The scholarship section of the article doesn't really conform to the standards of an encyclopedia in so far as the information given is not general enough. I strongly encourage interested and competent Wikipedians to shorten the corresponding sub-sections and broaden them to give a general overview of Goldin's research. -- Arbraxan ( talk) 08:06, 4 March 2018 (UTC) reply

The scholarship section could be updated with more recent journal articles published by Goldin. - Hoiching.janis ( talk) 22:43, 24 March 2019 (UTC) reply

Suggestion

As with other Nobel laureates this year, they all had intricate, WP:PUFFERY or just too many primary sources in the "Research section". I would advice to remove the section or most of the section, and write a new one following the sources we have already. There is already plenty of information in the background article from the Nobel foundation. ReyHahn ( talk) 14:16, 11 October 2023 (UTC) reply

What's the importance of noting her Jewish roots?

"Goldin was born in New York City in 1946 to a Jewish family...." I don't know why the insertion other than to qualify her for Wikipedia's list of "Jewish-American economists" (bottom of the page). (In fact, why on earth is there such a list? Why all the other Jewish-American this-and-that lists? So Jews can kvell? So anti-Jews can have a convenient roster of whom to hate? Why is it important to categorize people? Is Goldin left-handed, perhaps? Red-haired? Should I care?) If something in her personal or professional life indicates that she has Jewish roots (membership in a Jewish organization, e.g.), fine. But here--as so often throughout Wikipedia--I don't see it. 68.186.241.185 ( talk) 14:17, 11 October 2023 (UTC) reply

This can be said of most anyone falling into the Category:People by religion hierarchy. A good place to discuss your concerns would be by starting a new discussion over at Wikipedia talk:Categorizing articles about people. Please do not reply or add comments to archived discussions.-- ☾Loriendrew☽ (ring-ring) 16:11, 11 October 2023 (UTC) reply
See also: Wikipedia talk:Categorizing articles about people#Jew tagging. According to the guidance at Category:Jews, Goldin should not be categorized as Category:Jewish American economists. Further, nothing in the article warrants that phrasing ("to a Jewish family") in the 1st sentence of "Biography". Just because it can be verified doesn't mean it has to be included – stuff has to be relevant, not just stuff.

"benefice" should be "benefits", right? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 73.246.47.16 ( talk)

First economic historian to win the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences?

If this is the case I think it should be mentioned in the entry. Mistico Dois ( talk) 01:05, 15 October 2023 (UTC) reply
