List of awards and nominations received by The Strokes[edit]

Gary King (talk) 19:49, 10 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Resolved concerns from SRX
Comments
  • The Strokes is a BRIT Award-winning American alternative rock band that has been hailed as the "saviors of rock and roll". - 1)is --> (should be) are (for past tense). 2)Is "saviors of rock and roll" a common thing for them? If not, then it should be removed but if it is then it's okay.
  • Formed in New York City in 1999, the band consists of Julian Casablancas (vocals), Nick Valensi (lead guitar), Albert Hammond Jr. (rhythm guitar), Nikolai Fraiture (bass) and Fabrizio Moretti (drums). - link to NYC?
  • The Strokes has released three studio albums, all on the RCA Records record label: Is This It (2001), Room on Fire (2003), and First Impressions of Earth (2006). - has --> (should be) have (past tense)
  • The band has been on hiatus since the release of their last album. - and their last album was?
  • It has also been nominated for Best International Band at the NME Awards in 2003, 2006 (which it won), and 2007. - it? shouldn't it be they.

Got them all. I've been working with so many British band lists lately that I got caught up in "are" and so when I switched back to American bands, I forced it all as "is" and sometimes that isn't correct. That's what happened here. D'oh! Gary King (talk) 21:04, 10 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Support - after addressed concerns, this list meets the Featured List criteria.--SRX 00:20, 16 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comments - sources look okay, links checked out with the link checker tool. Ealdgyth - Talk 12:16, 11 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comments - Please don't classify them as "award-winning" in the first sentence itself. It is discouraged because it immediately introduces a bias. THat "saviors of rock" is unnecessary too". Annd there's no need to ref basic info like band members' and albums' names indopug (talk) 15:13, 11 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Those are fine, but why remove the references? It certainly doesn't hurt to still have those; it makes it easier to verify if anyone ever wants to. The albums and the band members are not common knowledge, like how the Earth revolves around the Sun. And the fact that the band is on hiatus should also certainly be sourced, so I don't understand why that reference was removed. Gary King (talk) 16:11, 11 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I don't think something like "John Lennon was a member of The Beatles"--even if it isn't Earth-revolves-around-the-sun-esque common knowledge--needs a ref. You were right about the hiatus though. indopug (talk) 15:02, 12 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
