Talk:Lists of science and technology awards

Splitting out sublists
This list is rather large. I propose to break out some of the longer sections, e.g. Mathematics, into separate articles like "List of mathematics awards", and structure these as sortable lists like: I would leave main pointers to the new sub-lists, so this article would evolve towards a list of lists. Sortability would make the sub-lists more useful. Some of them may naturally be broken down into sub-sub-lists, and may also benefit from introductions and backmatter. They would fit more precisely into the category structure and would be easier to link to (section links are not very reliable). I cannot see any value in listing all the science and technology awards in one article: if someone is looking for the Xyz Award and is not sure what it is about, they will find it through a simple search for "Xyz Award".

 * Since there were no objections, I have started splitting out sections. I think the smaller lists will be more manageable, and will support more information, while this list will remain as an index. Aymatth2 (talk) 12:13, 12 January 2020 (UTC)

Awards given by the Geochemical Society
Which list would be the best place for the V. M. Goldschmidt Award, an award given by the Geochemical Society for achievements in the fields of geochemistry and cosmochemistry? It looks like the F.W. Clarke Medal (another award given by the society) is on both the List of geology awards and List of earth sciences awards, but it could also potentially go on the List of chemistry awards.
