Ewald Prize timeline entries

@VaudevillianScientist: I am considering removing all but the first of the 13 timeline entries for Ewald Prize winners for the following reasons:

There is a new article for the Ewald Prize which lists all the winners.
The timeline is now very long and could do with some cutting down, and the Ewald prize entries tend to be somewhat longer than the average.
The dates of the awarding of the Ewald prizes are often much later than the dates of the crystallographic work that they were based on. This is because, in many cases, the prize is awarded for lifetime achievement in crystallography. This makes the date given in the timeline somewhat misleading.
For Nobel prize winners I make two entries, one in the year of the discovery, and another in the year of the Nobel prize award. This would be more difficult to do with Ewald prize winners as often there is no specific single date of a major discovery or invention.

I would be grateful for your view on these proposed changes. GreatStellatedDodecahedron (talk) 13:59, 14 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@GreatStellatedDodecahedron, I agree with your proposed changes. Thanks for consulting me on the matter. I'm not too worried that the timeline article is getting longer. The prizes are better placed in their own lists because they are more about the award date than the discovery date. In addition to the Ewald prize, I think the timeline page can include a list of Nobel prizes related to crystallography as a sublist. VaudevillianScientist (talk) 05:02, 25 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
