Artist International, New York Debut Award

Good evening, I am searching for an overview of awards that were awarded as part of an "Artist International New York Debut Award" event. The last ten years would be of particularly interest, as a top violinist is to be announced and we want to present when exactly she was awarded. --91.47.30.153 (talk) 00:26, 26 January 2021 (UTC)

To clarify, are you referring to the International Artist Award of Excellence category of the American Music Awards, or the International Auditions of the New York-based Young Concert Artists organisation, or to something else? {The poster formerly known as 87.81.230.195} 90.200.40.9 (talk) 04:37, 26 January 2021 (UTC)

Hi, and sorry: All I have is the wording: "As the winner of the Artist International New York Debut Award" …" (which might also be beaued or else …). And I did recherché the internet already. However my English is basic only, so I might have overlooked things. Thanks anyway. --91.47.30.153 (talk) 10:14, 26 January 2021 (UTC)

Part of the problem is that the wording you've been given leaves the "s" off the end of "Artists". If you Google "Artists International New York Debut" you get 97 unique Google hits, and if you Google "Artists International Debut Award" another 33, from which you can build up an incomplete picture of the artists who have won it, but no overview. --Antiquary (talk) 11:25, 26 January 2021 (UTC)

If we knew the name of "the winner of the Artist International New York Debut Award" (and also the year, if available), it gets easier to check if any specific award is the one referenced in the attribution.  --Lambiam 11:32, 26 January 2021 (UTC)

Sirena Huang, 2017? If so, it was the 2017 NYCA Worldwide Debut Audition.  --Lambiam 11:48, 26 January 2021 (UTC)

Thanks All: There are now clear indications of fraud and for actual knowledge we intend to call in the authorities (it's not Miss Huang). --91.47.30.153 (talk) 15:20, 26 January 2021 (UTC)

Well, that escalated quickly. Matt Deres (talk) 20:34, 26 January 2021 (UTC)

MacArthur Boulevard and US 50

Harbor Boulevard#Major intersections says that MacAruthur Boulevard was part of US 50. However, I find that hard to believe. -³²²UbnBr₂ (Talk | Contributions | Actions) 18:21, 26 January 2021 (UTC)

You could try asking whoever added that fact originally. ←Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots→ 18:30, 26 January 2021 (UTC)

OK, thanks. -³²²UbnBr₂ (Talk | Contributions | Actions) 18:54, 26 January 2021 (UTC)

Looks like it was added about a year ago,[1] by an editor who was last active in June. If it appears to be in error, you could fix it. ←Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots→ 19:03, 26 January 2021 (UTC)

US 50 never went to Santa Ana or anywhere as far south as Los Angeles. I suspect they meant U.S. Route 60, U.S. Route 70 or U.S. Route 80 which all once did. California decommissioned most of its U.S. Routes en masse in 1964 in favor of directing drivers to Interstate routes; some (but not all) of them being downgraded to California State Routes. --Jayron32 19:33, 26 January 2021 (UTC)

As per WP:BOLD I will remove it. -³²²UbnBr₂ (Talk | Contributions | Actions) 19:40, 26 January 2021 (UTC)

Also, I checked on the Orange County, California article, which says only US 91, US 101, and US 101A went in OC. -³²²UbnBr₂ (Talk | Contributions | Actions) 19:46, 26 January 2021 (UTC)

Looks like the editor who added that got confused. US 50 did run along a MacArthur Boulevard at one point, but that was in the San Francisco Bay Area when the highway use to extend to San Francisco. US 50 use to run east from the San Francisco Bay Bridge and down MacArthur Boulevard in Oakland. Zzyzx11 (talk) 23:11, 26 January 2021 (UTC)
