Comments –

~~Is the Michael Caine who is mentioned as an author the same person as the actor? I ask because the link goes to the more-famous Caine.~~

yes, you are correct. This is the "false" one, as he died 1999.

"the 'long list', six best novels which forms a 'short list'." Something doesn't seem right in this sentence. Try putting another "the" before "six", since I think that will help.

added

now done. I think I didn' save this edit.

~~"in honor to sponsor P.A. Smirnov." "to" → "of".~~

changed

~~"The committee signed a five-years contract to sponsor British Petroleum." Don't think "years" should be plural in this form.~~

removed "s"

I try to find a reference. I can easily find one which says that he was the first non-Russian. But it is hard to find a source that says he was the first handicapped person to win this award. I know that other winners weren't disabled.--♫GoP♫_T ^C _N 11:52, 13 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Is "handicapped" still a PC phrase?

replaced

There's an {{Infobox award}} that could be used here in the lead.

added

If you really mean Michael Caine in that lead (who is now a Sir) then link it, otherwise probably link it to a red (dab) link because for most Brit readers it's confusing!

linked

I think, instead of "not to be confused.." you should explain the relationship between the two awards. I won't get confused between "Booker" and "Anti-Booker". Nor would most English readers.

removed hatnote

Was BP still called British Petroleum then or simply BP?

BP, changed

Georgy Vladimov -> our article calls him Georgi?

changed

No need for the (s) in Ref(s) as you only have one per line.

removed

Any reason the tables aren't sortable?

actually they are, but the "sorting sign" has been removed, I think

Would make both tables columns the same widths.

removed second table

Not sure about the section headings, maybe the decade novels should be the same level as the overall winners, because having a section 1 and a section 1.1 but no 1.2 looks really odd. (To me).

moved to lead

Plus, right now the novels of the decade aren't actually winners, they're nominees...

I notice the table is sortable yet the buttons are not visible I would remove the red background so the reader is aware the table is sortable should avoid any confusion.

Nearly there just two more things that need addressing, ref 3 needs an author adding and ref 7 needs a accessdate. NapHit (talk) 23:07, 12 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
