List of awards and nominations received by Bryan Adams

[edit]

Comments

  • Please address the concerns of the previous FLC before renominating in the future, e.g. the inclusion of the MMVAs and fixing the Infobox where the numbers don't add up.
  • " Canada's Juno Award, " awards?
  • "on Bobby" need to explain what "Bobby" is. Done
  • Put AMA in parentheses after "American Music Awards" Done
  • References should be in numerical order unless you have a good reason for them not to be... ".[7][8][6]" should be "[6][7][8]" Done
  • You've got the nominated and won the wrong way round in my opinion. You say "won one and nominated for three" - this reads as if he had four overall... I'd consider "From three nominations, Adams has won one award." or similar. Done
  • "eighteen awards out of fifty-five nominations" 18 awards from 55 nominations. Done
  • Ref 5 is not specific and does therefore not cite those 55 nominations. Done
  • Do you honestly think you need to wikilink music and art? Done
  • Ref 6 title is just Bryan Adams - the work is Rock on the Net. Done
  • Ref 4 - the language shouldn't be part of the link. Done
  • Refs 4 and 5 need their dates sorting out so they're in English.
  • Why is Oscars in bold? Done
  • " is among the oldest, most prominent, most prestigious, and most watched film award ceremonies in the world" interesting but not really relevant here. Done

Comments

  • Could you replace reference [4] with an english one. e.g. This from the golden globe website, with the same information and probably more reliable. Done
  • In the Honours section the "Order of Canada" is not something your really win. It is more of a recognition. I don't think the "Result" and "Won" can really apply to this section. Maybe just list them as "Other recognitions" or something. Done
  • Also nominated for a Satellite Award for "Original Song" in 2006.
  • Nominated for two World Soundtrack Awards in 2002.
  • The numbers don't add up in the infobox. Done

Also regarding your "What the hell" comment. It failed because it wasn't of a featured standard. You really should have addressed these things before immediately renominating it again.

Comments Could you source the honours section so that you can remove the sources from the lead please. — Realist2 17:39, 21 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

More comments

  • You have noted the following things as done but they are not
    • The numbers still don't add up in the infobox
    • Also in replacing the reference I mentioned you simply copied into the current citeweb, template. You did not change the accessdate= or the date= (which in an incorrect format anyway).
  • For the Golden Globes, ref 4 - the title should be 2007 not 2006.
  • Ref 5 adds nothing to the section on Golden Globes all it says is "[Adams] has an impressive array of Oscar and Golden Globe nominations." It doesn't cite any of that sentence.
  • The 1992, 1996 & 1997 Golden Globe nominations are unreferenced.

As it stands I oppose, for failing criteria 3, this list is not comprehensive (see previous comments).

Oppose

  • Lead is far from engaging - basically just proseline.
  • "also" x 3 in the lead is repetitive and makes for boring reading.
  • "Overall, Adams has received four awards from 4 nominations." - don't think so.
  • I'd state nominations before awards since you have to be nominated before you can win them so, for instance, "Adams has won one AMA, and been nominated for three" becomes "Adams has been nominated for three AMAs, winning three."
  • Infobox has 31 nominations, total is 34?
  • "for five Golden Globe." Globe awards?
  • "to recognize excellence of professionals" is this a quotation? If so, cite it.
  • " The formal ceremony at which the awards are presented is among the oldest, prestigious, and most watched film award ceremony in the world." as I said before, interesting but irrelevant.
  • Fix dates of refs 4 and 5.
