1949/1950. After reading next-day coverage in the New York Times, I have added the 1949/1950 winner and five honorable mention with a paragraph of explanation. Otherwise I have tweaked the one-line introduction to the list in progress, which now reads "four finalists (from 1987) or other runners up". The article and that one-liner will need amendment, eventually but it would be premature to go further now.
Talk:National Book Award is the best place for discussion of the general issue (how and how soon to amend the texts). For the moment I am only securing a starting point for the current series lists. (At Fiction and Poetry, it's simple: there was one winner without honorable mentions.) -- P64 ( talk) 16:28, 9 January 2012 (UTC)
This hour I explained the 1982 to 1984 transition from April/May recognition for books published during the preceding calendar year (1949/50 to 1982/83) to November recognition for books published during the award year --roughly: then November to October; today December to November. (Evidently, books published during most of 1983 were never considered for American Book Awards, as they were called at the time.)
At the same time, I entered the winner and finalists, from the same source --1984 only. -- P64 ( talk) 01:40, 31 January 2012 (UTC)
In User space I now have a numerical table chronological overview of categories, User:P64/FSF/National Book Award#Numbers and Categories overview table. As I write, it is is complete for 1950 to 2011.
That is followed by an incomplete draft table of 1964–1983 Nonfiction winners and finalists ( link), which tries a couple of different styles. The table rows for Autobiography, Biography, and/or History are complete (including wiki-markup) and they share one consistent color tint --shared because NBAwards have grouped those subcategories together in different ways. Rows for other nonfiction subcategories are empty but they have different tints, which shows what I have in mind.
Recently I rearranged the list of NBA winners in previous categories, List of winners of the National Book Award#Previous categories: 2012-01-05, group multiple previous categories for History and (Auto)biography; Science, Philosophy, and Religion; Children's Literature. That super-group for History and (Auto)biography is the one completed and commonly tinted in the draft table. -- P64 ( talk) 19:20, 24 February 2012 (UTC)
For 1984 to 2005, the following subtitles are uncertain. I checked two or more online dealers (where Google Books may be a dealer) and they do not clearly show me which is the first edition subtitle. Some are internally inconsistent: a heading gives one subtitle; a front cover image clearly shows another.
These books all have U.S. publishers, so the Library of Congress may be a decisive source. -- P64 ( talk) 15:45, 4 April 2012 (UTC)
Everywhere under Category:National Book Award, where I have spent many hours this winter, my wiki-markup of author names and book titles incorporates some check of every one. When I am done, every blue link has been confirmed; I believe that its target is the listed author or book. Every redlink or no-link name or title has been confirmed; I believe we have no article on the author or book (or the book series, if any).
When I remember my resolution, edit summary "naive markup" indicates that I have added wikilinks without doing such work (a bad practice that is wiki-common, so to speak). Otherwise this work has been done, although I may neglect to say "complete markup". For example working on this page a couple days ago, I complete such work one day after naive markup.
Commonly i use a hidden comment to indicate that I believe we have no article on a person or a book; always i do so when i have fix a false bluelink. Example:
<!-- not [[The Course of Empire]] series of paintings -->
.(As I write, that is the only one that survives here. GreenCardamom has deleted the others and they may be contrary to policy afaik. That in turn has prompted me to explain in Talk space.) -- P64 ( talk) 17:23, 4 April 2012 (UTC)
Are these winners listed elsewhere on Wikipedia, or just not yet entered in the article? I just removed the "incomplete-list" template, but maybe too soon? Green Cardamom ( talk) 16:20, 28 April 2012 (UTC)
