Talk:Nebula Award for Best Novelette

Issue with entry
The entry for Ursula Le Guin's "New Atlantis" seems to have some formatting issues, but I cannot seem to figure it out; syntax within templates is not my strongest suite. Can somebody take a look at this? Regards, Vanamonde93 (talk) 22:43, 30 April 2016 (UTC)

Issue with list
The current year's Nebula Awards are dated 2016, matching the year the works were published. In this list, it shows 2017, and goes back a ways consecutively. Someone needs to backtrack and match up the correct years with the correct Nebula Award list on the Nebula Awards page at the SFWA site. I can come back and work on this eventually, but it'll be awhile before I get back to it, so please go ahead if you're here and want to work on it! Thanks, CiaraCat (talk) 22:34, 6 March 2017 (UTC)
 * Hi, I wrote these lists and keep them (and the Hugos, and the WFAs) up to date. You're not the first to comment on the dates- the (multi-year) discussion is at Talk:Nebula Award for Best Novel. To summarize, though: as the lists say, "In the following table, the years correspond to the date of the ceremony, rather than when the novelette was first published". This is because prior to 2009, to copy Locus's explanation, "a work published in July 1998 may gather recommendations until June 1999; if it gathers 10, it is placed on the preliminary ballot for awards given in 2000". So, by the sfwa.com numbering scheme, the "1999" awards are the ones given in 2000 for works in 1998-99. Numbering the table by the year of the ceremony also has the added benefit of keeping the Hugo and Nebula years together. I'm not opposed to it being changed- after all, sfwa does call the upcoming awards the 2016 ones- but please change them in all 5 lists + main article together. -- Pres N  22:57, 6 March 2017 (UTC)
 * Hi Pres, thank you so much! I will come join the larger discussion. I appreciate the comment, and the link! CiaraCat (talk) 00:13, 7 March 2017 (UTC)

Le Guin?
As per Le Guin's collection "No Time to Spare" her "The Diary of the Rose" won the Nebula, but she withdrew it from consideration as an objection to SFWA's expulsion of Stanislaw Lem. SFWA's page confirms the nomination and withdrawal. Any suggestions on how this should be presented here? DS (talk) 15:12, 30 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Hmmm. As a note the same way Lisa Tuttle's attempted withdrawal was at Nebula Award for Best Short Story, though the question is where to put the note link, since unlike Tuttle she doesn't have a line in the 1975 awards to put it... maybe just on the year number itself? However it's done it needs to be also done on Hugo Award for Best Novel and Best Short Story for the two that withdrew over the puppy campaigns in 2015. Regardless, do you have a page number in No Time to Spare for that reference? Since the SFWA link doesn't give a reason why she withdrew I'll want to reference the book as well. -- Pres N  17:38, 30 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Forgot the ping: . I've added the note, it just needs the book reference. -- Pres N  19:36, 30 July 2018 (UTC)
 * p 60-61 (the book is a collection of her blog posts; this was "A Much-Needed Literary Award", from January 2013). DS (talk) 21:40, 30 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Should we note that she said she won the award? DS (talk) 22:40, 9 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Ah, yes, we should, I just found the blog post and I see how she could "withdraw" a winner. Updated. -- Pres N  23:29, 9 August 2018 (UTC)
