I believe this list meets all FL criteria and closely resembles other Grammy-related lists with FL status. I realize there are currently four lists related to the Grammy Awards at FLC, but none of them were nominated by me! So far in 2011 I have submitted lists that I worked on in 2010 (I still have more ready for FLC), but the World Music list was completed this year so I am trying to earn a few points for the WikiCup competition with this nomination. Thanks, as always, to reviewers (and thanks to other contributors for assisting with the Grammy series)! --Another Believer (Talk) 22:24, 8 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - only major issue is that of the multiple flags. With two or more contributors having different nationalities, the flags are line-broken but the names aren't. Bit odd. The Rambling Man (talk) 18:52, 9 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Do you have a recommended solution? The column width is not set, so text wraps depending on the viewer's screen dimensions. For some people, both artist names may appear on a single line, for others on two lines (hypothetically, on three or more for small screens or similar lists with multiple performing artists). The only solution I can think of is to insert line breaks to command the text to wrap ("Vishwa Mohan Bhatt<br>Ry Cooder", or something similar which includes "and"). For the sake of consensus, I have no problem with the current format, but I am happy to address your concern if you and others feel a change is necessary. --Another Believer (Talk) 19:02, 9 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
It's just I saw this question on another FLC so it seems only reasonable to be consistent and bring it up here! Well then, the solution you suggest is indeed the only visual solution I can think of while still maintaing sortability. Although, having said that, I've heard (on the ACCESS grapevine) that the linebreak thing is purely visual and doesn't help screenreaders. I wonder if there's a good solution for everyone? The Rambling Man (talk) 19:04, 9 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I didn't intend on using the sortname template for group names (only first and last names). Sortname forces the column to sort by last name, but there is no last name here to sort. --Another Believer (Talk) 16:46, 10 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Whenever things a sorted alphabetically word such as 'a' and 'the' are disregarded. Thus, please use the template. Adabow (talk · contribs) 08:54, 23 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Added sort command for The Chieftains. --Another Believer (Talk) 16:27, 23 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment- Man, I hate to bring this up again in another FLC. I have to agree that without the flags, it didn't look that great-- but I'm still a bit worried that the flags might violate WP:ACCESS per TRM's concerns, and that they overshadow the artist in the list. Instead of looking at it as Ry Cooder's award, I might look at it as an American's, which might not be a truly accurate representation of him as an artist. For example, on a film list, would we put Bruce Willis's name down with a German flag next to it because he was born in Germany? I'm really not sure how to resolve this issue though, I really do think the flags look rather nice, but I don't want to give the wrong impression to readers. Nomader (Talk) 22:25, 10 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for your comments, Nomader. I'm not sure what to make of the Bruce Willis example--one would display an American flag to represent Bruce Willis because he is American, not a German flag just because he was born overseas. Honestly, I don't know how to respond. I don't have a problem with the flags, and consensus here appeared to show a preference for the flags. You are certainly welcome to express concerns, but I am not really sure of a solution (if there is one). Perhaps other/different reviewers will comment on this FLC. --Another Believer (Talk) 23:28, 10 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Yep, that's what I hope too. I'm not going to oppose because of it, these Grammy lists are actually really well done from what I've seen and I actually feel that the flags are aesthetically pleasing even if they end up not being appropriate. Either way, I've looked through the list and I see no other issues. After the whole flag issue is discussed a bit more (or not) by other editors, I'll be more then prepared to support. Fantastic list, Another Believer. Nomader (Talk) 08:47, 11 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment The capitalization of non-English album articles should be address. Per WP:ALBUMCAPS, if an album or song article is not in English, then the rules of capital letters for that language applies. Use this for any language you need to know about. Magiciandude (talk) 05:56, 12 February 2011 (UTC) I recant my above statement since this needs to be addressed on the talk page for the consensus.

I fundamentally disagree with this Wikiproject "recommendation". Please use over-riding English Wikipedia guidelines and policies, this isn't Spanish Wikipedia. For those who wish to discuss this further, I've opened a talk here. The Rambling Man (talk) 17:20, 13 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Done. Actually, I linked "Web 2.0 Conference" to "Web 2.0 Summit" (its new name). Thanks! --Another Believer (Talk) 16:07, 18 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
OK then I see no more issues. Support from me.-- ♫Greatorangepumpkin♫ T 17:52, 18 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
