Request edit on 15 January 2020

This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest was declined. The request was not specific enough.

Edit request

Information to be added or removed: The council sponsors the National Jewish Book Awards, the JBC Network, JBC Book Clubs, Natan Notable Books, the Visiting Scribe series, and Jewish Book Month. It publishes an annual literary journal called Paper Brigade. <--this is new text to replace the current sentence about programs in the first section. Explanation of issue: I would like to delete the Sami Rohr Prize from the list, which is no longer a part of Jewish Book Council and I added Natan Notable Books, which is a part of Jewish Book Council. I understand that "no longer" doesn't mean never, though, as mentioned to me by a user, so if you want to keep it, it would need to be included separately in the past tense as a former program to be accurate. Not current. It is misleading to say this it is one of its programs, since it now exists independent of the organization. References supporting change: https://www.jewishbookcouncil.org/awards Nhfirestone (talk) 21:28, 15 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Information to be added or removed: All references to The ProsenPeople need to be removed and replaced with PB Daily Explanation of issue: When Jewish Book Council relaunched its website in 2019, it changed the name of its blog from ProsenPeople to PB Daily. PB Daily now has all of the same content that was originally found on ProsenPeople. References supporting change: https://www.jewishbookcouncil.org/pb-daily Nhfirestone (talk) 21:28, 15 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Information to be added or removed: The Sami Rohr Prize section needs to be removed entirely. Explanation of issue: The Prize still exists but is no longer a part of Jewish Book Council. If it remains here it will have to all be in the past tense. References supporting change: https://www.jewishbookcouncil.org/awards Nhfirestone (talk) 21:28, 15 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Information to be added or removed: The last winner was Daniel Gordis. This sentence needs to be changed to: The last winner was Pamela S. Nadell. Or the line can be removed entirely. Explanation of issue: This is outdated information. The most recent winner is Pamela S. Nadell. Or, time-sensitive information, like "the last winner" sentence can be removed entirely. References supporting change: https://www.jewishbookcouncil.org/pb-daily/2019-national-jewish-book-award-winners Nhfirestone (talk) 21:28, 15 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Information to be added or removed: The JBC logo on this page is outdated and needs to be changed/updated. Explanation of issue: I made a request via your "Files for Upload" page, but wasn't sure if it should be made here too. Or if this is better. The new logo is current as of spring 2019.
