Talk:Shaw Prize

historical prizes
can anyone find a list of the laureates from pre-2004? i couldn't find one with a few minutes of googling, but it would be nice to have Roadnottaken (talk) 16:53, 8 September 2008 (UTC)
 * The awards are first presented in 2004, hence there are no laureates prior to 2004. OhanaUnitedTalk page 21:18, 15 January 2009 (UTC)

Redundancy
Why do we list each year multiple times, once for each winner that year, with corresponding (identical) rationales repeated so often? This can be easily avoided using a rowspan. (The only downside is an apparent Mediawiki bug that inteferes with sorting, but the table is already sorted by year, and there seems no good reason to want sorting by name or country, for such small tables.) For an example of what I'm talking of, compare the "mathematical sciences" section here and here. Shreevatsa (talk) 20:15, 18 June 2010 (UTC)
 * During the FL process, it was suggested that the tables should be sortable. But I guess you are right, sorting seems less useful here. So, feel free to restore your version. Though please keep the article consistent. Either all the tables are sortable, or all of them have rowspans.— Chris! c / t 20:44, 18 June 2010 (UTC)
 * I've made the change, out of some masochistic reason. :-) Note that this also lets the table make it clearer that two life sciences prizes were awarded in 2004. The only unfortunate(?) consequence is that while earlier the first two tables were displayed at reduced width (because of the images) and the third at full width, now all three are displayed at the same width. Of course, removing one of the images or slightly decreasing their height would restore the previous situation. While it's good to have images, the tables look prettier (I feel) without line breaks. :-) Shreevatsa (talk) 22:13, 18 June 2010 (UTC)

Error?
Andrew Wiles works in Princeton but he's British, not American. Is there a reason for US instead of UK being there? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.175.50.70 (talk) 12:08, 19 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Not an error. All nationality on this page is based on the Shaw Prize Foundation website. This is done to avoid any pointless debate about nationalities.— Chris! c / t 21:26, 20 June 2010 (UTC)


 * It seems to me that if debate has already occurred on the recipient's page, it would make more sense to go with that. Wouldn't it be possible to simply say that all debate on nationality should occur at the recipient's article, rather than to contradict the information present in his/her article? RobHar (talk) 13:59, 11 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Well, all the Nobel prize lists use the nationality listed by the Nobel foundation, not the person's actual one. I am just following the same format. If a note is there to explain that all the nationality info comes from the prize foundation, then I think it is fine. Contradiction isn't really an issue, imo, since the determination of nationality sometimes is contradictory in itself.— Chris! c / t 23:10, 11 December 2010 (UTC)

Are you sure about Ruslan Medzhitov's nationality? Here is a link to Shaw Prize Foundation website: http://www.shawprize.org/en/shaw.php?tmp=3&twoid=65. There is nothing about Uzbekistan. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 119.40.118.36 (talk) 02:38, 11 August 2011 (UTC)

Edit Request
Hi fellow Wikipedians,

I am working with the Shaw Prize Secretariat as an Operations Manager and would like to ask a peer to review and edit the following content for the Shaw Prize article:

1. Under the "Background" - As of 2020, 52 prizes have been awarded to 88 individuals.

2. Under the "Background" - 14 Nobel laureates—Jules Hoffmann, Bruce Beutler, Saul Perlmutter, Adam Riess, Shinya Yamanaka, Robert Lefkowitz, Brian Schmidt, Jeffrey C. Hall, Michael Rosbash, Michael W. Young, Kip Thorne, Rainer Weiss, P. James E. Peebles and Michel Mayor—were previous laureates of the Shaw Prize.

3. Under "Mathematical sciences" - for 2010, the country of Jean Bourgain should be USA instead of Belgium as he was affiliated with IAS Princeton at the time of award.
