Talk:List of David Letterman awards

Thanks for creating this page
Thanks for creating this page. At least my efforts weren't erased. And thanks for your encouraging words.

 * One problem with this page (other than the overlap with existing material) is that it uses a whole lot of space to list essentially the same thing, that being the multiple nominations for writing awards. Instead of having separate table entires for each year's nomination, they should be combined as a footnote at the bottom of the table. Perhaps something like "In addition, Letterman was nominated for an Emmy Award for Outstanding Writing In A Variety, Music or Comedy Program yearly from 19xx to 19xx for Late Night, and yearly from 19xx to 20xx for Late Show. (Obviously, adjust this to reflect the actual years.) That would reduce the bulk of the table, remove a significant amount of unnecessary repetition, and (most importantly) make the table much more readable. --Ckatz chat spy  11:06, 11 January 2010 (UTC)

Table format
I don't believe most list articles are in table format, are they? Unit Anode  13:44, 11 January 2010 (UTC)

Perhaps you are right. If you would like to summarize the info and add it to David Letterman, please do. See this thread. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 14:34, 11 January 2010 (UTC)
 * I was thinking more of this article, as it is currently formated. I don't think most list articles use a table for their list. That said, I'm rather ambivalent as to the existence of this article, so I may not be the best person to advise on how to format it. Unit  Anode  14:43, 11 January 2010 (UTC)
