Category talk:Kate Greenaway Medal winners

Coverage

There are 20 pages in the category as I create its Talk page. That constitutes incomplete coverage: we do have biographies of several Medal-winning illustrators, which are not in the category and may not cover the Medal.

Indeed, the category is new this hour and it includes only those biographies that I have previously revised to cover the Medal. They are all 14 winners of two Medals, all illustrators of the 50th Anniversary Top Ten medalists --only 17 distinct illustrators in those two groups-- and three others.

These 20 illustrators (and pages in the category) account for 34 of the 55 Medals and 37 of the 59 medal-winning works through 2011/2012. (Two books were cited four times and three of their illustrators are covered here.)

21 winning illustrators and 22 cited books are not in the category. According to our Table of winners, 11 of those illustrators have biographies (bluelinks) and 10 do not (redlinks). --P64 (talk) 01:57, 9 July 2012 (UTC)

Update. Two weeks later there are 31 pages in the category, which is complete coverage of our "biographies" of Medal-winning illustrators. More completely, the category members now account for:

• 31 of 41 winning illustrators
• 45 of 55 Medals
• 49 of 59 winning works (two books were cited four times)
• 16 of 31 "Highly Commended" works, 1974-2002
• 30 of 68 "Commended" works, 1959-2002

Ten illustrators/Medals/works are WP:redlinks.

Ten redlink illustrators won the Medals dated 1957, 1961, 1972, 1985, 1986, 1988, 1990, 2009, 2011, and 2012. None of them was Highly Commended (1974-2002).

All 31 biographies fully cover the facts of Greenaway Medals and commendations, and I have systematically revised them all in several other ways. For example, section heading "(Selected) works", not "bibliography"; See also Portal:Children's literature, often using {{Portal bar}}; External links {{Authority control}}.

Many of them have been improved systematically in other ways, and I have probably rewritten all at least in the vicinity of Greenaway achievements.

Books and series articles. For these 31 illustrators who won Medals, I have covered the Medals and commendations in all books and series articles about the winning/commended works (not many). For more information see Category talk: Kate Greenaway Medal winning works (soon).

Nationality. Many of these illustrators are called "English" in categories and "British" in {infobox writer}, or "English" in the lead sentence and "British" in categories. Although I have attended to every lead sentence, infobox, and categories list, and tweaked almost every one, I have done essentially nothing about nationality except add British or English in the lead description when there is no inconsistency elsewhere. (She is a British illustrator if the article in all its parts never calls her English.) --P64 (talk) 16:42, 23 July 2012 (UTC)

Two years later, with 57 Medals and 61 winning works thru 2014:

There have been 43 Medal-winning illustrators ... 11 redlink illustrators ... 32 biographies now in the category represent complete coverage. --P64 (talk) 18:44, 30 June 2014 (UTC)
