I am nominating this for featured list because I believe it meets FL criteria and closely resembles other Grammy-related featured lists I have successfully nominated (Best Alternative Music Album, Best Male Rock Vocal Performance, Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album). I realize another Grammy-related list is currently being examined by reviewers, but most of the concerns have been addressed and the list has received support from multiple reviewers, so I thought it was appropriate to nominate another list (and I have other lists waiting as well). Thanks again to reviewers for taking the time to offer suggestions! Another Believer (Talk) 16:40, 24 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  • Do we need to know that the New York Times is printed by the New York Times Company, et.al.? The Boston Globe perhaps, but it's almost as repetitive as saying that the New York Times is published in New York. --Golbez (talk) 22:33, 26 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I always felt it was most appropriate to include as much reference information as possible. If you feel strongly about not including the name of the publisher, or if another reviewer agrees with you, I'd be happy to remove it. --Another Believer (Talk) 05:02, 28 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I saw it asked for on the FAC for Anna Wintour so it seems to be something people care about. It seems purely redundant in cases like the New York Times, Seattle Times, Washington Post, etc... I mean, if you're going to include 'as much as possible' you'd better include the cities as well... but I somehow think that won't improve anyone's ability to look up the citation. :P --Golbez (talk) 05:49, 28 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I removed the publisher information for The New York Times and The Seattle Times, as requested. --Another Believer (Talk) 15:58, 28 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  • Suggest redlinking all songs that don't have articles that won the award, per TRM's criticism last time.
Done. --Another Believer (Talk) 23:44, 28 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Alt text: "A man wearing a black shirt, looking down and holding a guitar." I'd prefer it to say 'playing', and I think that that is specifically a bass guitar.
Done. --Another Believer (Talk) 23:44, 28 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  • " at the 31st Grammy Awards." could contextualise this by telling us non-experts when that was.
Done. --Another Believer (Talk) 20:52, 1 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • "that the music of Jethro Tull does not belong " did not belong? The criticism was "at the time" after all...
Done. Also changed "to" to "in". --Another Believer (Talk) 20:52, 1 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • "when Soundgarden's Chris Cornell was perplexed by the organization's nomination of the band Dokken in this category" why should Soundgarden's Chris Cornell's opinion carry any weight?
I changed the wording to "rock musician Chris Cornell (lead vocalist for the band Soundgarden)"--I think indicating that Cornell is a rock musician shows that his opinion would indeed carry weight in the rock music field. (Hopefully, you would agree, but let me know if more changes are needed). --Another Believer (Talk) 20:52, 1 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • "with a total of six wins" no need to repeat "wins"
Done. --Another Believer (Talk) 20:52, 1 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • "with eight nominations total." just "with eight." would suffice.
Done. --Another Believer (Talk) 20:52, 1 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

As always, thank you for your suggestions! --Another Believer (Talk) 20:52, 1 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support – Looks good to me. Might be worth checking whether the Chicago Tribune articles can be found freely online here, but nothing is wrong with those sources as is, so it's nothing to withhold support over. Giants2008 (27 and counting) 21:24, 2 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
