Talk:Nobel Prize

I would like to add the citations explaining why each Laureate was selected. I interpret http://www.nobel.se/help/copyright/index to mean that these citations would be in the public domain. -- Claudine

The prize in economics is NOT considered a "real" Nobel Prize, (By whom? - GWO) and this have been emphasized more (By whom?) and more in sweden. Maybe it should be moved under the line to the other "nobel-like" prizes?

GWO - Some of the more notable critics today is the grandchildren of Nobel who claim that 1) the prize of economics is not in the will of Alfred Nobel and 2) Alfred Nobel did not consider economics to be a science i.e. not worthy of a prize. They are currently working for the committee and media to not to shorten the current name to "nobel prize" but to the "Bank of Sweden prize" (whereas the long name is somewhere on the lines of "Bank of Sweden prize in economics in the memory of Alfred Nobel").

It is by the Nobel Commitee, who make no distinction. I say keep it where it is.

I can't see why the format "Nobel Prize/Chemistry" is favoured over "Nobel Prize in Chemistry" when Wikipedia is generally trying to get away from the "/" format, and the latter format is the one favoured by the Academy in Sweden. Eclecticology, Thursday, May 16, 2002

Would it be OK for me to change over the ugly / pages here into something that can be directly linked to within an edit window of another article without having to use pipes? Who wants to have to write [[Nobel Prize/Chemistry|Nobel Prize in Chemistry]] when you can easily link to [[Nobel Prize in Chemistry]]? If I receive no response I will take that as agreement. --maveric149

I say go for it! The Anome

Done. Still several hundreds of links that linked to the new names via redirects, but since the new software lists these in th "pages that link here" for the new names, I don't think this is a problem -- We can make direct links as we come accross the old / pages. --maveric149

The ceremony of the Nobel Peace Prize is held in Oslo, Norway - the two countries formed a union under the same king until 1905.

The ceremony in 2002 took place in Stockholm; I haven't checked the others. AxelBoldt 00:08 4 Jun 2003 (UTC)
