List of Sendai International Music Competition winners

previous FLC (04:46, 12 June 2008)

This list failed last time, since then, I've split the article up into List of Sendai International Music Competition winners and Sendai International Music Competition, for the list of winners and an explanation of what the competition actually is. This time around, I think it satisfies the FLC criteria. I'll be willing to address any comments in the FLC asap. Thanks. Sunderland06 (talk) 21:30, 18 August 2008 (UTC)

  • I don't like this sentence. In the second tournament in 2004, the competition became more "international" with winners from Asia, Europe and North America finished in the prize winning places. "became more international?" Isn't this already a international tournament? Yes only 2 continent winners were in the early stages but it's still international, reword this in a format that says the same but in a different way. Done
  • Japanese Saeka Matsuyama won the violin part to the final and Xiaotang Tan from China came in first place in the piano category. - violin part to the final? You mean she won that part to go the final? Done - Meant to say "in the final".

• Comments
  • " there is no actual winner" - you mean no "overall" winner surely? Done - Changed.
  • "first placed " - hyphenation required I think. Done - Fixed.
  • "highest prize" - what do you mean by highest? Comment - Highest, as in 1st place.
  • Perhaps worth saying in the opening part of the lead that the contest is held every three years. Done - Mentioned in first sentence.
  • General ref has "Sendai International Music Competition" as publisher while the specific refs have "www.simc.jp" but as far as I can tell, they're the same? Done - All changed to Sendai International Music Competition.

• What makes the following reliable sources?
  • http://www.culturalprofiles.net/Visiting%5FArts/Directories/Overview/
    • Well, I can see no reason why this would not be a reliable source, it is not publically edited, and isn't a forum or blog style. Sunderland06 (talk) 20:50, 25 August 2008 (UTC)
      • To determine the reliablity of the site, we need to know what sort of fact checking they do. You can establish this by showing news articles that say the site is reliable/noteworthy/etc. or you can show a page on the site that gives their rules for submissions/etc. or you can show they are backed by a media company/university/institute, or you can show that the website gives its sources and methods, or there are some other ways that would work too. It's their reputation for reliabilty that needs to be demonstrated. Please see Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost/2008-06-26/Dispatches for further detailed information.

        • This shows a bit detail about who uses them, and this can also be quite useful. Sunderland06 (talk) 21:16, 25 August 2008 (UTC)
          • I can live with that... Ealdgyth - Talk 21:34, 25 August 2008 (UTC)

Otherwise sources look okay. Links checked out with the link checker tool. I was unable to check the non-English language sources.

Support I gave the nominator a little guidance in IRC and made a couple of minor edits to the article. Matthewedwards (talk • contribs • email) 07:38, 28 August 2008 (UTC)
