WP:COI

Major contributor appears to be on the staff of the library. Best to be open about this and follow WP:COI to the letter. Logical Cowboy (talk) 16:17, 8 March 2013 (UTC)

Question has been resolved. – S. Rich (talk) 17:24, 19 September 2013 (UTC)

Article Improvements

I figured it's about time we started to make concrete suggestions on how to make substantive improvements to the article. To get us started, there are some existing sources in the article that are underutilized at the moment:

• "Pritzker Military Library offers oral histories, speakers" from the Tribune has a great deal of exhibition information and is fairly comprehensive useful to highlighting the museum part of the institution.
• Hamburg Chicago News provides some useful background that can be incorporated into a section on the institution's history.

There are some sources that have not yet been incorporated as well:

• "Holt Oral History Program helps preserve veterans' memories" from the Tribune provides a lot of in-depth coverage of the oral history program, which we can expand here.
• The Chicago Tribune Guide to Chicago has an entry on the Library, providing some interesting bits about its rare books that are worth discussing.

Anyway, I'd like to invite folks to consider reading these over and making suggestions for additions or revisions. I'd also like to invite folks from the GLAM Project page who are not volunteering or interning at the library directly (in light of WP:COI concerns), namely Srich32977 and Rjensen, to evaluate these suggestions and implement them as appropriate. Rich and Rjensen, if you are are willing to do this, please let me know below. I, JethroBT ^{drop me a line} 22:30, 6 December 2013 (UTC)

Programs section

• I guess I can get the ball rolling as well. I've started my own draft of the page here User:I JethroBT/PMML. I'd like to propose changes to the article's Programs section as I have in my version of the article. All I've basically done is find sources to show that the library has hosted many guest speakers such as authors, historians, and veterans, using this article and some records of the events from the library's website. This seems relatively uncontroversial to me, but if there are objections from outside editors, please let me know (pinging Srich32977 and Rjensen for review). I, JethroBT ^{drop me a line} 21:26, 11 December 2013 (UTC)

looks very good! Rjensen (talk) 09:24, 13 December 2013 (UTC)

OK, I'll add this in. I, JethroBT ^{drop me a line} 15:31, 13 December 2013 (UTC)

Literature Award

Is it worth keeping Pritzker Literature Award for Lifetime Achievement in Military Writing as a separate article? There does not seem to be much there that is not also here. If we do, should we remove the list of honourees from this article? Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 21:58, 4 June 2019 (UTC)

The 2019 Pritzker Literature Award was announced today. John Morrow, Jr. is the 2019 recipient. See: [6], Military historian John H. Morrow wins $100000 award, and [7] for starters. TeriEmbrey (talk) 17:59, 9 July 2019 (UTC)
