Swallowed the Key award years

Joey Pigza Swallowed the Key (1998) was a finalist for the National Book Award in 1998, not 1999. The entire long list of awards and honors for that book may be off by one year. All I have done, however, is blank the NBAward in the long list and give it a separate and correct entry (with reference to the official website). --P64 (talk) 00:00, 27 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hole in My Life

Should an abbreviated version of all this info go into the Personal Life section and then just leave a blurb about the book in this section? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.251.125.40 (talk) 06:51, 30 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I think all the info should be combined into the biography section, and then place a blurb about the book in the personal life section. Beefcake6412 (talk) 00:26, 27 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I made a correction on a date, it was 2024 instead of 2004. 70.225.129.20 (talk) 23:17, 8 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed merge with Joey Pigza Loses Control

Not enough information to warrant an article. The author is notable and has an article already; please add this content to the main article instead. Roches (talk) 23:10, 21 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Newbery award winning books all deserve their own articles. I am actively working on expanding on this article during the next weeks. Elizabethperozoswiki (talk) 18:56, 28 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
