List of awards and nominations received by Madonna[edit]

This peer review discussion has been closed.

I've listed this article for peer review because me and my friend User:Bluesatellite have worked hard on developing this all encompassing article about the awards received by one of the most iconic figures in popular music, Madonna. I would like to have some advice on what could be bettered about the article, the lead etc.

Thanks, — Legolas (talk2me) 05:59, 5 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]


Hello there! I've just read the article and I must say I'm impressed! There's a lot of dedication here! Some rather small things that I found that require tweaks are:

"She has won twenty VMAs from a total of 68 nominations, more than any other artist ever. She is also the first female artist to receive the lifetime achievement Video Vanguard Award."

To avoid repetition, might I suggest you replace the second "She" with Madonna

"Billboard listed her as the "Top Pop Artist" for 1985, as well as the "Top Pop Singles Artist" for the next two years."

I think it would be better to specify that Billboard is a publication (ex: Billboard magazine). I also suggest this because in the awards second you wrote "[award] is sponsored by Billboard magazine" several times
  • In all the references, the titles are not suppose to have any words in all capitals.
  • Reference 7's publisher needs to be unlinked.
  • Reference 102 needs to be unlinked (already linked in 61)
  • Reference 103 needs to be unlinked (already linked in 59)
  • Reference 127 needs to be unlinked
  • In reference 9, the work and publisher should be linked (Billboard and Neilsen)

Adabow (talk · contribs) Nice work, just a couple of reference suggestions:

  • Try to find alternative sources for the book by Ciccone, as it seems a bit COI
    • Finding....
  • What makes Allbusiness.com reliable? Can you replace the references with the original Billboard articles?
    • AllBusiness.com is fine, they are a repository for business related news and sometimes when links from main websites goes kaput! AllBusiness.com have them present. — Legolas (talk2me) 08:34, 8 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

A very good work but you forgot the Golden Raspberry Award, Madonna won nine times. --79.18.84.238 (talk) 10:31, 11 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, but the Razzies are not an industry officiated awards, hence never added to any person award list. — Legolas (talk2me) 11:07, 11 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
