Talk:Woodrow Wilson Foundation

According to the foundational documents the original purpose was research in furtherance of Wilson's ideas, primarily his ideas about government, not research about Wilson. Only later did the Foundation focus its efforts on the publication of Wilson's collected works. --Bejnar (talk) 08:38, 1 January 2013 (UTC)Reply

This archived PDF of award recipients shows that dozens of people have won the award, sometimes over twenty a year, but the article currently only lists five in total. Many of the people on the list are clearly as notable or more notable than John Gottschalk, so this seems like an oddly selective list. I'm seeing a handful of state governors, senators, a vice president, a Nobel prize winner, etc. I'm not seeing much of a common thread other than some intersection of rich/famous and philanthropist. What do Wayne Newton, Dick Cheney, and Kathryn Wasserman Davis all have in common, anyway? If this is a genuinely significant award, then it should be possible to find reliable, WP:SECONDARY sources for this. Lacking that, copying every notable person to this article based only on archives of primary sources seems like WP:NOTDIRECTORY. Regardless, it's POV to cherry-pick who is and is not mentioned here, so I'm removing the section. Grayfell (talk) 03:19, 21 November 2015 (UTC)Reply
