message: It has been said that the Police are reuniting to perform at the Grammy's. Shouldn't that be notable enough to warrent mention here, considering they haven't been together in about 25+ years. Kaiser matias 23:40, 25 January 2007 (UTC)

message: A look through the recent edits has indicated that several editors (some showing anon IP addresses) have vandalized certain parts of this article, and I suppose it had much to do with the Dixie Chicks' five wins last night. Yes, I understand that their big night was unpopular with many people, but this is not the forum to vent our disapproval. This is an article simply about who won what awards, and the fact is the Dixie Chicks won. To that end, to discourage further vandalism, I wonder if it might be a good idea to watch this page and possibly consider at least semi-protection? Thanks!

thread_title: Watch requested

message: A few points to make here, which I'll cover at once:
* 1. This page now needs protecting. I had reverted an edit to remove nonsense about Communism, which has nothing to do the 2007 Grammys. There was also an unsourced statement I removed alleging bribery, which has no merit without a source.
* 2. Should the process of voting be moved to the main Grammy Awards page? The process has not significantly changed from year to year, so I see no reason to include the process in this article (or in other Grammy Awards of x-year articles either, if it is included).
For your consideration. [[Briguy52748 16:59, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: Patricknoddy — You'd agree that this page should be protected, or the process moved to the general Grammy Awards page? Just want to see where specifically you stand. [[Briguy52748 03:21, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

text: In reviewing at the most recent vandalism-related edits, they've gotten more vicious (primarily against the Dixie Chicks) and I strongly urge someone now (perhaps an administrator) to protect this page. apparently, people aren't getting the message that this is not a forum to voice opinions about the Dixie Chicks, but rather to present the facts. Thanks! [[Briguy52748 03:24, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

message: Why is this article not on 49th Annual Grammy Awards? - Patricknoddy 19:42, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: It appears this article's title is consistent with the other Grammy Award event pages (e.g., Grammy Awards of 1985). My guess is that it is easier for users to look up a Grammy Awards event by year, rather than the number of the event (e.g., 49th Annual). There is a redirect for users who type "49th Annual Grammy Awards" to this page. Hope this helps! [[Briguy52748 03:20, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Survey - in support of the move

message: # OPPOSE — While tariqabjotu is correct in that Grammy ceremony broadcasts are referred to as "Xth Annual Grammy Awards," few people remember them by the number of the event; they remember it more by the year. The idea of Wikipedia, I believe, is not only to present knowledge and information, but to do so in a manner that makes it as easy as possible for people to find the article of interest. Yes, redirects to each year-specific page could be put in place, but that does not change my vote. The introductory suffices in calling each event by its proper name (e.g., The 49th annual Grammy Awards ...), despite the title. I do not believe it would cause any confusion.
