Entries correct as of today[edit]

I just cross-checked this with the list at Newbery Medal, and as of right now, all the authors that won the award are included in this category. Several had been missing and several who didn't win the award were here. Makeemlighter (talk) 15:45, 6 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Correct as of today with 84 entries. Clare Vanderpool is only award-winning author not present, as she does not yet have an article. Makeemlighter (talk) 00:04, 18 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Today I expanded the preface, in part by including this Accounting statement:

(quote) The Medal was inaugurated in 1922 and there have been 91 Medals and winning works through 2012; only 86 winning authors because five have won twice.

That shows the completeness (in this instance) or quantifies the incompleteness of our coverage of winning authors, when it is coupled with the auto-generated line:

(quote) The following 86 pages are in this category.

Of course editors must add the biographies of future Medal winners to the category, or update the number of authors who have won twice. Because we have once achieved complete coverage in this instance, an account that does not "add up" in the future should be easy for editors to interpret usefully. --P64 (talk) 03:49, 16 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
