Talk:Grierson Awards

The introduction states "The awards have grown in stature and recognition over the years and now are "more important (than ever). They have an impressive list engaging with a broad palette of styles and subjects from disabled people looking for love to asylums, Russian billionaires and global warming." [2]" - the reference is one comment by one author, and is hardly an objective statement. In fact, it reads like it was written by a public relations intern. For an introduction, it is especially important not to 'slip in' opinionated garbage - it reflects badly, and encourages the view that Wikipedia cannot be trusted. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Heenan73 (talk • contribs) 13:58, 2 November 2011 (UTC)


 * If something reads like "PR" and "opinionated garbage", then who would be trusting it?
 * In a case like that, you simply tag the article, calling for a rewrite.

"Who is Grierson"
Grierson is so fundamental to documentary film, is it actually necessary to "prove" that Grierson is Grierson in a minor article such as this?

Those facts should be taken as a given. Varlaam (talk) 22:51, 1 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Can I just say Geo. Washington was the first US president, or do I need to cite an 18th century newspaper article? Varlaam (talk)
