This list is based on similar Grammy lists. As such, it meets FLC criteria. I removed the nationality column from the list so the nominees column could be in normal text. Most if not all of the winners would be American, so little would be gained from a nationality column, and besides, it wouldn't be referenced. I made the table width 100% because the table becomes very skinny on my viewing platform when it's aligned with the photos. Albacore (talk) 20:20, 29 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • Quick comment - Using Firefox on my PC, there's a huge formatting error concerning the pictures and the table. (You first see all the pictures in a vertical row, then the table). Not sure if it's doing that for anyone else. Ruby 2010/2013 22:28, 29 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Should be good now. Albacore (talk) 02:35, 30 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • Also using Firefox, I too also see the "huge formatting error", that certainly needs addressed, by making the table width smaller
Fixed.
  • Avoid bold links per WP:CONTEXTLINK. To do this in tables, add plainrowheaders to the coding
Added.
  • Don't use ; semi-colon, as it is a WP:ACCESS concern. I would suggest using an actual sub-section header, or the for a different bold type, but the first one is preferable
Fixed.

*Infobox : awarded for "quality gospel music albums" what about southern, country, bluegrass here?
Added links to each. Since each is a different style of gospel music the phrase "quality gospel music albums" in the lead is still true, without having to go into the lengthy detail, which is included in the infobox. Albacore (talk) 19:27, 30 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • In images where just one person or one major item is shown, I really don't think you need to add (pictured) to the caption.
Removed.
  • " ... to "tighten the number of categories" at ..." attribution of quotes suggests not only should you ref that, but you should say who said it.
Fixed.
  • "the most of any preformer." typo.
Fixed.
  • Same caption claims he's won the award six times but the lead says four, twice on on his own, twice with his wife.
Four times, fixed.
  • Did you say somewhere in the lead that the award could be presented to producers and engineers?
Mentioned.

  • A lot of redlinked recipients, fear too many for this list to be useful for navigation to the winners.
I've moved the personnel to their own column. Are the redlinks OK now, or should I de-link them? Albacore (talk) 19:27, 30 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Not sure you needed to move them, but they should be redlinked if you think they meet the notability guidelines of Wikipedia such that they could have their own article. The Rambling Man (talk) 08:56, 5 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I've gone through and de-linked the non-notable personnel. Albacore (talk) 18:40, 6 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • Three years later, the category's name was changed to the Best Southern Gospel, Country Gospel or Bluegrass Gospel Album, a name it held until 1998 when it became the Best Southern, Country or Bluegrass Gospel Album. Forgive my picky-ness, please, but I have issues with the grammar of this sentence. It's unclear what "...a name it held" refers to. How about: "Three years later, the category's name was changed to the Best Southern Gospel, Country Gospel or Bluegrass Gospel Album. The category's name was changed to Best Southern, Country or Bluegrass Gospel Album in 1998".
  • The next sentence is also unclear; I recommend editing it and breaking it up into more than one sentence as well. How about: "After 2011, the category merged with the Grammy Award for Best Rock Gospel Album and the Grammy Award for Best Pop/Contemporary Gospel Album, forming the Grammy Award for Best Contemporary Christian Music Album. The NARAS made this change in order to "tighten the number of categories" at the Grammy Awards".
  • I suggest the improvements for the third paragraph below.
  • Remember not to refer to people by their first names in this encyclopedia. I think it's obvious that you're referring to Bill Gaither and not to Gloria.
  • I suggest changing the number of Travis' and the Light Crust Doughboys' awards because you shouldn't ask your readers to do math while reading a list. ;)
  • When you say "non-artist", what does that mean? The engineer? Please explain.
"Bill Gaither holds the record for winning the most awards in this category, with a total of four: two from his work in the Gaither Vocal Band, and another two as a duet with his wife Gloria. Randy Travis has won one less Grammy than Gaither in this category, with three. Gaither has the most nominations, with eleven; the Light Crust Doughboys trail him with eight nominations. Kyle Lehning holds the record for most wins as a non-artist, with a total of three. Nominated bands include Karen Peck and New River, who were selected in three of the final four years of the Grammy, and the Cathedral Quartet."

Fix the above picky details and I'll support. Christine (Figureskatingfan) (talk) 19:40, 15 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • "After 2011 it merged" shouldn't it be "it was merged"?
  • "Bill Gaither holds the record for having the most wins in this category" -> Bill Gaither has the most wins in the category
