I been told by Relata refero, which constantly deleted the category above from the article, that I should cite a source in which Roger Myerson refer to himself as Jewish if I want to add the Jewish scientists category. I didn't find such a source yet (neither did I find an opposite source) - what do you think to be the best solution?-- Gilisa 14:29, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

I don't see any reason why the fact tha Myerson is Jewish should appear in the preamble. I don't see any reason why this "quality" affects in a relevant way the reason why he is on Wikipedia.
Of course, that this fact is quoted in the body of his biography, seems natural to me. -- Fioravante Patrone en 12:30, 18 October 2007 (UTC)
But here i have managed to source it in ( http://www.israel-times.com/index.php/business/2007/10/roger-myerson-2007-nobel-prize-in-economics-3204/) there is no reason to remove it.
About the interventions of SecretaryNotSure on the appropriate name to mention the Bank of Sweden Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel (aka "Nobel Prize in Economics"):
saying that "the consensus is..." (can you "prove" this statement?) is quite different from saying "nonsense" about a statement which is simply true.
Please use more appropriate words in the "edit summary", next time, with due respect for the interventions of other contributors (and I am not referring to myself!). -- Fioravante Patrone en 05:45, 19 October 2007 (UTC)

The Mathematics Genealogy Project states ( http://www.genealogy.math.ndsu.nodak.edu/id.php?id=99809) that Myerson completed his PhD under Kenneth Arrow (of Arrow's Paradox fame) in game theory, which is not considered part of applied mathematics - probably "the mathematical theory of economics" would be a better description. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 131.111.213.38 ( talk) 14:42, 1 May 2008 (UTC)
"Roger Myerson, a game theorist at the University of Chicago who won the Nobel in economic science two years ago, gave a copy of “Foundation” to the Nobel Museum in Stockholm to commemorate the inspiration he took from Asimov’s books." -- Gwern (contribs) 10:06 22 August 2009 (GMT)
