Coverage

There are 69 pages in the category as I create its Talk page. That constitutes full coverage in the following sense.

Through 2011/2012 there have been 73 Medals and 73 winning works (in 76 award cycles because there was no award three times). Our Table of winners now displays 69 bluelink titles and 4 redlinks.

I have not checked the 67 linked articles (and pages in the category) whose titles match the Medal-winning book titles. I have checked the two mis-matching titles and confirmed their categorization. 2003 winner A Gathering Light was first published in the U.S. as A Northern Light. 1961 winner A Stranger at Green Knowe is part of the Green Knowe series. --P64 (talk) 00:16, 9 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

In the last few days I have put about 20 biographies of Medal-winning authors in the category. If and when it is renamed Category:Carnegie Medal in Literature winning works, which is a mouthful, I will re-cat the authors in a new category with the current name. --P64 (talk) 18:12, 14 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Done 2012-07-30

This report is obsolete here. I have copied it to the top of the new cat-talk page Category talk: Carnegie Medal in Literature winning works with explanation of the manual reorganization.

Coverage of winning authors

2012-08-20, updated by revision rather than by reply

This category now contains only biographies of Medal-winning authors (and occasionally one of my user pages).

Through 2011/2012 there have been 73 Medal-winning works in 76 award cycles —three cycles with no winning books; none with two winning books (no ties). There have been 67 Medal-winning authors —seven double winners; no triple winners; one winning book with two co-authors.

Our Table of winners correctly displays 4 redlink authors, so that the 63 biographies now in the category represent complete coverage.

Two years later, with 75 winning works in 78 award cycles:

There have been 69 Medal-winning authors ...

Our Table of winners correctly displays 3 redlink authors, so that the 66 biographies now in the category represent complete coverage.
