Comments from Mm40 (talk). By the way, does my solution for centering the dashes work?
- "and the Hugo Awards for best novel, and the Philip K. Dick Award" I don't think the comma is needed.
- Link Aurora Awards in the second paragraph?
- Link Bruce Sterling at his first mention
- The "SFWA" abbreviation shouldn't be provided if it's not used elsewhere in the article.
- In the Arthur C. Clarke Award section, why is United Kingdom linked while neither American or Canadian is linked in the lead?
- In the BSFA Awards section, only use the abbreviation.
- The "Result" column for the Locus poll doesn't sort correctly
- Ref 2 and 3 should have consistent linking and presentation (City, State) of publishing locations
- Link Literary Review of Canada in ref 4
- Ref 13: Why is the publisher of New Scientist in parenthesis while no others publishers are?
- Is there any way to avoid having the only two images in the article (counting the navbox image) be the same? It may be a bit extreme to copy the navbox code just to use a different image, but do what you will. Anyway, the navbox image needs alt text.
I'll be happy to support once these issues are fixed. Mm40 (talk) 19:41, 16 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Yo, Mm40, your dash solution seems to have done the trick, thanks! I appreciate your keen eye (and am horrified at missing such simple issues!), and will respond in turn:
- Eh, hardly simple. After you do a couple of these reviews, you know what to look for. I often laugh at how pedantic I am

- The comma is there to avoid the use of the conjunction "and" twice in the same sentence without interruption. It's trying to group two elements [Nebula + Hugo awards for best novel] separately from the third [Philip K. Dick Award for best paperback original]. Would it be better if the sequence was reversed?
- I think it might be best if they were connected using "as well as"; my only issue is that the comma makes the sentence choppy. I'm hardly a prose master, so I'll leave it up to you. Mm40 (talk) 13:39, 18 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Links corrected
- Unused abbreviation expunged
- Regarding the BSFA Awards, I was following MOS:ABBR; "The full name should always be the first reference in an article, and thereafter acronyms are acceptable, as long as the acronym is given as an explicit alternative early (usually in parentheses)." Usually, the lead section does not count, being a summary of the component sections, so I thought it proper to use the full name. Furthermore, although the article on the awards is at BSFA Awards, the article on the organisation is at the full name – British Science Fiction Association. I'm not too concerned either way, but the case has yet to be made.
- Hmm, usually the lead does count. Maybe it's that abbreviations are usually vital to understanding the article (this, for example. "MVP" is the basis of the article). It's a relatively minor issue, so no biggie. Mm40 (talk) 13:39, 18 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- I don't know how to fix the results sorting in the Locus section I'm afraid; ((hs)) does not seem to co-exist peacefully with ((nom)).
- Do you think you can avoid the template by just using |bgcolor= and ((sort))? I'm not sure what exact color coordinates ((nom)) uses, but I'm sure it could be found out. It's only for that one poll table, so it shouldn't be too much work. Mm40 (talk) 13:39, 18 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- The Burning Chrome reference does not seem to have a city to go with its state according to Worldcat, but I have unlinked City, State in the other ref for consistency.
- According to the mailing address on it's website, it's New York City. Mm40 (talk) 13:39, 18 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Alt text added for navbox image. There's not really any room for images outside the infobox given all the tables. The solution, if there need be one, would be to change the infobox image, but I don't really have anything decent to replace it with. This, maybe?
- I see the image is also repeated in the main FA and another FL on Gibson, so I won't bug you. Mm40 (talk) 13:39, 18 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks again for the review, I really appreciate it. Skomorokh 09:12, 18 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- (to mm40) I've reworded with "as well as" and added NYC for the Burning Chrone ref as suggested. I don't mind the work in getting the Locus table to sort properly but I dislike using custom solutions as they tend to make edit screens inscrutable and their utility tends to degrade much faster than commonly used templates. The issue seems to be the double digit ordinal numbers; I'll ask at the technical village pump if there is a solution. Skomorokh 18:35, 19 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- (to mm40) They seem to have found a workaround for this at the Village Pump thread, so I hope to fix this today. Skomorokh 15:15, 20 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- The sorting of the Locus table has now been fixed. Skomorokh 23:46, 21 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- I've fixed a quick typo, so the sorting is functional. Mm40 (talk) 23:57, 21 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
