Talk:Rome Prize

Yaddo
Is this related to Yaddo? Badagnani (talk) 08:29, 11 June 2008 (UTC)


 * To the best of my knowledge, no. The AAR likes to talk a lot about its early history, and I don't remember Yaddo ever coming up. -- Michael Scott Cuthbert (talk) 20:37, 16 June 2010 (UTC)

Lists of Fellows

 * ok i added links to comprehensive lists, i believe the "2011" people are really 2010. Pohick2 (talk) 17:16, 8 June 2010 (UTC)


 * (Thanks for adding the lists), but in answer to this speciffNo -- the problem is that the 2011 fellows are announced in early 2010 (the residency year begins in the fall but the academic class is always the following year when the Fellows "graduate"). Somewhere around 2009 the dates on the subpages get mixed up; I know all the music fellows and they're listed with the right year at least until 2008, but after that they seem incorrect (Keeril Makan is definitely 2009 and Don Byron is definitely 2010, for instance).  The other issue with the lists is that they conflate Fellows (=Rome Prize winners; people generally in the earlier stages of their careers) with Residents (selected by invitation, usually in later stages; they are technically not Fellows of the AAR nor Rome Prize winners [though several residents were former fellows]).  There are also Visiting Artists (famously including Leonard Nimoy as a photographer) and Visiting Scholars who tend not to appear on any official AAR lists.  Thanks! -- Michael Scott Cuthbert (talk) 20:36, 16 June 2010 (UTC) (FAAR '05)

David Charles Randolph
i believe that David Charles Randolph (1996 musical composition) is really David Charles Randolph Rakowski, and i will change to David Rakowski per, but if you know otherwise please change back. Accotink2 talk 00:07, 23 July 2010 (UTC)

Fellows here
Hi all, the addition of Fellows lists here to the main page is getting a little out of hand, in my opinion -- is the point of listing fellows here to eventually duplicate the entire lists of fellows on the sub pages? My suggestion is to have a single paragraph of the 10-20 most prominent people ever to win the prize and the link prominently to the sub lists. If some disciplines want their own comprehensive lists, they can be sub pages as well. As it is, there are whole disciplines (Renaissance, Modern Italian Studies, etc.) that have no listings on the main page, prominent winners in other disciplines not listed (e.g., Anthony Doerr who just won the Pulitzer Prize, and then other disciplines where it looks like everyone who has got the prize is being added. A lot of recentism too. Thanks! -- Michael Scott Cuthbert (talk) 15:43, 21 April 2015 (UTC)


 * I am going to be bold and remove all -- there are comprehensive links on the other pages where they belong. -- Michael Scott Cuthbert (talk) 20:11, 18 October 2015 (UTC)
