List of awards and nominations received by The White Stripes
I haven't submitted a list to be featured in a while (Not after the whole The White Stripes discography fiasco), but after being suggested to by Gary King (And he should know), here it is. ''' Red157 (talk • contribs) 12:50, 15 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Support GREAT LIST. Why don't you re-nominate the white stripes discography? --Be Black Hole Sun (talk) 12:59, 15 September 2008 (UTC)

 * Since it is not a sortable, maybe you could use rowspan on the Grammy table for Elephant as you did on the MTV tables. Jaespinoza (talk) 20:39, 16 September 2008 (UTC)

 * What makes the following reliable sources?
 * http://top40.about.com/od/awards/a/2005mtvawards_3.htm (Wouldn't it make more sense to link direct to the MTV awards?)
 * http://www.tourdates.co.uk/news/2984-MTV-European-Award-Nominees-Timberlake-White-Stripes-Lead-The-Pack (Again, wouldn't it make more sense to link direct to the MTV awards?)
 * http://www.movieweb.com/tv/news/31/21731.php (Again, wouldn't it make more sense ...)
 * Otherwise sources look okay, links checked out with the link checker tool. Ealdgyth - Talk 13:42, 18 September 2008 (UTC)
 * If I recall correctly, no direct sources to MTV's website could be found. Granted some pages exist, but I was unable to link to them directly. I may not have full knowledge of what makes a reliable source, but these are correct and explain clearly the info needed. At the time, if I could find an MTV source, I would have obviously used them.

 * To determine the reliablity of the site, we need to know what sort of fact checking they do. You can establish this by showing news articles that say the site is reliable/noteworthy/etc. or you can show a page on the site that gives their rules for submissions/etc. or you can show they are backed by a media company/university/institute, or you can show that the website gives its sources and methods, or there are some other ways that would work too. It's their reputation for reliabilty that needs to be demonstrated. Please see Wikipedia Signpost/2008-06-26/Dispatches for further detailed information.

 * "...to celebrate music videos..." peacock/POV - if it's a quote, quote it, if not, tone it down.
 * What's "Shockwaves NME "?
 * I'm confused how that's peakcock, as an award ceremony for music videos is of course going to be a celebration. And what's "Shockwaves NME"? As I said, they're 'Founded by the music magazine NME, the NME Awards are awarded annually'. The Shockwaves part is obviously their sponsor, should I have mentioned that? Like they didn't on List of The Killers awards? God... Now I remember why I stopped submitting stuff to this. ''' Red157 (talk • contribs) 13:27, 24 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Chill out man. State the facts - it's an ceremony which presents awards for videos based on some criteria.  Shockwaves is not obvious to someone who doesn't know that it's a hair product, is it?  As for "it's not on this, that, the other FL so why should I here..." - standards have improved around here quite a bit and therefore lists undergo a higher level of scrutiny than they did before.

 * Is this a list about awards which have been painted with white stripey lines? Please rename to List of awards and nominations received by The White Stripes Matthewedwards (talk • contribs • email) 07:45, 26 September 2008 (UTC)

 * The band was formed in 1997 and consists of vocalist, multi-instrumentalist and songwriter Jack White and drummer Meg White, who also occasionally provides vocals. - comma after multi-instrumentalist.
 * White Blood Cells was followed by Elephant, which proved an even bigger success, earning the band four Grammy Award nominations, and winning the band the Best Alternative Music Album and Best Rock Song awards. - even bigger is not adhering to a NPOV.
