This list presents the 54 men and women who have awarded what is arguable the world's most prestigious prize. Hopefully, it also meets the FL criteria. Arsenikk (talk) 07:00, 11 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Good list! A few comments though,
- Parties are not linked, as it is sortable they cd all be wikilinked
- The agrarian party is not linked properly? Sandman888 (talk) 14:07, 13 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- The Agrarian Party and the Centre Party are the same (they changed their name half a century ago to get more votes). Therefore, the former sorts as the latter.
- Shd be noted Sandman888 (talk) 07:37, 15 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- It is clearly stated in the prose, while discussing the party alignments. Arsenikk (talk) 19:22, 15 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

- It's not chaired between 1909-22 ? Shd be explained in note or corrected.

- If images had same size it'll look better.
- See WP:Images for how to force same size. Sandman888 (talk) 14:07, 13 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- I tried to experiment, but no matter what I do, some of the images will look bad. There are also accessibility reasons to use default image sizes, and use of "upright" should make them correct. I notice Jørgen Løvland was not "uprighted", so it should look better now.

- Most of your sources is in Norwegian. Per WP:Sources English is preferred, perhaps other could be found. Sandman888 (talk) 17:09, 12 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Thanks for the review. The problem with the images is that two of the (Løvland and Lundestad) have been uploaded at thumbnail size, and are therefore not displayed at more than such. Note that almost the entire article is sourced from English sources, except the bios of the current members (which links the the extremely reliable bio section of the Norwegian Parliament website) and an article about the internal nomination procedures within parliament (which I have not been able to find in English sources). As I live in Norway, I cannot go down to the library and borrow an English-language book on a Norwegian topic, but I did add an online source for the controversies. I'll have a little look around, but I can't say I'm optimistic. Arsenikk (talk) 11:32, 13 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- I'd prefer it if the image of Sejersted was a close-up and only showed his face, that'll also make it same format as the two other pics Sandman888 (talk) 08:56, 15 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Good idea. I've uploaded and linked to a cropped version. Arsenikk (talk) 19:22, 15 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

- Support good work on my nit-picking. The Rambling Man (talk) 06:24, 6 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Dabs; please check the disambiguation links identified in the toolbox. Dabomb87 (talk) 22:10, 19 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Question. This gives C. B. Hanssen as "deputy chairman, [...] 1923". Is it impossible to find info about old deputy chairmen and include this in the table? Geschichte (talk) 15:02, 6 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- While the Norwegian Social Science Data Services (NSD) is without doubt a reliable source, it raises the question of why the Norwegian Nobel Committee has refrained from including the information of deputies before 1991. I have tried to search for committee members sitting at the same time, and NSD seems to be incomplete—some people are not even listed as members of the Nobel Committee. Given the limiting information NSD provides, I cannot see how a complete list of deputies can be created, nor can I use it to verity that the post-1991 position is the same as the pre-1991 position (if it existed)—and why it is left out of the Norwegian Nobel Institute's list. For that matter, NSD could not even be used to create a complete list of committee members, deputies or not. Arsenikk (talk) 22:02, 7 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Neutral. Geschichte (talk) 06:34, 15 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- I've contacted the institute to ask about the issue; reply is pending. Sorry about the late reply here, I've had a busy week, but I've got some time to take a look at the university library now. Arsenikk (talk) 08:36, 15 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Done. All deputy years have been added and referenced. Arsenikk (talk) 09:55, 21 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comments:
- Historically, the committee's members have represented seven political parties, also including the Liberal Party, the Centre Party and the Christian Democratic Party). I do not know where to put an opening parenthesis.
- Fixed this. Dabomb87 (talk) 14:29, 17 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- the committee was renamed the The Nobel Committee of the Parliament of Norway, I think one "the" is enough.
- and sat in parliament representing Hordaland from 1989 to 1993, and as a deputy from 1993 to 2001. What does deputy mean here? It can mean a member of parliament, for instance.
- All notes in the 'Notes' section are complete sentences and should have a period at the end.

- All done. I specified Ytterhorn as a "deputy member of parliament". Arsenikk (talk) 08:45, 18 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
