Rachel Helps (BYU) There are at least three sources here that are blogs -- I'm not sure these are really useful. Who cares that a blogger reviewing a college play wants to know about the relationship characters in that play have with Christ in heaven? I don't think the information is crucial to this article, and I'd like to remove it. Since it's been slotted at DYK, I didn't want to do it without discussing first. -- valereee ( talk) 17:52, 3 November 2019 (UTC)
Hey, Rachel Helps (BYU)---I was just looking at something and while the source says otherwise, it's pretty debatable that Mel's the "first woman to receive three" AML Awards when she got her third in 2014.
Ally Condie also received her third in 2014. Angela Hallstrom got her third in 2010 though one of these was for "Service to AML" and not creative work. P. G. Karamesines her third in 2006, though, which seems pretty definitive.
Oh! Still looking and Margaret Young got her third in 2003 and Terry Tempest Williams, in 1998 (thought her third is an honorary lifetime membership).
Emma Lou Thayne's third was in 1989. Linda Sillitoe, 1983. Louise Plummer in 2001. Anne Perry in 2007 (with a Smith-Pettit).
Okay. I should have finished looking before I started typing. I know the post said she was first, but she clearly was not. I'm removing that part. It does make me wonder whether she was the youngest, either.... Thmazing ( talk) 02:35, 5 April 2022 (UTC)
