Robert A.: I did my best to write a template form for missing Grammys.. I have used the 1995 Grammy as a model...
Since some categories did not exist in 1962, please modify accordingly...
I did something simple. Just enter the data after the :
I have seen that in some Grammys the category itself is between [] and it creates a page... Is that really necessary? Are we down the line actually going to take the information from each Grammy and write it down as a page?
Ex: Song of the year 1962
1963 1964 etc.
I wonder..
Well.. All things considered I will take the 1971 template..
Please fill in the information and delete the categories that were not yet established in 1962.. Thanks!
Hello user 152.163.252.34, perhaps you can explain your reasoning behind editing this article here! You are annoying some wikipedians by not telling us how you plan to improve the article! Perhaps you can paste a copy of your proposed template here. Poor Yorick
Hello Poor Yorick.. Before I start explaining my reasoning, could I ask you to help me download and install the Wikipedia software on a server? I would like to edit the Quebec Wiki.. 4 of my friends tried already (4 PHP experts!). They all failed because mainly MYSQL could not install (after they solved all the other PHP permission problems!).. My E-mail is Pnb12@aol.com; my aim: pnb120 Thanks!

Regarding the template, I was trying to put a basic template in all the missing Grammy Awards years so all the user(s) who knew the info had to do was to enter the winners after the ** and to delete the categories that did not exist at the time (I finally chose to put the 2003 template)...
This did not work for 1962 (because of editing conflicts; it created a mumbo-jumbo and I instructed the user where to erase) but it did work with 1963 and 1964... Perhaps you guys didn't think it was a good idea since you erased it for 1963 and 1964...
Anyway, this is the template; if you think it is a good idea, I will paste it in all the years with no info... Let me know what you think...

Hi Sansse! Thanks for your reply and also thanks for entering the 1962 data.. I will leave the pages blank as instructed.
Someone wrote in one of the Grammy Articles (at the very top) that the Ceremony was televised coast to coast.. I think that is a great idea! If you could also mention that info it would be nice...
I understand there will also be a page with precise Grammy requests such as: Grammy Best song of the year.. So there will be a lot of copy and paste to do down the line...
Finally, the Wiki software serves its purpose very well ..But not as a forum... Wikipedia needs a real forum.. Check out a great forum (also called Bulletin Board) at: http://phpbb.com/phpBB/
It is free but a bit difficult to install. Some programmer is willing to install it for a fee.. I am willing to pay him.. But at the end of the day, you will see how great having a real forum is... I can have it set up and if you guys don't like it I will have it removed.. This is not demanding in terms of space: PHPBB has a few hundred thousand messages on ... 60 megs!!!!!
Since I don't know precisely what your needs are, I would need someone to help me install the categories... Maybee you!!!! (I read you bio; very well written.. And you are pretty brave to mention your depression.. Heck! Science has lost you but lexicography has gained you!!!! Too bad for science! lol)
Let me know about the forum..
So long..
Robert A.
