Crafoord Prize

Another prize list. Based on our rather neat featured topic of Nobel Prize laureate lists, some rather cool markup used for that intricate table (well I think so!), illustrated and referenced. The Rambling Man (talk) 15:22, 5 July 2009 (UTC)

Just a note, good sir, that you currently have five running FLCs. Regards, Dabomb87 (talk) 21:11, 5 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Indeed. It's not like they're overflowing with unresolved comments!  Cheers! The Rambling Man (talk) 10:22, 6 July 2009 (UTC)


 *  Comments Weak support

I don't usually comment on prose, but I have some questions. --Crzycheetah 03:32, 8 July 2009 (UTC)

 * ...1982 no women... - comma after 1982?
 * All addressed, thanks. The Rambling Man (talk) 07:26, 8 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Why are you using the percentages for the columns? I previewed the table without those % and I didn't notice any changes.
 * Well, removing the %'s for me on IE7 with a moderate horizontal resolution (<1600px) results in the nationalities wrapping round, so since it's not causing any problems, I'm going to leave it as is. The Rambling Man (talk) 07:22, 9 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Why are you disrespecting Toshio Hirano, the lone red link?
 * No disrepecting, it was red when I found it. I didn't create any of the others.  I have, however, now created a stub for Hirano.  The Rambling Man (talk) 07:22, 9 July 2009 (UTC)

 * The recipient of the Crafoord Prize is announced each year in mid-January; on Crafoord Day in April, the prize is presented by the King of Sweden who also presents the awards at the December Nobel Prize Award Ceremony. -- presents what awards?

 * the disease from which Holger Crafoord severely suffered in his last years. -- why not just mention his first name?
 * Fine, done. The Rambling Man (talk) 16:15, 9 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Table
 * I'll take it that the tables can't be sortable because some entries use row/colspans right?
 * Correct. A shame, I know, but while sortability is desriable, it isn't a requirement.  I wish there was an easy way (or indeed, any way) of doing it otherwise. The Rambling Man (talk) 16:15, 9 July 2009 (UTC)
