Talk:Kennedy Center Honors

message: There needs to be a larger section on the criticism of these "honors."  Only one columnist is quoted (it is a good quote, though). So much has been said, panning the Kennedy Center Honors, that this section needs to be expanded to reflect the general attitude. Readers of this article, perhaps knowing nothing of the KCH, might think, from reading the article, that the honors are more prestigious than they really are.

thread_title: More Criticism

message: Some of the details included now seem not to warrant inclusion, such as the Paul McCartney story (he was busy that weekend) and others.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Avocats (talk • contribs) 07:39, 27 December 2012 (UTC)
thread_title: Unnecessary/Unimportant Detail

message: Umm.  This page reads like a brochure, or a feature out of a "things to do this weekend" section of a newspaper rather than as an encyclopedia entry... 209.12.241.69 22:36, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

message: "Rich also questioned the selection process, suggesting that candidates such as John Cage, Orson Welles, Marlon Brando, and Bob Dylan had yet to be chosen because"
It says that Bob Dylan was honored in 1997.  What this written before that?  If so, I think this should be notated.  If not, I think a footnote should be added.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.230.156.229 (talk) 14:50, 14 March 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Bob Dylan 

message: It appears that the majority of the focus in the article is on tje 2009 honorees, with Bruce Springsteen in particular. To complicate things further, the descriptions of the part each notable person played on stage (specifically Ron Kovic are poorly written, and don't give the performers enough credit. --Leahtwosaints (talk) 06:29, 16 September 2010 (UTC)

thread_title:  Doris Day 

message: It's a limping article without addressing a subject which the reader obviously would wonder about: what's the story on the logotype and it's colors, in which all the recipients apparently are decked out when the gala is televised? I've assumed each one I've seen has represented an LGBT organization, before I knew more. Please explain/expand! --SergeWoodzing (talk) 20:32, 6 April 2016 (UTC)

thread_title: Considerable limp

message: The article already mentions trump lack of participation in the 2017 honors, but it does not mention their participation in the 2018 honors.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ap4lmtree2 (talk • contribs) 10:36, 3 July 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: Perhaps, if it can be reliably sourced, we should just add that the tradition where the President is expected to attend has been discontinued? --SergeWoodzing (talk) 18:04, 3 July 2019 (UTC)
