ERRORS[edit]

There is a link to Martin Saunders which is an Error. Thus the link is not to Martin Saunders of Yale University. AND NOT A BAND LEADER. I TRIED TO REPAIR THIS AND WAS UNABLE TO REMOVE THE LINK. PERHAPS SOME ADMINISTRATOR OR OTHER EDITOR CAN FIX THIS. THERE IS NO BIO-MATERIAL FOR HIM THAT I CAN FIND, SO IT IS NOT JUST A MATTER OF CHANGING THE LINK. ---- !!!! HEZ

Fixed. Chzz ► 21:46, 22 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Also[edit]

One omission is Laura Kiessling of the University of Wisconsin

Another Error I see is the Link for Charles Casey. He is a Chemistry Professor at the University of Wisconsin but the Link is to an Irish Lawyer.

I see Errors above that I've listed have not been fixed but I am not able to do that. Hez (talk) 22:32, 15 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It is not an error of any kind. Obviously there are many people with the same name, so on Wikipedia a separate article is created with a disambiguator, see Michael Smith. As for who gets to be the Primary topic, thats another debate. Snappy (talk) 19:51, 16 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

If it wasn't an error, why did you fix it? [1] Chzz ► 21:42, 22 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I added Kiessling. [2] Chzz ► 21:52, 22 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Deceased members[edit]

The convention for the lists of members of the National Academy of Sciences has been to adhere to the lede's statement "This list does not include deceased members." This article, however, has begun to tag deceased members with a "(d)". There has also been no apparent attempt to retroactively add other deceased members from decades past. Would there be any objections if I removed the "(d)" tagged entries, so this list would conform with the other lists of members of the National Academy of Sciences? — Myasuda (talk) 01:12, 13 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
