Talk:Nobel Prize in Chemistry
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Why does the list run backwards? -- Tarquin
- yeah, I was wondering that too... won't it be better if 2000's was on top? - Fiveless 13:19, Oct 13, 2004 (UTC)
I'd be nice to add the nationality of those people :-) - it is a basic information, though. --213.199.192.226 18:58, 7 August 2005 (UTC)
- I've added in the nationalities, i'm planning on adding stats at the bottom and possibly reformatting it later. Lemonysam 15:07, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] backwards
Yeah, descending would be much better than ascending. Put the most recent awards on top. --Michiel Sikma 17:39, 5 October 2005 (UTC)
The other articles for Nobel Prize Laureates are listed differently (decade by decade). There probably should be a uniform type of organization.
- Personally i dislike the broken up tables format and the current ordering fits in with those of the other articles so i don't think it's necessary to change it Lemonysam 15:07, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
2001 B.Sharpless did not developed oxidation process, it was epoxidation!! Luis
[edit] Nobel Prize in Chemistry 2006 prediction
It would be nice if the Wiki community would be able to predict the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for 2006 (still several months to go), so if you think you know who will win, why not start a short bio and start an article on relevant research. Just an idea. V8rik 22:52, 10 June 2006 (UTC)
The Thomson 2006 shortlist (biochemical people not included): James Fraser Stoddart, Seiji Shinkai, George M. Whitesides, Kyriacos Costa Nicolaou, David A. Evans, Steven V. Ley and Tobin J. Marks see [1]

[edit] links
I've tried to make the subject links more relevant, but there is difficulty with the extremely broad wording of some of the prize statements (and the nature of some of the WP articles.) DGG 02:02, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Reformat
I think the format of the list of winners on the Nobel Prize in Economics is much better then this one. I would suggest a reformat for readability. Goodolclint 19:45, 11 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] What is meant by nation?
The table lists the "nation" for each recipient. What does this mean?
- nationality at birth
- nationality at death (or current for living people)
- nationality at the time of the award
- nationality at the time of the research
- nation where the research was conducted
- nation where the recipient resided at the time of the award
- nation where the recipient died or lives currently
- etc...
It gets even more complicated when people have multiple nationalities. Perhaps the easy solution is just to copy the nation listed by nobelprize.org. In that case, there is at least one error in the table (Mario Molina). Itub 13:59, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
- Another discrepancy between this table and the one at nobelprize.org is Marie Curie. Itub 14:01, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
