List of Bloc Party awards

[edit]

I believe this is a suitable candidate. Thanks, WilliamH (talk) 17:51, 27 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comments

  • "made NME's Album" – italics for the magazine
 Done
  • Link the albums, singles, band, etc. in the awards tables. Only link the first mention of each term.
 Done
  • "Bloc Party - A Weekend in the City" – shouldn't this be only "Bloc Party" if it's for "Music Artist"? Also, if not, then the dash should at least be an en dash (–)
 Done en dash added. It might look a little abstract at face value..but that's what the GLAAD award ultimately is and naturally I can't alter that. Thanks for your response. WilliamH (talk) 20:03, 27 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    • "This is a list of awards..." bleugh. I'd be much happier saying "Bloc Party are a ..." and then "The band have been nominated for, and won,... " - don't get obsessed with bold lead stuff.
 Done
    • "met each other by chance a year later " met each other again?
 Not done That would implicitly suggest they met each other deliberately following on from the first time they met. "by chance a year later" disambiguates that.
    • "got their break" - too informal.
 Done replaced the idiom with a noun ---> "received their breakthrough"
    • The article should be in Brit Eng so "labelling" should be used. "recognize and honor " should be "recognise and honour".
 Done
    • "The buzz generated off the back of the single" too informal again.
 Done buzz ---> interest
    • "a ceremony whose scale stunned the band." - can you quantify this "scale" please - what made it such a big deal?
 Done Elaborated: the gig's turnout and volume. WilliamH (talk) 19:14, 29 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Perhaps not - all I would argue is that it's merely a very succint comment on the band's current status quo. WilliamH (talk) 21:30, 5 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
