This is my second Nobel related list. A lot of problems that I encountered with the first one - image licensing, improper quotes, etc. have been fixed in this list, so I think it's ready to go. As always, any concerns brought forth will be addressed by me. -- Scorpion0422 20:59, 29 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Support - excellent list. --TheLeftorium 21:54, 29 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Support, all issues resolved. Dabomb87 (talk) 04:15, 15 November 2008 (UTC) [reply]Comments from Dabomb87 (talk · contribs)
- "(slightly more than €1 million, or US$1.4 million)" Source?
I am concerned about the use of Encyclopædia Britannica, a tertiary source, to source Wikipedia, another tertiary source.- it's not used as a main source. Basically, it's just included because in the past I've had some people complain about having an article rely entirely on one source (especially when it's an official source), so if anyone wants confirmation, there it is.
"In 2008, the prize was awarded Makoto Kobayashi, Toshihide Maskawa and Yoichiro Nambu " Missing a word.- Done.
Random image check: Image:Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen (1845--1923).jpg needs an author and date, Image:Erwin Schrödinger.jpg has an obsolete tag, I think Image:Ketterle.jpg. Have you recruited an experienced image reviewer to confirm that the images check out?- Done.
"William Lawrence Bragg is the youngest ever Nobel Laureate, he won the prize in 1915 at the age of 25." Semicolon instead of comma.- Done.
"John Bardeen is the only laureate to win the prize twice, in 1956 and 1972."-->John Bardeen is the only laureate to win the prize twice, in 1956 and 1972. I think an em dash would serve better than a comma, the placement and the flow of the sentence are abrupt with the comma.Dabomb87 (talk) 23:51, 29 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]- Done. Thanks for taking a look. -- Scorpion0422 17:06, 30 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Another blasted image review in progress
Sorry for the delay, but the literature list kept me busy. First set:
- Image:Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen (1845--1923).jpg - missing source, date, author, making license invalid
- Image:Pierre Curie (crop).png - missing date, author, making license invalid
- Image:Albert Abraham Michelson2.jpg - just because it's on other encyclopedias does not prove the license
- Image:G lippmann.jpg - without author, can't use pd-70
- Image:Ferdinand Braun.jpg - same with this one
--Der Wohltemperierte Fuchs (talk) 03:08, 10 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- The first batch have all been removed. -- Scorpion0422 15:32, 11 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Image:Johannes_Diderik_van_der_Waals.jpg - wrong license, might be PD-1923 but not PD-old
- Fixed.
- Image:Charles Glover Barkla.jpg - licensed under GFDL and claimed PD; no author, so PD-old not proper
- Image:Charles Édouard Guillaume.jpg - no source or author; god-awful image anyhow
--Der Wohltemperierte Fuchs (talk) 03:55, 12 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Second batch is done. -- Scorpion0422 16:06, 12 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Image:Niels Bohr.jpg could be cleaned up via a template, and should have PD-US in addition to the EU tag. Like this one (although that might need EU tag).
- Done.
- Image:Niels BohrUpOwenWillansRichardsonDownSolvay1927.JPG - god, did Bohr ever change his expression?
- Apparantly not, is there a problem with the image?
- Image:Broglie Big.jpg - can't use PD-old without an author... another tag accounting for anon author would work, I suppose.
- What kind of template?
- Image:CVRaman.jpg - using a fair use image of a dead person is shaky in general, but using it in a list as decoration is definitely so. Remove.
- Wow, how did I miss that? It was not put in intentionally. Removed.
- Image:180px-Werner Heisenberg.jpg - same as above.
- Same as above. Replaced.
- Image:Erwin Schrödinger.jpg - needs more specific PD tag.
- Like?
- Image:Chadwick.jpg lacks source, date, and author info
- Removed.
- Image:Carl anderson.1937.jpg - page needs cleanup, and explanation of what organization took the photo (author).
- Image:Enrico Fermi 1943-49.jpg] - what's with the years after his death? Also, bad tag!
- Done.
- Image:Isidor Isaac Rabi.jpg - date and author?
- Removed.
- Image:Wolfgang Pauli2.jpg - missing verifiable source for license
- Removed.
- Image:Blackett-large.jpg - real author and reason for PD?
- Removed.
Also, as a general comment, if any of the above licenses are invalid, please mark them as copyvios on Commons so that they're gotten rid of for good. I like everything tidy :) --Der Wohltemperierte Fuchs (talk) 18:32, 12 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Third batch is done. -- Scorpion0422 19:31, 12 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- I was bold and went through the rest of the list and removed all images that did not meet criteria for inclusion. Images should now all meet FLC critiera.
Comments - sources look okay, links checked out with the link checker tool. Ealdgyth - Talk 17:04, 4 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Many Laureates do not have images by their names, but most of their respective articles do. I would like to see an image by every person. If this is accomplished then I will fully support. Reywas92Talk 01:30, 13 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- I would love for every row to have an image too, but there are two main problems:
- The lack of images is not due to negligence on my part, I went through every page and added whatever free image I could find. The only way I might have missed any is if they are not on the Laureate's page. If there are any free images with proper licensing out there that I have missed, then by all means please add them. -- Scorpion0422 01:33, 13 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Comments by SatyrTN
- I'm a bit uncomfortable with the "Reason" column having each line start with three different things, either "for", "For", or "[for]". I understand the third one, but not why the others are different.
- Each quotation is a copy of the Nobel website. Most of them start out with "for", but some don't, so for uniformity, [for] was added. As for the capitalization, I can go through and fix that. -- Scorpion0422 04:13, 15 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- I still feel these lists should be sortable. I know I'm "outnumbered" on this one, but there ya go.
Oppose unless it's made sortable. -- SatyrTN (talk / contribs) 04:09, 15 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Could you please point out where in the criteria it says that lists need to be sortable? I am not a big fan of making it more cumbersome and repetitive simply so it will be sortable. -- Scorpion0422 04:13, 15 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
