18 Wikipedia versions in different languages

[edit]

This article has 18 different language versions, most started since Wikimania in August. As former Wikipedian in residence at the Royal Society, I can claim some credit for arranging for this and the other photos of new Fellows to be on Commons, but I'm puzzled, but very gratified, as to why this one has been so widely used in new articles. Can anyone shed any light? Thanks to all those involved anyway! Johnbod (talk) 11:41, 8 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

A couple of days after Wikimania finished, he was awarded a Fields Medal at the 2014 International Congress of Mathematicians, arguably the most prestigious prize for mathematics in the world (it's generally regarded as equivalent to a Nobel Prize; up to four are awarded at the ICM every four years). My guess is that this had something to do with it: the articles for the other three 2014 medallists (Artur Avila, Manjul Bhargava and Maryam Mirzakhani) also have versions in lots of different languages, especially Mirzakhani, who is the first woman ever to win one. -- Nicholas Jackson (talk) 12:04, 8 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Ok, thanks - that fits the dates. Johnbod (talk) 16:17, 8 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]


Is the link to HairerSoft spam? If he's really connected to that, it would deserve further citations and explanation! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.162.80.246 (talk) 21:16, 24 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

It's definitely his website, and the site from which he distributes and supports his award-winning audio editing software, so I think it's worth a mention at least. But if you disagree, or have suggestions on how best to do this, then let's talk about it. -- Nicholas Jackson (talk) 17:41, 28 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Citizenship

[edit]

I do have dual British and Austrian citizenship as mentioned in a number of recent newspaper articles. I have amended the page accordingly, please do not revert this again. The Imperial College article cited by the editor is incorrect and I asked it to be amended. Hairer (talk) 21:51, 11 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
