion. --PanagiotisZois (talk) 09:00, 26 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Source review passed; promoting. --PresN 18:40, 8 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
