Ok with a quick turn-around I bring to you the fourth Aurealis Award list, following in the style of 1, 2, and 3. Thanks in advance. Salavat (talk) 16:20, 16 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Support Oppose. The leading section section is confusing and has other problems:
the presentation ceremony is held the following year Could an approximate (season, month) time, when it is typically held, be specified?This article lists all the short-list nominees and winners in the best young-adult novel category, as well as novels that have been highly commended Is "young-adult novel category" the same as "young-adult fiction novels" mentioned above or "young-adult speculative fiction" mentioned in the infobox?- The "young-adult novel category" part is the name of the award, it wouldnt make sense for me to call it anything else. I added the word of "speculative" to the second sentence, first paragraph to emphisize that the young adult award is for speculative fiction. The part in the infobox i have added the word "novel" too.
Can you clarify what "novels that have been highly commended" means? Why they are just commended and not included in the list of nominees or given an award?- Their is no formal explanation for why they have been commended. One could assume they are commended because the judges liked them but not enough to make them a finalist, but then that would be OR. They arent in the main list because they are not a finalist or a winner. Salavat (talk) 13:18, 17 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- The ceremony has grown from a small function of around 20 people to a two-day event attended by over 200 people. This sentence should be the last in the third paragraph, not the first. It would be logical if a discussion of the presentation ceremony were after a discussion of the award itself.
- Moved both sentences about how the ceremony reception to the bottom of the third paragraph. Salavat (talk) 13:18, 17 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
You said below that there is only one ceremony for all awards. You also changed "award" to "awards" in the last two sentences. These two sentences, which are now about all awards (not about any specific award) should be moved to the second paragraph. The sentence about the ceremony should consequently be moved to the end of the first paragraph. Ruslik_Zero 14:01, 17 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

It is not clear if a separate ceremony is held for each award or if they are presented at one event?It has attracted the attention of publishers by setting down a benchmark in science fiction and fantasy. What does "It" refer to here: ceremony or award? It is probably the award as it is unlikely that the ceremony is "setting down a benchmark in science fiction and fantasy". (Change "It" to "Award").

- Comment the list has far too many redlinks on the central subject, the books in question, for my liking. Sandman888 (talk) 21:25, 17 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- per WP:ACCESS colour shouldn't be used as a stand-alone indicator. You will have to figure out another way of seperating winners from nominees.Sandman888 (talk) 08:35, 26 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Sorry for the delay. Sandman888 (talk) 08:31, 28 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Lead: could you expand it to say something about what the award means for sales, how prestigious it is, something along those lines.
- Images; there's not a lot. Some of the authors wd be nice. As well as some from the ceremony.
- Added some images of the authors. A search on flickr returned some images of the Aurealis Awards but nothing more then shots on people. Salavat (talk) 16:07, 29 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- High commendations section cd use an introduction.

- Dabs; please check the disambiguation links identified in the toolbox. Dabomb87 (talk) 01:35, 11 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment - In the list of categories in the lead, I believe that "...horror, speculative young-adult fiction, with separate awards for novels and short fiction, collections, anthologies..." should be written as "...horror, speculative young-adult fiction—with separate awards for novels and short fiction—collections, anthologies...". Using a regular comma in the middle of sequential commas is confusing. Note that that's an em-dash (I think? The long one.) Either that or make it "...young-adult novels, young-adult short fiction, ...". --PresN 13:45, 19 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
