Moortidevi Award

 * Nominator(s): Yashthepunisher (talk) 15:29, 3 December 2017 (UTC)

My first literary award attempt. It is well written and sourced. Looking forward to feedbacks. Yashthepunisher (talk) 15:29, 3 December 2017 (UTC)

That's all I got. Great job! BeatlesLedTV (talk) 20:56, 3 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Comments from BeatlesLedTV
 * Any reason a third of the table has  and the other two thirds is  ? Change one or the other; make sure it's consistent.
 * Every note you have has "Awarded for ...". Could there be a separate column just for "Award"? If not I'd put the notes next to the names and leave the ref column by itself.
 * "Refs." → "Ref."; only have 1 ref per year.
 * Are there any more pictures you could use that are relevant?
 * In external links, use a bullet point.
 * Could we put the book references in their own bibliography section and use sfn referencing?
 * Done. Thank you for your comments. Yashthepunisher (talk) 06:03, 4 December 2017 (UTC)


 * Support – All good for me. Great job! BeatlesLedTV (talk) 17:08, 4 December 2017 (UTC)

 * Comments from Ssven2
 * Refs 18, 19 and 20 do not point to any citation. Fix them.
 * I still can't figure out the problem here, maybe its because these refs don't mention the authors name. Yashthepunisher (talk) 13:35, 4 December 2017 (UTC)
 * I have resolved the problem now. Try to implement it in the future next time. —  Ssven2  Looking at you, kid 14:27, 4 December 2017 (UTC)


 * "The Moortidevi Award is an India literary award annually presented by the Bharatiya Jnanpith, a literary and research organization to an author for their "contemplative and perceptive work". — the second part after the comma doesn't look right. Perhaps a comma like "...by the Bharatiya Jnanpith, a literary and research organization, to an author for their...". BTW, its "organisation", not "organization" (as the article is about an India-related topic, Indian English usage is better here.)
 * Done.


 * "In 2003, the award..." — Do you mean "Since 2003"?
 * Done.


 * Thats about it from me. Interesting list this. —  Ssven2  Looking at you, kid 13:08, 4 December 2017 (UTC)
 * I will now support this article's promotion. —  Ssven2  Looking at you, kid 14:27, 4 December 2017 (UTC)

Comments
 * Any image we could use in the infobox under fair use for the statue, or plaque, or shawl, which is presented to each winner?
 * Sorry, I couldn't find any.


 * "only to the Indian" either lose "the" or replace it with "those".
 * "Since 2003, the" -> "From 2003,..."
 * Link ₹ in the lead.
 * "in the year 2011" no need for "the year".
 * Ditto for 2013.
 * Link Kannada first time round in the lead.
 * "first recipient of the award was the Kannada writer C. K. Nagaraja Rao who received the award " recipient .. award ... received ... award... repetitive.
 * "Out of twenty-three eligible languages the award has been presented for works in nine languages:" Reverse this, "Works have been presented the award in nine of the twenty-three eligible languages"
 * "given in the year 1985 and " no need for "the year" again.
 * " one women author. In 1991, Odia " replace the full stop with a colon as the two sentences are intrinsically linked.
 * "The most recent " see WP:ASOF.
 * "the year 2016" - again, ditch "the year".
 * "Later in November," either "In November that year" or just "Later that year", but not both.
 * " Jain along with" comma after Jain.
 * "and Lakshmi Chandra Jain presented " comma before presented.
 * " the then President of India" hyphenate.
 * "was first held in 1983." the award wasn't "first held", it was first "presented" or the ceremony at which it was presented was "first held".
 * "The recipient for a particular year is announced by the Selection Board, which has final authority in selection.[3]" seems nugatory to me.
 * Row scopes need a "!" rather than a "|".
 * "Awarded forMrityunjay." space needed.
 * Why isn't the winning work named in the table rather than those various footnotes?
 * It's because we don't have information about some awardee's winning work and listing the rest in the table won't be appropriate.
 * It would be better to list the info we do have in the table with "not known" for those we don't. The Rambling Man (talk) 08:03, 12 December 2017 (UTC)
 * , Is it okay now. Yashthepunisher (talk) 08:38, 12 December 2017 (UTC)


 * The list has two "philosophy" categories yet "philosophy" is not mentioned at all in the list or the lead.
 * I have removed those categories, since the award is not directly related to them.

The Rambling Man (talk) 11:00, 11 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Thank you for your comments. Yashthepunisher (talk) 08:01, 12 December 2017 (UTC)


 * Comments from Vedant
 * The lead has the "contemplative and perceptive work" bit mentioned twice. The second instance should suffice.
 * Done.


 * Not sure if "bestowed [...] to" is the correct use of prepositions.
 * Rephrased.


 * Not sure why Kannada, Gujarati, and Odia and not mentioned together of all have won 2 awards. Also, if so mention them in a chronological order.
 * Fixed.


 * "As of 2017, Bengali poet Joy Goswami is the recipient of the award." - the latest? most recent?
 * Done


 * "The language of the most recent recipient's work is not eligible for consideration for the next two years." - How have Hindi writers won 16/30 awards then?
 * The sentence is self-contradictory. I have removed it now.


 * You could put up a picture of Pratibha Ray as well as she is only woman to have won the award?
 * Done.

That's it for now Yash. Numerounovedant  Talk  06:32, 19 December 2017 (UTC)
 * I do have an additional comment​. Is there any information on the 1962-83 period about how the award materialised and what went took so long? This seems like a leap from 1962 to 83 as it stands now. Numerounovedant   Talk  08:37, 19 December 2017 (UTC)
 * I'm afraid the only information I could find is that the Bharatiya Jnanpith had first started the 'Jnanpith Award' in 1965 and the Moortidevi Award began in '83. Yashthepunisher (talk) 13:06, 19 December 2017 (UTC)
 * In that case, I can support this nomination. Great work Yash, it's a gem of a list that you have here. Numerounovedant   Talk  18:22, 19 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Thank you for the comments and support, Vedant. Really appreciated. Yashthepunisher (talk) 11:20, 20 December 2017 (UTC)


 * Comments by Forceradical


 * The sentence in the lede " As of 2017, Bengali poet Joy Goswami is the most recent recipient of the award. "lacks a citation
 * Done


 * Please use consistent ISBN's
 * Done


 * Some of the citations lack access dates
 * PDF files don't require access dates, the rest seems fine.


 * The "not known" in the works section sound akward please replace it with some other wording or with the appropriate book
 * Appropriate books of some of these awardees are unavailable. Can you suggest a better wording? Yashthepunisher (talk) 11:34, 31 December 2017 (UTC)
 * You could simply use a dash and a footnote explaining the reason for the anomaly.- — comment added by Force Radical«talk🎄contribs» 15:04, 1 January 2018 (UTC)
 * I have provided dash for the unknown works, but a footnote seems redundant to me as a dash is self-explanatory that its not known. Yashthepunisher (talk) 12:23, 2 January 2018 (UTC)

If these are done I'll certainly support the list .Happy Holidays and keep up the great job. — comment added by Force Radical 🎆talk 🎄 contribs🎆 09:24, 29 December 2017 (UTC)
