Comments Perhaps a touch radical but since you have almost a complete set of images, how about embedding them in the table rather than the (rather nasty, in my opinion) gallery? I did similar for the Crafoord Prize. Added images to table. Consider using the Award infobox. Added. "to recording artist " - to a recording artist? Plus, do you really mean this? Are the Bee Gees an "artist"? Changed to "recording artists". "were issued in 1990, to recipients Andrew Lloyd Webber" - why not just "were awarded in 1990, to Andrew..."? Done. "inuagrated" - typo. Fixed. "The next year, in 1992," perhaps I missed something but the next year would be 1991... Correct. Fixed. "prestigious award" who says it's prestigious? Dropped "prestigious". Your lead says awards were made in 1995 but the table doesn't. Changed to 1994, and tweaked the sentence in reference to the award being issued intermittently. 15 musicians? I'd say 14 solo musicians and one band... Changed to "14 solo musicians and one band have received the Grammy Legend Award".

Resolved comments from Mm40 (talk)

Comments from Mm40 (talk) I don't think "awarded by the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences" should be in "Awarded for" in the infobox. Done. The first two sentences begin and end with "the Grammy Awards"; see if you can reword them. Reworded. The third sentence should clarify that it's talking about the normal Grammies, not the Legend Award. Clarified. "in the 21st century, when the brothers" the comma isn't needed. Done. Is there any info on how the recipients are selected? I know of the nomination and selection process for regular awards, but cannot find any information on the system for this special award. In Joel's alt text: "upper body show of a" is "show" a typo? Fixed. Can you think of anything else to add to the table? Maybe a genre/simple description? For some of the artists listed, genres can be hard to place and become the subject of "genre trolls". I can't think of any other appropriate things to add to the table. In reference 6, America's Intelligence Wire should be a work, not a publisher Done. Because most of the information presented should be well-covered, I think more freely-accessible sources can be used; not a requisite, just a suggestion. Added free and reliable sources where I could find them; a lot of the sources available give the wrong date for artists receiving the award. The 2001 People Entertainment Almanac needs attention with regards to formatting. Who's the author? People is in the template but does not show up. Fixed the template. People is the author. Overall, the article seems a bit thin, but I assume there's nothing else that can be added. Mm40 (talk) 03:30, 31 December 2009 (UTC) Thank you for your comments and suggestions.

• Support Although a free replacement for reference #9 would be nice. Also, any critical response to the award of any kind? For example, the list is pretty heavily US/UK-centric and, more generally, Western. I'd say Khaled is as much a Legend as Streisand is, eg. And I'm hardly a music critic.

• I've removed ref 9 and re-used a free reference which was already in the article. I have found no critical commentary on the award in any sources. Thanks. Pyrrhus16 21:05, 6 January 2010 (UTC)

• Support - I can't find anything in this article which would raise any issues. Afro (Not a Terrible Joke) ^{- Afkatk} 18:40, 20 January 2010 (UTC)
