  • "Muse have also received five awards" is also necessary think it should be removed
  • The year's in the table should be centrally aligned
  • Maybe add a comma before the third reference, remember reading that references should be ideally placed after punctuation

Other than these issues, the list is very good, well done NapHit (talk) 18:19, 20 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I don't agree with removing the "also" as the first sentence talks about one award; the second sentence talks about another award, so they are linked with the "also". I have changed "Muse" to "the band" though to avoid repetition. I've center-aligned the years. Also, references don't always have to be after punctuation; they must only be after punctuation if there is punctuation, meaning they should never directly precede punctuation marks.

Support Great work NapHit (talk) 19:09, 20 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! The first time I did the alignment it was wonky; it should be good now though. Gary King (talk) 20:21, 20 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Weak oppose - the lead and Cr 3...

  • Similar to Metallica - the lead is discog-heavy - focus on the awards, particularly since they've won so many in such a short space of time.
  • Cr 3 once more - inclusion criteria? BT Digital music awards not notable for their own article etc etc etc - you know it already...
  • Expand BT to BT Group Plc per the article title.
  • "celebrate the most popular music videos" - peacock.
  • Ref 1 - which particular The Star is it?
  • Ref 12 - we don't normally link blogs.
  • Ref 22 - title seems a little odd.

All done Gary King (talk) 18:25, 24 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • "recognized" - ised... BritEng for Brit Group please!
  • Ref 20 and Ref 21 are both Q mag right? But they have different publisher/work combos...

  • Sources don't appear to really verify the stuff that it is supposed to be verifying. For example, sources #20 and #21 support Muse winning best live act in 2006, and 2007, but none of the other Q nominations or awards. naerii 22:15, 28 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Sources #18 and #19 only verify the 2008 NME awards and nominations, and none of the other NME stuff. The title for #18 is misleading as it links to the 2008 rewards and Muse didn't win Best British band in 2008. I think this article has issues from when I gutted it of the unreliable musewiki sources that appear to not have been replaced. Source #17 only verifies the 2007 mtvU awards, not the 2005. The same with #16; it only verifies the 2007 MTV Europe awards, and no others. I don't know if this is considered a big deal, but I feel like if we're sourcing the awards at all, it should be done properly. I'm kind of surprised people above are supporting without checking the sources properly ("sources look okay"?); I guess it means that it's an insignificant issue? I would go through the rest but I'm tired right now and I don't know if this is even worth pointing out. naerii 22:18, 28 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Hey Naerii, please have another look now :) Gary King (talk) 01:35, 29 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comments I know I am co-promoter of this, but I need to point a couple things out which I cannot find.

  • Lack of references
    • "Best British Newcomer" nomination at the 2001 BRITs;
    • "Best British Band" nominations at the 2003 Kerrang!s;
    • "Best Live Act" win at the 2006 Kerrang!s; and
    • "Best Act in the World Today" nomination at the 2008 Qs.

That is all :) Andre666 (talk) 17:29, 29 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for catching those; I added references for 2001 BRIT Awards and 2003 Kerrang! Awards; the rest already have references. Some of the references cover more than one award (for instance, one says something along the lines of "Muse, who won X award last year"). Gary King (talk) 18:01, 29 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Ah, that's cool, nice one! You can do one of those resolved comments collapsed tables if you like. Andre666 (talk) 18:15, 29 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
