Taking a break from the team records articles, those are becoming tedious. Only real issue I can see with this list is that not all the year references offer producers/personnel for the nominees. Thoughts on this would be nice. Other nominee has "significant" (two) supports and no outstanding comments. Albacore (talk) 00:34, 25 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comments:
  • Since the winners were obviously nominees I think it would be better to rename the "Nominees" column as "Other nominees". Also you might consider making the font-size normal in this column.
Making the font normal size would increase the size of the column, in relation to the table as a whole, very much and would make the column not proportional. Other Grammy FLs have the "Nominees" section as such. Albacore (talk) 20:51, 1 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Having pictures of some of the winners is fine but with them presented vertically on the right side of the page the table tends to look a bit squeezed. Perhaps you could place the pictures above or even within the table.
On my viewing system the photos are above the table, and on Firefox on a Mac the images are to the right of the table. IMO the images don't make the table look squeezed, and this image style (thumb upright) is used in Grammy awards that are already FLs. Albacore (talk) 20:51, 1 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • The sorting is not set up correctly. The names of the recipents should sort by their last names. Likewise, titles that begin with "A", "An", or "The" should sort by the following word in the title. See: Template:Sortname and Template:Sort.
Now sorts properly
  • "Michael York" links to a disambiguation page. Is it supposed to link to the actor named Michael York?
Fixed.
  • "Audio engineers" and "audio mixers" redirect. These need to be fixed. Check all the other links, too.— Jimknut (talk)16:58, 1 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Fixed, thanks for the review. Albacore (talk) 20:51, 1 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Support Page looks good. Jimknut (talk) 20:03, 5 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comments
  • Would be good to add into Clinton's caption that he co-won it with Gorbs.
Already said this in the lead. Repeating would be overkill IMO. Albacore (talk) 20:38, 24 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • The NYT is linked differently in ref 14 and ref 18.
Fixed.
  • "The Cricket In Times Square" -> "The Cricket in Times Square"
Fixed.

Support with one caveat: It seems odd to have the images end so soon. Are there any other images you could add so that they can be seen while reading the whole list? Ruby comment! 18:44, 28 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Added another image. On my viewing platform the photos are above the table, so I hope this addresses the concern. Albacore (talk) 22:52, 28 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: I'd recommend alphabetizing the Nominees column by artist's last name. For example , the order for 1994 would be Cleese, Grover, Sesame, Various artists, etc. In the Performing artist(s) column, I do not believe the sort name template is necessary for all names where multiple occur (the template is only needed for the first name; others can follow without using the template). For example, for 2000 only Greene would need the sortname template. Other reviewers, feel free to correct me this I am wrong. I made a few edits to the list, mostly to make it consistent with other Grammy-related FLs. --Another Believer (Talk) 04:57, 10 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The "Nominees" column is sorted by the title of the work. Does it matter which way it's sorted (i.e what's the benefit from sorting the column by the performer's last lame)? As for the sort names, leaving them there, to my knowledge, doesn't hurt the sortability of the table. Albacore (talk) 23:50, 11 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
OK. I suppose just for the sake of consistency, as all other (to the best of my knowledge) Grammy-related FLs are sorted by artist name in the Nominees column. As for the name sorting, it seems to me having a sort template is unnecessary if it is nonfunctional. --Another Believer (Talk) 04:12, 12 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Ordered the nominees by last name. Albacore (talk) 14:12, 12 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I removed the unnecessary sortname templates and support this promotion of this list, assuming all other reviewers' concerns are addressed. --Another Believer (Talk) 22:33, 12 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
