List of Judy Garland awards and honors edit

I believe this list now satisfies Featured List criteria. Otto4711 (talk) 16:13, 3 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Can you make the columns for each table the same widths please?
  • I don't know how to do that, but if you can point me toward some instructions I'll do it.
  • A good Samaritan has made the table sizes uniform. Otto4711 (talk) 22:53, 6 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Other honors is basically a bullet pointed (nearly) trivia section. Prose is the way forward.

  • Huh. I put it in that format because another editor said that the article wasn't listy enough. Otto4711 (talk) 17:45, 3 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • OK, I've prosed up the other honors section and pulled the bullet points. I acknowledge that some of these are a bit on the trivial side but since they are reliably sourced I saw no harm in including them. If there are any that would prevent the list from being promoted I can see my way clear to having them removed. Otto4711 (talk) 17:57, 3 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • "Album Cover - Non" requires an em dash per WP:DASH.
  • Remove the bold formatting from the "Other honors" section.

  • Please write a more engaging first sentence instead of "This is a list of awards and honors bestowed upon Judy Garland." Articles don't begin with "This is an article about <subject>", and neither should lists.
  • I modeled it on the Featured List of 50 Cent awards which starts "This is a comprehensive list of awards and nominations won by 50 Cent, an American rapper."
  • You have to remember that things move forward over time. The 50 Cent awards list was promoted some time ago. The criteria has since changed, and there has been some discussions at WT:FLC about introducing lists in this manner (though you might have to go into "Archive 3" to find it.

  • Opening sentence now reads Judy Garland received numerous awards and honors in the course of a career that spanned over 40 years. Otto4711 (talk) 12:31, 6 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • "Bestowed" sounds like they were forced upon her whether she wanted them or not!
  • "twice nominated" or "nominated twice"?
  • Means the same thing either way.
  • Instead of the "Award" column being "Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress", it should just be called "category", and then remove the "Academy Award for" part, because that's mentioned already in the section heading. Same for all other award-giving bodies
  • I made an edit regarding heading sizes as it was easier to do than explain!

  • Ideally, all columns should be the same width, so in each table, "Nominated work" would be the same width, "Award" should be the same width, etc
  • I don't know how to set column widths.

Comments

  • "Garland won or was nominated for awards for her work in motion pictures, television, recording and on stage." Isn't anything on TV or film recorded anyway? Why mention this?
  • "Recording" refers to music recording.
  • Added the word "music."
  • Added infobox. It's fugly but it's there. Otto4711 (talk) 18:02, 7 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Question

This is the first list I've tried to promote. Does the fixing of the various concerns that y'all have raised mean that you support promotion or is there something else I need to be doing? Otto4711 (talk) 00:56, 7 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Every WP:FLC will stand for at least ten-days. User:The Rambling Man is a director of FLC, and it is rare that he will add a "Support" or "oppose" !vote due to WP:COI reasons. Unless I think it is clear-cut, I usually wait until the end of the ten-day period before !voting. Even though my issues may have been resolved someone else may come along and post things that need to be resolved. I'd hate to see something promoted if I have already supported and the issues stand unresolved at closing. Matthewedwards (talk • contribs • email) 01:56, 7 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hmm. Seems very nice. I'll Support. --Meldshal42 (talk to me) 13:21, 11 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
