The article is already fully referenced for verification purposes. There have been two award ceremonies, and both ceremonies are referenced in the history section. The notion that each and every individual winner needs their own separate reference is silly for a number of reasons, and it's not supported by the rules. If you would like to add the same inline reference over and over for each individual go ahead, but that's a style issue not one of verification. -- Green Cardamom (talk) 23:34, 6 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for adding the missing references. Glad to see the "ref improve" tag has done it's job. Now the article is properly referenced it can happily be removed. --Rushton2010 (talk) 11:05, 7 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

COI edit request - updated History section to mention 2019 ceremony

Hi. I noticed that the history section does not mention the 2019 ceremony in Costa Rica. As I am employed by the Internet Society, I have COI and do not want to directly edit the page. Would someone be willing to please add this text to the end of the History section?

On September 27, 2019, 11 new members were inducted into the Internet Hall of Fame in a ceremony in San Jose, Costa Rica.^[1] The inductees included Larry Irving, the first African-American to be inducted.^[2]

Thanks for the consideration. - Dyork (talk) 02:17, 28 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

FYI, Nominations open for 2021 IHOF inductees

FYI, the Internet Hall of Fame opened up nominations on February 23 for the 2021 inductees. Do editors think it might be appropriate to add something like this to the end of the History section? Or would you prefer to wait until later in the year when the inductees are announced?

In February 2021, the Internet Hall of Fame announced that nominations were open for 2021 inductees until April 23, 2021.^[1]

At the moment I don't have any secondary sources about the announcement. As I have previously noted, I have COI and so won't be updating the page directly. - Dyork (talk) 02:27, 28 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Done -- GreenC 03:04, 28 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

GreenC - Thank you for making both this edit and the one above! Thanks. - Dyork (talk) 01:27, 1 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
