Talk:Samuel Eliot Morison Award for Naval Literature

Dubious
The Quiet Warrior is often mentioned in sources as having received the "Rear Admiral Samuel Eliot Morison Award for Distinguished Contribution to Naval Literature" .. this is the only book to be awarded with this expanded name, and since the book was published in 1974, there is no evident year it might have been awarded (the award was created in 1982). It was reprinted in 1987, but there are already awards given in those years for other books. As such, this award is either a mistake (sources got it wrong it never won), or it was given as a special prize at some point. -- Green  C  14:43, 24 December 2017 (UTC)

Samuel Eliot Morison Award (disambiguation)
- I've been continually reverting both of you for making a bad redirect to Samuel Eliot Morison Award (disambiguation) which is obviously unnecessary. Please explain. -- Green  C  14:38, 15 April 2019 (UTC)


 * , I should have looked at the page history before I made that last edit; for that I apologize. The Samuel Eliot Morison Award to Samuel Eliot Morison Award (disambiguation) is not a 'bad redirect'. According to WP:HOWTODAB, "link to the title that includes the text "(disambiguation)", even if that is a redirect". This is to make it clear that the link to a disambiguation page is deliberate. I disguised the '(disambiguation)' part because I assumed that you didn't want it there. Strictly speaking, the link should be in a See also section rather than as a hatnote since the title wouldn't easily be confused with other Samuel Eliot Morison Awards (WP:NOTAMB).

 * Oh ok, I didn't know that. Thanks for the explanation. I like the hatnote with so many Samuel Eliot Morison Awards, it is confusing (anyway I was confused so made these articles and the dab page to clarify). --  Green  C  17:24, 15 April 2019 (UTC)
