I've listed this article for peer review because I am hoping this list will eventually reach FL status. I created List of awards and nominations received by Rufus Wainwright and took it up to FL status, and I hope to do the same for this Fiona Apple list. Any feedback would be appreciated before making this article a featured list candidate.

Thanks so much! -Whataworld06 (talk) 03:11, 23 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

  • "The first two albums were released under Clean Slate Records/Work Records, while the third was released on Epic Records." "while"-->and.
Done.
Done. I have been told otherwise in the past, but I am more than willing to cooperate.
To explain this, MOS:LINK says: "items that would be familiar to most readers, such as the names of major geographic features and locations" should not be linked. Dabomb87 (talk) 19:43, 24 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
That's really good to know, actually. Thanks for the link! -Whataworld06 (talk) 21:12, 24 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Redundant phrasing: "Throughout her career, Apple has received a total of two nominations from the Billboard Music Video Awards"
Done.
  • "Apple has received one nomination."-->Apple has been nominated once.
Done.
  • "which they say recognizes "the music voted best by college students." " Where is the source for that quote? Also see WP:PUNC, if the period is not part of the quote, the quotation marks should be inside the quotation marks. Dabomb87 (talk) 19:18, 24 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Done. I removed the quote, mentioned that winners are determined by online voting, and added a source to the mtvU Official Voting Rules site. I hope all of the above corrections help! -Whataworld06 (talk) 21:25, 24 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

  • She has released three albums of original music: Tidal (1996), When the Pawn... (1999) and Extraordinary Machine (2005). - comma before and
Done.
  • Several of Apple's singles have charted in both the U.S. and U.K., including "Shadowboxer", "Sleep to Dream", "Criminal", "Never is a Promise", and "Fast as You Can". - 1)On the first occurrence of the countries, the name of the country should be spelled out 2)If you are talking about the chart, the chart name should be mentioned and linked, not just U.K. because that can throw the reader off into thinking its about the country itself.
Done.
  • Since then, Apple has received nominations from the Billboard Music Video Awards, California Music Awards, a total of seven recognitions from the Grammy Awards, mtvU Woodie Awards, MTV Video Music Awards, and the New Pantheon Music Prize. - you state that she has seven Grammy noms, but I see the others have more than 1 nom as well, why not mention it?
Done.
  • I would, IMO, expand the lead a bit more, add a few more notes about here awards, like here first award and her most recent one.
Comment: I am not sure which came first, but three significant recognitions are listed in association with her debut album. I will try to find a way to incorporate awards associated with her most recent album.
  • The first two award sections need an elaboration as to what the awards are for, like in the other sections.
Done.
  • The Grammy Awards are awarded annually by the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences of the United States for outstanding achievements in the record industry. Often considered the highest music honor, the awards were established in 1958. - I don't know why in other lists this is not sourced, but it should be.
Done.
    • mtvU is a division of MTV Networks which broadcasts a 24-hour television channel that is available on more than 750 college and university campuses across the United States. A Viacom-owned channel, mtvU both provides an alternative to standard music television for college students, and gives advertisers and music promotion companies access to college-age viewers, a valuable but traditionally difficult-to-reach demographic group. mtvU also has its own annual awards show, the mtvU Woodie Awards, which they say recognizes "the music voted best by college students." - this as well
Done.
    • The MTV Video Music Awards were established in the end of the summer of 1984 by MTV to celebrate the top music videos of the year. Originally beginning as an alternative to the Grammy Awards, the MTV Video Music Awards is now a respected pop culture awards show in its own right. - and this
Done.
    • The New Pantheon Music Prize is a music award given annually to an album released in the United States. The Shortlist Music Prize was first given in 2001. In 2005, the Shortlist Prize was given under another name, the New Pantheon Prize. In September 2006, Shortlist co-founder Greg Spotts purchased complete ownership of the Shortlist and the New Pantheon, uniting the two prizes. A panel of music industry figures chooses the nominees and winners. Records are eligible if they are released between July two years previously and October of the previous year, and if they have not been certified gold (or sold 500,000 copies) by time of nomination. - also this
Done.
  • In ref #1, no need to have the (billboard.com) in the publisher field, remove
Done.
  • How reliable is Chart stats and Rock on the net?
Comment: I have seen Rock on the Net used for several featured lists (see Radiohead's awards list). Also, I see you were directed here on your Talk Page.
  • Time of music.com seems unreliable, as it looks more like a blog site, how reliable is this source?
Done. That source is no longer being used. Now MTV and Rock on the Net are used for references.

  • Followup
  • Its much better now and ready for FL IMO, I would still consider adding a bit more to the lead to make it summarize the list a bit more.--TRUCO 02:56, 24 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Thank you so much for you assistance and suggestions. I added a bit more to the summary, and I hope these edits satisfy your requests. -Whataworld06 (talk) 03:55, 24 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
