My first literary award attempt. It is well written and sourced. Looking forward to feedbacks. Yashthepunisher (talk) 15:29, 3 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Comments from BeatlesLedTV
  • Any reason a third of the table has ! scope="row" and the other two thirds is | scope="row"? Change one or the other; make sure it's consistent.
  • Every note you have has "Awarded for ...". Could there be a separate column just for "Award"? If not I'd put the notes next to the names and leave the ref column by itself.
  • "Refs." → "Ref."; only have 1 ref per year.
  • Are there any more pictures you could use that are relevant?
  • In external links, use a bullet point.
  • Could we put the book references in their own bibliography section and use sfn referencing?

That's all I got. Great job! BeatlesLedTV (talk) 20:56, 3 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@BeatlesLedTV: Done. Thank you for your comments. Yashthepunisher (talk) 06:03, 4 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Comments from Ssven2
  • Refs 18, 19 and 20 do not point to any citation. Fix them.
I still can't figure out the problem here, maybe its because these refs don't mention the authors name. Yashthepunisher (talk) 13:35, 4 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Yashthepunisher: I have resolved the problem now. Try to implement it in the future next time.  — Ssven2 Looking at you, kid 14:27, 4 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • "The Moortidevi Award is an India literary award annually presented by the Bharatiya Jnanpith, a literary and research organization to an author for their "contemplative and perceptive work". — the second part after the comma doesn't look right. Perhaps a comma like "...by the Bharatiya Jnanpith, a literary and research organization, to an author for their...". BTW, its "organisation", not "organization" (as the article is about an India-related topic, Indian English usage is better here.)
Done.
  • "In 2003, the award..." — Do you mean "Since 2003"?
Done.
@Yashthepunisher: Thats about it from me. Interesting list this.  — Ssven2 Looking at you, kid 13:08, 4 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Yashthepunisher: I will now support this article's promotion.  — Ssven2 Looking at you, kid 14:27, 4 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Ssven2: Thank you so much for everything. Yashthepunisher (talk) 14:34, 4 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Comments

  • Any image we could use in the infobox under fair use for the statue, or plaque, or shawl, which is presented to each winner?
Sorry, I couldn't find any.
  • "only to the Indian" either lose "the" or replace it with "those".
  • "Since 2003, the" -> "From 2003,..."
  • Link ₹ in the lead.
  • "in the year 2011" no need for "the year".
  • Ditto for 2013.
  • Link Kannada first time round in the lead.
  • "first recipient of the award was the Kannada writer C. K. Nagaraja Rao who received the award " recipient .. award ... received ... award... repetitive.
  • "Out of twenty-three eligible languages the award has been presented for works in nine languages:" Reverse this, "Works have been presented the award in nine of the twenty-three eligible languages"
  • "given in the year 1985 and " no need for "the year" again.
  • " one women author. In 1991, Odia " replace the full stop with a colon as the two sentences are intrinsically linked.
  • "The most recent " see WP:ASOF.
  • "the year 2016" - again, ditch "the year".
  • "Later in November," either "In November that year" or just "Later that year", but not both.
  • " Jain along with" comma after Jain.
  • "and Lakshmi Chandra Jain presented " comma before presented.
  • " the then President of India" hyphenate.
  • "was first held in 1983." the award wasn't "first held", it was first "presented" or the ceremony at which it was presented was "first held".
  • "The recipient for a particular year is announced by the Selection Board, which has final authority in selection.[3]" seems nugatory to me.
  • Row scopes need a "!" rather than a "|".
  • "Awarded forMrityunjay." space needed.
  • Why isn't the winning work named in the table rather than those various footnotes?
It's because we don't have information about some awardee's winning work and listing the rest in the table won't be appropriate.
It would be better to list the info we do have in the table with "not known" for those we don't. The Rambling Man (talk) 08:03, 12 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
The Rambling Man, Is it okay now. Yashthepunisher (talk) 08:38, 12 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • The list has two "philosophy" categories yet "philosophy" is not mentioned at all in the list or the lead.
I have removed those categories, since the award is not directly related to them.

The Rambling Man Thank you for your comments. Yashthepunisher (talk) 08:01, 12 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Comments from Vedant
  • The lead has the "contemplative and perceptive work" bit mentioned twice. The second instance should suffice.
Done.
  • Not sure if "bestowed [...] to" is the correct use of prepositions.
Rephrased.
  • Not sure why Kannada, Gujarati, and Odia and not mentioned together of all have won 2 awards. Also, if so mention them in a chronological order.
Fixed.
  • "As of 2017, Bengali poet Joy Goswami is the recipient of the award." - the latest? most recent?
Done
  • "The language of the most recent recipient's work is not eligible for consideration for the next two years." - How have Hindi writers won 16/30 awards then?
The sentence is self-contradictory. I have removed it now.
  • You could put up a picture of Pratibha Ray as well as she is only woman to have won the award?
Done.

That's it for now Yash. NumerounovedantTalk 06:32, 19 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Numerounovedant I'm afraid the only information I could find is that the Bharatiya Jnanpith had first started the 'Jnanpith Award' in 1965 and the Moortidevi Award began in '83. Yashthepunisher (talk) 13:06, 19 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
In that case, I can support this nomination. Great work Yash, it's a gem of a list that you have here. NumerounovedantTalk 18:22, 19 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for the comments and support, Vedant. Really appreciated. Yashthepunisher (talk) 11:20, 20 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Resolved Comments, I support this nomination — Force Radical ( Talk • Contribs ) 06:59, 3 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • The sentence in the lede " As of 2017, Bengali poet Joy Goswami is the most recent recipient of the award. "lacks a citation
Done
  • Please use consistent ISBN's
Done
  • Some of the citations lack access dates
PDF files don't require access dates, the rest seems fine.
  • The "not known" in the works section sound akward please replace it with some other wording or with the appropriate book
Appropriate books of some of these awardees are unavailable. Can you suggest a better wording? Yashthepunisher (talk) 11:34, 31 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
You could simply use a dash and a footnote explaining the reason for the anomaly.- — comment added by Force Radical«talk🎄contribs» 15:04, 1 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Force Radical I have provided dash for the unknown works, but a footnote seems redundant to me as a dash is self-explanatory that its not known. Yashthepunisher (talk) 12:23, 2 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

If these are done I'll certainly support the list .Happy Holidays and keep up the great job. — comment added by Force Radical 🎆talk 🎄 contribs🎆 09:24, 29 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
