List of Nobel Laureates in Physics
This is my second Nobel related list. A lot of problems that I encountered with the first one - image licensing, improper quotes, etc. have been fixed in this list, so I think it's ready to go. As always, any concerns brought forth will be addressed by me. -- Scorpion 0422  20:59, 29 October 2008 (UTC)

Support - excellent list. -- The Le ft orium  21:54, 29 October 2008 (UTC)

Support, all issues resolved. Dabomb87 (talk) 04:15, 15 November 2008 (UTC)

Sorry for the delay, but the literature list kept me busy. First set: -- Der Wohltemperierte Fuchs ( talk ) 03:08, 10 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Another blasted image review in progress
 * Image:Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen (1845--1923).jpg - missing source, date, author, making license invalid
 * Image:Pierre Curie (crop).png - missing date, author, making license invalid
 * Image:Albert Abraham Michelson2.jpg - just because it's on other encyclopedias does not prove the license
 * Image:G lippmann.jpg - without author, can't use pd-70
 * Image:Ferdinand Braun.jpg - same with this one
 * The first batch have all been removed. -- Scorpion 0422  15:32, 11 November 2008 (UTC)

-- Der Wohltemperierte Fuchs ( talk ) 03:55, 12 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Image:Johannes_Diderik_van_der_Waals.jpg - wrong license, might be PD-1923 but not PD-old
 * Fixed.
 * Image:Charles Glover Barkla.jpg - licensed under GFDL and claimed PD; no author, so PD-old not proper
 * Image:Charles Édouard Guillaume.jpg - no source or author; god-awful image anyhow
 * Second batch is done. -- Scorpion 0422  16:06, 12 November 2008 (UTC)

Also, as a general comment, if any of the above licenses are invalid, please mark them as copyvios on Commons so that they're gotten rid of for good. I like everything tidy :) -- Der Wohltemperierte Fuchs ( talk ) 18:32, 12 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Image:Niels Bohr.jpg could be cleaned up via a template, and should have PD-US in addition to the EU tag. Like this one (although that might need EU tag).
 * Done.
 * Image:Niels BohrUpOwenWillansRichardsonDownSolvay1927.JPG - god, did Bohr ever change his expression?
 * Apparantly not, is there a problem with the image?
 * Image:Broglie Big.jpg - can't use PD-old without an author... another tag accounting for anon author would work, I suppose.
 * What kind of template?
 * Image:CVRaman.jpg - using a fair use image of a dead person is shaky in general, but using it in a list as decoration is definitely so. Remove.
 * Wow, how did I miss that? It was not put in intentionally. Removed.
 * Image:180px-Werner Heisenberg.jpg - same as above.
 * Same as above. Replaced.
 * Image:Erwin Schrödinger.jpg - needs more specific PD tag.
 * Like?
 * Image:Chadwick.jpg lacks source, date, and author info
 * Removed.
 * Image:Carl anderson.1937.jpg - page needs cleanup, and explanation of what organization took the photo (author).
 * Image:Enrico Fermi 1943-49.jpg] - what's with the years after his death? Also, bad tag!
 * Done.
 * Image:Isidor Isaac Rabi.jpg - date and author?
 * Removed.
 * Image:Wolfgang Pauli2.jpg - missing verifiable source for license
 * Removed.
 * Image:Blackett-large.jpg - real author and reason for PD?
 * Removed.
 * Third batch is done. -- Scorpion 0422  19:31, 12 November 2008 (UTC)


 * I was bold and went through the rest of the list and removed all images that did not meet criteria for inclusion. Images should now all meet FLC critiera.

Comments - sources look okay, links checked out with the link checker tool. Ealdgyth - Talk 17:04, 4 November 2008 (UTC)


 * Many Laureates do not have images by their names, but most of their respective articles do. I would like to see an image by every person. If this is accomplished then I will fully support.  Reywas92 Talk  01:30, 13 November 2008 (UTC)
 * I would love for every row to have an image too, but there are two main problems:
 * Any images would have to be free use images (several of the ones you've seen have likely been fair use.
 * Many of the free images out there have outdated tags, and incomplete licensing information and thus can not be used.
 * The lack of images is not due to negligence on my part, I went through every page and added whatever free image I could find. The only way I might have missed any is if they are not on the Laureate's page. If there are any free images with proper licensing out there that I have missed, then by all means please add them. -- Scorpion 0422  01:33, 13 November 2008 (UTC)


 * Comments by SatyrTN
 * I'm a bit uncomfortable with the "Reason" column having each line start with three different things, either "for", "For", or "[for]". I understand the third one, but not why the others are different.
 * Each quotation is a copy of the Nobel website. Most of them start out with "for", but some don't, so for uniformity, [for] was added. As for the capitalization, I can go through and fix that. -- Scorpion 0422  04:13, 15 November 2008 (UTC)
 * I still feel these lists should be sortable. I know I'm "outnumbered" on this one, but there ya go.
 * [[Image:Symbol unrelated.svg|15px]] Oppose unless it's made sortable. -- SatyrTN (talk / contribs) 04:09, 15 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Could you please point out where in the criteria it says that lists need to be sortable? I am not a big fan of making it more cumbersome and repetitive simply so it will be sortable. -- Scorpion 0422  04:13, 15 November 2008 (UTC)
