      • Feist has found success at awards shows in her native Canada, receiving nine awards from eleven nominations at the Juno Awards. She received five awards from five nominations at the Juno Awards in 2008, including Single of the Year for "1234", Album of the Year for The Reminder, and Artist of the Year. - since these are related the second one would benefit by reading like "There, she received five nominations in 2008, including....etc." or something along those lines because Juno Awards is getting repetitive.--SRX 02:49, 14 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah good point; done. I (almost) never have a nomination statement :) Gary King (talk) 03:07, 14 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Hmm, this is borderline on title really - 9 juno awards only, all other noms failed... perhaps this should be time to consider "nominations and awards" otherwise you should rename it List of Feist Juno awards as the failed noms don't really match the title?
  • " Bobby Dazzler" - worth clarifying if this is a record label or an individual.
  • "...Juno Awards. There, she received..." - not keen on starting with "There..." with respect to the awards...
  • "She has also received four nominations from the Grammy Awards, including Best Pop Vocal Album for The Reminder and Best New Artist in 2008, but has yet to win a Grammy Award." - ok so you probably want to refocus the sentence on the Grammys but repeating "Grammy Award" in this sentence reads awkwardly.
  • Juno Single of the year is overlinked.
  • Can you clarify how dose.ca is WP:RS please?

Yeah, borderline title I suppose but it's still accurate. "Awards" is a superset of "Juno Awards" so it should be okay, I think. I figured Dose might get questioned; anyways, it's a Canadian music magazine; Dose (magazine). Gary King (talk) 18:52, 14 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Would you object to moving it "..nominations and awards"? The Rambling Man (talk) 19:12, 14 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Third bullet: Cr. 6.

  • We're told she's Canadian at the opening. Why then "in her native Canada"?
  • "Also" is getting a work-out here. The second one could go.
  • I find the fragmented structure hard to take. Can't all be conflated into the one table, since there's a column for the award. The single-sentence lead for each mini-table would be better in the opening lead. Tony (talk) 08:23, 16 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
All done. I removed the second "also". This list format is like the other awards lists that have been promoted before, so I think a larger discussion is needed before I will change it. Gary King (talk) 17:41, 16 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Support Comments *About the Grammy Awards. She was nominated for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance with 1,2,3,4 not as Feist.

  • On the first paragraph (lead section) this sentence is "All four albums were released with the Arts & Crafts record label" is used twice very close to each other, a rewrite should work there.
  • For the rest of the list, very good job, Jaespinoza (talk) 20:34, 16 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
All done Gary King (talk) 21:12, 16 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comments - sources look okay, links checked out with the link checker tool. Ealdgyth - Talk 13:31, 18 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comments - currently I would oppose on not being comprehensive.

All done. I've added Shortlist, but not the MVPA and Indies (which I had before) because they aren't notable enough to have their own article, so I chose not to include them. I was wondering whether to include Broken Social Scene awards or not; you're right, so I have removed them. Reference 9 has a publisher but it's italicized because it's a magazine.

  • Comment - The title should be "List of awards won by Feist"; "List of Feist awards and nominations", to me, sounds like it's awards given out by Feist. However, this does present my minor, nascent crusade with an interesting question - should it be "List of awards and nominations awarded to Feist" or something like that? Sigh. --Golbez (talk) 00:43, 24 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Eek. We have both. [4] - actually, we have "List of <Group or Person> awards" and we have "List of awards and nominations received by <Group or Person>". Personally, the latter makes more sense, but that's just my opinion. -- SatyrTN (talk / contribs) 04:05, 25 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • "Feist is a Juno Award-winning Canadian singer-songwriter from Amherst, Nova Scotia." What makes the Juno Award more important than any other she has won?
  • "Feist has received 8 awards from 18 nominations." MOS:NUM on numbers under 10
  • Could you rename it in line with other award and nomination lists?

Juno is a Canadian award, and she is Canadian. Plus, it's either that or the Shortlist Music Prize, which I wouldn't consider as popular. The rest are done. Gary King (talk) 14:21, 26 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
