Directed only

Contrary to what is claimed, this list seems to only have movies Eastwood has appeared in. Directed-only films such as Bird and Mystic River are left out. Wasted Time R 16:48, 29 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Pre-FLC review

A quick scan; I'll get anything I miss at FLC:

Unlink [[United States|American]], common geographical terms shouldn't be linked per WP:OVERLINK.
"He has appeared in over sixty television shows and films"
"Eastwood ventured into directing in the 1970s" "ventured" leads to the inference that it was but a side job, not a focused effort, can you use a better verb (very picky, I know)?
"a box office revenue tracking website"-->a box-office-revenue tracking website
"films which Eastwood "-->films that Eastwood
Put em dashes in the blank cells. I forgot to mention this in the Arnold Schwarzenegger filmography FLC. Dabomb87 (talk) 22:54, 13 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Alternatively, you can add {{nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot}} to keep me off the page altogether. I made the following changes:

Added archive http://web.archive.org/web/20090112202716/http://movies.yahoo.com:80/movie/contributor/1800019744/filmography to http://movies.yahoo.com/movie/contributor/1800019744/filmography

When you have finished reviewing my changes, please set the checked parameter below to true or failed to let others know (documentation at {{Sourcecheck}}).

Name credits

I agree with the recent changes that have attempted to be made. I understand the common name principle, I don't think that applies here. We're not talking about how the character should be referred to in other texts, we're talking about the credited role. The character from A Fistful of Dollars is "Joe". Joe may also be referred to as the "Man with No Name", but he's still Joe. I don't think we should start using nicknames for literary characters in the columns designated for credits.

WP:COMMONNAME: "Some topics have multiple names ... [Wikipedia] generally prefers the name that is most commonly used (as determined by its prevalence in a significant majority of independent, reliable English-language sources)". The name "Man with No Name" is more recognizable than Joe, Manco, and Blondie. This also makes sorting names easier. Some Dude From North Carolina (talk) 20:19, 14 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I'll stand by my vote, especially given that I don't believe they're necessarily the same character, as the man with no name was an invention of the American marketplace. But until there's a majority vote in this direction, I won't make the change, I'll stick with the community vote. SweetTaylorJames (talk) 04:32, 27 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
