Hey, I'm not very good at wikipedia yet, but I was wondering why the Newbery and Caldecott prizes are in a different order. :) Could someone please fix it? Kimuchi 09:36, 15 May 2007 (UTC)
See #Sortable columns below. -- P64 ( talk) 21:16, 4 February 2013 (UTC)
Isn't the Caldecott Medal awarded to the author and to the illustrator if applicable that particular year? For example, 1988: Owl Moon, illustrated by John Schoenherr; text: Jane Yolen. Maybe we need a column for illustrators as well as authors.
But, shouldn't the list be sortable by LAST name? We don't need to change it, just discuss.-- Knulclunk ( talk) 21:02, 10 February 2008 (UTC)
Four years later, I say good job! Skimming the columns as we now sort them, I find that Title is ok; some Illustrators should be checked ...
Thus I see need for three fixes and one further investigation. -- P64 ( talk) 02:02, 4 February 2013 (UTC)
I had something of an epiphany today about this list. I wrote before that these books are shelved at the library by author, but I've been searching for them every week at my local library by illustrator. Of course a lot of the illustrators are the authors, so its taken me a few weeks to find the error in my system. Anyway, I now see a need for adding an author column (like the Caldecott Honor page.) -- ErinHowarth ( talk) 07:44, 8 March 2009 (UTC)
Year | Illustrator | Title | Author | |
---|---|---|---|---|
1938 | Dorothy P. Lathrop | Animals of the Bible | Helen Dean Fish, compiler& | Medal |
1938 | Robert Lawson | Four and Twenty Blackbirds | Helen Dean Fish, editor^ | honor |
1938 | Boris Artzybasheff | Seven Simeons: A Russian Tale | Artzybasheff, reteller‡ | honor |
1939 | Thomas Handforth | Mei Li | Handforth | Medal |
1939 | Wanda Gág | Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs | Gág, translator of Brothers Grimm | honor |
I propose moving Caldecot Honor page to here, primarily to make this page more parallel with the Newbery page but also because I think that has become the general standard on most award pages. - ErinHowarth ( talk) 07:51, 21 February 2009 (UTC)
I see this was discussed about a year ago. I still think that the merger makes sense as it would better parallel the Newbery Medal and with the sortable table the page would not be unwieldy. Barkeep49 ( talk) 20:08, 25 February 2010 (UTC)
Support, of course. Reywas92 Talk 22:52, 25 February 2010 (UTC)
Sure, I support the merge as long as the table clearly shows that there is only one Medal awarded each year and that the award goes only to the illustrator. - Josette ( talk) 15:05, 26 February 2010 (UTC)
Seems like everyone (at least everyone who cared enough to respond) agrees with the merge. Would someone like to tackle the table and merge? Barkeep49? - Josette ( talk) 07:10, 11 March 2010 (UTC)
Since everyone seemed to support the idea, I went ahead and merged them. 12.6.58.2 ( talk) 20:13, 28 June 2011 (UTC)
who is the celdocot metal named after? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.29.17.80 ( talk) 21:13, 2 February 2013 (UTC)
I'm aiming to bring this up to featured list status in the near future (i.e. relatively shortly after Newbery Medal passes). Noting here any sources I run across which would be helpful in this article:
