Latin Grammy Award for Best Alternative Music Album

 * Nominator(s): — ΛΧΣ  21,  Statυs  ( talk ,  contribs ) 01:10, 7 August 2013 (UTC)

The Latin Grammy Award for Best Alternative Music Album is an honor presented annually by the Latin Academy of Recording Arts & Sciences at the Latin Grammy Awards. According to the category description guide for the 2012 Latin Grammy Awards, the award is for vocal or instrumental alternative albums. It is awarded to solo artists, duos or groups. — ΛΧΣ  21,  Statυs  ( talk ,  contribs ) 01:10, 7 August 2013 (UTC)

 * Comments:
 * Looks good! Just two very minor things:
 * Terra Networks/Telefónica should first be wikilinked in ref 2 (not 6)
 * Wikilink Los Angeles Times (Tribune Company) in ref 7
 * Thank you! Sorry for the late response time (both Hahc and I haven't been that active recently), but the issues have now been resolved. — Status  ( talk  ·  contribs ) 00:08, 11 September 2013 (UTC)

Comments As far as I have noticed, it is acceptable to open the table sections with a paragraph that explains the content of the table (meaning of each column, clarifications, etc.) It may be better to do that, than using notes for it. Everything else seems fine Cambalachero (talk) 22:16, 21 September 2013 (UTC) Note for directors: My time in internet is limited lately, so if this detail is fixed, or Hahc21 provids a sound reason to keep it this way, feel free to count me as a "support" if I did not return to do so myself Cambalachero (talk) 22:16, 21 September 2013 (UTC)
 * Oh well, we mostly don't do that on Latin Grammy lists because the notes are just like redundant explanations of the headers. I have created explanatory paragraphs for other lists like List of Crystal Dynamics video games, but I believe that it is not necessary here. Users can understand the table as-is, and the notes are just a formality. — ΛΧΣ  21  02:37, 28 September 2013 (UTC)

Support: all nice and tidy and well put together. - SchroCat (talk) 11:30, 7 October 2013 (UTC)

Comment: I think the list should be updated, in order to include the 2013 nominees. Javier Espinoza (talk) 01:00, 8 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Thanks for pointing this out. We hadn't realized the 2013 nominees were released. We will get on that within the next couple of days. — Status  ( talk  ·  contribs ) 20:02, 8 October 2013 (UTC)

Comments Comments
 * "alternative albums containing at least 51% of newly recorded material" -> I don't believe the "of" is correct here, and this should simply read "51% newly recorded". This applies to the lead and the infobox.
 * "Two-time winner Julieta Venegas, the first and so far only performer to do so." -> Given that the first clause doesn't contain an active verb, "to do so" isn't right here. Alternative constructions might be "Two-time winner Julieta Venegas, the first and so far only performer to win multiple times" or "Julieta Venegas has won two awards, the first and so far only performer to do so".
 * "Mexican artists have received this award more than any other nationality thought it has also been presented to artists originating from Colombia, the United States, and Venezuela" -> "thought" should be "though", and I would recommend either a comma or a dash to break up this sentence after "nationality".
 * Similarly, the following sentence ("The award was first earned...") could do with a comma or two as it seems very run-on.
 * "Mexican performer Julieta Venegas is the only artist to have won this category more than once" -> If I'm not mistaken, you win in a category.
 * I would consider merging the last two sentences of the lead, having it read as "Mexican performer Julieta Venegas is the only artist to have won in this category more than once, while Argentine band Babasónicos hold the record for most nominations, with four." This is wholly optional though.
 * Given the sortable nature of the table, I would probably link entries at each mention in the table, as the opening order is not necessarily the reading order; as I see it this applies only to the second mention of "Carla Morrison" and could probably just be an oversight.
 * The 2013 nominees still need to be added as well; I expect the general ref to be updated when this happens too. We're quite close to the November 21 date for the actual announcement but if the nominees are listed it's simply housekeeping to add the winner and update any counts at that stage.

 * My gosh... We have been so busy we completely forgot about this FLC. We will get to the issues this weekend. — Status  ( talk  ·  contribs ) 15:16, 8 November 2013 (UTC)
 * & I added the 2013 recipients for you guys. Erick (talk) 02:48, 10 February 2014 (UTC)

I fixed a brief typo in the introductory paragraphs. I changed what read as 'thought' to 'though' for comprehensiveness. Additionally, is the table able to be updated? I searched for for the 56th Annual GRAMMY Awards nominees, and found that the nominees have been updated. I was looking under the ' BEST LATIN ROCK, URBAN OR ALTERNATIVE ALBUM' category. This information can be found here: This is my first time contributing to a discussion, so please let me know if there is anything I can do better for next time! - Mewhho18 (talk) 23:05, 23 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the clean up. Anyways, this list deals with the Alternative Music from the Latin Grammys, not the regular Grammys. Erick (talk) 02:48, 10 February 2014 (UTC)
