FAR[edit]

One of the featured article criteria is "a substantial but not overwhelming system of hierarchical section headings". This article does not meet that criterion. There are too many short sections, which should be merged. DrKay (talk) 17:42, 6 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I've done a bit of cleanup now. The previous structure was unsuitable/unmanageable for a BLP. L150 22:07, 25 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you! DrKay (talk) 06:49, 26 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Sorkin has discussed how he got involved with the movie[edit]

This is a very interesting story with some of Sorkin's own words being quoted.[1]. Relevant facts backed by reliable sources should be in an encyclopedia.2601:447:4080:10:F9B1:5BA1:2B3C:364F (talk) 15:40, 8 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Separate awards article[edit]

Can we please create a separate awards article for Sorkin? He has so many nominations I feel like it needs room to breath in another article.The One I Left (talk) 01:11, 16 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

A separate awards page would be nice to have, but not a must. I don't think it would hurt this article to do so. LM150 20:10, 2 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
