Talk:Avram Hershko

Hungarian chemist?!
He's Israeli. A chemist born in Hungary isn't a Hungarian chemist.

Can you cite a reference of his invalidating his Hungarian nationality? If you can't, why not keep both categories? There are millions of people around the world with dual or more nationality. Adam78 12:53, 17 November 2006 (UTC)


 * I think it's you who needs to cite a reference that he sees himself as Hungarian... He's a Jew. Jewish people were spread around the globe, but if he came to Israel in a young age then he's an Hungarian Jew but not really a Hungarian especially in this sense of the article since he never studied in a Hungarian university it seems which makes it impossible for him to be included in the nobel category.

I think it only happens in special circumstances that someone rejects his original nationality and if it does happen, it should be noted somewhere because it's something unexpected. On the other hand, it's quite common that someone migrates to another country without giving up their original nationality. So a reference is necessary for his rejecting his Hungarian nationality – supposing that he ever did so. Adam78 15:14, 17 November 2006 (UTC)


 * Don't you think it's wrong to say he's a Hungarian Nobel Laurate just because he was born there and might have migrated as a baby as far as we know ? The categories are for finding useful information, not to maintain strict historical accuracy. i think you misunderstand. Per above comment - YES he's HUNGARIAN, NO he's not Hungarian CHEMIST/NOBEL WINNER. It's possible to make this distinction to make the categories useful per WP:CATEGORY and WP:BLP.

Avram or Avraham
I have changed the name to Avraham because it is both the correct formal name and the correct transription of the Hebrew name (which includes the "ha" consonant as any Hebrew reader can see). The form "Avram" will be used only on extremely informal occasions (to put it mildly) such as when meeting at the marketplace or at a football match. It sounds inappropriate in a formal context. I suggest that my change be accepted. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.117.141.98 (talk) 09:11, 24 August 2011 (UTC)
