Template talk:Infobox Scientist

This is one of those things from Wikipedia that Citizendium could live without. Fredrik Johansson 03:58, 14 March 2007 (CDT)

Despite having done a partial fix for this infobox, I do have reservations. There is so much trivia in there and if all fields are filled this will take up a huge space. The field that really caught my eye was the doctoral students. I can see no good reason for listing doctoral students, if some are impressive or relevant then they'll be mentioned int he prose. I can possibly see the advantage of the template acting as quick reference for biographical details and an good place to have a picture, however, the level of redundancy with the text is huge. Most stiking is, why have a title for the infobox when it is on a titled page? Chris Day (Talk) 04:40, 14 March 2007 (CDT)
