[edit] To do

[edit] 1826-2006

• Complete the list
• Check all names link to correct articles
• Try to correct red links
• Check award mentioned in all articles
• Start stubs on red links, and mention award

• Also, check William Henry Perkin, which redirects to William Perkin.

1925 award would be posthumous here, or to a different William Henry Perkin. The 1879 one is probably the correct Perkin. Carcharoth 17:47, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

The Royal Society database of Fellows reveals that there is a William Henry Perkin who received the Royal Medal in 1925 who is the "Son of Sir William Henry Perkin (FRS 1866)" Scottkeir 14:33, 10 August 2007 (UTC)

Mystery solved! Thanks. Carcharoth 15:38, 10 August 2007 (UTC)

Found William Henry Perkin, Jr., have changed the "chemist" links to point there. Will fix the other ones to point to the right places. Carcharoth 16:37, 10 August 2007 (UTC)

• Awards completed and checked from start to 2006. All blue links should now be pointing to the correct people. Red links were checked and some redirects or spelling changes turned them into blue links to the right articles. Remaining red links (as of this date) probably need articles. In case they are turned blue by others creating articles about random American football players (say), I'm going to list the red links below. Not all permutations of redirects involving first and middle initials have been created. This is something that should be done. Also, the list should be double-checked with the Royal Society's list, as a few of them in this article are in the wrong order, and some silent correction of spelling or expanding of names has taken place.
