Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Voice-Over Performance[edit]

I'd like to address a few things. First, you will notice that some of the references do not cover everything in the table. However, such things are covered by the general ref to the official Emmy awards page. It does not allow you to link to individual pages, so one must do a search for the proper category (hence the individual citations). As well, I was forced to use Newsbank articles for some of the older categories. This is because 1) the afore mentioned problem 2) The table looked weird not having citations for every row and 3) have you ever tried finding free online articles from 1993? As well, I would be willing to merge the TV show & episode columns or remove the episode column completely. Have fun reviewing, and all concerns will be addressed by me. -- Scorpion0422 23:37, 25 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    • I think that the table is overlinked, it should be enough to have one link to The Simpsons and not have the rest of the list linked to the same name. Also to the network Fox, the same case. Jaespinoza (talk) 03:48, 26 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
      • Normally I would agree, but the FL standard has been to link every column in a sortable table, that way when a user sorts it, there won't be five rows of unsorted links, then one blue link. -- Scorpion0422 03:53, 26 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment - name column needs to sort by last name. --Golbez (talk) 08:53, 26 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comments sources look okay. Links checked out with the link checker tool. Ealdgyth - Talk 13:23, 26 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: The_Plain_Dealer is an ambigous link. — Dispenser 23:08, 26 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - it would be nice to see it expanded a bit, if possible. How/why was it created? Was there any predecessor? Is there a reason why it wasn't awarded in those two years? In the lede, it'd be nice if some more detail was given in the second paragraph. Right now it seems like it's really promoting the Simpsons. For example, maybe expand on people winning for live-action roles, since you mention it once in the first paragraph, then don't mention it again. Small little quibble: It is awarded to a performer - the first year was awarded to six people from the same show. Perhaps that could be re-worded. ♬♩ Hurricanehink (talk) 00:35, 1 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Looks okay. Just one thing worries me: Some entries in the episode column are blank. I'm guessing some such as Unforgivable Blackness don't apply, so inserting an "N/A" or emdash would be a good way to show that it's not simply an oversight. However, the ones for Seth McFarlane in 2000, Hank Azaria in 1998, and Ja'net Du Bois in 99 should all have the episodes (since others winners from the same series have the episodes stated). At the moment it appears to be incomplete, and that is all that's stopping me from supporting. Matthewedwards (talk • contribs • email) 08:00, 6 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    • As far as I can tell, during that era they didn't have individual episodes, they used multiple. I could remove the column, wiuld that be better? -- Scorpion0422 14:33, 6 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    • Few things, series usually have episode names and some on here are missing like for Family Guy, which I know has episode names. Special episodes should also have a name, which I think should be researched as without it makes the table really unbalanced.
    • Another thing, you spell PBS in it's trademarked form, yet you spell FOX "Fox" and not in it's trademarked form of (FOX).

      • Like I said, I don't think they had nominations for individual episodes during that period. However, I decided to just remove the column for now. As for FOX vs. Fox, there have been many debates about it, and as far as I can tell, Fox is the most accepted version. -- Scorpion0422 16:30, 6 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
