Would somebody care to explain why this list article is illustrated with a picture of Peter Watts? Yes, I know he won the award one year, but that can be said about every other winner. NewYorkActuary (talk) 23:38, 7 October 2015 (UTC)Reply

Because some people think that a list with a giant table really, really needs one (free) image to go with it, and even though I disagree I can't muster up the effort to either fight to take it down every time or go and find enough free images to decorate the list with an entire column of images. If you can find it in your heart to do either, feel free with my blessing, for whatever that's worth (nothing). Graphic story and fan artist have one too. --PresN 01:41, 8 October 2015 (UTC)Reply
Yikes! And I thought someone might have had a silly reason for adding it! (Just to be clear -- I'm joking here.) I'll take a shot at removing it. Wish me luck. NewYorkActuary (talk) 02:14, 8 October 2015 (UTC)Reply

Format of titles

Is there any significance as to why some titles in the list are in italics, some have quotation marks and some are just plain ? -- Beardo (talk) 22:47, 21 June 2022 (UTC)Reply

Stories which appeared in magazines or collections are in double quotes. Stories which appeared standalone are in italics. Italics are typical for novels and some novellas, but at novelette length, which is fairly short, it's only for works that have been published electronically. There shouldn't be any (and I don't see any) works in plain text. Dan Bloch (talk) 23:07, 21 June 2022 (UTC)Reply
MOS:TITLES talks about this is terms of "major" and "minor" works, but says more or less the same thing, except for the bit about works published electronically. Dan Bloch (talk) 23:15, 21 June 2022 (UTC)Reply
Also, to be specific, in this list it's also based on what the source (the Hugo list in this case) is formatting them as. --PresN 09:26, 22 June 2022 (UTC)Reply
