Talk:Turing Award
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I've just added the fields that each recipient was working under. This information is paraphrased from the info on the ACM site at [1], and may contain errors in interpretation. I would appreciate it if someone a little more knowledgeable could check this through. HappyDog 13:02, 15 Dec 2003 (UTC)
[edit] Turing Citations
I think it is better to give the full citation instead of our summaried words on their contributions.
[edit] Raj Reddy?
What nationality is he counted under?
Similarly: Andrew Yao. I would suggest to remove this uncertain data (temporarily below). What do you think? kuszi 19:21, 6 June 2006 (UTC).
==Nationality== Most Turing Award recipients are Americans. The national distribution of Turing Award recipients from [[1966]] to [[2005]] was: * United States: 35 * United Kingdom: 5 * Israel: 3 * Canada: 2 * Norway: 2 * Netherlands: 1 * Switzerland: 1 * Denmark: 1

- Then fix it. If it is proper to list Nobel laureates by nationality, it is proper here. Perhaps the French and Russians feel slighted. Or perhaps the reason is the iron rule of Wikiganda -- never show Israel in a positive light.68.5.64.178 11:09, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Lectures
Many of the Award lectures are available online and are linked off the ACM site. It would be nice if somebody was inspired to put the links here. (Not all of them are available from the recipients' articles either.) --Clconway 07:45, 22 June 2006 (UTC)
