Revision as of 09:13, 10 December 2009
Catalog
What about using {{r|Marie Curie||1903: }}? This would give
1903: Marie Curie [r]: (1867-1934), Polish-French physicist (Nobel Prize in 1903) and chemist (Nobel Prize in 1911), famous for her work on radioactivity. [e]
But since the year is invariably also stated in the definition, we might as well leave it out in the front column, just use it for ordering:
{{r|Marie Curie||}} would give
Marie Curie [r]: (1867-1934), Polish-French physicist (Nobel Prize in 1903) and chemist (Nobel Prize in 1911), famous for her work on radioactivity. [e]

- Do I understand correctly that you want definitions in the table? That's against what I'm trying to do. I try to keep the table as compact as possible (I'm now adding the reasons why the Nobelists got the prize, and that is already quite long in some cases). IMHO in the table there is no space for definitions.--Paul Wormer 14:19, 10 December 2009 (UTC)
