Please review this article; is it ready for FL? I'm not sure about the lead. thank you.-- ♫Greatorangepumpkin♫ T 10:47, 3 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Brianboulton comments: Good research, but I don't think this is ready for FL yet. Work needs to be done in each of the following areas:-

  • (General note) The list seems to have been prepared on the same template as other lists of artists' awards. As this format has been accepted for all the featured lists in this category it is I suppose OK, though it does not work well in this case. Of the 17 sublists, 12 have only one item; this makes for an unfortunately fractured presentation.
  • You need, in each case, to explain who makes the award and what it is for. In most cases, no information at all is given (Amigo Awards, Billboard Music Video Awards, Blockbuster Entertainment Awards etc)
    •  Done
  • Where you do give information, it should not state what is immediately evident from the table, e.g. "Santana has won two AMA" and "Just Feel Better" was awarded in 2007".
    •  reworded
  • Lead: this seems rather short. It also has various prose issues:
    • Pronoun conflict: "It first came to public attention after their..."
      •  Done
    • Awkward repetition: "...followed in the next two years by successful follow-ups..."
      •  Done
    • More repetition: "The band has received numerous awards, including ten awards[1] and two nominations[2][3] for the Grammy Awards, three Latin Grammy Awards".
      •  Done
  • References:
    • Some of these are lacking publisher information: 10, 13, 20, 21, 22, 23
      •  edited
    • Give the names of the website publishers, not the website name. For example, the publisher for ref 1 is The Recording Academy, for 2 and 3 it is Rock On The Net (is this a reliable encyclopedic source, by the way?), etc.
      •  reworded
    • Ref 5 does not have a title.
      •  Done

I hope these points are helpful. Brianboulton (talk) 00:10, 13 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
