Nominator(s): PresN 20:23, 17 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Having finished Novels, Novellas, Novelettes, Short Stories, and Related Works, our Hugo Award journey continues on to one of the original categories, Best Professional Magazine. This is the first category brought to FLC that no longer exists, having been replaced in 1973 with an award specifically for editors. As always, comments from previous FLCs have been addressed here as well. --PresN 20:23, 17 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

*Comments
"Worldcons are generally held near Labor Day, " This is a little too US-centric for my tastes.
Someone will come along and nit-pick the fourth paragraph for MOS:NUM issues. Not my strong point, so I won't try, but I think you have a couple problems.
"Note that Astounding Science-Fiction and Analog Science Fact & Fiction are the same magazine;" Pedantic since I know you're right, but... citation for this?
Location and/or publisher for ref 2.

Labor day->start of September; replicated back across the other articles as well.
Cleaned up to just use words rather than figures; there's no way to make numbers >10 be figures without violating the "same style within a single sentence" rule.
Done.
Done.

Comments
  • "Beginning in 1973, the award was retired " better to say "annually through 1972 when it was retired..."
  • "supporting or attending members of the annual World Science Fiction Convention, or Worldcon, "
    • Is this an exclusive "or"?
    • To avoid repeating "or", perhaps just (Worldcon) after "World Science Fiction Convention".
  • One Infinity has (American magazine) after it, one doesn't.
  • In fact, there are a few of these. Surely this needs repeating because the table is sortable, just like why you relink everything every time.

  • Fixed.
  • No, non-exclusive, fixed.
  • As stated in the lead, "For the 1957 awards, the category was split into American and British magazine categories, a distinction which was not repeated any other year." The (American magazine) or (British magazine) is only after the nominees/winners of the 1957 awards, and is not repeated for magazines which were also nominated some other year.

  • But it has nothing to do with being the first one. (American magazine) refers to the award, not the magazine. I'll move the postscript to the year column to clarify and make a note of it above the table; I think that will make it more clear. --PresN 16:35, 26 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
