Nominator(s): Another Believer (Talk) 21:19, 12 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I am nominating this for featured list because I believe it meets criteria and closely resembles other Grammy lists with FL status. I specifically request feedback regarding the necessity of the Nationality column for this particular list. The category honors Native American music--it appears to be the case that award-winning performing artists are American, though I could not find enough information about all of them to identify which Native American tribes they belong to, if any. It would certainly be possible for non-Native American artists to release a Native American music album and win, but given the award category has retired with all Native American recipients, is the column necessary? I would just state in the lead that all performing artists were American, but I cannot find a source making this claim. In my opinion, a Producer(s) column would be more appropriate than the Nationality column given the number of award-winning compilation albums in which producer(s) received an award. Thoughts? Thanks, as always, to reviewers for your assistance. Another Believer (Talk) 21:19, 12 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • Good point regarding nationality. I'm in no way an expert but would be mildly surprised if Native Americans consider their nationality to be "United States". Losing the column would look odd compared to the other Grammy lists though... I'm happy to switch it for Producers.
Noted. Waiting for other comments/feedback... --Another Believer (Talk) 01:39, 22 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

*"the award was first presented to" perhaps reassert Grammy here because we've talked about other ceremonies in the meantime..

  • "artists have criticized the award category" now the cat is defunct, should this be "artists criticized the award category"? Or something similar?
Done. Changed tense, therefore also changed "take" to "took". --Another Believer (Talk) 01:39, 22 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • "he award is presented to " was presented?
Done. --Another Believer (Talk) 01:39, 22 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks so much! Will address Nationality column once I receive additional feedback. --Another Believer (Talk) 01:39, 22 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comments –
  • I think that for this particular list, replacing the Nationality column with a producer column makes sense. Not all lists in a series have to have the exact same format if circumstances dictate the use of an alternative method.
Agreed. Will make change based on 3-0 consensus. Doing... --Another Believer (Talk) 17:53, 25 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Done. Grammy sit lists Tom Wasinger and Thomas A. Wasinger--should the table display the same as the Grammy site or should each entry appear as the latter for consistency? --Another Believer (Talk) 18:10, 25 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • "The name of the award has remained unchanged since 2001." That could use an update, since it obviously isn't going to be changed now.
Done. --Another Believer (Talk) 17:53, 25 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • "The award has been presented to artists or groups originating from the United States each year to date". Not sure if you were planning to drop this due to the verifiability issue you mentioned, but if it's kept this also should be updated in the "was" form.
Removed sentence. --Another Believer (Talk) 17:53, 25 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Note III: "An award was presented to Jim Wilson as the producers of the album." The word "producers" should be singular, without the s at the end. Giants2008 (27 and counting) 17:30, 25 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Done. This note will be removed once the Producer(s) column is added. --Another Believer (Talk) 17:53, 25 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Done. Thank you for your feedback. --Another Believer (Talk) 17:53, 25 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • To answer the one question up there, I would make Wasinger's name the same throughout, assuming this is in fact the same person for all three relevant awards. The readers might otherwise think they are two different people. Giants2008 (27 and counting) 02:16, 27 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Perhaps "Thomas Wasinger" would be best for Tom Wasinger vs. Thomas A. Wasinger? --Another Believer (Talk) 15:39, 31 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Done. --Another Believer (Talk) 19:39, 30 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
