Talk:Nestlé Smarties Book Prize

message: Today I was trying to settle a debate with some colleagues about how books get big (is it organic word of mouth vs tastemakers). The smarties book award was interesting/relevant as its awarded by children. I wanted to correlate the awards the Harry Potter books got relatively to when they were reviewed by the big newspapers. It was hard to do that because the wikipedia entry didn't provide the actual dates. I found this website suggesting that the award was awarded in December based on books released up to October. Would this be valuable to include?

In which age categories, if any, were the author and illustrator equally rewarded or recognised? --P64 (talk) 14:49, 26 June 2012 (UTC)

message: Reading one book article or author biography today, I noticed that the Booktrust website has been redesigned so 
that countless(?) links may need update. We provide one dead link to Booktrust in this article.
A single address now returns both "Nestlé Children’s Book Prize 2007", a top page for the 2007 prizes, and "About the Nestlé Children’s Book Prize" which incorporates a complete list of winners. 
One other annual top page is available, 2006. --P64 (talk) 21:52, 16 October 2012 (UTC)
replies: text:  The former is no longer available at Internet Archive (nor any booktrust.org.uk pages, if i understand correctly). The latter remains available so I added that link to [ref name=end]. --P64 (talk) 00:23, 3 July 2014 (UTC)

* Yearwise list of Nestlé Smarties Book Prize Winners - See more at: http://awardsandwinners.com/category/nestl%C3%A9-smarties-book-prize/2006/#sthash.WKLcAkO1.dpuf
With reference to our list, this database evidently identifies all Gold winners, all Special winners, and Silver or Bronze runners-up (as "Nominations") except 1996 and 2007. It does not identify Overall winners, pre-1996, or illustrators, or publishers.

message: Today I rewrote and expanded the first of two paragraphs --now the first three of four paragraphs. Numerous COMMENTS (hidden in the code) indicate how I would do a better job with more information; some may be useful to another editor with access to contemporary data. (Such as a typical About the award, History of the award, or complete list of Previous silver/bronze runners up.)
See the preceding note on Archives. --P64 (talk) 20:39, 17 December 2012 (UTC)
