List of awards received by Michael Jackson

edit

I'm nominating this because I believe it meets all FL criteria. It's comprehensive and cited with reliable sources. Pyrrhus16 13:02, 3 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Shouldn't it be: "List of awards and nominations received by Michael Jackson"? Dabomb87 (talk) 14:43, 3 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

There are no nominations listed. It would take forever to find every award he has been nominated for. Pyrrhus16 14:49, 3 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I have to agree with Pyrrhus on that point, the logistics of having every award Jackson has won and been nominated for would be entirely overbearing on a reader. There would be difficulty loading the page for a start. — R2 16:22, 3 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
If the list is only for the awards Jackson won, shouldn't the result in the table be removed. Frcm1988 (talk) 18:04, 3 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I don't think there is a way to remove that column. Besides, it's also used to differentiate between awards won and hall of fame inductions. Pyrrhus16 18:39, 3 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
How about renaming the list to "List of awards received by Michael Jackson"? Gary King (talk) 03:24, 5 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, what Gary King said is OK. Dabomb87 (talk) 03:37, 5 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

  • Some of the nominated work is missing: for example in the Soul Train Awards, in the Best R&B/Urban Contemporary (Music Video), what video was nominated?
  • The book in which I used for reference doesn't state which video won that award.
  • Did Jackson actually won the BRIT Award for Best British Album?
  • According to the reference book, yes.
  • Africa should be replaced for Gabon.
    Done
  • In the International Awards there are only the names of the countries but not the name of the Award, and also what was the nominated work.
  • Again, the book doesn't state and I wouldn't like to assume.
  • In the Golden Globe Awards, which award did he won? Best Original Song I suppose.
  • Done
  • The MTV European Music Awards should be in a table like the rest of awards.
    The MTV Europe awards? They are in a table, unless I misunderstood the comment?
  • Some of the awards are lacking a description, like the Smash Hits, or in Mix Magazine he won for Best Foreign Male Singer but it dosen't said from which country is the magazine.
    Added the countries. Pyrrhus16 18:45, 3 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Lead
  • The seventh child of the Jackson family, he debuted on the professional music scene at the age of 11 as a member of The Jackson 5 and began a solo career in 1971 while still a member of the group. - comma before and
  • Done
Will move after FL discussion, it was messing with the link to here - despite a redirect. Pyrrhus16 10:16, 4 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • The lead needs to be expanded a bit, I see many many awards listed, some of those should be summarized further in the prose.
  • Added a bit more info to the lead. Pyrrhus16 10:19, 4 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
List
  • Some of the entries are missing the description/purpose of the awards.
    Little is known about some of the awards. Pyrrhus16 10:36, 5 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
    Research will have to be done then because you can't just have some awards that don't list their purpose, it questions the reader as to what they were nominated for.--TRUCO 22:07, 5 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Some of the entries are missing references for the description/purpose of the awards.
  • Which descriptions do you feel need a reference? Pyrrhus16 10:36, 5 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Many of them, some of the awards have descriptions as to why they are held, but this is not verified with a reference. It seems redundant to source it in this article, but you can't have original research in the article.--TRUCO 22:07, 5 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Since this is a list of his awards and not his nominations, I find it redundant to list the result in every entry.
As I said above, I don't think there is a way to remove that column. However it's also used to differentiate between awards won and hall of fame inductions.Pyrrhus16 09:31, 4 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I guess, this should be discussed at the template page or the respective project page to see if the "result" field can be made optional per lists like these. What above my first 2 comments in this section?--TRUCO 23:00, 4 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

  • This section goes before the references per WP:SEEALSO
    • Done — R2 07:56, 4 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
References
  • The grammy award reference should have Grammy award piped linked in the publisher field.
  • The RIAA should not be piped to www.riaa.com, it should be just RIAA, or the acronym should be spelled out.
    • Done — R2 07:53, 4 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • The reagan-utexas.edu should be linked to the appropriate article
    • It doesn't have a corresponding article on Wikipedia, that I know of.
  • ABC News needs to be linked.
    • ABC News is linked in the footnotes once, on the first occasion it is used. Do we need to keep relinking the same publisher each time in the notes? I'm not a fan of linking for the sake of linking. — R2 07:53, 4 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

--TRUCO 00:47, 4 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

  • I'm sorry, I didn't see that it was linked already. No, no need to link it again.--TRUCO 23:00, 4 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • No problem. — R2 13:38, 5 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Weak oppose from Dabomb87 (talk · contribs) There are some basic errors that result from not having an outside editor looking through it with a detailed eye. Luckily, the problems aren't large; a twenty-minute proofread by someone new to the article should suffice. A larger problem is that lack of description for awards. Examples:

  • Birthdate not necessary; this isn't his main article.
  • Done
  • "The seventh child of the Jackson family" Another irrelevant detail.
  • Done
  • "at the age of 11"
  • "and a RIAA certification" Spell out RIAA on its first appearance.
  • Done
  • "has also been honoured "
  • Done
  • "is an organisation which helps"-->is an organisation that helps
  • Done
  • "whilst facing"-->while facing
  • Done
  • Jackson has went on to collect 22 "-->Jackson has collected 22
  • Done
  • Why is there no description of the American Video Awards?
  • "BET Awards" Once again, there is no description.
  • Many of the awards have no description.
  • "The Billboard Music Awards, sponsored by Billboard magazine" Comma after here.
  • Done
  • "has won a total of 40 Billboard related"-->has won 40 Billboard-related
  • Done
  • "hem as royalties to those members" Dabomb87 (talk) 23:41, 5 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Those were only examples; please find somebody to go through the whole text. Dabomb87 (talk) 01:19, 8 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

  • Done

Sources

  • Citations with multiple page numbers should use the notation "pp."
  • Done
  • Dates should not have leading 0s. Example: "Retrieved on February 03, 2009"-->Retrieved on February 3, 2009 Dabomb87 (talk) 23:41, 5 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Comments

  • When does the Michael Jackson ceremony take place? What I mean by that is that List of Saturn Awards, List of BAFTA awards, List of Grammy Awards would be okay, because they are awards of Saturn, the BAFTAs, Grammys. There are no Michael Jackson awards, only awards received by Michael Jackson. The page title should reflect that. Matthewedwards (talk • contribs • email) 08:03, 11 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
    • We will certainly find a more suitable name when the FLC is closed, as you can imagine, this is not the best time to go changing titles. — R2 14:09, 11 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • I don't think you need to start with "Michael Joseph Jackson". It isn't the name he goes by as a performer, and it is given at Michael Jackson.
    • Done. — R2 14:09, 11 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Has there been any progress? I still have not heard a reason for why many awards have no descriptions. Language concerns still – "Bravo is the largest teen magazine within the German-language sphere." Why such a jargony and vague word like "sphere"? "Its membership comprises hundreds of music companies including" Comma after "companies". "a weekly publication devoted to the music and coin-operated machine industries which was published from July " "which"-->that. "Jackson was awarded with a humanitarian award, from the Crenshaw Community Youth & Arts Foundation, in 1994.[14]" Repetition of "award" and the comma is not necessary. Dabomb87 (talk) 01:18, 15 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It's rather difficult to find a description and reference for all 80+ awards. It would certainly take more than the 10 day allocation, therefore, I suggest withdrawing this and resubmitting when all concerns have been met. Probably submitting it for Peer Review beforehand. I hadn't anticipated the work that goes into Featured Content and submitted this way too early, as you can see here. Pyrrhus16 10:22, 15 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Agree, we know what needs doing, it's just going to take some time. Best to let this close, we will be back. :) — R2 13:36, 15 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
