In the chart, the names of the directors do not sort correctly, when sorted alphabetically. If one attempts to sort that column, the names of the directors get sorted by their first name (which is obviously incorrect). Their names should be sorted alphabetically, by last name. The problem is that each entry (name) is simply entered into the chart as its Wikipedia link. For example, [[Pablo Trapero]]. However, if we want this to sort correctly, we need to use a special sorting template. Namely, in the previous example for Pablo Trapero, we'd use {{sortname|Pablo|Trapero}} instead of simply [[Pablo Trapero]]. In other words, we need to use the "sortname template" (located here: Template:Sortname). Making use of this template will let the column of directors' names sort correctly, alphabetically by last name (instead of by first name). It should be changed in this article. I assume it's a bit of work, if someone is up to it. However, at the very least, this new method should be incorporated when next year's new article is created (for the 89th Academy Awards). Thanks.

The Oscars are clearly an American institution. Why are we using British dating format? I changed it to American format, and someone changed it back with the notation "MOS:RETAIN". I don't think MOS:RETAIN applies. It is not in dispute that the Oscars are an American institution. Strong national ties, etc. Thoughts? Thanks. Joseph A. Spadaro ( talk) 01:59, 27 February 2016 (UTC)
Following the above discussion, I would like some input about what date formats we should be using in this article and all of the other similar articles. Apparently, this article (in its individual forms) extends back to the 29th Academy Awards. See here: List of submissions to the 29th Academy Awards for Best Foreign Language Film. So, I would like to develop a consistent format not only for this 88th article, but also for all the others extending back to the 29th. And, of course, extending forward from the 89th on. Any thoughts? My opinion, as stated above, is to use American dates, for reasons stated above. Thanks. Joseph A. Spadaro ( talk) 20:41, 28 February 2016 (UTC)
I have waited a while. Seems like this discussion is not gaining any new input. As a result of the above discussion, I am going with the consensus. I am changing the dates to American format. This should be done for all other similar articles, as well (i.e., the 87th Annual List, the 86th Annual list, etc.). Thanks. Joseph A. Spadaro ( talk) 18:23, 5 March 2016 (UTC)

The name "Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia" is used here. Should it be left that way, or updated to " North Macedonia"? I don't think that North Macedonia ever actually used the FYROM name for itself. Now, I know that North Macedonia was not called that back when the film was released, but does that matter? It's not a different country now just because its official name is different. Kelisi ( talk) 20:33, 4 June 2021 (UTC)
