Golden Globe

Even though John Williams won the Golden globe for Best Original Score - Motion Picture, Santaolalla won his Golden Globe for Best Original Song - Motion Picture. Please, stop deleting that. official nominaitons - official results. Mariano(t/c) 06:50, 18 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Television usage

One of the main motifs in Babel is a song ("Iguazu") from an earlier album (Ronroco) used several times, most notably in the HBO show Deadwood (it is also used on the Deadwood DVDs as music that plays during the menus). I believe it is this album that directly led to his current film scoring career RoyBatty42 19:52, 1 February 2007 (UTC)x[reply]

Filmography

Into the Wild soundtrack is all by Eddie Vedder, according to the Eddie Vedder and Into the Wild wikipedia pages. Santaolalla is not listed as a contributing artist. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Itsdew (talk • contribs) 05:58, 28 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Controversy Section

This section is POV. I think it might need to be removed, unless it is referenced and rewritten. Nationalparks 20:04, 26 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yep, POV was still there, even if the section header wasn't. Removed again, and will continue to be. Give up the edit wars.

If there's a good source (a notable music critic etc) that wrote an article disagreeing with the Oscar results, that opinion can be mentioned and cited. Wikipedia is meant to represent both sides, with appropriate references. Groove1279 15:22, 18 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Is this correct?

From the first paragraph: "He has won two Academy Awards for Best Original Score in two consecutive years, for Brokeback Mountain in 2005, Babel in 2007, and most recently, video game The Last of Us."

Later it says under awards: 2006: "Best Original Score – Babel". Which is correct? 2006 or 2007? 2006 would make sense ("consecutive years").

Also, "two Academy Awards" - "Brokeback Mountain", "Babel" and "most recently, video game The Last of Us".... ?

Thanks, Bubbathemonkey (talk) 10:58, 9 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Fixed in this edit. This comment was originally removed with an acknowledgement of thanks, but I've put it back because that's not the way comments are dealt with on Wikipedia. Graham87 14:14, 12 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I'll review this nom shortly...

GA review (see here for what the criteria are, and here for what they are not)

It is reasonably well written.
a (prose, spelling, and grammar): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):
It is factually accurate and verifiable, as shown by a source spot-check.
a (reference section): b (inline citations to reliable sources): c (OR): d (copyvio and plagiarism):
It is broad in its coverage.
a (major aspects): b (focused):
It follows the neutral point of view policy.
Fair representation without bias:
It is stable.
No edit wars, etc.:
It is illustrated by images and other media, where possible and appropriate.
a (images are tagged and non-free content have non-free use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):
Overall:
Pass/Fail:

Earwig's Copyvio Detector reports likely copyvio, pointing to this site [1], but I suspect it is the other way around, i.e. that the external site lifted lede from the GAN article. I suspect it is so because the same appears to have happened to the lede of Lalo Schifrin, an article that appears unrelated to the nominator. I'll try to confirm this before proceeding with the rest of the review. --Tomobe03 (talk) 20:05, 7 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, this is an external site copying what I wrote. if you look into the very recent history, you can see me building the entire lede out bit by bit according to the content I added. Maybe as a test beyond taking me in good faith, you can rearrange a word or two here and see that the site is probaly transcluding the lede. Much the same like how musician bios on YouTube like to copy word for word the ledes of Wikipedia. Barnt Toust 20:25, 7 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

As I said above, I don't think Santaolalla article is copied from the external site, I'd just like to wait a short while to see if I get a response at Wikipedia talk:Mirrors and forks re further action first. Don't worry, I'll move on reasonably quickly even if there is no response. Tomobe03 (talk) 21:17, 7 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

very well! Barnt Toust 21:22, 7 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Martha Argerich's lede seems to have them same text as Pantheon.world's entry, Chris de Burgh does too, Lalo Schifrin, and looks like all the rest. It's a clear cut duplication case. The last editor to post to that M&F talk page has been waiting two months for no reply, so consider that page deader than disco. Case closed, methinks. I'm going to add one of those "This article is substantially duplicated by a piece in an external publication" tags here. Looking forward to getting this GA nom rolling!
