Meets FL criteria, based on Tony Award for Best Featured Actor in a Play, another FL. Albacore (talk) 02:35, 2 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comments from Ruby2010
  • No DAB links, and images look good
  • "In 1976, when the award's name changed to its current name..." Perhaps change one of the words for flow
Changed
  • "Supporting actress in two of three plays in Neil Simon's Eugene trilogy (Brighton Beach Memoirs and Broadway Bound) were nominated for the Tony..." Should that be "actresses"?
Yes, fixed.
  • No refs for the omitted ceremonies (1948, 50)?
Do I need them?
Added a note. Albacore (talk) 19:52, 11 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
The footnote looks good, but perhaps you could add more information than merely noting a ceremony wasn't held? Why did two years not have a ceremony? Has this been difficult to find reliable sources for? Ruby 2010/2013 22:22, 11 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, I can't find any sources saying why the award wasn't held. Is the note necessary then? Albacore (talk) 15:30, 14 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Probably not, but I just wanted to check. Ruby 2010/2013 17:04, 18 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Align the ref column so that each ref is in the middle (like you did with the year column)
Fixed, I think. On my browser/monitor I can't tell the difference. Albacore (talk) 01:06, 3 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • Role column isn't sorting particularly well for me, the Multiple's are split by two en-dash cells for instance.
Fixed. Albacore (talk) 02:53, 17 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Is there anything you could add about the awards ceremony itself? Where it's held? When? What the winners get?
Added who the awards were named after. Albacore (talk) 21:16, 24 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • "the same character in a play has never won the award more than once" probably my fuggy brain, but what does this mean? It's the actress that wins the award, not the character...
Reworded. Albacore (talk) 18:47, 17 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • "Supporting actresses in two of ..." but the award is for "featured actresses" isn't it? How does that work?!
As opposed to the Tony Award for Best Actress in a Play, which honors the main actress in a play, this award honors a supporting role. It's called supporting actress in a play in sources, [2], and was named the "Tony Award for Actress, Supporting or Featured (Dramatic)" before the name was changed.

    "six parts of August Wilson's The Pittsburgh Cycle series" -> I'm not convinced "series" isn't redundant here, coming right after "cycle", which already conveys that it's a series. I also think that you could pipe link out the "The" in "The Pittsburgh Cycle", it's not necessary given the possessive—the target article already makes use of "Wilson's Pittsburgh Cycle".
    "in the 2011 remake of The Normal Heart." -> Could be wrong, but wouldn't revival be the correct term, rather than remake, when it's stage plays we're talking about?
    " In 1976, when the award's name changed to its current title, Shirley Knight, portraying Carla in Robert Patrick's Kennedy's Children, won the award." -> I think this one reads a bit awkwardly. Perhaps " The award was renamed in 1976, with Shirley Knight becoming the first winner under the new title for her role as Carla in Robert Patrick's Kennedy's Children" might work a little better.
    Other than that, though, I'm happy enough to support this one. GRAPPLE X 20:38, 18 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
All addressed. I agree that "series" was redundant. Albacore (talk) 15:31, 20 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
