Note there is a category that duplicates this list here Category:Fellows of the Royal Society. Gustav von Humpelschmumpel 00:48, 3 July 2007 (UTC)
I agree about redlinks, but they should be sourced. They are all now sourced to the list to confirm that the person is indeed FRS. Once an article is written about the person, the source can be removed as the article should have the link to prove FRS. In doing this I commented out John Aberry, because he is not on the list and I can find nothing about him. Am I missing something? -- Bduke ( talk) 23:39, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
What does the year after the name in the list mean? And why is sometimes one in brackets? 152.91.9.190 ( talk) 03:31, 7 January 2009 (UTC)
I have now checked the entries for the A and Bs, adding the year of election to the Fellowship. I have also, in a comment at the top, suggested the order:-
Can we stick with those for consistency. I am now aware just how big this list will be if we add all the Fellows. We have a tiny, tiny percent of the Bs for example. How do we handle this? I am inclined to suggest we delete all the redlinks, but I know we are still missing more than enough to replace the redlinks with Fellows we are missing who do have articles. I have written a few myself. -- Bduke (Discussion) 07:52, 9 January 2009 (UTC)
In all sources Strzelecki is written as "Sir Paul Edmund de Strzelecki" aswell as in the (original) list of the FRS. Strezelecki was born in Germany and absolved his Military Service in the Prussian Army this proofs his German nationality. After 1945 Wüstegiersdorf became Polish and the Polish name Głuszyca.

What are the criteria for inclusion in this list, rather than in the several sub-lists "ABC", DEF" etc. It seems to me that this is quite arbitrary and this list should just link to the sub-lists. What makes one Fellow more notable than another? -- Bduke (Discussion) 22:29, 17 December 2011 (UTC)
surely Boyle should be included on the "short list" of notable fellows.
The link to the index of Fellows doesn't work. It goes to the FRS site but not to the index. 4.249.96.173 ( talk) 12:27, 3 May 2012 (UTC)
Thomas Bayes was elected in 1742, and should be included. Bayes' Theorem and all that. He also published a noteworthy defense of Newton's calculus when it was attacked by Berkeley. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Joe marasco ( talk • contribs) 05:55, 28 August 2013 (UTC)

I apologize for the mistaken inclusion of this item under "link rot." That was a mistake I was unable to undo. I would appreciate it if an editor could clean up that little mess. Joe marasco ( talk) 06:08, 28 August 2013 (UTC)
