Isabelle Stevenson Award

 * Nominator(s): MWright96 (talk) 06:01, 26 February 2020 (UTC)

Here's something different from yours truly, the Isabelle Stevenson Award. This is a non-competitive philanthropic award that has been presented at the Tony Awards every year since 2009 in honor of the charitable work of an individual from the theater community. Am hoping this list is worthy of the bronze star. MWright96 (talk) 06:01, 26 February 2020 (UTC)

Comments from Dank
 * Standard disclaimer: I don't know what I'm doing. I might or might not claim 5 points in the Wikicup for this review.
 * "who had or were in a crisis or in transition as a member ...": Having trouble parsing that, and it doesn't seem to be in the cited source.
 * You're sorting David Hyde Pierce under H and Brian Stokes Mitchell under S.
 * I did a little copyediting. As always, feel free to revert.
 * "and is not necessarily presented at every ceremony": I'd chop this bit. It's a little confusing, since you later say that it has been awarded every year since its inception. Sure, we can't know what the future holds, but I don't think it adds much to say that. If it's been awarded but not presented in some years, some clarity or details would help.
 * FLC criteria:
 * You make excellent use of images (but this isn't an image review).
 * 2. The lead meets WP:LEAD and defines the inclusion criteria.
 * 3a. The list has comprehensive items and annotations.
 * 3b. The article is well-sourced to reliable sources (but this isn't a source review). All retrieval dates are present.
 * 3c. The list meets requirements as a stand-alone list, it is not a content fork, it doesn't largely duplicate another article (that I can find), and it wouldn't fit easily inside another article.
 * 4. It is navigable.
 * 5. It meets style requirements.
 * 6. It is stable.
 * Support, since this is close enough to the finish line. Well done. - Dank (push to talk) 20:59, 29 February 2020 (UTC)

Support from KJP1
It certainly appears to me to meet the FL criteria and pleased to Support. A few comments/observations but nothing to stand in the way of that. KJP1 (talk) 09:39, 12 March 2020 (UTC)
 * Lead
 * Isabelle Stevenson - it seems a real pity that the eponymous heroine is a redlink. Is there not enough for a stub?
 * There are articles from perennial reliable sources that would allow Stevenson to have an article on this site. MWright96 (talk) 12:44, 12 March 2020 (UTC)
 * "is not necessarily presented at every ceremony" - this puzzled me slightly. I appreciate it is what the sources say, and presumably the award's 'constitution' stipulates that it doesn't have to be given out every year, but it has been in each and every year since its inception.
 * Have reworded. MWright96 (talk) 12:44, 12 March 2020 (UTC)
 * "disk-shaped" - does this just mean "circular"?
 * Yes. Have clarified this. MWright96 (talk) 12:44, 12 March 2020 (UTC)
 * "designed by art director Herman Rosse" - given that Rosse died in 1965 and the first award was made in 2009, I'm puzzled as to how he designed it. Is it just a copy of the Tony? Or is this sentence actually referring to the Tony, and not the Isabelle Stevenson award? Can it be clarified?
 * Have clarified. MWright96 (talk) 12:44, 12 March 2020 (UTC)
 * … in 2009. Actress Phyllis Newman was chosen as its inaugural recipient that same year... - given the "2009" in the preceding sentence, I'd probably remove the, slightly clumsy, "that same year".
 * Done MWright96 (talk) 12:44, 12 March 2020 (UTC)
 * "The Phyllis Newman Women's Health Initiative" - does the "The" need capitalisation?
 * No MWright96 (talk) 12:44, 12 March 2020 (UTC)
 * Notes
 * General - Some of the notes end with full stops and some don't. For example, the first does, but if you removed "Newman", it wouldn't need to do so. I wonder if these should be consistent?
 * Have made changes to the wording for consistency. MWright96 (talk) 12:44, 12 March 2020 (UTC)
 * Brian Stokes Mitchell - "were in a crisis or in transition" - what does "in transition" mean? Between jobs? Gender reassignment? I just don't know.
 * Clarified. MWright96 (talk) 12:44, 12 March 2020 (UTC)
 * Nick Scandalios - unknown to me, I couldn't see what his role in the theatre community is? Only if you know that, or click through to the Nederlander Organization, does it become clear. Perhaps, "Scandalios, executive vice-president of the Nederlander Organization, one of the largest theatre operators in the US, volunteers with..."?
 * Done. MWright96 (talk) 12:44, 12 March 2020 (UTC)
