List of actors with two or more Academy Awards in acting categories[edit]

Trying this format out. sephiroth bcr (converse) 06:22, 21 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comments - Good prose, I just don't like the table.
    • I feel the ceremonies do better in a separate column, the way they are now stretch out the award the actor won.
    • I find, in it's current format, the nominations not relevant because it's just a number and their is no info on what they were nominated for etc.

  • Ceremonies in a separate column would be odd, as they should be matched with the respective category, which means I would have to put the relevant award in parenthesis or similar. I can collapse the table if you want. As for the nominations, I thought that in a sortable list, they would be a nice inclusion, and the general reference backs them up. sephiroth bcr (converse) 20:01, 21 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
You're right it would be add, but maybe putting them in a bulleted format would keep it from stretching the column very wide. I also agree the nominations should stay per the general ref.--SRX 15:32, 22 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I cut out the extra spacing for the ceremonies. Is the format better? sephiroth bcr (converse) 01:04, 23 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Using ceremony numbering instead of years is thoroughly counter intuitive. Using both (as in the director list) is just weird given the format. Circeus (talk) 15:11, 23 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    • Because it's obvious that the article is about "Academy Awards" and that they take place at the "Academy Awards ceremony" I think just putting in the article "45th and 67th" should cover it.--SRX 00:56, 24 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
      • Absolutely not. The average person couln't care less which xth ceremony, world championship, festival edition it is, they only care which year's you're referring to. Circeus (talk) 17:31, 24 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose; Absolutely requires the names of the films they were nominated for. --Golbez (talk) 20:56, 23 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    • And while we're at it, at least one of the links is wrong - Jack Nicholson links to the 55th awards for his best supporting actor win, but he wasn't nominated that year (I couldn't tell you which awards you're aiming for). All of the links need to be checked for accuracy. --Golbez (talk) 20:56, 23 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comments - sources look okay. Links checked out with the link checker tool. Ealdgyth - Talk 14:58, 25 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comments—prose needs scrutiny.

  • no years in the table?
  • "since it was established in 19??".
  • Second occurrence, just "Awards".
  • "there have been actors and actresses that have received multiple"—eeeuuw; "who" for people. "actors and actresses have received".

And more; please get someone else to look throught the prose. Tony (talk) 08:55, 27 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
