Request Edits March 2023

[edit]

Hello, I have some additional suggestions for updates to this article. I am an employee of the Academy of Achievement, so I am proposing edits here as per Wikipedia’s rules.

@Heartmusic678: You reviewed and approved the last two request edit proposals for the American Academy of Achievement article, and thus are acquainted with the types of updates I’ve recently asked for: Request Edits March 2023. Would you mind taking a look at the new request? I greatly appreciate it. Desiderata45 (talk) 15:25, 13 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

1.

I have seven additional people to add to the table of past award recipients. Each person already has a Wikipedia article. I was able to find reliable secondary press coverage to verify each recipient received the reward. I used primary sources as a second citation only when the first citation didn’t give the specific year of the award.

The list below is in alphabetical order, but each new entry needs to be integrated into alphabetical order in the existing table. I’d be glad to help do that work on the Wikipedia page if these suggestions are approved.


|- |Larry Ellison |Business |1997 |[1] |-


|- |Phil Knight |Business |1989 |[2] |-


|- |John Lewis |Public Service |2004 |[3][4] |-


|- |Barack Obama |Public Service |2007 |[5][4] |-


|- |Walter Payton |Sports |1988 |[6] |-


|- |Bill Russell |Sports |2008 |[7][8] |-


|- |Carl Sagan |Science & Exploration |1975 |[9] |-


Since some of the cited articles above are from old newspapers and are not available for free online, here are relevant excerpts:

Baltimore Sun, May 23, 1997, p. 7e: 

This year's honorees are a typically far-reaching bunch: Cal Ripken Jr., Barbara Bush, Gloria Estefan, Ron Howard, Cokie Roberts, Joyce Carol Oates. Joining them are Supreme Court justice Stephen Breyer, Oracle Corp. founder Lawrence J. Ellison, Motorola CEO Christopher B. Galvin, and circus star Gunther Gebel-Williams.


San Francisco Chronicle, June 26, 1989: 

Saturday night, the proceedings ended with a huge banquet, at which each celebrity honoree received a ""Golden Plate Award" for being ""representatives of the many who excel in the great walks of life." Swathed in sequins, diamonds and self-assurance, the celebs beamed down on the assembled collection of scrubbed and polished students. Ralph Lauren wore jeans and cowboy boots beneath his tuxedo jacket. Philip Knight, CEO of Nike, strode jauntily across the stage in brand new white sneakers.


Hartford Courant, July 1, 1988, p. B4: 

You can hardly blame these Connecticut teenagers for sounding like name-droppers. Let them tell you about their weekend with actors Michael Douglass or Ed Asner, physicist William Teller, writers E.L. Doctorow or Tom Clancy, editor Ben Bradley or athletes Walter Payton and Julius Erving… “When I walked right by Ed Asner without stopping, that’s when I knew it was becoming a little routine,” said Jonathon Baron, 18 of Storrs, one of six Connecticut students who attended a high-powered gathering that brought together some of America’s biggest names… The American Academy of Achievements Salute to Excellence conference in Nashville, Tenn., this month allowed 450 of the nation’s brightest young people to rub elbows with about 40 top athletes.


Evansville Press, June 26, 1975, p. 15: 

Fifty-eight prominent and successful businessmen, scientists, entertainers and athletes will be in Evansville this weekend to be honored at the 14th annual Banquet of the Golden Plate…The presentation of awards will be made at a dinner Saturday at the Executive Inn...The purpose of the three-day program is to enable about 160 student national and state contest winners to meet and to get tips from the adults to be honored on how to be a success in their chosen fields…The award winners are: … Carl Sagan Space Scientist…


2.

Please add to the History section’s subsection, “Achievement summit,” the following three sentences as the new eighth paragraph. These discuss the 2022 awards ceremony and describe important events that took place at the summit, as well as some of the attendees.

In September 2022, the 54th awards ceremony and Golden Plate dinner was held in Washington, DC.[10][11] At the ceremony, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and U.N. Secretary-General António Guterres were recognized for their role in establishing a deal allowing grain exports to ship out of Ukraine sea ports following the Russian invasion of Ukraine.[12] Other attendees of the event included Allyson Felix, Jimmy Page, and Mitch McConnell.[11]

3.

In the Academy of Achievement#Notable recipients of the Golden Plate Award list, please move the entry for Ray Dalio to its proper alphabetical position. It should go after Francis Crick and before Joan Didion. Whoever added the entry mistakenly put it at the bottom of the list. Also, they only provided primary sources. I found a reliable secondary source that supports all of the entry’s facts. The source is called “Lifestyle UG”, which has a thorough statement about its editorial standards and integrity (see Code of ethics, Editorial policy, and fact-checking policy). I replaced two of the three primary sources with the secondary source.

I’ve rewritten the proposed wikitext below for your convenience:

|- |Ray Dalio |Business |2012 |[13][14] |-

Thanks for considering this proposal. Desiderata45 (talk) 18:07, 31 March 2023 (UTC) Desiderata45 (talk) 18:07, 31 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I am withdrawing these. I am not the user who posted the previous request. I am also an employee at AA and worked off their incomplete draft. I want to review more closely before requesting any changes.Desiderata45 (talk) 19:37, 15 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

New names for Academy of Achievement#Notable recipients of the Golden Plate Award

[edit]

Hello, I have some updates to suggest for this article as well as additional names to add to the Academy of Achievement#Notable recipients of the Golden Plate Award table. As I noted in my last proposal I am an employee of the American Academy of Achievement, so I am proposing edits here as per Wikipedia’s rules.

1.

I have five additional people I’d like to see added to the table of award recipients. Each person already has a Wikipedia article. I was able to find reliable secondary press coverage to verify each recipient received the reward as well as the year they did.

The list below is in alphabetical order, but each new entry needs to be integrated into alphabetical order in the existing table.

Quincy Jones Music 1984 [1]

Henry Kissinger Public Service 2002 [2]

Jimmy Page Music 2024 [3]

Itzhak Perlman Music 2005 [4]

Volodymyr Zelenskyy Public Service 2024 [5]

2.

Please add the following new paragraph, which provides information covered in international press sources about the 2024 summit (including a speech given by Ukrainian President Volodymr Zelenskyy at the event and the Russian Foreign Ministry’s reaction to it), to the end of the “Achievement summit” subsection of the History section:

At the 2024 summit, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy received a Golden Plate award and gave an address to Academy members about Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and urged Ukraine’s Western allies to speed up their military aid to his country, which he said faced a critical phase in its efforts to defend itself against Russia.[5] Other awardees honored at the summit included Kenyan track and field athletes Faith Kipyegon and Beatrice Chebet, who both won gold medals at the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris. Both received their Golden Plate awards from Kenyan President William Ruto.[6]
