Ok, basically the same as the recently nominated Aurealis Award for best fantasy novel (FLC) page with a few minor changes. There is an additionally sentence added to the lead commenting on the 'no award' situation otherwise thats about it. Salavat (talk) 14:22, 9 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Im a bit reluctant to change the page as i based it of two previous FL mentioned on my previous FLC for the fantasy novel and the issue didnt come up for the last FLC. Maybe wait a bit to see if anyone else has anything to add. Salavat (talk) 03:40, 10 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I agree with Reywas, not so much because of the bulkiness but because it makes readers think that there's an article about the award itself. Dabomb87 (talk) 15:51, 18 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Ok well im all up for changing it. Would it be more appropriate to move it now or after the after the FL nom is finished? Salavat (talk) 02:43, 19 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Feel free to move it now; I can take care of everything else (moving the FLC nomination, fixing links, etc.) Dabomb87 (talk) 02:49, 19 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
and moved. Salavat (talk) 02:53, 19 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Sp. "hounarable"
Took out the "u". Salavat (talk) 03:40, 10 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • "No award given" is not a complete sentence.
Removed the "stop". Salavat (talk) 03:40, 10 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • "Parenthesis" is singular
I believed i fixed this? Salavat (talk) 03:40, 10 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Great article overall. Reywas92Talk 21:34, 9 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Support, all issues resolved. Dabomb87 (talk) 03:00, 19 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Resolved issues, Dabomb87 (talk)
Comments from Dabomb87 (talk · contribs) Pretty good list, just a few comments:
  • "if there is complete agreement" By complete. do you mean unanimous? I think the latter would be a more accurate word.
Changed to unanimous. Salavat (talk) 02:43, 19 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • There really is no need for Australia to be linked in the infobox. Most English speakers know where it is, and nothing in that article aids understanding in this one.
Delinked. Salavat (talk) 02:43, 19 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • I have two comments about the notes about the parentheses in the tables.
    • Link imprint
    • The note is a bit vague. It's not the parentheses themselves that denote imprints, but the publisher names in them. Perhaps say "Publisher names in parentheses indicate the imprint under which the book was published."
Changed and linked. Salavat (talk) 02:43, 19 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • My only other opinion is that the article should be moved per Reywas' suggestion; see my comment above. Dabomb87 (talk) 16:06, 18 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Ok ill move it just a query posted above on when it should be moved. Salavat (talk) 02:43, 19 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment full review will be done, but please explain why there were no winners in 1996, 1998, and 2005. Mm40 (talk) 17:26, 6 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Its been explained, see second paragraph, 5th sentence. Salavat (talk) 02:39, 7 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • The infobox needs a reference for "Currently held by" Mm40 (talk) 16:24, 11 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Its referenced in the main body of the article, isnt the infobox like the lead, in that if you reference in the main you dont reference in the lead? Salavat (talk) 16:06, 11 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I don't see a mention on "Honey Brown" anywhere in the lead. Mm40 (talk) 16:24, 11 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Honey Brown been the current winner is referenced in the 2009 section of the article, i was only using the lead as an example, but seemed to confuse it. In short i dont think i need to reference the infobox if its referenced in the main body. Salavat (talk) 16:35, 11 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Wow, that was dumb of me. I thought "currently held by" meant the venue that hosts the award ceremony. Apologies. Mm40 (talk) 21:57, 11 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • You don't need to link "novel" in the second paragraph
Fixed. Salavat (talk) 16:06, 11 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • "from the list of submitted" can you change "the" to "a"? "the" makes it sound like the long list was already discussed.
Fixed. Salavat (talk) 16:06, 11 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • The sentence beginning "Tie situations can occur" could use some commas. Also, why not just "Ties" instead on "Tie situations"?
Fixed. Salavat (talk) 16:06, 11 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • "of the nominees is worthy" -> "of the nominees are worthy"
Fixed. Salavat (talk) 16:06, 11 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Should "Awards" in "Awards management team" have an apostrophe?
Fixed. Salavat (talk) 16:06, 11 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Shouldn't "and high commendation" be "and high commendations" (plural)?
Fixed. Salavat (talk) 16:06, 11 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Use a normal apostrophe for "Annthony O’Neill" to make it link to the existing article (Anthony O'Neill)
Fixed. Salavat (talk) 16:06, 11 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Also use a normal apostrophe for "Tracey O’Hara"
Fixed. Salavat (talk) 16:06, 11 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Why is the Ditmar Award listed under See also if it's a sci-fi award?
Well its really a speculative fiction award because it also allows fantasy and horror, but they call it a science fiction award. Ill remove it if you think it still doesnt belong
  • Picky, I know, but again, change the apostrophe in ref 21.
Fixed. Salavat (talk) 16:06, 11 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Added. Salavat (talk) 16:06, 11 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Otherwise, this all looks good, and I'm happy to support. Cheers, Mm40 (talk) 14:19, 11 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
