Resolved comments from SRX
Comments - excellent list, just a few problems
- Morissette has won and has been nominated for numerous awards. - the repetition of has puzzles me, I think IMO one has shall suffice
- Done
- Overall, Alanis Morissette has received 45 nominations, winning 22. - it should be the other way, Overall, Alanis Morissette has won 22 awards from 45 nominations. (per consistency of other FLs)
- Done
- The second paragraph should summarize more of her awards, elaborating a bit more about the awards she won and has been nominated for.
- Done
- Just seeing the way the website is set up, Metro Lyrics is not reliable due to it being a forum/blog type website.
- Done
- Since you use ref#5 to source most of her awards, it would be best if you made it into a general ref, as seen in 2008 WWE Draft#References.--SRX 16:06, 1 January 2009 (UTC)

- The first part of the lead should explain more about her work, like how did they rank on charts and what singles were spawned, see List of awards and nominations received by Chris Brown--SRX 00:40, 2 January 2009 (UTC)
- Comment I added the fact that Jagged Little Pill, Supposed Former Infatuation Junkie, and Under Rug Swept all debuted at number one on the Billboard 200, and were among the top five on the Canadian Top 50 Album Chart. I also added a reference to the statement. Does that count? Or are you looking for more? WereWolf (talk) 03:36, 2 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Comments from Dabomb87 (talk · contribs) Nice job, just a few comments:
- "Jagged Little Pill, Supposed Former Infatuation Junkie, and Under Rug Swept
all"
- Done
- "Morissette has won and been nominated for numerous awards. They include seven Grammy Awards and ten Juno Awards." Can we combine this into one sentence? It is not clear whether the "seven Grammy Awards and ten Juno Awards" were won or just awards that she was nominated for.
- This is what I wrote: "Morissette has won and been nominated for numerous awards. Her awards include seven Grammy Awards and ten Juno Awards." Does that work?
- Two suggestions: ""Morissette has won and been nominated for numerous awards; she has won seven Grammys and ten Juno Awards."" or ""Morissette has won and been nominated for numerous awards, including seven Grammy Awards and ten Juno Awards." Take your pick. Suggestion two is a bit more smooth, while suggestion one makes it more clear that she won those awards. Dabomb87 (talk) 18:42, 3 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Done
- "Alanis Morissette has received two nominations."-->Alanis Morissette has has been nominated twice. Dabomb87 (talk) 17:59, 3 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- See List of awards and nominations received by Katy Perry. I was using the format of that featured list. WereWolf (talk) 18:32, 3 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

- What makes http://www.mariah-charts.com/chartdata/PAlanisMorissette.htm a reliable source?
- That source is used on her discography for her Canadian album data.
- That doesn't make it reliable. That just means that no one checked the sources thoroughly enough at that FLC. To determine the reliablity of the site, we need to know what sort of fact checking they do. You can establish this by showing news articles that say the site is reliable/noteworthy/etc. or you can show a page on the site that gives their rules for submissions/etc. or you can show they are backed by a media company/university/institute, or you can show that the website gives its sources and methods, or there are some other ways that would work too. It's their reputation for reliabilty that needs to be demonstrated. Please see Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost/2008-06-26/Dispatches for further detailed information.

- In ref 2, Rolling Stone is a magazine, which means that it should be italicized. Make the citation code like this:
work=Rolling Stone
