Talk:Sir Arthur Clarke Award

message: See Wikipedia:Conflict of interest/Noticeboard#Sir Arthur Clarke Award. Anyone interested is welcome to add their own comments at the noticeboard. The editors who are affiliated with the Clarke award have been working here in good faith.  
My impression is that he article is too verbose: not every detail needs to be included. Mike Peel has identified Amateur Achievement Award of the Astronomical Society of the Pacific as an example of a well-written article about an award.  In my opinion this article should be rewritten to be shorter and punchier, and it should defer the listing of every single detail to the award's own website. (We do not need to make room for all the subawards here).  More press references would also be good; surely the direct URL for the Guardian article can be found and added to the reference.

message: I've added in some quotes although I'm not sure really how to place them within the article.
Also here's a few more from industry sources:
* Dr Chris Welch, Principal Lecturer in Astronautics, said "I am delighted that Alison's dedication, hard work and achievements have been recognised with this award. All our congratulations go to her." 
* "...he (Chris Riley) produced the BBC's blockbuster space drama-documentary series Space Odyssey, winner of the UK’s prestigious Sir Arthur Clarke Award." 
* There are also some wonderful quotes from The Open University's CESPAR pages :
Professor John Zarnecki: "The last time I received an individual award, it was the third form mathematics prize at school." Surely this was a sign that such awards are long overdue. He added, "I am very happy to receive this, and many thanks to the organisers for this award."
Professor Colin Pillinger: "It's a huge privilege to have an award with Arthur C Clarke's name on it.   Of the three awards that I was nominated for, this comes closest to the area that I worked for."
Sir Arthur C Clarke: Sir Arthur's citation said, "It is my pleasure to present this inaugural Special Award to the British Interplanetary Society."
BIS Vice-President David Fearn and Executive Secretary Suszann Parry: "I was so surprised to receive this award but also very appreciative."
Fred Clarke: was delighted with the event and said that he would work on ensuring that Sir Arthur could be present next year. He said, "I think he'd love to have an excuse to come over, and I can't think of any nicer excuse."
CESPAR: All in all, this was a tremendous evening, a very special opportunity for the UK space community to get together and pay tribute to a collection of success stories.
Also  and  both proudly display - permanently - that they have won an Arthur on their websites.  Also the Bang! website gives two mentions to the award (despite not winning it)  .
The SpaceViz Productions site also mentions their nomination for an Arthur  quite prominently.
