Sydney International Piano Competition
This list has been subject to extensive work over the last few days by myself, and now, I believe it meets the featured list criteria. Basically, this is a music competition held in Sydney every four years, obviously not as high profile as a programme such as Australian Idol, for example. I've used a number of different pages of the website, and some third party references, all of which are reliable. All of the people included in the section for each year have one some form of prize, with the first winning $25,000 AUD. Anyways, I believe this is ready for FLC, and I'm willing to address any issues as soon as possible. Qst (talk) 13:56, 26 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Support Alright, all of my comments were either resolved or explained, and I don't see anything esle wrong. Well-done list, certainly deserving of FL. Juliancolton Tropical Cyclone  14:25, 26 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Weak support okay, a couple of issues of mine still need resolving if possible but nothing major enough to prevent a support, albeit weak, from me. I'd still like more on the odd year gap and on the 2nd/3rd rounds but I can see that it may be difficult to get referenceable material on that. The Rambling Man (talk) 06:32, 6 May 2008 (UTC)


 * Looks good enough for FL, support. Rudget   (Help?) 19:42, 1 May 2008 (UTC)


 * Oppose—Seriously sub-professional writing. Not "comprehensive" as required: which sections did these hosts of competitors win? Title is wrong: "List of Sydney International Piano Competition prize-winners".
 * Infobox: "Pianist skills" is wrong, linguistically and conceptually. You can have the skills, but perform poorly on the day. "Exceptional piano performance"?
 * "Sydney University" is informal. Please use the proper title.
 * Puffery: the two sources supporting the claim in the lead that it's "recognised internationally as one of the world's great Piano Competitions" are both in-house web sites. Ahem.
 * "Center" spelt wrongly.
 * "Since its establishment in July 1977 by Claire Dan, the competition has since been admitted as a member of the Federation of International Music Competitions in 1978, and is presented in association with ..."—Wrong tense; since x 2 and one is overtaken by the stated year; last clause awkwardly jammed into the sentence. Following sentence ungrammatical. And more. TONY   (talk)  08:38, 3 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Okay, everything is done. The only thing I have not done is move the page to your proposed title, this being because if this was to be renamed, there would be no other information left for the article. I've tried to pull together everything I could find for the lead of the list, so if a separate article were to be created about the competiton, it would basically just be a duplicate of the lead in the list. I hope you're satisified with my response and now able to offer to your support, or otherwise add your comments in to a [show] box. Thanks for the accurate review.

 * Well, not really. Why are there up to ?13 prize winners each year? Weren't there categories for each? Surely we should be told which category, and who the overall winner was?
 * There are thirteen winners because, well...that is just how many there are - there is no particular reason as to why they've chosen that number. As for categories, the competition doesn't use them. Qst (talk) 19:58, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Why the "2008 competitors" table? Won't that look odd in the coming years? Presupposes an unusual amount of updating.
 * Well, because the 2008 competition has not yet ended. Once it has, I'll be formatting it to fit in with the others, but otherwise, it seems appropriate as it is. Qst (talk) 11:49, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
 * MOS breach: title "Prize winners", not W. Same in column title.
 * Done, I think. Qst (talk) 19:58, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Every sentence needs fixing—every one. You need a copy-editor. TONY   (talk)  11:34, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Done; I've seeked the assistance of and . Hopefully everything is now to your satisfaction. Qst (talk) 20:09, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
