Nominator(s): Questions? four Olifanofmrtennant (she/her) 07:07, 2 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I am nominating this for featured list because it meets the criteria for FL everything I spent a bi of time painstakingly sourcing everything on the page. I reached out to another editor (@Lady Lotus:) to co-nominate this with me and they agreed. Questions? four Olifanofmrtennant (she/her) 07:07, 2 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

DBC[edit]

  • I'll do a full review later, but as a drive-by comment I can see both "shared role with" and "shared roles with". Pretty sure it should be the former every time -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 08:19, 2 March 2024 (UTC) Done[reply]

More comments[edit]

  • "The following year, he starred in Kevin Macdonald's drama film" => "The following year, he starred in director Kevin Macdonald's drama film" Done
  • "the collective title of three films split into three parts" - so the three films were each split into three parts? For a total of nine films? I don't think that's what you mean...... Done
  • If you sort on any other column and then re-sort the "year" column back to chronological order, "TBA" jumps to the top, which isn't right. Until such time as it has a confirmed date, you'll need to use a sorting template to make it sort last. Done
  • "The Sandman" sorts incorrectly in the TV table Done
  • Think that's all I got! -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 17:38, 2 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 08:27, 18 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Pseud 14[edit]

In addition to Chris's comments above

  • I would drop The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, and link it to 1950s novel instead so it won't appear repetitive. Done
  • In most cases I'm guilty of this too, but avoid WP:OFTHESAMENAME as much as possible -- McAvoy was cast as Charles Xavier, based on the Marvel Comics fictional character would be better Done
  • I would also refer to X-Men First Class as where he was cast in the role first. i.e. -- McAvoy was cast as Charles Xavier, based on ..., in the superhero film X-Men First Class, or somewhere along those lines. Done
  • In the next sentence, you could then state that he reprised the role or he returned to play the role in the film series installments and list them... Done
  • Stephen King's 1986 novel of the same name. -- Stephen King's 1986 novel or the 1986 novel by Stephen King are possible ways to write it. Done
  • I was wondering why there is only one line in the last paragraph discussing his stage credits. Perhaps this can be expanded and lumped into the lead, as he appears to have at least four Laurence Olivier nominations among the many roles he played, which suggests that it may be notable and perhaps worth including. Done
  • That's all from me. Great job on this. Pseud 14 (talk) 16:34, 3 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Accessibility review (MOS:DTAB)[edit]

  • Tables need captions, which allow screen reader software to jump straight to named tables without having to read out all of the text before it each time. Visual captions can be added by putting |+ caption_text as the first line of the table code; if that caption would duplicate a nearby section header, you can make it screen-reader-only by putting |+ {{sronly|caption_text}} instead. Done
  • Please see MOS:DTAB for example table code if this isn't clear. I don't return to these reviews until the nomination is ready to close, so ping me if you have any questions. --PresN 15:18, 10 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Image review from Dylan620[edit]

Helping out a fellow WikiCup participant as a thank-you for approving the DYK hook I submitted recently :) Quick note though, I've converted the "Done" templates into text – the FLC participation instructions discourage graphics and templates containing graphics, as they slow down the load time.

  • There is a bit of a representation gap between 2007 and 2013, and again after 2015. At Commons:Category:James McAvoy by year, you can find several quality images of McAvoy from 2008 and 2019. I recommend adding an image from each of those two years. I also recommend putting an image in each of the television and stage sections; maybe 2007, 2008, and 2013 for film, 2019 for television, and 2015 for stage?
  • Licensing checks out across the board. Of the four images currently being used, VRT directly received permissions for two of them; the other two are licensed under CC.
  • All images are of sufficient quality and contribute encyclopedic value to the listicle.
  • Ordinarily I would urge adding alt text, but in this case I think the captions themselves are sufficient and any alt text would be redundant. (The only possible alt text addition I can think of for all four of these images would be to add alt=Headshot of James McAvoy, which would not be particularly helpful.)

Once the first point is addressed, I will be comfortable supporting. Dylan620 (he/him • talk • edits) 22:21, 5 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Addressed. Questions? four Olifanofmrtennant (she/her) 03:15, 6 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I'm a little embarrassed that my suggestion may have done more harm than good. I checked the edits you made while browsing on mobile during a break at work, and the image formatting looked fine. Here on my laptop, though, the images in the television and stage sections are cutting through the section headers below them. I suppose the images in those sections could have their display sizes set to be smaller than the default thumbnail size (so as to match those in the film section), and then one of the images in the television section could be shifted upwards to the end of the film section?
