List of awards and nominations received by J. K. Rowling

 * Nominator(s): Olivaw-Daneel (talk) 21:18, 24 January 2022 (UTC)

Rowling has won many different awards for Harry Potter and other work; I hope it makes for an interesting list. This was created a couple of weeks ago, spawning from revamps to the Rowling article during its FAR. Folks felt it may be ready for FLC, so here it is. This was collaborative; thanks to.

 * I am not an FLC regular, but having spent the better part of the last three weeks in a deep dive on sourcing at J. K. Rowling, I am confident this list is comprehensive. I am flattered that O-D considers it a collaboration, but it is all Olivaw-Daneel's work; I have kept a watchful eye, added a few citations, and did a wee bit of nitpicking, not rising to the level of significant or even barely significant contributor, but with my usual inflated edit count because of how I edit. To my understanding, this list well meets WP:WIAFL, the prose and sourcing are at featured standard, and I anticipate supporting once FLC regulars have had a look.

 * Support after several fine reviews got out the remaining nitpicks. Sandy Georgia  (Talk)  02:08, 27 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Comments
 * I think the HP book titles should be written in full in the lead, rather than having "Harry Potter and the" removed
 * "Rowling also won the University College Dublin's" => "Rowling also won University College Dublin's" (it's not referred to as the UCD)
 * In the speculative fiction section, I would write "Andre Norton Award" in full, as she didn't literally win Andre Norton :-)
 * Her 2010 award in the pop culture section was given by the National Magazine Company, so you may as well say that rather than the nebulous "leading magazines"
 * That's all I got - great work! -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 09:08, 25 January 2022 (UTC)


 * @ChrisTheDude, I think I've addressed everything. Thanks for the review. Olivaw-Daneel (talk) 10:17, 25 January 2022 (UTC)

Will try not to screw this up Hope this helps :) Pamzeis (talk) 06:57, 26 January 2022 (UTC) Also, I've made a few tweaks. Feel free to revert anything you disagree with. Also, also, I'd appreciate any comments here. Pamzeis (talk) 06:59, 26 January 2022 (UTC)
 * "Some scholars feel" — only one scholar is cited...
 * The source is summarizing other scholars' opinions (not just her own). Regardless I've added one more cite.
 * "literature in 2000, and three"/"in 2012, and for her services to literature" — IDK about this, but I feel like the shouldn't be a comma (I'm probably wrong but I just thought I'd note it in case I'm right)
 * "social, moral, and" — is there a reason for the comma? The rest of the article doesn't seem to use the serial comma
 * All serial commas removed.
 * "where she spoke at the 2008 commencement ceremony" — I'm unsure whether she spoke at all the universities' ceremonies or only Harvard's. Can this be clarified?
 * The Tales of Beedle the Bard, etc. should sort by Tales, not The
 * Per MOS:CONFORMTITLE, titles of works like Harry Potter should be italicised in citations
 * Per MOS:SMALLCAPS, the citation capitalisation is inconsistent. Some are written in title-case while the others in sentence-case.
 * All done.
 * Thanks, I think I've addressed all comments. And sure I'll take a look. Olivaw-Daneel (talk) 10:16, 26 January 2022 (UTC)

Comments Support by Gerald Waldo Luis
A very wise human being indeed. I've archived some of the references, use this next time you wanna auto-archive. This article looks pretty neat, just a few suggestions.


 * I support this FLC after all my comments got resolved. Good job!  Gerald WL  01:17, 27 January 2022 (UTC)


 * Support I offered some comments a bit back on this and I suggested that it be nominated because I feel that it fufills the criteria. It passes my source review, but the coords might want someone else to do one as well. -- Guerillero Parlez Moi 10:29, 27 January 2022 (UTC)

Comments by MWright96

 * "Two years later, she was recognized as a Chevalier de la Légion d'Honneur" - should the word in bold end in "sed"?
 * " Royal Society of Edinburgh (HonFRSE) and Royal College of Physicians of Edinburgh (FRCPE)." - the word "the" is missing at the beginning of both of these academic establishments

That is all I have for this list MWright96 (talk) 13:30, 2 February 2022 (UTC)


 * @MWright96 Switched to "-ised" and added "the". Olivaw-Daneel (talk) 17:38, 2 February 2022 (UTC)
