List of Nobel Laureates in Physiology or Medicine[edit]

This is number 5 of 6 Laureate lists. I'm planning on getting the main Laureates list to FL eventually (plus the Peace Prize one) and take it to WP:FTC. As always, all concerns will be addressed by me. As for the images, I was a lot more careful in the ones I added this time, so I think most of them should be good. -- Scorpion0422 21:31, 21 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Support Everything looks great! I'd like to see more pictures in the table though. I know it's a long list to work with, but there are still a lot of empty image fields, and the respective person's articles usually do have an image. Reywas92Talk 19:40, 22 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Also, Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine is an awfully short article, it's unlikely to be lenghtened much, and a majority of the information is repeated in this list. Is there any way they can be merged? Sorry, but I'd like this related main article to be taken care and more images in the table of before I can support yet. Thanks, Reywas92Talk 19:45, 22 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Neither concern is actionable. He's under no obligation to improve the article on the prize, regardless of how crappy it is. It's a 100+ year award and immensely prestigious, so separating out a 55K list from what should be a large article is more than appropriate. As for the images, he's limited by the images with good rationales and the images available. — sephiroth bcr (converse) 20:23, 24 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • I have expanded the page for the main Prize. I think that there is more than enough material out there to justify having a seperate page for the award and list.
  • As for the images, I would love for every row to have an image too, but there are two main problems:
    • Any images would have to be free use images (several of the ones you've seen have likely been fair use.
    • Many of the free images out there have outdated tags, and incomplete licensing information and thus can not be used.
  • 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 20:23, 22 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comments from Dabomb87 (talk · contribs)

  • "While commonly referred to as the Nobel prize in Medicine" Shouldn't "prize" be capitalized?
    • Yes.
  • "Laureates have won the Nobel Prize in a wide range of fields relating to physiology or medicine." "relating"-->that relate.
    • Done.
  • "One winner of the Nobel Prize, German Gerhard Domagk (1939), was not allowed by his government to accept the prize"-->Gerhard Domagk (1939), a German, was not allowed by his government to accept the prize. This eliminates the repetition of the idea of winning the prize.
    • Done.
  • Have the pictures been checked by an experienced image reviewer? Dabomb87 (talk) 15:09, 26 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    • No, but I was much more careful when adding them this time. Besides, David might block me if I ask him to do another review. Thanks for taking a look. -- Scorpion0422 15:12, 26 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
      • I would still be more comfortable in supporting if they were checked. As an example, Image:RobertKoch cropped.jpg is missing an author. Ask User:Awadewit if you are afraid of David. Dabomb87 (talk) 15:38, 26 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
        • I am reviewing the images on the article talk page. The list was becoming rather extensive for an FLC page. Awadewit (talk) 01:26, 30 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Update Awadewit left a review on the talk page. I have removed all of the bad ones. -- Scorpion0422 22:26, 2 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    • Nice. I would like to see Awadewit approve all the changes and fixes made before supporting. Dabomb87 (talk) 23:00, 2 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Weak Oppose in current condition. The names and countries would be better sortable. Everyone always wants to know how many there own country won, and see any multi-winners. Making sortable is easy, but then names should have sort key so they sort by family name.Dillypickle (talk) 13:26, 4 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The issue of sortability has been discussed in previous FLCs for other Nobel lists. I prefer having the image column without its own header, and many years have had multiple winners and some who won for the same thing. Making every single winner have its own individual line would make things a lot more confusing and thus it would be harder to pick out such instances. The years would have to be duplicated, so one would have to repeat the same summaries, which would lead to a lot of unnecessary repitition. Also, there is a List of Nobel Laureates by country. -- Scorpion0422 13:55, 4 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
