Talk:The King's Awards for Enterprise

message: I've started a navbox, which I think (if done right) would be far better than a single list (multiple lists, or a list of organizations who've won the award 3+ times, or something, might be a good idea).  We're dealing with literally thousands of recipients of a Queen's Award for Enterprise (and that's not even counting the individual person awards).  I've put inline comments in the article at various places.
I know next to nothing about this topic, and have nothing invested but hours of my time.  People more familiar with the topic: Would you help improve the list, the navbox, etc... in some way? --Formerly the IP-Address 24.22.227.53 (talk) 23:30, 27 May 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I've scraped the 2005-2009 winners from the QA website  and added them to the navbox template.  I'll have a think about what needs to be done with the rest of the article.Blakkandekka (talk) 09:58, 8 July 2009 (UTC)

message: The front page list of recipients now includes post-2006 winners that are also in the awards tables entries and is beginning to look a little like advertising.  I propose updating the winners table with any company missing, deleting the 'pre-2004' selected winners table and adding a little more detail about the awards.--Blakkandekka (talk) 10:53, 10 February 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Pre-2004 winners table 

message: Page 191 of my Lotus Elise owners manual makes the claim that Lotus was a recipient in 2002. The 2005 and 2006 Lotus Elises proudly display the Queens Award on the back window.
:From page 191 in the owner's manual:
:The Queen's Award for Enterprise is the highest honour that can be bestowed upon a British company and is the UK's top award for business performance. The award is given annually by Her Majesty The Queen and the winning companies hold it for five years.
:Group Lotus PLC and its staff were awarded The Queen's Award for Enterprise 2002 for the whole group's outstanding achievement in international trade. Lotus Cars has sold its prestigious sports car models into over 30 countries around the world and Lotus Engineering, which has been investing heavily in engine and chassis research, is regarded as one of the world's leading engineering consultancy groups.
:The Lotus Elise now proudly displays The Queen's Award logo on the rear window. This logo symbolises the achievements of Group Lotus over the last few years culminating in the company being given the Award in 2002 - the year of The Queen's Golden Jubilee.
:The Queen's Award scheme was introduced in 1966, originally as The Queen's Award to Industry before becoming known as The Queen's Award for Enterprise in 1999.
:Her Majesty The Queen makes the Awards on the advice of the Prime Minister, who is assisted by an Advisory Committee that includes representatives of Government, industry and commerce, and the trade unions. They are announced on 21 April, The Queen's personal birthday.
:For more information about The Queen's Awards, please see www.queensawards.org.uk

For the rest I have done 1980, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2010: 
Please add a   tick to those you complete. The information should be on the London Gazette web site, it is a little trial and error to zoom in on the right issue - or more accurately supplement.  An index of URLS by issue number and date is available at User:Rich Farmbrough/London Gazette.  The official date is always the Queens Birthday - 21 April, but the actual printing date can be earlier (or later?). The lists are in one of the supplements.

thread_title: A little progress

message: I've had a quick scan through the issues over at WP:ANI#Automated creation of incorrect categories.  The awards lists that I've populated (2001-2003 and 2005) are correct award/year combinations and are referenced to the London Gazette source, so I'm going to remove the deletion request.

replies: text: Yes, the awards are known as e.g. "The Queen's Award for Enterprise: Sustainable Development" nd not as "The Queen's Award for Enterprise: Sustainable Development (Environmental Achievement)". For the older awards, things are completely wrong, the recent ones seem to be less of a problem in that regard, but the names are wrong, the refs were wrong (thanks for correcting them), and the method and style of creation of them (which you had nothing to do with) was absolutely wrong.

message: #Selected_pre-2001_recipients. Is there an objective criteria for listing some companies and not others, or did someone just pick what looked better to him? --Enric Naval (talk) 17:04, 11 May 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: User:Enric Naval , they have recently all been removed by user:Modest Genius.  No doubt a well constructed list could survive as a separate article, or included in this article, but the list that was removed wasnt selective. John Vandenberg (chat) 15:53, 10 May 2014 (UTC)
