Nominating List of Powderfinger awards as article factually accurate, contains well presented and documented information and is well written and referenced. —Preceding unsigned comment added by lincalinca (talk • contribs)

• Support. --linca^linca 08:24, 21 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Support - I've worked extensively on this list, as have Lincalinca and Spebi, and I believe it meets criteria. I'd be happy to make any requested changes. Dihydrogen Monoxide (H₂O) (Drought) 02:33, 22 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Support, I too believe that the article meets all of the criteria. Sebi _[talk] 05:18, 22 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Weak Oppose Everything looks good except the lead. It doesn't summarize the list/article at all, just gives a quick historical account. In fact, the only instance of the word "award" in the lead is in "This is a comprehensive listing of awards." If you can address that I'd be happy to give my support.

  I merged the History section into the lead. How does it look now? Sebi _[talk] 22:05, 22 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  You read my mind! That's exactly what I was thinking. Other than that, there's a few minor prose/copyedit issues I see, mostly because of awkward wording.

  • I would sugest changing "The group has also topped the Triple J Hottest 100 chart twice with nineteen entries in the list in total." to "The group has also topped the Triple J Hottest 100 chart twice with a total of nineteen entries." (more succinct, reads better)
  • Also "Furthermore, the group has received three..." to "The group has also received three..." (Furthermore is an argumentative word, so it should be avoided)
  • You should spell out any acronyms (such as ARIA) at least once.
  • And "In Australia, Powderfinger has won fifteen ARIA Awards from twenty-three nominations" to "Powderfinger has won fifteen ARIA Awards from twenty-three nominations." (It's redundant to say "in Australia" since it's an Australian award.)

  Again, if you can take care of those I'd be happy to give my support. (you didn't think you'd get off that easy did you? =) ) Drewcifer 22:19, 22 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

   Done. Any other obvious problems? Sebi _[talk] 00:57, 23 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  All issues have been addressed - I went and spelt out ARIA the first time it's mentioned too, and everything else looks OK. Dihydrogen Monoxide (H₂O) 01:05, 23 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

• Support Looks good to me! All my suggestions have been implemented. Good work. Drewcifer 01:08, 23 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  Previous weak oppose was struck here. Dihydrogen Monoxide (H₂O) 01:16, 23 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

• Conditional support - add a graphic to the article and I will support it. It will look better with an image of some sort; apart from that it's great. JRG 04:09, 29 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

•  Done, though it's the same image as used in he other pf articles, but for now, it's the best we have (I'll try and squeeze some off at the ARIAs in a few weeks, since that'll be altogether appropriate for this page, but that's a few weeks off). --linca^linca 04:16, 29 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

• Conditional support Fanning's solo awards are irrelevant to this list. Circeus 06:21, 29 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  Comment The article/list doesn't list all of his solo achievements and makes mention of them in passing. Anyway, to garner your full support, I've removed them, as I can see your point. I'll make a note to see his listing of awards on his own article. --linca^linca 07:16, 29 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

   Done. linca^linca 07:38, 29 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  Removed it from the infobox too... Dihydrogen Monoxide (H₂O) 02:02, 30 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  You've missed a heap H20. In the "Other awards" section there was some information about Bernard's career and awards, so Linca removed it and added the disclaimer. Circeus didn't make that comment because of the disclaimer in the infobox. ~ Sebi _[talk] 02:06, 30 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  I know, I just removed the remaining information that Linca missed/ignored, and that shouldn't be in the article :) Dihydrogen Monoxide (H₂O) 02:17, 30 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
