the books, to win a Newbery, must be written by a U.S. citizen or someone living in the US. (Gaiman now lives here, hence his winning the medal.) the medal was first given in early 1920s.

Removing a book requires a librarian (though anyone can remove their own vote).

Adding a book just involves clicking [Add Books to this List] and picking a book.

Just voting on a book, especially on pages 3 and 4, after verifying that the book you are voting for is truly an honor book is also very helpful. An individual can only vote for 100 books - so maintaining a list much longer than that requires the active cooperation of multiple people.

FWIW:
A Solitary Blue by Cynthia Voigt is on page 1 at #41 with 16 votes.

An American Plague: The True and Terrifying Story of the Yellow Fever Epidemic of 1793 by Jim Murphy is also on page 1 at #76 with 8 votes.

This is an honor list specifically. And I will remove From the Mixed-Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler as it was the winner in 1968.

If anyone spots and other books with issues, call them out. But I looked and didn't see any other books with issues.
