So inclusion of his former nationality is legitimate per the guideline. ―― Phoenix7777 ( talk) 21:39, 11 October 2014 (UTC)
{{Shuji Nakamura (中村 修二 Nakamura Shūji?, born May 22, 1954) is a American professor at the Materials Department of the College of Engineering, University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB),[3] and is regarded as the inventor of the blue LED, a major breakthrough in lighting technology.[4] While in Japan, while still a Japanese citizen,(insert reference here) together with Isamu Akasaki and Hiroshi Amano, he was one of the three recipients of the 2014 Nobel Prize for Physics "for the invention of efficient blue light-emitting diodes, which has enabled bright and energy-saving white light sources".}}
Are you serious? Such wordy expression is unnecessary. Just Japanese-American is enough.―― Phoenix7777 ( talk) 21:16, 12 October 2014 (UTC)

On Tuesday, the Royal Swedish Academy awarded the 2014 Nobel Prize in physics to Isamu Akasaki and Hiroshi Amano of Japan and Shuji Nakamura of the United States.
I would like to know the reasoning behind describing him solely as an American and not Japanese. He spent most of his career in Japan, and as far as I know he never relinquished his Japanese citizenship. I could not find any sources to back that claim. Without any indication to the contrary, we should apply Occam's razor and describe him in the lead-in as Japanese. --hello, i'm a member | talk to me! 02:42, 12 October 2014 (UTC)
Diode Diode, burning bright, On the breadboard in the night; What immortal hand or eye, Could frame thy quantum supersymmetry?

' 3 orders of magnitude (more than 100 times) brighter'
3 orders of magnitude is 1000 brighter. So what is it? 100x or 1000x brighter?
