First awards and nominations list I have nominated for FLC. Hope it goes well. --K. Annoyomous (talk) 22:21, 22 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Note Removed from WP:FLC, please wait until your older nomination receives a couple supports before re-transcluding. Dabomb87 (talk) 22:36, 22 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I thought the very existence of these lists was frowned upon? f o x 08:50, 28 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Pardon? --K. Annoyomous (talk) 09:04, 28 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment—I think lists like these are now normally titled "List of accolades received by ...". Also, this list has no dab links, but dead external links to http://ca.eonline.com/uberblog/b189868_rob_pattinson_kristen_stewart_taylor.html and http://www.mtv.com/ontv/vma/2009/best-new-artist/ (the content of the page it leads to doesn't contain the title given).

Don't get how the first one is dead, but I fixed the latter. --K. Annoyomous (talk) 00:24, 3 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

There is now a dead external link to http://www.weareyoungmoney.com/artistPg.jsp?id=3, and dab links to Forever and Over. Ucucha 00:39, 19 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Replaced link with another, and removed the dabs. --K.Annoyomous (talk) 05:33, 21 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comments

Not sure I can easily see where his acting career is referenced, nor his legal name etc.

Fixed. --K. Annoyomous (talk) 00:24, 3 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

"Drake released his " would prefer just "He released..."

Done. --K. Annoyomous (talk) 00:24, 3 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

You abbreviate CRIA but it's never used again.

Fixed. --K. Annoyomous (talk) 00:24, 3 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

"Overall, Drake has won eight awards from thirty-eight nominations." infobox - 9 awards, 43 noms.

Fixed. --K. Annoyomous (talk) 00:24, 3 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

"Drake has won two awards from five nominations." (BET awards) looks like 2 from 6 to me?

Fixed. --K. Annoyomous (talk) 00:24, 3 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Is MTV a work or a publisher (compare refs 21 and 22).

Fixed. --K. Annoyomous (talk) 00:24, 3 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

- Much as I disagree, I believe IMDb is not considered a reliable source
  - Found another source to replace the IMDB source. --K.Annoyomous (talk) 04:55, 6 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Please un-abbreviate publishers for refs—I don't, so I'm guessing many readers wouldn't know what BET is and RIAA, while less so, is also ambiguous. Please write the name out in full and link it.
  - Done. --K.Annoyomous (talk) 04:55, 6 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Publication dates would be nice if they're avialable
  - Done for all the ones that were available. --K.Annoyomous (talk) 04:55, 6 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Should Billboard be in italics?
  - Yes, it should. Fixed. --K.Annoyomous (talk) 04:55, 6 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Might be worth a sentence or two about why he chose to record as "Drake" if the material is available.
  - Mentioned that Drake is his middle name. --K.Annoyomous (talk) 04:55, 6 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- If the cited facts are in the body, I would prefer to see the inline citation removed from the lead.
  - Sorry, but I need more clarification. I don't really know how to fix this... --K.Annoyomous (talk) 04:55, 6 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Album titles should be in italics not "quotes".
  - Done. --K.Annoyomous (talk) 04:55, 6 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- his first and only album, "Thank Me Later", on June 15, 2010.[4] Both albums ?
  - So Far Gone is an extended play, not an official album. --K.Annoyomous (talk) 04:55, 6 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Song titles belong in "quotes", not italics
  - Done. --K.Annoyomous (talk) 04:55, 6 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- I would suggest moving the link to Music recording sales certification from platinum to certified.
  - Done. --K.Annoyomous (talk) 04:55, 6 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Be consistent in your use of the serial comma.
  - Fixed. --K.Annoyomous (talk) 04:55, 6 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- received eleven nominations and won two—does that mean he was nominated for 11, of which he won 2 or that he was nominated for 13 in total?
  - Clarified. --K.Annoyomous (talk) 04:55, 6 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- The prose gets a bit choppy in the third paragraph. It lets it down a bit since the prose is pretty good in the first two.
  - Don't really know how to let it down... Just being consistent with most featured awards lists. :D --K.Annoyomous (talk) 04:55, 6 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- If you can avoid starting a sentence with "In [year]" or "On [date]", you should and certainly don't start two consecutive sentences with it.
  - Only using one sentence that starts with "In year..." Hope it's okay. --K.Annoyomous (talk) 04:55, 6 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I'm very busy, so it wouldn't hurt to drop a note on my talk page to get my attention when you need em to revisit. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 03:32, 6 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Will do. --K.Annoyomous (talk) 04:55, 6 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Support. I'm satisfied that my concerns have been addressed and can;t see any other issues. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 16:31, 6 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
