@BrocadeRiverPoems: I think your recent change to this article was a mistake. I wrote that a citation is needed because No source connects award to specific work. Your edit summary reads, The LA Times citation immediately preceding this covers this entire sentence, so I'm moving the citation and removing the citation needed. To the contrary, the Times says she won the Whiting Award; it says that she wrote Eat the Mouth That Feeds You; but it does not say that she won the Whiting Award for writing Eat the Mouth That Feeds You. If the award was for that work, as you've reverted the article to read, then we need a citation which actually says that. I'll be surprised if there is one as nothing I've read about the Whiting Awards says they are for specific works. Please reconsider your edit. -- Pemilligan (talk) 05:34, 30 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I shan't reconsider it, no. Per the Whiting Award Since 1985, the Foundation has supported creative writing through the Whiting Awards, which are given annually to ten emerging writers in fiction, nonfiction, poetry, and drama. She is the 2023 winner in Fiction per [1] and the only work of fiction she had published at the time was Eat the Mouth That Feeds You. East of East: The Making of Greater El Monte is non-fiction. If she's won an award for fiction and she only has one publication in fiction and that publication is mentioned in the article, it's self-evident she's won the award for the one piece of fiction mentioned. But here, I'll add another source. Brocade River Poems (She/They)17:47, 31 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
