Logo
Anyway we'd be able to add the logo found here: http://utnews.utoledo.edu/artman2/uploads/1/webJefferson-Awards-logo.jpg - after reading the guidelines I am still not sure how to go about doing so. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Flyers1834 (talk • contribs) 18:26, 20 August 2013 (UTC)
Self-published references and notability
This article has just 6 references and 3 are to the official website. If this award is notable would it not be simple to provide ample coverage in national and international press? Hugh (talk) 05:01, 9 May 2014 (UTC)
adding a column to table
I'd like to add a column to the table for the Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis awards. They started in 1974, so should be added between the current fifth and sixth columns. Does anyone know how to do this with an easier way than going through and manually adding a | into the correct spot in each row of cells, which seems like it's just a recipe for accidentally breaking the table? --valereee (talk) 11:33, 18 May 2019 (UTC)
Name of award
It feels like the history section is missing details, particularly who the award is named for. 216.82.38.162 (talk) 17:03, 15 December 2023 (UTC)

I am currently affiliated with the organization and saw that this page confuses the old names of the organization with the awards and is generally out of date. I'm not sure how to add references to the template for suggesting changes, so I placed the difference in the text first, followed by the new text with references.
