List of a-ha awards

Good enough. --Alive Would? Sun (talk) 14:10, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

Comments from The Rambling Man (talk · contribs)

Not quite, in my opinion. Some specifics...

• The lead is far too short. (DONE)
• Is an award from the Guinnes Book World of Records really considered a "major music award"? (I'll check that out)
• " for 1 Grammy Award, " 1 -> one. (DONE)
• Image could use a caption. (What's caption)
  • Words describing the image. The Rambling Man (talk) 15:25, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
• "Take On Me" appears as a subheading. This needs to be explained to non-experts and, at the very least, linked.(Like you get that Take On Me won the MTV Video Music Awards)
• Why is ref [4] (for example) on a new line? (Didn't get that?)
  • The reference is under the word Award rather than immediately following it. The Rambling Man (talk) 15:25, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
• Where possible, make column widths the same for same style tables.
• "MTV Video Music Award for Best EditingDavid Yardley" space required? (DONE)
• "Favorite Pop/Rock Video" in 1986 for what? (DONE)
• "Hunting High and Low" both album and (presumably) single are mentioned here? Link them at least please.
• I don't think the years should link to the awards, very confusing indeed. (What should link to the award then)
  • Up to you but not the year as it's a confusing link. The Rambling Man (talk) 15:25, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
• What makes http://www.rockonthenet.com a reliable source? (I've checked and all the awards are right.)
  • I'm afraid that you need more than that to convince me it's an WP:RS - check the policy out and see if it meets the policy. The Rambling Man (talk) 15:25, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
• Ref's 1 and 2 are identical - use ref name.

Note: The nominator has another nomination listed which has very significant objections (a-ha discography). indopug (talk) 15:18, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

Comments

• Bold is by no means mandatory, but with the way the lead is set up, "major music awards received by a-ha" could be bolded to give the reader a quick glimpse of what the article is about.
• Put the references for the "Award" column headings on the same line; there's absolutely no reason to put it on the next line. As much space should be removed between references and any preceding text, per WP:FOOTNOTE.
• Unlink years like "1987" that really just link to a year; the years that link to non-year articles can be kept.
