For a comprehensive list of scientists may I suggest a blog I came across recently

topscientists.rediffblogs.com

Why is a complete nut like Karl Schappeller listed here as a scientist? 141.2.22.211 14:51, 4 September 2006 (UTC)Reply

Hi! I have some suggestions for improving the organization of this category. I thought to put them here to make clear what I'm doing, and to see what others think. They all seem pretty minor to me, but I wanted to make sure. :) The "Ancient scientists" and "Medieval scientists‎" categories are redundant because they are both in the "Scientists by period‎" category. The "List of female scientists before the 21st century" page would fit into that category pretty well too. It is already in the "Women scientists" category. Afterwards that page should be removed from this category. Perhaps a "Scientists by religion" category could be created? The "Roman Catholic cleric–scientists‎" page and the "Quakers in science" page would both fit well there. The "Heimatforscher" page would fit well into the "Scientists by field" category. The "Geoprofessions" page doesn't really seem to fit in this category. I think it would be a good idea to move it to the "Scientific disciplines‎" category. Gentlemen scientists pay for their own work, and government scientists are paid for, obviously, by the government. Maybe a "Scientist by funding" or similar could be created? The "International Network in Biolinguistics" is a group, so I think it would fit better into the "Facilities and organizations of science‎" category. I'd appreciate any feedback! Also, if someone else could help actually reorganizing, I'd be immensely grateful. Thank you very much for reading this! JonathanHopeThisIsUnique (talk) 13:20, 19 June 2014 (UTC)Reply
