List of The Killers awards[edit]

After having significantly expanded this, I believe it is a worthy featured list candidate. WilliamH (talk) 14:44, 4 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment

  • "This is a comprehensive list of awards and nominations won by The Killers," Don't say "comprehensive". This is implied by FL status. Please also come up with something that engages the reader. Articles don't begin with "This is an article about <subject>" and neither should lists.

  • Sections with 1-2 awards/nom should probably be merged (both in structure and summary table). As is, it gives the same "weight" to a TEC nomination as to a dozen NME noms and awards. Circeus (talk) 04:20, 6 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I understand your sentiment, but I'm not sure. "Weight" strikes me as a little subjectively tacit. All awards are just dispassionately listed in alphabetical order - I can't think of anything less impartial. WilliamH (talk) 10:40, 7 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comments The widths of corresponding columns different sections should be set to the same (for aesthetic reasons). For example, the widths of "Nominated work" columns in all the tables should be set to the same width. Same goes for the other columns (except the Year column which is always the same since the width of the different years are also the same).

Per our accessibility guidelines, colour should not be used unless absolutely unnecessary as it proves disadvantageous to colour-blind users. So I think the reds and greens are unnecessary here. indopug (talk) 08:42, 8 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    • Do you "win" nominations per the opening sentence of the lead? Not really, I think you earn them... -  Done WilliamH (talk) 21:49, 10 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    • "They were signed, and the band..." - "The band were signed and went to...?" perhaps not. it just reads odd at the moment for me. -  Done. I saw what you mean - made it more fluid. WilliamH (talk) 16:46, 12 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    • "...was released in 2006 to mixed reviews" - needs reference.  Done WilliamH (talk) 16:46, 12 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    • Since all tables contain the same columns, I'd prefer to see them all forced to the same widths.
