message: I think it is better to give the full citation instead of our summaried words on their contributions.
I find the citation italicizing to be very ugly. Could we make a note if something is not the literal original citation instead? 216.165.95.70 (talk) 01:58, 1 April 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Some of the entries in that column seem to have been replaced with the original citations. As I see it, this could probably be solved by using the full citations, and then put links in the technical terms, in case people don't know what those are. But I agree, the italics have gotta go... I'll do it myself in a moment, if its simple enough Were-Aardwolf (talk) 21:51, 8 October 2010 (UTC)

Similarly: Andrew Yao.  I would suggest to remove this uncertain data (temporarily below). What do you think? kuszi 19:21, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: and this is relevant because....what? User:Ejrrjs  says What? 21:40, 9 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  text is moved from article, possible it is irrelevant. Consult Andrew Yao and Raj Reddy (there is no China and India). kuszi 19:33, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

replies: text:  Then fix it. If it is proper to list Nobel laureates by nationality, it is proper here. Perhaps the French and Russians feel slighted. Or perhaps the reason is the iron rule of Wikiganda -- never show Israel in a positive light.68.5.64.178 11:09, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  Ugh, I just spent an hour or so trying to politely explain to the above user what notability is and addressing what I perceived as their misconceptions about Wikipedia's "liberal bias" without calling a spade a spade (I even went to the trouble of looking up policy guidelines like that one!), only to notice that it was posted 4 years ago. I feel so stupid! But at least this section of the discussion is better titled now, right? Were-Aardwolf (talk) 23:06, 8 October 2010 (UTC)

message: Many of the Award lectures are available online and are linked off the ACM site. It would be nice if somebody was inspired to put the links here. (Not all of them are available from the recipients' articles either.) --Clconway 07:45, 22 June 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Lectures

message: I gave up reading the citations because they're in italics. I think the columns provide enough distinction, and plain text would make the citations easier to read.

message: I just added an Israeli flag for Michael O. Rabin.  Everyone else has one and though he was born in Germany/Poland, he is clearly Israeli.    Randall Bart    Talk   23:34, 17 December 2010 (UTC)

message: I think it's better to add countries for all recipients for two main reasons:
:1. This information is mentioned on the official site of ACM A.M. Turing Awards.
:2. The country of origin is mentioned in other prizes as well like Nobel Prize of Wolf Prize.
:I believe it's best to add the country mentioned on the official website and maybe add the country of birth (if it is different). Gaigutherz (talk) 00:09, 27 January 2019 (UTC)

thread_title: Table formatting is broken

message: Hi all, any objection to adding a column to the recipients table to list the awardee's affiliation at time of award? Inspired by Fields_Medal#Fields_medalists which was mentioned repeatedly at a couple of recent AfDs. I'd boldly do it, but I don't typically edit in this topic and don't want to stomp on anyone's toes, or act against past consensus I"m unaware of. So if no objections, I'll get to it in a few days. Ajpolino (talk) 20:02, 24 October 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: Ajpolino No objection here, I like the Fields Medal list and that looks like a positive change! Caleb Stanford (talk) 20:45, 24 October 2021 (UTC)
thread_title: Adding affiliation at time of award to table

message: I've added a bunch of missing images to the article. For the record, we are still missing images for E. Allen Emerson, Alfred Aho, and Jeffrey Ullman and we could use higher-quality images for several of the others, particularly John Cocke and Manuel Blum. Caleb Stanford (talk) 02:25, 13 November 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: For the record, your additions violated WP:NFCC, which does not allow fair-use images in this kind of context, and have been reverted by a bot that checks for such things. If the bot hadn't reverted it, someone else (like me) would have instead. We need *free* images of those people. Images not available under a free license cannot be used. —David Eppstein (talk) 08:21, 13 November 2021 (UTC)
replies: text:  My apologies, I was not aware that free-use restrictions are not page-independent. Caleb Stanford (talk) 14:41, 13 November 2021 (UTC)

text: Whether a fair use justification can be made: no. Fair use is allowable for images of dead people, on their biographical article. It is not allowable for galleries and lists, per WP:NFCC. Note that Wikipedia's requirements for when images can be used under fair use are significantly stricter than the legal requirements, deliberately, as a way to encourage the creation of open content. Material from ACM can be assumed to be copyrighted under a non-open license unless explicitly stated otherwise, and in the case of the link you give, we don't even have to assume: it says explicitly "Copyright 2019 Association for Computing Machinery. All rights reserved." You can try to persuade ACM to release the images under a sufficiently open license but it's a big bureaucracy; I doubt you'll have much luck. Many of these people are still alive; track them down, get permission to photograph them, do so, and upload the images under a free license. —David Eppstein (talk) 19:13, 14 November 2021 (UTC)
replies: text:  Noted, thanks. I sent an email, not really expecting a reply but we'll see. Caleb Stanford (talk) 20:35, 14 November 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: Be sure to distinguish "you have permission to use this image for this purpose" from "we are releasing this image to anyone under an open license". Only the open license is acceptable for use on Wikipedia; permission that applies only to Wikipedia use is not good enough. —David Eppstein (talk) 20:43, 14 November 2021 (UTC)
