[edit] Sortable list format

This list could be made more powerful, & probably more useful, by making it sortable by year or surname. See the prototype on my user page. Points to consider:

• Why not amalgamate the centuries? It seems rather arbitrary to classify GH Hardy—to take but one example—under 19th century, given that his important work was done in the 20th.

• By standardizing the terms used under Profession, it would be possible to group together OWs who have worked in the same field.

Please go ahead & copy the 20th century list from my page, then convert the remainder of the list to the same format. --NigelG (or Ndsg) | Talk 22:14, 24 January 2008 (UTC)
