Untitled

I have decided to remove "Quebecois" which was in brackets since French Canadians do not only reside in Quebec, there are 2 million French speaking people in other provinces and the award is Canada-wide Canking 04:47, 10 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This is only a comment but given that most readers would probably be unfamiliar with the article subject it might be a good idea to propose additional hooks or to mention that the subject is the premiere awards for French-language Canadian media.

Added two new ALTs Z1720 (talk) 18:05, 15 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Both of those have rather limited appeals; ALT1 may not make sense to those unfamiliar with the Gemini Awards while ALT2 sounds rather niche. Maybe some other suggestions could be given here? Maybe even a hook stating that it's the most prestigious awards for French-language Canadian media or something to that effect? Narutolovehinata5 ^tccsdnew 01:30, 16 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I added ALT3 and ALT4 above to propose an explanation of the awards. I don't want to say they are the most prestigious award because I can't find a reference to back it up, although I will keep looking. Z1720 (talk) 02:59, 16 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Z1720, is there any update on this? Vincent^LUFan (talk) (Kenton!) 12:07, 26 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I added one additional source today but nothing that could build a new ALT. I think ALT 3 or 4 explains what the awards are the best.Z1720 (talk) 13:45, 26 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

These were comments. A reviewer is needed. Vincent^LUFan (talk) (Kenton!) 07:36, 27 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: All the hooks are really boring. The article mentions something about the award categories being renamed as a result of studio boycotts. Seems like a much more interesting topic for a hook. Bait30 ^{Talk 2 me pls?} 19:12, 1 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

ALT5: ~~... that many Prix Gémeaux categories were renamed after being boycotted by Québécois production studios?~~ Source: Fabienne Larouche souhaitait voir son émission 30 vies inscrite dans la catégorie des séries et non des téléromans. Cette catégorie a disparu, pour laisser place aux catégories de la meilleure série dramatique annuelle (2 à 13 épisodes), saisonnière (14 à 26 épisodes) et quotidienne.

- I don't want to use ALT5 because that's not entirely supported by the source when it is translated. I think ALT6 below describes the situation better:

I figured there would be issues with the translation since I was using Google Translate. But yeah, ALT6 is way better. Bait30 ^{Talk 2 me pls?} 22:56, 1 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
