Hey, short nomination for a short list. This is basically identical to 13 other Featured Lists (i.e. Hugo Award for Best Novel) but is too short for FLC. I'd just like a quick glance-over from someone in place of that, for when I eventually take the series to FTC. Thanks! --PresN 20:38, 29 March 2011 (UTC)
Ruhrfisch comments: Not much here to check, but here are some suggestions for improvement. I think most of the points I raise are from a copy and paste of one of the other Hugo Award articles.
- Would it make sense to wikilink Worldcon? I was going to suggest linking the WSFS, but see it is a redirect to Worldcon.
- Since this is about the "Hugo Award for Best Graphic Story", was it really "once officially known as the Science Fiction Achievement Award.[1]"? Since I think this refers to the Hugo Award in general, would it make more sense to say something like The Hugo Award is named after Hugo Gernsback, the founder of the pioneering science fiction magazine Amazing Stories, and was originally officially known as the Science Fiction Achievement Award.[1]
- In the same vein, how applicable to this specific award are these direct quotations? The award has been described as "a fine showcase for speculative fiction" and "the best known literary award for science fiction writing".[2][3]
- Two problem sentences: These five novels on the ballot are the five most-nominated by members that year, with no limit on the number of stories that can be nominated. Would it make more sense as "These five graphic stories..."? The next sentence has no bearing on this award that I can see and should be cut: The 1953 through 1958 awards did not include any recognition of runner-up novels, but since 1959 all five candidates have been recorded.[5]
- I was surprised that there was no explanation as to why there six nominees one year and five the other - assume it was a tie?
- There is a free image of the Foglios at File:Phil and Kaja Foglio Gen Con 2007.jpg - since they have won the award both times it has been given, would it make sense to include the picture in this article somehow?
- Please make sure that the existing text includes no copyright violations, plagiarism, or close paraphrasing. For more information on this please see Wikipedia:Wikipedia_Signpost/2009-04-13/Dispatches. (This is a general warning given in all peer reviews, in view of previous problems that have risen over copyvios.)
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). I do not watch peer reviews, so if you have questions or comments, please contact me on my talk page. Yours, Ruhrfisch ><>°° 00:32, 5 April 2011 (UTC)
