I've listed this article for peer review because
Gene Kelly is an important figure in film history and warrants a good filmography page. The layout for this article is simular to that of the
Woody Allen filmography and the
Spike Lee filmography. Any advise on how to improve this article would be greatly appreciated.

Ruhrfisch comments: Seems nicely done overall, although I am concerned about the reliability and use of references. Here are some suggestions for improvement. SInce I just reviewed the Gary Cooper filmography, some of the same comments apply here too.
Hope this helps. If my comments are useful, please consider peer reviewing an article, especially one at Wikipedia:Peer review/backlog (which is how I found this article). Yours, Ruhrfisch ><>°° 19:31, 8 March 2009 (UTC)

I only have a couple of comments to make and I apologize beforehand if they seem rushed or abrupt (that's the way I think). It is entirely fine to link to the Academy Award Database for referencing for film awards, or any other official individual award webpages that might be pertinent. From my experience with featured article reviewers, they will object to the text sizing in the tables and I do agree with Ruhrfisch regarding the column sizing. There are just some issues they will always take exception with, and I think those are ones they will. I'm not as sure about the columns with the "Yes" templates, although I will note that quite a while ago, editors at WP:FILM who were discussing tables were quite opposed to the use of {{yes}} templates. That was partially based on the appearance of them, and also on questions regarding the appearance based on color-blindness of the reader. WP:ACTOR would endorse that view (speaking for WP:ACTOR). The awards from the Directors Guild are noted with acronyms, the FAR reviewers will want the name of the award spelled out and the link to individual awards (such as the Screen Actors awards, Golden Bear, ) should link to the appropriate individual award page on Wikipedia. Also, I'm not certain how FAR reviewers will view the source to IMDb or Turner Classic Movie Database. I'm thinking they will challenge them. That is also an observation based on experience. Hope this helps. Wildhartlivie ( talk) 04:23, 15 March 2009 (UTC)
