Nominator(s): Leo Mercury (talk) 21:58, 5 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I am nominating this for featured list because the article mentions all the most important awards won by the artist and it meets the criteria. Leo Mercury (talk) 21:58, 5 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

;Comments
  • FLs don't start "This is a list...."
  • Could do with an additional paragraph summarising Moroder's career/works to give some background.
  • "for the Daft Punk's album" => "for Daft Punk's album"
  • "In 2005, Moroder was named a Commendatore Ordine al Merito della Repubblica Italiana,[2] and in 2010, the Italian city of Bolzano awarded him the Grande Ordine al Merito della Provincia autonoma di Bolzano" - neither of these seems to be in the table.
  • Don't think the first column in the table should be centre-aligned
  • Think that's it from me -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 13:23, 10 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    • Done. I decided to separate awards from other honors. --Leo Mercury (talk) 18:54, 12 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Further comments
    • "Giorgio Moroder is one of the precursors" - precursor is not the right word here, because it means something that comes before something, so it suggests that Moroder came before EDM, which isn't really accurate. I would say "one of the originators"
    • "He has also been dubbed as the" => "He has also been dubbed the"
    • "In the course of his carreer" - too many Rs in career
    • "His other two awards were for the Donna Summer's single" => "His other two awards were for Donna Summer's single"
    • "In 2011, he was awarded with the Lifetime Achievement Award" - to avoid repeating "award", suggest saying "In 2011, he received the Lifetime Achievement Award"
    • Headings on the Recipients and Category columns in the table are the wrong way round
    • Now that you have made the table sortable (it wasn't when I looked before) you need to make some fixes to the sorting. Anything starting with a " should sort on the first word, as if the " isn't there. Moroder's name should sort under M, not G. And The NeverEnding Story should sort under N for Never.
  • That's it from me -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 20:44, 13 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comments –

  • Blisspop (reference 4) doesn't sound like that reliable of a source. Do we even need it, given that two other sources support his nickname?
  • The all caps in ref 6 should be removed.
  • The book used in ref 15 could use a page number for verifiability purposes. Giants2008 (Talk) 23:16, 23 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    • Done. I did not put a page number for ref 15 (now ref 14), instead I used a Google Books link that brings you directly to the quoted page. --Leo Mercury (talk) 15:46, 25 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

(Intending to claim WikiCup points for this review.)
  • his work with synthesizers heavily influenced several music genres such as new wave, house and techno music – I don't see the Time source mentioning these genres (unless they're mentioned by synonyms that I don't understand).
 Done I found a better source.
  • In the refs, what's the reason that some website are described by URLs and some by the website name? Why is "Quirinale.it" not in italics?
 Done
  • The table captions seem a little unconventional to me—I believe the purpose is so that people who use screen readers understand the purpose of the table, which is not e.g. "Name of country or city, year given, and name of honor", but "State and local honors received by Giorgio Moroder" or "State and local honors" or similar. It's okay for this to be redundant to the section title. The main "Awards and nominations" list should also have a caption.
 Done
  • For further accessibility, the lead image should have alt text and I believe the caption "Moroder in 2007" shouldn't use small text. On the infobox matter, there's now a new-ish template for this—{{Infobox awards list}}—but I think the current version is fine too.
 Done
  • Should state and local honors not be chronological?
 Done
  • In the lead, state and local honors are in italics but in the table they are not. Is there a reason for it?
 Done
  • The table note "Each year is linked to the article about the awards held that year, wherever possible." is a self-reference to avoid (no guarantee that reuse of the content would include links).
 Done
  • "Flashdance... What a Feeling" (from Flashdance) should have italics in the second Flashdance.
 Done
  • Flashdance is linked in 1984 after being linked in a small text earlier in the table.
    • That is because it is linked to the soundtrack page, not the film article since the Grammy Awards nominated just the album.
  • I wonder if it would be good to mention the Raspberries in the lead, because they're uniquely negative to receive (though I know many still consider them an honor).
    • I tried to keep only the major awards in the lead.
  • Can the Metropolis link go to the Moroder remake section, Metropolis (1927 film)#Giorgio Moroder version (1984)?
 Done

Good prose in the lead, all the award references good and can't find any significant accolades omitted from the article. Interesting to see one of these lists for something where the bulk of the awards were pre-internet, and a very interesting figure. Just the nitpicks above. — Bilorv (Black Lives Matter) 21:58, 15 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
