[edit] Material added by Thefourdotelipsis

I've removed the content shown in the box below because it's not consistent with the title and current contents of the article. If the extra films are nominated films which did not win, then please provide that information somewhere. Furthermore, since more than one award is listed below, either a new article or new section should be created for it (ie, Best British Film). Please don't put this back in the article in its current form, since it is just creating a mess. Slowmover 18:47, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

I'm trying to get this film to conform with the style shown in the Academy Award for Best Picture page, which is far more comprehensive. The Bafta award for Best film has always been split in two: what I had was correct, we just need to do all of it. And we need to have a little explanation at the top. Because at the moment, this page is next to useless. ....(Complain)(Let us to it pell-mell) 06:59, 25 May 2006 (UTC)
Sounds like a good plan, but I suggest you work on the page elsewhere and make the changes when you have it completed. You can start a new subpage in your "user space" simply by creating a red link like this: User:Thefourdotelipsis/BAFTA, click on the link and start editing. When you're done, move the content to the BAFTA page. Happy editing! Slowmover 15:53, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Clarification

Could someone add some clarification about some issues: First, why in 1985 the producer only the got the prize while the lead says : and then in 1985 it was shared between the Director and Producer.. Second, why is there two winner in 1996. And third, could someone clarify the note written in the end, I didn't quite understand it. Thank you. CG 13:15, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

That's fixed, and there were two because it was a tie. ....(Complain)(Let us to it pell-mell) 07:17, 18 August 2006 (UTC)
Could you mention the tie in the lead? CG 10:12, 18 August 2006 (UTC)
Yep. ....(Complain)(Let us to it pell-mell) 23:28, 19 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Totally inaccurate liste!!!

After checking the list and checking the sources I found out that the list is totally inaccurate. First of all, the main source, the Bafta archive site is totally ignored, but it consists of the more realible source for this list. And second, you should have noticed that the two sources that you provided Epinions.com and IMDB conflict with each other: IMDB's dates are always one year ahead. For example the first award was given in 1947 (according to Bafta.org and Epinions.com) but IMDB states it's 1948. It seems the IMDB gives different dates than the Bafta.org site, and therefore I consider the source of this list totally inaccurate.

An other issue is that the list does not mention the "Best Foreign-language Film" which was split for the Best film award and the "Best British Film" known as "The Alexander Korda Award for the outstanding British Film of the year" which is equivalent to the old Best British film. The list should provide clarifications about the splitting of the award and why it isn't mentioned in the list.

Anyway, I'm proposing we temporarly defeature the list until these matters are settled. CG 15:25, 19 August 2006 (UTC)

Well, as for the date, that's because IMDb chooses to list the year the awards were held in, not the year the films were made. So it could be either way. But if you can get consensus, I'll be more that happy to change it. And as for the other Film awards... I had no idea. I was too busy getting all the nominees and tablizing the article MYSELF. I'll add them. ....(Complain)(Let us to it pell-mell) 23:32, 19 August 2006 (UTC)
I'll put a request in WP:RFC and I'll see what I can do. CG 11:16, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
