I looked through these comments and everyone seemed to be missing the blindingly obvious. Yes, you can probably make an arguement that there is discrimination going on, but, just as with the "gender wage gap", there are far more important factors in play here than just that. This is a matter of intelligence differences between the two sexes. That is not to say men are on average more intelligent than women, on the contrary, they have almost exactly the same average intelligence, although with different strengths of course. What makes the difference is that men have a higher standard deviation, as with many other aspects of human characteristics. This means that whilst they have the same average, there are more men on the fringes of the distribution curve, ie, you will find that the vast majority of the world's smartest, stupidest, tallest, shortest, skinniest, fattest, slowest, fastest, etc etc, people are men. And thus, it is because men have a higher standard of deviation in their intelligence distribution than women, that you find more men than women attain the highest academic achievements. -- 82.43.47.6 17:34, 13 October 2007 (UTC)
I took the liberty of renaming and redirecting from the Nobel page from "Women Nobel Prize laureates" to the more correct "Female Nobel Prize laureates". 6-14-2005
This article more than obviously builds an argument. Is it a true argument? Yes, of course. Is its place on wikipedia's pages? No, definitely not.

I also did some editing. I removed some of the statistics about female laureates, as they were both minor and confusingly presented, and changed one sentence to read less combatively. IronDuke 22:09, 4 November 2005 (UTC)
First off, let me apologize if my edits were abrupt or uncalled for. To that end, I am not going to revert or edit the article at this time, but present my case. To begin with, I have not, as PM Poon suggests, inserted my personal opinions into the article (I added no facts whatsoever to the article), nor have I suggested that the facts in question are anything but facts. But there are neverthless numerous problems with this article. Maybe the clearest way to express this is to take something Michaelbluejay wrote: "The figures that were excised are central to the article's thesis." This article ought not to have a thesis, and the fact that it does have a thesis (however correct that polemical thesis may be) is central to what makes it so problematic. I'll try to take this point by point.

This section represents partly own research by the editor. While the presentation of opinions on disputed issues is a legitimate encyclopedic topic, it has to be backed by sources. The presentation of statistics does not belong to this section, except if it is a citation from such a source. Moreover, if an opinion is only marginal, for example, appears only in very few editorials or other published texts, it does not belong here. Andreas 02:02, 9 November 2005 (UTC)
First and foremost, I wish to declare that I have no intention to enter into a debate. What I will do here is just to present my views, without any intention to defend them. Just read it for what it is worth, and if you do not agree, just throw it away... just as you would, with any garbage, LOL.
I have practically left Wikipedia English and am now in another Wikipedia website. However, as I always think in English first, and therefore have to write out my articles in English before translating them (guess you can figure out the standard of my translated articles, LOL), I have two options:
I decided on the first option, thus explaining why I am still around.
Given this brief background, you can understand why I do not have any strong opinions about this article (or any articles that I wrote after my decision to leave), and should anyone wants to delete my edit (even if unjustified), it is perfectly alright to me. Personally, what cheesed me off when I read this talk page were some of the arguments presented.
You mentioned: ..., I have not, as PM Poon suggests, inserted my personal opinions into the article (I added no facts whatsoever to the article)...
Had you made this statement in court, I have no doubt that you would be mauled by the defence attorney. You have made a grossly erroneous assumption that if you have not added any facts, then you have not inserted any personal opinions. The selection of which facts to present, and WHICH TO OMIT, is itself an opinion. Thus, your sentence: I also did some editing. I removed some of the statistics about female laureates, as they were both MINOR and CONFUSINGLY PRESENTED... (emphasis added) tantamounts to insertions of personal opinion.
Let me elaborate on this point:
To me, I see that your main disagreement is that you did not like the article. This explains why your "reasons" come after you decided that you did not like it, not before. You mentioned: This article ought not to have a thesis, and the fact that it does have a thesis is central to what makes it so problematic.. This "thesis" argument seems to be an afterthought, after Michaelbluejay raised it. There was no hint of it at all in your post of 4 November, LOL. (This is the reason why I do not intend to go into any debate in a forum. When one argument falters, a new one is created, LOL.)
I ought to stop here before I get drawn into a long argument, but off the cuff, I will express my views on some of the points that you have raised:
Lastly, I would like to apologize for the use of the word, "mutilate", for want of a better word. After my edit, I chanced to see this article again immediately after your edit, and my first response was "Oh dear!!! Look at what they have done to this article!" LOL. Please accept my sincere apologies. Honestly, I still can't think of another word that is more suitable, but I guess my edit ought to be deleted to if this is not the right place to post it.
While you were poking holes at this article, Cryout was more succinct when he said: This article more than obviously builds an argument. Is it a true argument? Yes, of course. Is its place on wikipedia's pages? No, definitely not. ~ cryout 10-22-2205
There is a vast difference between saying that the article is biased, and saying that this article is not suitable for a portal like Wikipedia. I have just reverted the article to the original version posted by Petaholmes, and I presumed there is no necessity to debate on my expansion of her article anymore. No hard feelings, okay? — PM Poon 05:53, 9 November 2005 (UTC)
Hi IronDuke, seems like we are always misinterpreting each other, LOL. Honestly, I did not understand the second part of your sentence: "I do not know if this quote is true, but I see no refutation of it." When you said, you "see no refutation", what do you mean by "see"? From the context of the sentence, it is not clear to me whether "see" should be interpreted literally or figuratively. In any case, it makes no sense to me either way as I will explain later.
But I thought the first part was pretty straight forward. "To quote" means "to repeat a passage". When you say, "I do not know if this QUOTE is true", you are actually asking whether "the repetition of the passage" is true. In other words, you are questioning the act of quoting, NOT its contents. Thus, if I say, "Hey, I wonder WHETHER HIS QUOTE IS TRUE. For all I know, he may just be pulling a fast one?" Was I referring to the act of quoting or its contents?
I believe most readers would construe what you had said as meaning that I might have misquoted the Swedish Academy. Had you wanted to know whether the Swedes themselves were correct in their own assertion, it would be more apt to say, "I do not know if the Swedish contention is true".
Yet, had you truly wonder, you didn't seem to have acted as if you did, LOL. What would a person normally do when he wonders? He tries to find out the truth, no? And that was exactly what I did when I read the newspapers. Andreas had contended that "this section represents partly own research by the editor".
Actually, I won't call it research. I just went into Wikipedia and search for the "List of Nobel laureates". I analysed the figures to see if the critics had any case, and I must regret to say this: "Yes, there seems to be a prima facie case against discrimination." Rather than throwing away my findings, which I should have done, I thought that I might as well share it as it does take time to work out the computation and trend analysis. I did not do any research at all, unless "studying the list of Nobel laureates" tantamounts to "research". If this is so, I would tend to think that Wikipedia is not against this kind of "research", but against those involving the collection of primary data.
The very fact that you did not want to look at those figures when presented, makes me wonder whether you were truly wondering. Aren't you interested in the truth? LOL.
Now, coming to your phrase, "I see no refutation of it". If the Swedish assertion is what you really meant, then "see" cannot be literal, because as you can "see", I am refuting it. And if it is figurative, I wonder how you "see" when you didn't even bother to find out the truth, LOL. — PM Poon 00:04, 10 November 2005 (UTC)
Hi IronDuke, you mentioned: "... the prizes reflect a long body of work, often dating back to times when women were rarely seen in laboratories[1]. What part of the preceding quote is untrue?"
To determine the truth of the statement, we need to verify against known facts. Yet, in order to verify, we must first be very clear what "long" means. What does "long" means to you? How long is "long"? 50 years, 100 years? If you have not defined how long is "long", and then verify it against known facts, how do you know that the statement is true? On what basis did you arrive at your verdict? I truly wonder, LOL.
Yet, given the ambiguity to work with, I did try to make an attempt to determine its validity by relying upon circumstantial evidence. I wrote:
From my findings, it does seem that 13.6% of Nobel prize winners in the last 20 years were men aged below 50 who had spent less than 30 years in the labs. Does "long" includes 30 years? What I am trying to infer is that if we take the most recent 20 years when women have made the most progress in all the ages, the score for winners under the age of 50 is 13.6% for men, versus 0% for women. — PM Poon 07:12, 10 November 2005 (UTC)
First off, i am glad to see that my one-liner caused such a debate. But I am not quite sure that the ultimate result should be a total removal of anything but the names of the female laureates. I am a male, and I have been called a chauvinist indeed. Still, the fact that so few women are awarded the Nobel prize strikes me every time I think about it. And this, I believe, is among the few things that undermine the mythological status of the award. Hence, the existance of the debate about female winners should be stated in the article. The versoin that I read in the beginning, and then criticised, did teach me some facts and I would appreciate it if they are brought back in a suitable way (best by the original author).
I have just had a look at the article and it looks fine to me. It currently just lists all the female winners for each prize, but it may be in the middle of an editing war and so I might have caught it at a minimalist moment. Speculation about why there are so many female laureates, or so few, is not a suitable subject for this article because there are so many other fields where a similar discussion could occur eg professions, sport and the arts. This shows that female achievement is not related to Nobel Prizes but is a separate topic in its own right. A fact-based Wiki article that analysed the reasons for and barriers to female achievement in all fields in each of the past ten or twenty decades would probably be difficult to write, though it may provide a topic for several tedious PhD theses. JMcC 18:29, 16 November 2005 (UTC)
Oh by the way a few edits are needed. The picture of Marie Curie is covering the table. Their is a logic error as well. If Bertha von Suttner was the first to win the award in 1905 then how is it that Marie Curie won the Physics award in 1903??
The current version of the article (just statistics and list of female Nobel winners) is far more NPOV than what I see in the history. event 03:44, 6 January 2006 (UTC)
I'm perplexed as to why this was added. Franklin was not a laureate. Perhaps it could be part of a new "Women who should have won the Nobel Prize" article. Also, I removed the dead link the graf referenced. IronDuke 00:50, 14 December 2005 (UTC)
According to Wikipolicy (see WP:OR), verifiable sources are required. Where are they to substantiate the information in this article and, in particular, the table? Truthanado ( talk) 21:46, 7 October 2008 (UTC)
Is this list really encyclopedic? I wonder how long would List of male Nobel laureates survive... -- Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk 00:10, 24 October 2008 (UTC)
No list of female something or other (e.g. nobel laureate) shouls exist without a male list. To have female only is sexist. No black list should exist without white or asian lists. To do so is racist. What next a list of hetrosexual nobel laureates without a list of gay ones? There should be ONLY ONE list. All the lists at present show Wikipedia to be sexist, racist and not about equality. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 171.97.132.44 ( talk) 11:19, 23 May 2015 (UTC)
Some of these winners shared the award with other people, and in some cases the rationale still reflects this, for example, the first entry for Marie Curie says "in recognition of the extraordinary services they have rendered by their joint researches". There are three solutions to this (and this could also apply to the various affiliate lists too):
I think #1 might be a good idea. There are several ways you could do this:
1903 |
Marie Curie (shared with Pierre Curie) |
France | Physics | "in recognition of the extraordinary services they have rendered by their joint researches on the radiation phenomena discovered by Professor Henri Becquerel" [1] |
OR
1903 | Marie Curie | France | Physics | "in recognition of the extraordinary services [she has] rendered by [her] joint researches on the radiation phenomena discovered by Professor Henri Becquerel". Shared prize with Pierre Curie. [1] |
Or maybe something else. -- Scorpion 0422 17:54, 4 November 2008 (UTC)
I have now added a link to this list (under "See also") in each of the articles on the individual female laureates. Previously the list does not appear to have been cited in any of the articles. I suggest that such a link is added in connection with all future female Nobel laureates. Davshul ( talk) 15:15, 7 October 2009 (UTC)

The laureates of Aung San Suu Kyi, Leymah Gbowee and Tawakel Karman all have photos in their respective articles, but not on this list. If someone could improve this list by adding properly sized versions of their photos, that would be great IMO. Finding a photo of Dorothy Crowfoot Hodgkin would be swell as well.

No list of female something or other (e.g. nobel laureate) shouls exist without a male list. To have female only is sexist. No black list should exist without white or asian lists. To do so is racist. What next a list of hetrosexual nobel laureates without a list of gay ones? There should be ONLY ONE list. All the lists at present show Wikipedia to be sexist, racist and not about equality. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 171.97.132.44 ( talk) 11:19, 23 May 2015 (UTC)
Some of these winners shared the award with other people, and in some cases the rationale still reflects this, for example, the first entry for Marie Curie says "in recognition of the extraordinary services they have rendered by their joint researches". There are three solutions to this (and this could also apply to the various affiliate lists too):
I think #1 might be a good idea. There are several ways you could do this:
1903 |
Marie Curie (shared with Pierre Curie) |
France | Physics | "in recognition of the extraordinary services they have rendered by their joint researches on the radiation phenomena discovered by Professor Henri Becquerel" [1] |
OR
1903 | Marie Curie | France | Physics | "in recognition of the extraordinary services [she has] rendered by [her] joint researches on the radiation phenomena discovered by Professor Henri Becquerel". Shared prize with Pierre Curie. [1] |
Or maybe something else. -- Scorpion 0422 17:54, 4 November 2008 (UTC)
I have now added a link to this list (under "See also") in each of the articles on the individual female laureates. Previously the list does not appear to have been cited in any of the articles. I suggest that such a link is added in connection with all future female Nobel laureates. Davshul ( talk) 15:15, 7 October 2009 (UTC)

The laureates of Aung San Suu Kyi, Leymah Gbowee and Tawakel Karman all have photos in their respective articles, but not on this list. If someone could improve this list by adding properly sized versions of their photos, that would be great IMO. Finding a photo of Dorothy Crowfoot Hodgkin would be swell as well. I would do this myself if I had the competence, but alas I have do not currently have that. G913 ( talk) 17:02, 4 December 2011 (UTC)
