  • Perhaps a touch radical but since you have almost a complete set of images, how about embedding them in the table rather than the (rather nasty, in my opinion) gallery? I did similar for the Crafoord Prize.
  • Added images to table.
  • Consider using the Award infobox.
  • Added.
  • "to recording artist " - to a recording artist? Plus, do you really mean this? Are the Bee Gees an "artist"?
  • Changed to "recording artists".
  • "were issued in 1990, to recipients Andrew Lloyd Webber" - why not just "were awarded in 1990, to Andrew..."?
  • Done.
  • "inuagrated" - typo.
  • Fixed.
  • "The next year, in 1992," perhaps I missed something but the next year would be 1991...
  • Correct. Fixed.
  • "prestigious award" who says it's prestigious?
  • Dropped "prestigious".
  • Your lead says awards were made in 1995 but the table doesn't.
  • Changed to 1994, and tweaked the sentence in reference to the award being issued intermittently.
  • 15 musicians? I'd say 14 solo musicians and one band...
  • Changed to "14 solo musicians and one band have received the Grammy Legend Award".

  • I don't think "awarded by the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences" should be in "Awarded for" in the infobox.
  • Done.
  • The first two sentences begin and end with "the Grammy Awards"; see if you can reword them.
  • Reworded.
  • The third sentence should clarify that it's talking about the normal Grammies, not the Legend Award.
  • Clarified.
  • "in the 21st century, when the brothers" the comma isn't needed.
  • Done.
  • Is there any info on how the recipients are selected?
  • In Joel's alt text: "upper body show of a" is "show" a typo?
  • Fixed.
  • Can you think of anything else to add to the table? Maybe a genre/simple description?
  • For some of the artists listed, genres can be hard to place and become the subject of "genre trolls". I can't think of any other appropriate things to add to the table.
  • In reference 6, America's Intelligence Wire should be a work, not a publisher
  • Done.
  • Because most of the information presented should be well-covered, I think more freely-accessible sources can be used; not a requisite, just a suggestion.
  • Added free and reliable sources where I could find them; a lot of the sources available give the wrong date for artists receiving the award.
  • The 2001 People Entertainment Almanac needs attention with regards to formatting. Who's the author? People is in the template but does not show up.
  • Fixed the template. People is the author.

Overall, the article seems a bit thin, but I assume there's nothing else that can be added. Mm40 (talk) 03:30, 31 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

  • Support Although a free replacement for reference #9 would be nice. Also, any critical response to the award of any kind? For example, the list is pretty heavily US/UK-centric and, more generally, Western. I'd say Khaled is as much a Legend as Streisand is, eg. And I'm hardly a music critic.
