Is the second "s" in "Josesph" his father's name "John Josesph Hopfield" correct? (probably not). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 138.251.155.236 (talk) 18:01, 21 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

No, it's not. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.168.181.72 (talk) 22:08, 24 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Section format

Currently, the "Awards and honors" section is in a prose format. In the French article, I formatted it as a list. Do you think it is better or worse? The main advantage is that it's faster to read when everything is formatted on a different line, and it eliminates some words that don't carry meaning. But it may not have as much of a narrative flow. If you think the formatting of the French article is clearly better, I may apply it to the English version also.

WP:PROSE is preferred here because it allows to expand on the nature of the prizes.--ReyHahn (talk) 08:09, 13 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The list format can be made to have the same information in it. But if you still prefer prose, that's fine, I'll let it as it is. Alenoach (talk) 14:09, 13 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
