Talk:Lists of awards

message: This page probably needs some rationalisation, or soon someone will add Bronze swimming medal.
:unless this actually links to an article listing all or most of the decorated ... It would be nice to have that for at least one or two of the "British and Commonwealth". Otherwise it might be preferable to detail the system elsewhere.
Note: The "British and Commonwealth" are now at British and Commonwealth orders and decorations Docu 09:12 Feb 23, 2003 (UTC)
Just added Balzan Prize, reference link at , prize winners at 
I added because I saw some articles had dead links to Balzan, and I added a link from Michel Mayor. And agree about rationalisation, page is quite big, Nobel Peace is duplicated, maybe split into International awards (Nobel, etc) and the rest? Or split off entertainment/sports?-Wikibob | Talk 00:54, 2004 Apr 3 (UTC)
I wasn't sure whether to add the National Medal of Technology (awarded by the   United States of America) to the Technology section or the section for the individual country. --WhiteDragon 02:36, 30 Apr 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: I wouldn't move anything to Categories until the categories are all sorted out. Right now there's a still mess with the heirarchies and conventions of lists, they have not yet settled to the point that they can replace any of the lists that have been carefully constructed here over time. You could start building a parallel category that would in effect mirror this list, but I wouldn't delete any content from the list. --Woggly 15:08, 21 Jun 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: As it isn't alphabetical, it's a bit hard to make into a category. I agree with Woogly that it may be   preferable to build categories for some of the lists expanding :Category:Lists rather than to replace the page. -- User:Docu

I noticed that the "Searle Scholarship Program"  is not listed under Science and Tech awards. Can someone please add it?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Vtraja (talk • contribs) 11:52, 5 January 2009 (UTC)

message: Does anyone feel this page is far too big?  Shouldn't it be split up into like different categories: sports prizes, music etc on different pages?  Mandel 09:28, Jul 28, 2004 (UTC)
:no, not yet. Jay 10:40, 28 Jul 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: yes, I do.  I believe countries could be grouped into continents.  That would make the Table of Contents shorter. Wout Perquin - April 28, 2012  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.132.117.239 (talk) 11:27, 28 April 2012 (UTC)

text: I couldn't agree more; it would be better served to split the page up into smaller lists of awards, such as a List of scientific awards. That's just my two cents, though. Hsh8 (talk) 20:59, 17 June 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Page is too big!

message: I will split off the Science and Technology awards into a separate article entitled Science and Technology Awards at the end of January 2018 unless there is a howl of protest or an administrative veto. The existed section heading will remain in this article with a link to the new article. This of course is standard procedure when an article grows too big.

thread_title: Pending Article Split

message: This page needs a separate Economics section - classification of prizes under General Science and Maths are unnecessary!
Also - perhaps this needs to be initially divided under the same basic categorisation as is set by the Nobel prizes Just a thought  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.248.129.115 (talk) 22:57, 12 February 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Economics 

message: I removed the external links section, as the only potentially pertinent link(s) was to: The International Congress of Distinguished Awards (ICDA) Official website (and the provisional 2006 list)
The only mention I could find of this organization (in a brief googling) was in this book, and their main index page hasn't been updated since 2003. 
Just noting here. -- Quiddity (talk) 18:39, 27 June 2010 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: As has been discussed here, this article is insanely big. This makes it very difficult for readers to navigate (even scrolling through the table of contents is a chore). We need to do what other huge lists have done, and turn this into a list of lists.  e.g. Lists of video games, Lists of magazines, Lists of rivers, etc. This has already been done for Science and technology (hat tip to User:Plucas58 for that; he is a hero). Now we just need to split the other major sections into separate list articles. Colin M (talk) 02:51, 11 July 2019 (UTC)
thread_title:  Split and rename to Lists of awards 

message: I just removed all 62,566 bytes of the "Military and patriotic honors and medals" section, and turned it into a pointer to List of military decorations, as part of the larger goal of eventually turning this into a list of lists of awards, rather than a list of awards. I've tried to make sure that the content at List of military decorations was at parity with the section before deleting it. Three removed chunks of content which are not reflected at List of military decorations: 1) many red links 2) extensive listing of non-governmental (or quasi-governmental) awards in the "India" subsection. Many of these would not be appropriate to include in Orders, decorations, and medals of India. 3) The "United Nations" subsection. re 1), I don't think uncited redlinks without context are of much value to the reader. 2) and 3) weren't really appropriate to include in a section called "Military and patriotic honors and medals" in the first place. However, it's possible they could be salvaged and used for separate articles such as List of prizes, medals, and awards in India (analogous to existing articles like List of prizes, medals, and awards in Sri Lanka, List of prizes, medals, and awards in Singapore), and List of awards presented by the United Nations Colin M (talk) 20:10, 19 October 2019 (UTC)
thread_title:  Nuking of "Military and patriotic honors and medals" section 

message: I have taken a shot at splitting this list into sub-lists, then expanding the sub-lists using the category structure. The master list, large as it was, had only a small sample of awards in each area. There is still more to do to complete the sub-lists, which should roughly match the category structure, and to clean up some of the categorization, e.g. award winners categorized as awards. But there is a maintenance problem. In my view, every article in an award sub-category should be in a list of awards that owns that sub-category, and vice-versa.  An award could be in more than one award sub-category, and a list could own more than one sub-category. Is there any mechanized way to audit this? Aymatth2 (talk) 17:50, 28 December 2019 (UTC)
