The result of the move request was: Move. I had moved them by year to avoid any further mistakes, and have fixed Template:Australian Film Institute Awards. Kilo T 21:16, 13 June 2011 (UTC)Reply

51st Australian Film Institute Awards → 52nd Australian Film Institute Awards — Relisted Alpha Quadrant ^talk 21:51, 25 May 2011 (UTC) Reply

It was previously listed on Wikipedia that the first awards were presented in 1959 when they were really presented in 1958. Therefore the ordinal numbers for each year are incorrect. Sources:

Why don't we title them by year?--Kotniski (talk) 11:43, 2 June 2011 (UTC)Reply
- An equally valid suggestion. Personally I think either way would be fine. Jenks24 (talk) 12:25, 2 June 2011 (UTC)Reply
  - It's just that we seem to know for sure which years they took place in, but there seems to be some doubt (and a need for original research) about the ordinal numbers. This makes me think they aren't usually referred to by their ordinal numbers, so using the years will be both more meaningful to readers and less open to doubt.--Kotniski (talk) 14:37, 2 June 2011 (UTC)Reply
    - Using the year would probably be a better option. By the way, this article talks about the award ceremony of 2009, but the template links here from 2008. Whichever the new title of these pages, someone will have to go through any links pointing here and see if they refer to the correct year's article. Jafeluv (talk) 11:19, 3 June 2011 (UTC)Reply
