A news item involving Frederick Sanger was featured on Wikipedia's Main Page in the In the news section on 20 November 2013. |
The opening para says he's the only one to win the nobel prize twice "in chemistry", but the next paragraph says there were 4 -- 3 now deceased -- to have won twice. This just means in other fields, I assume? It should be stated as such.
Why not list the other 3? And their fields.
Someone who knows the details pls tweak these paras.
There are 4 scientists who have won the Nobel Prize twice, namely Marie Curie (1 Ph, 1 Ch), John Bardeen (2 Ph), Frederick Sanger (2 Ch), and Linus Pauling (1 Ch, 1 Peace). Sanger is the only person who has won the prize in the field of chemistry twice, with the other 3 winning twice in different fields. — Preceding unsigned comment added by BatteryChen ( talk • contribs) 05:16, 12 May 2013 (UTC)

The article states that he was 40 in 1916 when he married. Given that he was born in 1918, this seems unlikely on all levels. Correction required. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.107.50.135 ( talk) 21:34, 21 November 2013 (UTC)
I have removed a number of edits by GPieczenik ( talk · contribs) as unsourced. Neither the citations in the main article nor the existing citations in this article support the additions made. While I am not an expert in this subject matter, and I have no reason to believe that the edits are not accurate, we will need verifiable and reliable sources before adding the content to this encyclopedia. Please discuss the material and sources before adding again. Thank you. -- Tgeairn ( talk) 21:18, 12 May 2012 (UTC)
It says that he went up to Cambridge in 1936 and took 3 years to do his Part 1, but still graduated in 1939. When did he fit in his Part 2 study? 194.39.218.10 ( talk) 15:19, 26 April 2013 (UTC)
Does anyone have a reference for the death date of 19 November? I've not been able to find anything beyond the fact of his death. Espresso Addict ( talk) 13:22, 20 November 2013 (UTC)
He could have been a better baronet than Mark Thatcher. What a shit! Lisbeth, hey! -- 83.220.238.65 ( talk) 23:24, 7 July 2014 (UTC)

should the descriptions of his two Nobel Prizes merely be the official citations which are written in a stiff, rather unfriendly style? I feel like his first could be something like for determining the structure of numerous proteins, most importantly insulin and the second for the invention of the first-ever DNA sequencing technique, largely still in use today.
