Nominator(s): Candyo32 16:17, 30 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]


I am nominating this for featured list because, in being based from the numerous Grammy Award lists done by AnotherBeliever, I believe this article meets featured list standards. Candyo32 - Happy New Year :) 05:09, 7 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comments Great list, but I think "for her self-titled, debut album" "debut album" should be italicized. Also

    • Ref. 2: |accessdate=April 24, 2010 should be |accessdate=2010-04-24, like all the other refs.
Done
    • Ref. 4, 6, 7, 9, 10, 11, 12: <ref>{{cite web| should be the cite news template, newspaper -> publisher
Although published by newspaper companies, these stories were not printed in these newspapers, only via online, which is why it is cite web not cite news.
    • Ref. 5, 8, about com refs: |work=''[[Grammy Awards|Grammy.com]]'' delink this please and about com refs too (the publisher and the work), except ref 9
Done
    • How reliable is about.com?
Not sure, but I know it comes up alot in discussions, but About.com is published by The New York Times Company. Its usage was green-lit in the FLC of Fantasia Barrino discography also Candyo32 - Happy New Year :) 19:32, 11 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • Also delink "The New York Times Company" in the refs 10, 11, 12. No need to link so much.-- ♫Greatorangepumpkin♫ T 18:24, 12 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Done. Candyo32 - Happy New Year :) 19:17, 12 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Support Well, I see no issues.-- ♫Greatorangepumpkin♫ T 21:12, 12 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Resolved comments from Another Believer (Talk) 19:16, 12 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Comments: I am glad to see others contributors working on Grammy Awards lists. I hope you don't mind me making several edits to the list, mostly to increase consistency with other Grammy-related lists with FL status. Suggestions:
  • I would definitely replace the About.com sources with more reliable news sources.
  • The Fox News source proves that Ashanti won the award, but you need to find a source that mentions other nominees, otherwise there is no way to verify the information presented in the Nominees column.
  • Ditto for the 2005 nominees. <--------------------------- this still needs to be addressed (source does not verify nominees)
Addressed own concern... --Another Believer (Talk) 19:16, 12 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Alt text is needed for the images (see other FL Grammy lists for examples)

--Another Believer (Talk) 19:26, 16 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I support the promotion of this list regardless of whether or not a sentence about the compilation album (see below) is included. --Another Believer (Talk) 20:00, 12 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Resolved comments from Adabow (talk · contribs) 04:25, 8 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Comments I haven't reviewed a Grammy list before, so please forgive me if I misinterpret something...
  • "Award recipients included the producers, engineers, and/or mixers associated with the nominated work in addition to the recording artists." - source?
This statement is used in the several Grammy lists done by AnotherBeliever.
The general source covers this. --Another Believer (Talk) 23:01, 7 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • In some years either the winner or other nominees do not appear in the refs
Working on that.

Note to reviewers – I am working on it, just letting you know I haven't abandoned the FLC. Candyo32 - Happy New Year :) 17:07, 24 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • Okay, that was a week ago, how's it going? The Rambling Man (talk) 21:17, 31 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    • Candy, please let me know if you require assistance. Although this is your expansion and nomination, I am happy to help if need be. --Another Believer (Talk) 21:32, 31 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    • On that note, please notify me when all current outstanding issues are resolved (if possible) and I'll give the list a look too. The Rambling Man (talk) 21:33, 31 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Ok, everything has been addressed except for the Alt text, because I'm not sure how true it is, but in a past GA or FA review I was told that alt text was no longer a requirement. Candyo32 - Happy New Year :) 22:16, 7 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Not a requirement but a really good thing to have. Do the alt (or get someone to help) and then I'll review the list myself. Thanks for getting back to us. All the best. The Rambling Man (talk) 22:21, 7 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I added alt text per request on my talk page. --Another Believer (Talk) 23:01, 7 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support - Everything looks good and in order. Nice one Candy :)--CallMeNathan • Talk2Me 01:25, 8 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment - You shouldn't be using the small html tags to minimize text these should be done through automated facilities in the table. Afro (Talk) 18:35, 8 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support - Don't see any problems =D, great job!--Blackjacks101 (talk) 12:41, 11 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Question: Do any reviewers think it might be worth noting that several of the nominated and award-winning artists appear on Ultimate Grammy Collection: Contemporary R&B, a 2007 compilation album highlighting contemporary R&B music? I am on the fence, as the album is related to the award in that its the same affiliation (Grammy) and genre, but it is not specifically about the award itself. --Another Believer (Talk) 19:42, 12 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure about this. The single relevance of this list is the award of a Grammy, not inclusion of work in a subsequent album... (but that is just my opinion...) The Rambling Man (talk) 17:34, 14 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
No problem. I don't feel inclusion is necessary--just wanted to make sure it wasn't overlooked. --Another Believer (Talk) 18:56, 14 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
