Back to the FLC process after a big gap with another filmography list of an Indian film actor. I hope some of you take the time out to review this. Cheers! Krimuk2.0 (talk) 14:07, 24 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Comments from Aoba47

[edit]
  • I would add ALT text to the main image.
  • For this part (In 2010 Kapoor played a character based), there should be a comma between “2010” and “Kapoor”.
  • For this sentence (In Imtiaz Ali's musical Rockstar(2011) he played an aspiring singer, and in Anurag Basu's comedy-drama Barfi!(2012) he starred as a joyful deaf and mute man.), there should be two commas after the “in…” phrases.
  • For this part (earned over ₹2.95 billion (US$44 million), I would wikilink the currency.
  • I would add a reference to this sentence (In addition to acting in films, Kapoor has co-hosted four Filmfare Award ceremonies.) since everything else in the lead is referenced.
I have removed this bit from the lead, and added a sentence about his recent release. Krimuk2.0 (talk) 11:25, 6 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Great work with this list! Once my comments are addressed, I will support this for promotion. Have a wonderful day! Aoba47 (talk) 23:28, 5 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Aoba47, thanks for reviewing this. :) Krimuk2.0 (talk) 11:25, 6 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]
None of them seem to have an issue when I open this, and the references have been archived anyway. --Krimuk2.0 (talk) 14:09, 18 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Wasn't Raajneeti predominantly based on Mahabharat with some scenes lifted from The Godfather?
That's right, and his character was deemed to be an amalgamation of Arjuna and Michael Corleone. --Krimuk2.0 (talk) 14:09, 18 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • I think the word 'highly' should be removed for the sake of neutrality.
Reworded. --Krimuk2.0 (talk) 14:09, 18 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • I have noticed that in the first two para's, his success is only measured on how his films have fared commercially. Something on how his roles were received critically.
Added a line about Barfi! and Rockstar. --Krimuk2.0 (talk) 14:09, 18 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • At ref 28, News18 --> CNN-News18.
Changed. --Krimuk2.0 (talk) 14:09, 18 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Yashthepunisher, thanks for the review. Much appreciated. :) Krimuk2.0 (talk) 14:09, 18 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment Support – The only thing I would suggest is that the Music video table doesn't need to be sortable since it consists of only one entry. Otherwise, I can't spot any other problems with this list. Giants2008 (Talk) 21:13, 9 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Giants2008 agreed, done. Krimuk2.0 (talk) 06:19, 10 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Resolved comments from TompaDompa (talk) 10:33, 14 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
*"His performance in all three won him the Filmfare Critics Award for Best Actor." – I feel like this could be rephrased to make it clearer that it was one award for all three movies combined, lest the reader misunderstand it as one award for each of the three movies.
  • Avoid saying movies "earn" money. Use "gross" instead. Along the same lines, "highest" is preferable to "biggest" in those contexts.
  • "The years 2011 to 2013 proved to be key for Kapoor", "This success was followed by a period of decline", and "Kapoor's career prospects improved in 2018" strike me as phrasings more befitting a magazine than an encyclopedia.
TompaDompa on the contrary, I strongly feel that such "analysis" lends heft to the prose and prevents it from being just a listing of him starring in X, which grossed Y and won him Z award. Krimuk2.0 (talk) 06:26, 13 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I agree that the "analysis" improves the article, but I don't like the current phrasing. TompaDompa (talk) 09:42, 13 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
TompaDompa I've tweaked the first of those sentences but I fail to see how else I could neutrally talk about a career downturn and a subsequent comeback. Krimuk2.0 (talk) 11:44, 13 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Well, I would remove "of decline" – the rest of the sentence speaks for itself without those two words. As for the latter, if you can find a source that calls it a comeback I'd just refer to it as a comeback. TompaDompa (talk) 11:49, 13 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
TompaDompa tweaked. Krimuk2.0 (talk) 16:01, 13 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • "His performance in both films was acclaimed" – I'd add "critically" before "acclaimed".
  • In the film table, I'd say the films he didn't act in (i.e. the first two in the list) should be marked with a colour and symbol (like the unreleased one is). I'd also say that the films where he only had a cameo or special appearance should be marked with a colour and symbol, for three different shadings and symbols in total.
I really don't see why such extraneous coding is necessary. Other featured filmography lists too don't follow this. Krimuk2.0 (talk) 06:26, 13 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Well, maybe they should. There's a pretty big difference between a role, a cameo, and a directing credit. I think it would benefit the reader. TompaDompa (talk) 09:42, 13 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
There absolutely is a difference, which is why we have the "notes" column. I appreciate your stylistic preference but I am not particularly in favour of this idea. I hope that's okay. :) Krimuk2.0 (talk) 11:44, 13 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I don't consider it a deal-breaker for WP:Featured list status, no. TompaDompa (talk) 16:10, 13 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

TompaDompa (talk) 23:26, 12 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

TompaDompa I've now used the appropriate historic value for the conversion of YJHD figures but since Sanju released less than two months ago, the current rate is fine. Krimuk2.0 (talk) 06:37, 14 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I guess it's okay, but it will go out of date and have to be changed later. Just figured my solution would mean it wouldn't have to be updated. TompaDompa (talk) 10:33, 14 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Support Great job! TompaDompa (talk) 10:33, 14 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
