Talk:Atlantic Council Global Citizen Awards

Proposed changes

I work with the comms team at the Atlantic Council and I'd like to propose a few updates to this article, starting with the description of the event.

• Specific text to be revised: Global Citizen Awards is presented by the Atlantic Council annually to individuals who have made exceptional and distinctive contributions to strengthening the transatlantic relationship.

CHANGED TO Global Citizen Awards are presented by the Atlantic Council annually to individuals who underscore “the Atlantic Council's critical mission to shape the global future together” and who "seek to improve the state of the world."

• Reason for the change: For the grammar fix: Awards is plural. Added more direct language from Atlantic Council on why the awards are presented.
• References supporting change: https://sponsored.foreignpolicy.com/atlantic-council/these-leaders-are-defining-what-it-means-to-be-a-global-citizen/

 Partly done, grammar fixed but synthesis should generally be preferred over quotes. Rusalkii (talk) 19:56, 8 September 2024 (UTC)

• Specific text to be added: I request this be added after the first sentence about the award:

The awards are presented annually during the United Nations General Assembly week in New York.

• Reason for the change: This provides more context on where/when the awards are given.

 Done Rusalkii (talk) 19:56, 8 September 2024 (UTC)

Thank you @Rusalkii. Much appreciated.

The sentence as it is now is not accurate. The award is more broad than just transatlantic focus. How about this instead?

I agree "transatlantic" doesn't seem to be the only focus but this is still too close a paraphrase of the source. Rusalkii (talk) 21:49, 17 September 2024 (UTC)

Thanks @Rusalkii. I appreciate you reviewing and for explaining that it's too close of a paraphrase. How about this change instead?

Global Citizen Awards → Atlantic Council Global Citizen Awards – Per Wikipedia's Article_titles policy, a good Wikipedia article title has "Precision – The title unambiguously identifies the article's subject and distinguishes it from other subjects." The Atlantic Council is one of multiple organization that has a 'Global Citizen Award.' While it is important to note that the Atlantic Council has annually honored notable world leaders, mostly presidents and prime ministers, since 2010, the Atlantic Council's Global Citizen Awards should be differentiated from the other similarly named awards. The other awards:

• Support name change to either option, Global Citizen Awards (Atlantic Council) may be preferable if it needs disambiguating in the future. Encoded  Talk 💬 21:37, 30 October 2024 (UTC)
