:Nominator(s): ~ HAL333 15:46, 3 August 2021 (UTC)

I'm back at it with another filmography. This time it's Samuel L. Jackson, one of my favorite actors and the highest grossing live-action actor of all time. ~ HAL333 15:46, 3 August 2021 (UTC)

;Comments

• "Ignored" spelt incorrectly in note 1
• "Tarantino-directed Pulp Fiction.[4] For Pulp Fiction" => "Tarantino-directed Pulp Fiction.[4] For the latter film" (to avoid repetition of the title)
• "collaborated with Tarantino again in Django Unchained" =>"collaborated with Tarantino again on Django Unchained"
• "He is scheduled to receive a Academy Honorary Award" => "He is scheduled to receive an Academy Honorary Award"
• There are two credits for him playing Agent Augustus Gibbons but one just for Augustus Gibbons - this might be correct (the character might not be an agent in one film) but I jus thought I'd check.....

:*Good catch. ~ HAL333 22:22, 4 August 2021 (UTC)

• Any reason why only the TV table is not sortable?
• A Soldier's Play sorts incorrectly
• Think that's all I've got. Great work :-) -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 18:12, 4 August 2021 (UTC)

:*All done. Appreciate the comments. ~ HAL333 22:22, 4 August 2021 (UTC)

Comments from Dank

• Standard disclaimer: I don't know what I'm doing, and I mostly AGF on sourcing.
• Forbes.com/sites is being flagged by the UPSD tool as iffy (it depends on the particular page), and Express is flagged as "generally unreliable".
• "and he has reprised the role in later entries": "reprise" shows up a lot in this paragraph; I think this is probably the bit that I'd cut back on to avoid repetition. Maybe you can delete it, or replace it with "and other films" or something. Otherwise:
• FLC criteria:
• 1. The prose is fine. I've done a little copyediting; feel free to revert or discuss. I see Chris has checked the sorting. I've sampled the links in the tables.
• 2. The lead meets WP:LEAD and defines the inclusion criteria.
• 3a. The list has comprehensive items and annotations.
• 3b. Except as above, the article is well-sourced to reliable sources, and the UPSD tool isn't indicating any other problems (but this isn't a source review). All relevant retrieval dates are present.
• 3c. The list meets requirements as a stand-alone list, it isn't a content fork, it doesn't largely duplicate another article (that I can find), and it wouldn't fit easily inside another article.
• 4. It is navigable. I'm a little surprised that there's no navbox (but I see that's standard in filmography lists) and so few categories at the end, but you'd know better than I do what's expected.
• 5. It meets style requirements. At a glance, the images seem fine.
• 6. It is stable.
• Close enough for a support. Well done. - Dank (push to talk) 14:01, 6 August 2021 (UTC)

:*All addressed. ~ HAL333 14:27, 6 August 2021 (UTC)

;Comments by Kavyansh.Singh

: Hi @{{u|HAL333}} {{endash}} This is not a source review, but just few comments

• Add "RogerEbert.com" as work in Ref#59.
• I would suggest adding WP links to all the websites/media sites, etc in the citations. Currently, some are linked (like The New York Times in Ref#99), while others are not.
• I ended up unlinking everything. ~ HAL333 16:35, 12 August 2021 (UTC)
• That works. {{endash}} Kavyansh.Singh (talk) 16:54, 12 August 2021 (UTC)
• Capitalize l in "The los Angeles Times" (Ref#154)
• Replace "New York Times" with "The New York Times" in Ref#169
• Capitalize W and P in "The washington post" (Ref#183)
• There is a Reference named "Archived Copy". (Ref#188) Reformat it.

: Comment on images {{endash}} Three of the four images were originally posted in Flickr, and are licenced properly. The remaining image was original work of a user, which was confirmed by an OTRS ticket. I see no issues. {{endash}} Kavyansh.Singh (talk) 08:52, 9 August 2021 (UTC)

::{{u|Kavyansh.Singh}} All addressed. ~ HAL333 16:35, 12 August 2021 (UTC)

::: {{u|HAL333}} {{endash}} Thanks for addressing everything. I see no other major issue with the table, and I feel I can support this list for promotion as a Featured list. It would be a great help if you could review any of my current 2 FLC's. Thanks! {{endash}} Kavyansh.Singh (talk) 16:54, 12 August 2021 (UTC)

;Comments for Birdienest81

• Nothing really much. However, I would move non-periodical sources such as Rotten Tomatoes, Turner Classic Movies, MeTV, PBS, and NPR to the publisher or agency field in the citation template so that it is not italicized. Otherwise, I support this list for featured list promotion.

::Done. ~ HAL333 21:31, 10 September 2021 (UTC)

• "A prolific actor, Jackson's films have collectively grossed" this is a little repetitive and confusing: (a) you don't need to repeat his name (b) we already know he's an actor (c) you said previously he was also a producer but this "Jackson's films" is that just as an actor (per the sentence) or including his work as a producer?
• "with a small part" minor role?
• To avoid repetition, I prefer "small part". ~ HAL333 21:20, 10 September 2021 (UTC)
• "His other early film appearances were minor roles in films such as " -> "He also made brief appearances in films such as...
• "and, in 1994, he starred" the following year (to mix up the in XXXX repeat)
• "received a Golden Globe nomination" another
• "Two years later, he starred in the science fiction horror film Deep Blue Sea.[11]" is this noted for any particular reason?
• It supports that the genre is "science fiction horror". ~ HAL333 21:18, 10 September 2021 (UTC)
• "Also in 2000, he " -> The same year
• Television roles don't appear to be covered at all in the lead?
• Although I cover The Sunset Limited, Jackson's television performanes are all very bried and not much of note. Secret Invasion may change that as he may be the main character. ~ HAL333 21:23, 10 September 2021 (UTC)
• "One episode" v "1 episode" be consistent.
• "Denotes television series that have not yet been released" there are none.
• Corrected. ~ HAL333 21:17, 10 September 2021 (UTC)
• "The Public Theatre" Theater apparently.
• "The Mountaintop" doesn't need piping.
• Year -> Year(s).
• Year range MOS now says we should include full years on either side of the en-dash.

:*Although that's what Mr. Jackson would call a "[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QxQEf1JXq-Y stupid-ass decision]", I guess I'll roll with it. Done. ~ HAL333 22:23, 3 September 2021 (UTC)

• What does "Also likeness" mean?
• Removed. ~ HAL333 21:14, 10 September 2021 (UTC)
• "Samuel Jackson Announcer" he just announces himself? What does that mean?
• Clarified (hopefully) in note column. ~ HAL333 21:13, 10 September 2021 (UTC)
• NYT sources require a subscription.
• Ref 5, isn't Variety a work?
• Refs 179, 182, etc date format inconsistent. Check all.
• Ref 157 SHOUTING.
• Ref 205, Evening Standard is linked (no others appear to be linked) and not in italics.

That'll do for a first pass. The Rambling Man (Keep wearing the mask...) 19:41, 25 August 2021 (UTC)

::{{U|HAL333}} are you going to address the remaining issues? The Rambling Man (Keep wearing the mask...) 09:25, 6 September 2021 (UTC)

:::Yes - I apologize. Been extremely busy lately. Will try to knock these out tonight! ~ HAL333 20:54, 8 September 2021 (UTC)

::::All done now - sorry for the tardiness. ~ HAL333 21:26, 10 September 2021 (UTC)

• Version reviewed {{endash}} [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=List_of_Samuel_L._Jackson_performances&oldid=1046069274 1]

;Formatting

• Ref#22 {{endash}} "1 November 1999" - inconsistent with the date style.
• Ref#198 {{endash}} "1 November 1999" - inconsistent with the date style.
• Various references have "The Los Angeles Times", but the [https://www.latimes.com/ newspaper] and the Wikipedia article calls it just "Los Angeles Times", without 'The' ... Better to follow that way.
• Ref#152 {{endash}} "Hollywood Reporter" should be written as "The Hollywood Reporter" to be consistent with rest of the article.
• Rest fine. I had included some formatting issued in my previous comments here, which were addressed.

;Reliability

• No issues

;Verifiability

• Did a few spot-checks, everything looks good.
