Talk:IEEE/RSE James Clerk Maxwell Medal

Latest comment: 6 years ago by Jenks24 in topic Requested move 15 November 2017


Attention needed edit

The title of the article may have to be renamed to "IEEE/Royal Society Maxwell Medal" to better reflect the actual award. It is a medal award, just like other IEEE Medals. Also, we need to give credit to Royal Society of Edinburgh for jointly hosting and sponsoring this award with IEEE. Wiki senior editors who have the right to amend please consider. Thanks.

IEEE Maxwell Award → ? – Requesting page name change. Current name is IEEE Maxwell Award. But accurately, it should be IEEE/RSE Maxwell Medal. The medal is jointly awarded by IEEE and Royal Society of Edinburgh. Also, it is a medal, not merely an award. An award can be a certificate or prize money. But a medal usually refers to a minted coin engraved after some famous person or some professional society. Hence, requesting for the name change to accurately reflect the content and topic. Thanks.
