Talk:List of awards and nominations received by J. K. Rowling

Carnegie
not sure what to make of this. On p. 240, Smith (2002) says she was "short-listed three times for the Carnegie Medal, the most prestigious accolade of children’s literature". We have Carnegie twice. Sandy Georgia (Talk)  21:53, 15 January 2022 (UTC)
 * The same page (240) summarizes that Philosopher's Stone won 21 awards in four years, in case you can make use of that. Sandy Georgia  (Talk)  21:56, 15 January 2022 (UTC)
 * I think Smith is mistaken; this post from the ALA mentions only 2 Carnegie noms. I can't find a nomination for either Chamber of Secrets or Goblet of Fire, the only other books Smith could have been referring to.
 * I've been noticing some errors about Rowling's awards, so I'll see if I can verify that number (21 awards) before using it. E.g. British Council, which I'd expect to be a reliable source, seems to say Rowling won the Carnegie, which is certainly wrong. Olivaw-Daneel (talk) 22:40, 15 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Messes everywhere I look :) Thanks for looking, Sandy Georgia  (Talk)  22:54, 15 January 2022 (UTC)

I see you hard at work fine-tuning this article. Kirk has a list of Awards in an appendix, beginning on p. 120. You can check it out through archive.org ; if it’s not available, ping me and tell me to logout! . Sandy Georgia (Talk)  16:36, 20 January 2022 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the link! This is very useful. Unlike the others Kirk lists nominations as well. Olivaw-Daneel (talk) 16:49, 20 January 2022 (UTC)
 * You are really moving along here; nice article! You may want to have  or  have a look. Sandy Georgia  (Talk)  18:33, 20 January 2022 (UTC)
 * This is coming along nicely. Assuming we're sticking with "notable awards" only, I think there are still some that were on the last version on her mainpage that could be brought over. Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 19:04, 20 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Outside of the last tranche of awards that Barkeep mentions this looks FLC ready. The sourcing is tight and that is the hardest thing for these kinds of lists. Great work! -- Guerillero  Parlez Moi 12:57, 21 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Thank you both for the comments. I'm mulling how to categorize that last set (perhaps a miscellaneous section); I'll try FLC. Olivaw-Daneel (talk) 01:54, 22 January 2022 (UTC)

To add ?
Sandy Georgia (Talk)  16:17, 22 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Russell Prize nomination
 * Robert F. Kennedy (returned)


 * Added the second. The first doesn't seem notable (awarded by one person and likely a spoof of this Russell Prize). Olivaw-Daneel (talk) 10:17, 23 January 2022 (UTC)


 * PEN America free speech award? NPR had it. PEN description. BBC says it’s prestigious. Sandy Georgia  (Talk)  15:40, 23 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Added. Olivaw-Daneel (talk) 17:32, 23 January 2022 (UTC)
 * I think you’re ready for WP:FLC (please ping me when you go there). Sandy Georgia (Talk)  17:49, 23 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Okay, I think I'm done adding awards. Does the categorization work? I'll nominate soonish after a double-check. Olivaw-Daneel (talk) 06:40, 24 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Looking at the FLC page, small tables seem to be discouraged (or even deprecated, per some reviewers). I'll combine some of them. Olivaw-Daneel (talk) 08:48, 24 January 2022 (UTC)
