I am nominating this for featured list because this is a complete list of the awards and nominations received by American recording artist Madonna, till date. It has been carefully structured alphabetically according to the awards and contains details about what she won, when etc. Hence with the consensus of my fellow reviewers, I would like to see the list promoted to a featured lists status. — Legolas (talk2me) 16:28, 22 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comments

  • RIAA in ref 1 should be linked
Done.
  • "Flash" in ref 16 should not be capitalized
Done.
  • Who's the publisher for ref 41
Added.

  • Madonna a pop icon for pushing the boundaries of lyrical content in popular music and imagery in her music videos which became a fixture on MTV. < I would say Madonna became a pop icon
    • Oh god, that was embarassing.
  • The Billboard Music Video Awards is sponsored by Billboard magazine to honor artists and their music video < music videos
    • Done,
  • The MVPA Awards is held annually by Music Video Production Association to honor the best music videos in a variety of genre, style, and production a <shouldn't genre, style and production all be plural?
    • Well at the end of the line I'm including categories so in that sense I did not include the plural of genre or style. Am I missing something?
      • I see now it does make sense, just the way I read it at first made me think that something was wrong--Blackjacks101 (talk) 20:37, 29 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • achievements in Mexican record industry < the Mexican record industry

That's all I currently see now. Great Work!--Blackjacks101 (talk) 16:40, 29 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I did my best. — Legolas (talk2me) 16:48, 29 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Support I think this article is FL ready! Great Work. And thanks for clarifying--Blackjacks101 (talk) 20:37, 29 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • Support Can't see any remaining issues, and I think it's now suitable for FL. Nice work. Miyagawa (talk) 12:51, 30 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose for now – Very surprised to find myself here because I had high expectations for this list. It's as comprehensive as any list I've seen, and the referencing is of good quality. However, there are too many prose glitches at this time for me to be comfortable seeing a promotion here.
  • "which achieved her global recognition." I'm not sure about this; how about "gave her global recognition."?
  • Very minor point, but in the lead photo caption, the "a" before MTV Video Music Award should be replaced with "an" (the one before the Grammy is fine as is).
  • "The Billboard Music Awards is sponsored by Billboard magazine...". "is" → "are"? Check the others awards too, because many of them appear to need similar edits.
  • Elle Style Awards: Should "the" be added before Style Icon Award in the prose?
  • Golden Apple Awards: Definitely add "the" before Sour Apple Award in the prose.
  • Golden Globe Awards: Remove "for" from "Madonna has been nominated for six times".
  • Japan Gold Disc Awards: "including five times Artist of the Year award". → "including the Artist of the Year award five times"?
  • MTV Awards: "Madonna has been honored for Artist of the Millennium in 2000." "for" → "as"?
  • MVPA Awards: Add "the" again, this time before Music Video Production Association.
  • NRJ Music Awards: Missing "was" in "Since the show created in 2000".
  • Pollstar Concert Industry Awards: Another "the" needed before "concert industry". Also remove "for" before "thirteen times".
  • Porin Awards: Should "The Polin is Croatian music award" be "The Polin Award is a Croatian music award"? Also, add another "the" right before the group names.
  • Recording Industry Association of America: "for selling more albums than any other female artist in rock category during the century." Add "the" before "rock category".
  • Rockbjornen: "one of the largest newspaper in Nordic countries." Make "newspaper" plural.
  • The Sun Bizarre Readers Awards: "The Sun Bizarre Readers Awards is a polling awards...". Lot of singular/plural confusion here. How about "The Sun Bizarre Readers Awards are polling awards..."?
  • TRL Awards: Add "a" before Lifetime Achievement Award in text?
  • VH1 Do Something! Awards: Remove apostrophe and s from VH1 in the first sentence.
  • VH1 Fashion Awards: Do the same here, and add one more "the" before "most fashionable".
  • Remove all caps from reference 4.

I'm certainly willing to re-evaluate things once these are looked at, and this is a list that will probably deserve a star when that happens. Giants2008 (27 and counting) 02:57, 1 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, a big thank you for the detailed review that you gave. I really wanted something like that. I have gone ahead and made all the corrections, as well as taking care to see that any other prose glitches are also eliminated—to the best of my abilities. Please take a look Giants. — Legolas (talk2me) 06:36, 1 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

One more, which I just noticed while checking everything I capped: TEC Awards doesn't seem to be in the proper alphabetical order. For some reasons it's in the awards starting with S, in the body and infobox listing. Giants2008 (27 and counting) 17:33, 1 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Good catch, I found another one NRJ Music Awards, re-arranged both of them. — Legolas (talk2me) 18:15, 1 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comments
  • Where is entrepreneur referenced?
  • Ok, a general comment, things like her date of birth, place of birth etc isn't referenced in the lead. I guess this is because you think it's fine because it's referenced in the main article. I'm not sure that's okay if this is supposed to be a standalone list. For instance "which gave her global recognition" is not referenced here.
  • "Golden Globe Award for Best Actress in a Musical or Comedy" why only the first half linked?
  • "one of her most critically acclaimed release," -> "releases" and prove it.
  • "the second top-selling female artist in the United States" ever?
  • "To date, Madonna ..." probably best to put a "As of July 2011" or similar here.
  • "American Moviegoers' Awards" with or without apostrophe?:C
  • " Madonna has won Best Actress award for her role in Evita (1996).[4]" no need (imo) for "has".
  • "for favorite shows, performers and moments " is this a quote? it sounds very chintzy. Can you reference it directly please.
  • "was the official industry award ceremony in Greece," for what? Referenced?
  • ASCAP - a general repetition of "annual" since you've said that in the higher level section.
  • "Year-End Charts. " are they capitalised for a good reason?
  • What's a Boxscore?
  • "Best International Female in 2001 and International Female Solo Artist in 2005.[17]" table says 2006.
  • No need to abbreviate ZPAV as you never use it subsequently.
  • "are presented annually since 1941" -> "have been presented..."
  • "usually in recognition not of performance but of behavior" needs a reword and a citation.
  • "Madonna has won the Sour Apple Award " remove has.
  • HFPA - see ZPAV note above.
  • Hungarian awards, same album nominated twice in consecutive years?
  • BASCA - see ZPAV above.
  • "are a major music award" who said "major"?
  • And I guess it should be "a music award ceremony held.."
  • "The Juno Awards is a major music ceremony.." again, major? etc.
  • LVFCS - see ZPAV.
  • "to give recognition to Asian and international icons in achievement, cinema, fashion, humanitarian, and music" (a) must be a quote ("icons" is not encyclopedic) and (b) "icons in ... humanitarian..."? Not grammatically correct.
  • " to celebrate both local and international acts" again, must be a quote from the award people. ref needed.
  • "Nominated artist and work" should that be "Nominated artist or work"?
  • Not sure EMA is ever used as an abbreviation.
  • " to celebrate the top music videos of the year." quote again.
  • "It was first held at the end of the summer of 1984, and originally as an alternative to the Grammy Award in the video category." is this cited?
  • "to honour " sudden switch of ENGVAR.
  • "Madonna was awarded by the magazine as the Artist of the Decade in 1989" -> "Madonna was given the Artist of the Decade award by the magazine in 1989"
  • "to acknowledge the efforts and creativity of musicians in the online world, and the creativity of music industry designers and programmers" sounds like a direct quote, so cite.
  • " is an awards show recognizing the people and the work of popular culture" ditto.
  • Revisit all those "major" award moments here.
  • "for outstanding achievements in the Mexican recording industry" another quote.
  • Museum doesn't need to be linked.
  • "one of the largest newspapers in Nordic countries" cite.
  • "annual program to honor technically innovative products as well as companies and individuals who have excelled in sound for television, film, recordings and concerts" quote so cite.
  • "honor every year athletes, music artists and actors that have portrayed a social issue during the past year" ditto, plus weak grammar.

Thank you for the comments RM, I have addressed each and every one of them. The MTV Asia Awards have been removed since it was sourced to Madonna's brother Christopher Ciccone's book, which I presumed will be COI as per RS. Nominations and Wins have been updated accordingly. As for the description of the awards, some of them were sourced by the winner/nomination pages at the end of the description, I have made them in-line. For the rest, new sources have been added. As for the grammar issues, I have done to the best of my abilities, wherever you find discrepancy, I'm open to any suggestion that you have. For the lead description of Madonna's bio, I have added some sources, while removing the bit about entrepreneur as that would open another can of worms. Its not exactly related to the award page also since she never received any award for it, and to bring it in context would have been difficult, hence removed. — Legolas (talk2me) 07:04, 7 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
