First image needs alt text.
Why is there a " | |" in Best Picture Director.
Same for the "|" in Best Sound Editor and Best Writer (comedy).
What proof do you have that BellaNaija is a reliable source.
Why is Olu Jacobs the only person in the Industry Merit Award section, were there no runners-up.
"to all entrants.The award is" is missing a space.
"The award is presented", is should be was
Ping when done. History6042😊 (Contact me) 22:39, 24 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@History6042, thank you. I am done fixing the article per your comments above. For the reliability of BellaNaija, see WP:RSNG and this recent discussion and consensus. Safari Scribe^{Edits! Talk!} 04:17, 25 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Comments by RunningTiger123

Several things should be fixed, but these two are the most critical as they are necessary for proper accessibility:

Categories and nominees should be in the same cell. Otherwise, a screen reader will read the table incorrectly as it moves from top to bottom, left to right; for instance, it would read "Best Actress in a Comedy" between "Best Actress in a Drama" and the Best Actress in a Drama nominees. {{Award category}} is great for this; you can also refer to other awards ceremonies such as 76th Primetime Emmy Awards and 96th Academy Awards for examples.
Listing winners in boldface is insufficient; you should also have a symbol to denote the winner. The two examples above show this. (Also, nominees are typically listed with an extra indent to further separate winners.)

More comments:

Hosts should be listed on separate lines in infobox
Use spaces around the slash for most awards entry in infobox (MOS:SLASH)
"9 March 2013, at the Exhibition Center" – no comma needed after year (MOS:DATEFORMAT)
- Also occurs in Ceremony section
"Vimbai Mutinhiri and IK Osakioduwa Kimmel hosted" – looks like "Kimmel" was copied from another article on accident?
"the Best Picture" / "the Best Actor in a Drama" / "the Best Actor and Actress" – just say "Best ___", like it says for Best Actress in a Drama
- Similar wording occurs in Ceremony section
"The award also honoured" – replace "award" with "ceremony" or a similar word
It says "28 honours in 26 categories" but then says "and also two honours", so presumably the 28 honours part is redundant – just say it has 26 categories and two honours
"Big Brother Africa's" – use {{'s}} like this: ''Big Brother Africa''{{'s}}
"9pm CAT" – either link to the meaning of CAT or spell it out
There's no formal rules for this, but I suggest reorganizing the categories to follow a more typical order in the list. Place the main category first (Best Picture) and pair similar awards besides each other (Best Actor in a Drama / Best Actress in a Drama; Best Writer (Comedy) / Best Writer (Drama); etc.)
- Though as I look over the categories, I don't think they're all correct? There are two Best Film entries, and they don't match; meanwhile, neither is called Best Picture, which is what the prose used. There are also only 24 categories listed even though it says there were 26 categories, and the Trailblazer Award is missing.
Place spaces around the en dashes in the winners and nominees table (MOS:LISTDASH)
Convert the Industry Merit Award to use {{Award category}} like every other entry

@RunningTiger123, done. Safari Scribe^{Edits! Talk!} 09:45, 2 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I still only count 24 categories (discounting the honorary awards) instead of 26. From the sources it looks like all of the nominees are listed; can you try to figure out why the category count went from 26 to 24? If there aren't sources explaining the change, there should still be some clarification that the totals do not match. RunningTiger123 (talk) 19:01, 4 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The award didn't name nominees for two categories: Best Documentary and Best Online Video; according to the organisers, the selection team preferred to present it as certificates of encouragement to all entrants. @RunningTiger123 Safari Scribe^{Edits! Talk!} 05:01, 5 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Source review

I will do the source review for this article starting with formatting then checking reliability and then doing a source spot check. IntentionallyDense ^(Contribs) 19:45, 29 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Formatting is consistent across citations
Sources are appropriately reliable, there seems to have been a week consensus that BellaNaija is reliable and seeing as it used alongside other sources and that it isn't supporting any controversial information I think it is appropriate here
ref 1 is verified
ref 2 isn't loading for me. This may be a regional issue but I'll check again later
I spot checked the other sources and found no issues.

If you could get back to about ref 2 and ping me in your reply that would be great! IntentionallyDense ^(Contribs) 19:57, 29 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@IntentionallyDense, I have fixed above including ref2. Safari Scribe^{Edits! Talk!} 23:32, 29 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Pass for the source review. IntentionallyDense ^(Contribs) 21:40, 30 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Reading Beans

My comments are in this version.

Link AMVCA Trailblazer Award.
Link AMVCA Industry Merit Award.
Ref 2 has a date in the article, 29 January 2013.
Ref 6 and 7 has location, either add it to all references or remove it entirely for consistency.
Link Clinic Matters in the last table of that’s what you wanted to do in the first place.

That’s all I seem to have from my end for now. Best, Reading Beans, Duke of Rivia 18:33, 12 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Reading Beans , done. Safari Scribe^{Edits! Talk!} 21:15, 12 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Support: Looks good. Best, Reading Beans, Duke of Rivia 23:31, 12 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Vestrian24Bio

Should link Eko Hotels and Suites in the infobox as well.
Is it necessary to include three refs for the hosts; only one is enough.
Link Otelo Burning on the first mention in the overview section; same for other titles as well.
Also, don't think its necessary for overview to be a separate header it could all be under the ceremony section.
Should link AMVCA for Best Actor in a Drama and Africa Magic Viewers' Choice Award for Best Overall Movie wherever necessary (lead and overview section).
Who were awarded for Best Documentary and Best Online Video??
The prose says, "The awards ceremony was sponsored by Amstel Malta and the awards were presented by MultiChoice"; while the lead says "presented by MultiChoice and Africa Magic" - should be made consistent.
Don't think its necessary for the award categories without articles to be linked yet.
Best Lighting Designer, Best Art Director, Best Picture Director and Best Cinematographer winners are missing the ‡ symbol.
BellaNaija is an unreliable source, should replace with a better source.

@Vestrian24Bio, done. Per this consensus, BellaNaija is a reliable source. Safari Scribe^{Edits! Talk!} 02:53, 7 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

All else good, Support. Vestrian24Bio 10:08, 7 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
