Meets FL criteria. The list is based on similar Grammy FLs. Albacore (talk) 23:30, 7 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Some comments from Ruby2010
  • Capitalize "qualitiy" in infobox
  • Also in the infobox, add the | holder = parameter for John Benjamin Hickey (see this for an example).
  • You use "win", "won", and "winning" a lot. Could you input some synonyms?
  • "...whereas both parts of Tony Kushner's Angels in America series have also won the award." This and the Neil Simon blurb imply that the plays themselves won, rather than the actors in them. Ruby 2010/2013 04:18, 10 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
All fixed. Albacore (talk) 20:52, 10 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Support My concerns were addressed. Ruby 2010/2013 18:42, 21 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

;Comments
  • "the award was changed to its" nope, the award changed its name, the award itself didn't change.
  • "most victories in" victory seems like an odd way of phrasing this, maybe "with the most awards" or something.
  • Especially since he's the only multiple winner.
  • Is it Eugene trilogy or Eugene Trilogy?
I've seen it used both ways with regards to capitalization. The way it is now is fine. Albacore (talk) 15:35, 14 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Charles (image) or Charlie (list) Ruggles, be consistent.
  • Since there were no nominees until 1956, is that worth a note in the lead?
  • I'm not sure why not all online references don't have access dates?

;Comments:
  • Add a caption to the winners table.
Don't think this is needed, as the header serves as an indication of what is in the table. Albacore (talk) 19:53, 15 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Link the names in the captions.
Linked.
  • If available, it would be a valuable addition to have more images of award recipients.
Added two photos.

Support. I'd add more images, but this is already a very good list. Parutakupiu (talk) 20:02, 15 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comments –
  • In "Antoinette Perry Award for Excellence in Theatre", should "Award" be plural like in the Tony Awards?
Yes, a Google News search shows that is how it is pluralized. Albacore (talk) 11:29, 17 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Watch for a couple of "in order to"s that can be chopped into just "to", reducing wordiness.
  • "Before 1956, nominees names were not made public". "nominees" needs an apostrophe at the end.
  • "won the award. The award's...". Repetitive from one sentence to the next, don't you think?
  • "A supporting actor in each of Neil Simon's Eugene trilogy plays, have taken the Tony." First, "have" should be "has" since it refers to the actor, not plays. Second, the comma should be removed.
  • Was there no award given in 1950? I don't see anything wrong with including it in the table with dashes where needed, just to clarify that fact, if that's indeed the case.
  • Note II mentions the Reference column, which is now Ref. This would be better if the note was changed to be consistent with the heading. Giants2008 (Talk) 02:50, 17 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
All fixed. Albacore (talk) 11:29, 17 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
