Multiple issues

Wikipedia:Notability and Wikipedia:Verifiability tags have been placed on this article.

To address the first concern, I have added two sentences which describes the notability of the IUCr Ewald Prize. This material references the following quotations (emphasis added):

"In 2020, she (Olga Kennard) received the Ewald Prize from the International Union of Crystallography for her outstanding contributions to crystallography. This recognition is the highest in this field of science."^[1]
"In 2017 Professor Blundell was awarded the acclaimed Ewald Prize, one of the most prestigious available in the field of crystallography, in recognition of his worldwide leadership of crystallographic innovation."^[2]
"Their work literally opened new vistas, and the IUCr awarded its coveted Ewald Prize in 2014 to Janner and Janssen..."^[3]
"The prestigious Ewald Prize, awarded since 1987 by the International Union of Crystallography for outstanding contributions to the field, has gone to just one woman out of 14 winners."^[4]
"Philip Coppens, Ph.D., SUNY Distinguished Professor and Henry M. Woodburn Chair of Chemistry in the Department of Chemistry in the University at Buffalo's College of Arts and Sciences, has been awarded the prestigious Ewald Prize by the International Union of Crystallography."^[5]
"J.M. Cowley & A.F. Moodie, the first recipients of the prestigious Ewald Prize established by the I.U.Cr. in 1987."^[6]

To address the second concern, the references I have added are all to non-IUCr secondary sources and the authors are not employed by, or associated with, the IUCr. István Hargittai is a Hungarian chemist who has written and edited many books. Marjorie Senechal is an American mathematician who edited The Mathematical Intelligencer for many years. Ellen Goldbaum appears to have been employed by SUNY Buffalo at the time of writing her news piece. Beth Mole was a journalist for Science News. Michael Woolfson was a British physicist and FRS.

Thanks for adding these sources. Not all of them are independent, such as when a university publication mentions that a faculty member has received this award and of course they'll say it's a prestigious award, ever seen a news release that "professor John Doe has received the really obscure minor Blablaa award"? But in all, I think this justifies removing the tags. --Randykitty (talk) 14:17, 29 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
