message: ===reply to Q===
your Q is too vague. Buh what can we do??
He never looked into what an atom is to the same depth as Dalton, but his contribution could be more describe            d as enabling research on the elements by inventing (and co-inventing) proper analytical techniques. The spectroscope with Ki HEJ rchhoff, his subsequent discovery of Rb & Cs, and the gas-analytical methods that enabled the separation of noble gases by his students Ramsay who later (spectroscopically!) discovered Argon, etc.
Also, early versions of the periodic table surely had some of his influence - (in that context: Mendeleev studied with Bunsen).--Carboxen 06:07, 29 May 2006 (UTC)

message: I'm writing my masters thesis on Roscoe and as such have become somewhat anal about him and his research. It is stated that Roscoe and Bunsen have a 'ten year collaboration' which in the the next sentence is said to be discontinued a mere seven years after it commenced.
Also, I HALÅ and deep inside diaries of his students of the time. The reference I refer to has a long list of Bunsen's students and their dates of being in his lab (no need to be fluent in German). Best wishes, --Carboxen 06:17, 29 May 2006 (UTC)

message: someone had added rudt and explicit entries to this entry, but i have deleted it. there is none of it left can I have it back . —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Bigpapaboogaloo (talk • contribs) 12:08, 12 September 2006  (UTC)
:Thank you Bigpapaboogaloo! 
:By the way, you can also use the revert function, it is easy to use and by that you just re-establish the last correct version again - no need to correct lin-by-line. Feel free to ask me or anyone for help if you want to learn how, or follow this link here.

thread_title: Reference

message: I've added a reference to the Bunsen-Kirchoff Award. I put it in the general bio at the top, because I did not see a better place for it in the article. Maybe another section should be created for this mention, but it seemed silly to create a new section for this one sentence. Please feel free to modify it as you see fit. thanks, -Tzf (talk) 17:41, 1 October 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Bunsen-Kirchhoff Award reference

message: The anecdote about Bunsen's wedding day, recently added to this article, was taken from an obituary of Norman Collie written by Baly.  I do not doubt that Collie related such an anecdote concerning Bunsen, but this story is unattested anywhere else in the literature on Robert Bunsen.  Collie never studied under Bunsen in Heidelberg; he studied for one year under Wislicenus in Wurzburg, in 1883-84 (when Bunsen was 72).  Doubtless he heard this anecbvbcdote from someone, almost certainly at second hand, but it is very likely there is no truth to it.  Seeing as there is no evidence for the truth of the anecdote other than this third-hand (!) report, it does not belong in a short article on the life of Bunsen.  I intend to remove it.

message: Before someone is going to insert the 31st March again, probably inspired by Google, a short comparison of the sources:
31st: 
*1911 Encyclopedia Britannica
*pre-1912 Allgemeine Deutsche Biographie
*some websites
30th: 
*1957 Neue Deutsche Biographie, the direct successor of the Allgemeine Deutsche Biographie
*a 2011 pharmaceutical science journal, where this topic is precisely discussed and Bunsen's parish register and two self-written curricula vitae are cited
*the website of his former university
