Talk:Stonewall Book Award

replies: text: Yes ,I agree.It is possible to change all these red links to black links, by deleting the wiki-mark-up codes for internal links.  Wikitext language or wiki markup is a markup language that offers a simplified alternative to HTML and is used to write pages in wiki websites such as Wikipedia. So wiki-mark-up should be removed  where the internal link leads you to a page that does not yet exist. Some of the Stonewall Book Award recipients of recent years are notable enough to have their own Wikipedia articles.  Red links for authors could be left in place even though they are ugly because one day, some day soon, I hope, there will be an article written for each and every one of these Stonewall Book Award recipients. I would prefer to change the book-titles to do without the wiki-mark-up if the book title does not yet have an existing page.  I found several red links in this article. If their subjects are notable, articles about them should be created, but if not, the red links should be removed.217.83.161.246 (talk) 17:06, 16 July 2008 (UTC)
replies: text:  Also, not highly important, but the Non-fiction "word wrap" in the first column looks messy. I tried a number of things - all unsuccesful. (e.g. Removing the "-" just gets the whole of "Nonfiction" on the next line!) Pdfpdf 05:48, 9 June 2007 (UTC)

message: Currently the article says: When first given in 1971 the award was called the Gay Book Award. Over the years the name has changed:
*Gay and Lesbian Book Award (1987-1989) 
*Gay, Lesbian, and Bisexual Book Award (1994-1998) 
*Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, and Transgendered Book Award (1999-2001)
In 2002 the award was made under its current name which derives from the 1969 Stonewall riots.
However, http://www.ala.org/ala/glbtrt/stonewall/stonewallbook.htm implies that:
*from 1998 to 2001 (inclusive) they were called "The Stonewall Book Awards", and 
*from 2002 they have been called the "Stonewall Book Awards- Israel Fishman Non-Fiction Award" and the "Stonewall Book Awards- Barbara Gittings Literature Award".  i.e. They were awarded by the GLBTRT, but they were never actually called the GLBT Book Awards. Can anyone throw some light on this?  Thanks. Pdfpdf 06:26, 9 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  Yes, I agree, the bit about the Barbara Gittings Literature Award and the Israel Fishman Non-Fiction Award is very confusing.  I can't tell if these are separate awards or alternate names for the Stonewall Book Awards.  If someone who knows something about this can re-write this section of the article, it would be an improvement.--ErinHowarth (talk) 21:59, 7 March 2009 (UTC)
replies: text:  I found this on the ALA website:  Originally a grassroots acknowledgment honoring hallmark works in GLBT publishing, the Gay Book Award (as it was originally known) became an official American Library Association award in 1986. The next year, its name was changed to the Gay and Lesbian Book Award. Beginning in 1990, the Book Award expanded into two categories: nonfiction and literature. In 1994, the name changed once more to the Gay, Lesbian, and Bisexual Book Award. In 1999, when the Gay, Lesbian, and Bisexual Task Force became the Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, and Transgendered Round Table, the name changed yet again to the Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, and Transgendered Book Award. In 2002, the name changed to the Stonewall Book Award-Barbara Gittings Literature Award and the Stonewall Book Award-Israel Fishman Non-Fiction Award.  I tried to add a little to the article.  --ErinHowarth (talk) 22:41, 7 March 2009 (UTC)
