Hello, I'm Operator873. I noticed that in this edit to List of Nobel laureates by university affiliation, you removed content without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry, the removed content has been restored. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. Operator873 CONNECT 05:32, 13 October 2017 (UTC)

Summer school
Arthur Kornberg and José Ramos-Horta attended summer school at Columbia; thus, both should be excluded. Take the case of the Berkeley Nobel laureates. George Wald and James Heckman are both excluded from the page because they only spend a summer session at UC Berkeley. Although Ingeborg Rennert Professorship was established by a $125 million dollar donation, it is still an honor or a recognition - not an actual affiliation with Columbia.

 * Columbia Summer Semester requires a separate application to the school (presently part of Columbia SPS previously GS). Several CUNY students take courses at Columbia to this day. It is not the same situation as public university system. 74.108.156.96 (talk) 07:29, 13 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Ingeborg Rennert Professorship is an actual Professorship. Saying otherwise would be to ignore the definition of a professorship.74.108.156.96 (talk) 07:35, 13 October 2017 (UTC)


 * :: Summer schools at many universities require certain kinds of applications. But they do not have the same standards as in general admission for degree programs. These summer attendees are not formal students in the university. The Ingeborg Rennert Professorship is like the "Morris Loeb Lecturer", "Lee Historical Lecturer" and "Charles Eliot Norton Professor" in Harvard University. "They are in fact awards/honors/recognition instead of an actual affiliation with the university (compared to the "Morris Loeb Long-term Lecturer"), and thus should not be counted in this list." 205.208.120.139 (talk) 07:37, 13 October 2017 (UTC)
 * I will engage with Ber31, but not IP 205 from the University of Chicago. IP is being investigated as a sock puppet of Minimumbias. The Professorship is by definition an affiliation with university.74.108.156.96 (talk) 07:41, 13 October 2017 (UTC)


 * There is a consensus that summer school-affiliated Nobel laureates should be generally excluded for the page. I would personally like you to make good contributions. You should see Consensus and discussion on the Talk page of List of Nobel laureates by university affiliation. Please don't revert contributions of others without discussing. Ingeborg Rennert Professorship is basically an honor, just like the Charles M. and Martha Hitchcock lectureship at UC Berkeley. Ber31 (talk) 07:40, 13 October 2017 (UTC)
 * You cannot compare public university undergraduate summer programs to a private undergraduate program like GS at Columbia. The latter is far more competitive and selective. There are entire sections on the Nobel talk page dedicated solely to your mismanagement of the Nobel page. You have refused to engage with this.74.108.156.96 (talk) 07:44, 13 October 2017 (UTC)


 * To 74.108.156.96, I am from the University of Chicago, but so what? Is this related to the topic we are discussing? And I have no idea who "Minimumbias" is. "Professorship" is not by definition an affiliation. For instance, honorary professorship is not an affiliation. 205.208.120.139 (talk) 07:46, 13 October 2017 (UTC)
 * The IP of Minimumbias is pending review. If it turns out you have been editing from the same IP address you could be banned indefinitely. I will wait until that investigation has been concluded.74.108.156.96 (talk) 07:48, 13 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Your IP address has been reported and is under investigation now. 205.208.120.139 (talk) 07:50, 13 October 2017 (UTC)
