So this list differs from my previous works on Wikipedia. Even though most of my contributions have been focused on Latin pop, tropical, and special Latin music awards, I wanted to do something different. As someone who is also fan of jazz, I wanted to contribute to a jazz-related article so I have chose to work on an award that used to be presented by Billboard. I look forward to your feedback!

Comments from Aoba47
  • This is more of a clarification question than a suggestion, but was there ever a reason given for the discontinuation for the category after 2008?
  • For this part (a ceremony which honors "the most popular albums, songs, and performers in Latin music, as determined by the actual sales, radio airplay, streaming and social data that shapes Billboard's weekly charts.”), I believe the period is supposed to go on the outside of the quotation marks, unless you are citing full sentences.
  • This is another clarification question, but how can an album, like Latin Soul, be nominated two years in a row. I would imagine for award ceremonies, like this one, there is a cut-off period to be considered for a nomination. Has anyone ever talked about this or explained how it was allowed to happened?
  • Something about this sentence (His records, Danzón (Dance On) (1994) and Hot House(1998), are both winners of the category that are also recipients of the Grammy Award for Best Latin Jazz Album.) reads awkwardly to me. I am not sure if the transition to the Grammy Award is fully working here. Maybe something like (His records, Danzón (Dance On) (1994) and Hot House (1998), are both winners of the category, and also received the Grammy Award for Best Latin Jazz Album.)?

Wonderful work with this list. The prose for the lead is well-done, and the two images have appropriate ALT text. Once my comments are addressed, I will be more than happy to support this for promotion. If possible, I would greatly appreciate any comments on my current FLC. Either way, I hope you are having a great weekend so far! Aoba47 (talk) 20:01, 13 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Aoba47: I've looked through pretty every Billboard magazine issue from 2009 and couldn't find their rationale for the removal. Only thing I could find was an article saying they added 13 new categories. According to Leila Cobo in the 2001 awards, it continued to do well on the Jazz Albums chart even though it was released in late 1999. A similar case happened where Lo Mejor de Mí (song) by Cristian Castro won the award for Latin Pop Song of the Year by Billboard in 1998 and was nominated again in 1999 because it continued to do well in the Latin Pop Songs chart. I think the opening paragraph about how Billboard determines the nominees by charts and sales probably helps with this bit. Anyways, I've addressed everything else, thanks for your input!

Comments
  • Immediately struck by the brevity of the lead. At the very least I think no noms before 1999 should be covered there.
  • Any reasoning for the discontinuation? Did it get merged into something else?
  • " first receipt of the award in 1994" recipient?
  • Ref. should Ref(s) and usually people insist on using {{abbr}} for it too...
  • If this award is so prestigious (or at least so notable that this list can even exist) should all the winning albums be linked?
  • Any reason this table shouldn't be sortable?
  • Ref 4 -> The NYT.
  • Ref 5, forgive my ignorance but what is Tronc?
  • Not all Billboard links include the publisher, any reason for that?

That's all I have. The Rambling Man (talk) 18:08, 23 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry been busy with life. I should have this done Wednesday as I'm off work that day. Erick (talk) 12:26, 30 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@The Rambling Man: So I think I've addressed just about everything. As I mentioned above, Billboard overhauled the awards in 2009 where they added 13 new categories, while also removing several of them. The table is sorting fine for me except for nominees and the ref. Erick (talk) 18:33, 31 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
The table is not sortable though? And I wonder why? The Rambling Man (talk) 13:11, 9 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@The Rambling Man: I now have it so that the only the ref column is unsortable. How does it look now? Erick (talk) 21:34, 11 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, I can't see the arrows, presumably because you've coloured the cells? The col scope should already give it a background shading... The Rambling Man (talk) 21:24, 13 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@The Rambling Man: Gotcha. I now have the arrows visible where on columns that are sortable. Erick (talk) 13:46, 16 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
