CircafuciX (talk · contribs) fixed the grammar and much more. --Be Black Hole Sun (talk) 11:13, 16 August 2008 (UTC)

previous FLC (08:08, 15 August 2008)

• Weak Support - All the grammar issues I pointed out in the previous FLC have been fixed, but the list itself is relatively short with little sourcing IMO.--S_RX 12:48, 16 August 2008 (UTC)

What needs sources? i can fix it if you tell me. --Be Black Hole Sun (talk) 12:52, 16 August 2008 (UTC)

• Comments
  • "...singer-songwriter, and guitarist." why comma? Done
  • "debut album Bryan Adams, a rock album " - 2x album makes this read poorly. Done
  • "limited success" what does this mean? Done
  • "He has been" - Reaffirm Adams here, so "Adams has been..." Done
    •  Not done - suggest you get another native English speaker to copyedit this again for you. The Rambling Man (talk) 16:02, 16 August 2008 (UTC)
  • "Reckless and "It's Only Love" was nominated for two awards at the 28th Grammy Awards, however, Adams didn't win any of the awards. " Done
    • "Reckless and "It's Only Love" was nominated" - was? Do you mean were? Done
    • avoid contractions, "did not". Done
    • This looks like two sentences, not one. Done
  • "Adams would win two awards" why not just Adams won? Done
  • Was All For Love an album or single? Done
  • 4 awards ->four awards. Done
  • Where are the Academy award noms in the list?Don't need
  • And the Golden globe noms? Done
  • 2x recently. You need to be more specific. Done
  • "nominated for his fifth Golden Globe (2007) " - do you mean "in 2007"? Done
  • "for his songwriting in the film" - do you mean songwriting for the film? Or was he in the film? Done
  • Picture is poor quality, there are better at Commons. Done
  • "Overall, Adams has received 4 awards from 25 nominations." what does this relate to? The infobox says 71 noms and 22 wins (even though the number of noms adds up to 81). Done
    • Where did the Juno awards go? The Rambling Man (talk) 15:51, 16 August 2008 (UTC)
      • • • I'll add them back when i find a source which is not a database, but thats hard. --Be Black Hole Sun (talk) 15:55, 16 August 2008 (UTC)
            • Well I suggest you withdraw this nomination until then, and deal with the other issues here too. The list needs to be comprehensive and stable for FLC which this clearly isn't now. The Rambling Man (talk) 16:00, 16 August 2008 (UTC)
  • AMA's - "outstanding achievements in the record industry" if this is a quote from the awards people, make it in quotes and reference it, otherwise it's WP:PEACOCK terminology. Done
  • AMA's - "won one award out of two nominations" - there are clearly three noms here. Done
  • "to acknowledge their artistic and technical achievements in all aspects of music" - see comment re:AMAs. Quote? Done
  • "fifty-five" ->55. Done
  • Ref 6 doesn't reference all the Juno awards in any way, shape or form. Done
  • Ref 13 doesn't provide anything which Ref 9 is missing. Done
  • answers.com is not a WP:RS it's a mirror of Wikipedia. Done
  • Where are the accessdates on the references?
• Once again, this list is in very poor condition and should not be nominated at FLC. Facts haven't been checked, numbers haven't been added up, references haven't been verified. These lists need to go to peer review. This is the last time I will review a list in this condition, next time I will withdraw it. The Rambling Man (talk) 15:24, 16 August 2008 (UTC)
