Talk:Albert Szent-Györgyi

message: Albert Szent-Györgyi was nominated for the V0.5 release. However, this article is not well-referenced and is not comprehensive: there's not much on Albert Szent-Györgyi's work, for example, and the article would benefit from some restructuring so his research is not buried in his biography. The scope is also fairly limited, and I don't think the subject is sufficiently notable to warrant inclusion in V0.5. With some work, this article might make it into a later release. -- bcasterline • talk 05:20, 31 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Just replying this part: I don't think the subject is sufficiently notable to warrant inclusion in V0.5.; well, I'm sure a few people would disagree who use Vitamin-C as either in the form of pills or by using Vitamin-C-rich food. :-) He didn't get the Nobel prize for nothing, no offense. (As other Nobel laureates, either; that's quite a notable achievement…) --grin ✎ 10:56, 15 June 2011 (UTC)

message: I think his name is nagyrápolti Szent-Györgyi Albert, so there is no "von". It is German, we don't use "von" in Hungary. The Hungarian Wikipedia  does not write "von".  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.56.206.12 (talk) 17:50, 31 March 2011 (UTC)

message: The Move to the United States section begins with "In 1688, Szent-Györgyi established the Institute for Muscle Research at the Marine Biological Laboratory in Woods Hole, Massachusetts with financial support from Hungarian businessman Stephen Rath." Obviously, 1688 is not the correct date. Does anyone know what is?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.61.255.151 (talk) 04:07, 16 September 2011 (UTC)

message: Why is his ancestry mentioned? That section of the article does not suggest his ancestry is meaningful or famous in any way. Wikipedia articles on people do not usually provide a family tree. I recommend deletion of that section.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.178.208.167 (talk) 07:13, 16 September 2011 (UTC)

message: The page places Szent-Györgyi in the 'American Tax Resisters' category. However, nowhere else on the page is that referenced nor can I find any such information confirming that in a web search.

thread_title:  Tax Resister? 

message: Since this is semi-protected and I'm anon, I just want to reference this source, which I stumbled upon here at nndb.com. It gives extra dates for his first wife, names a first daughter not mentioned in the wikipedia article, and a few other dates too. There's probably other information in there which could be useful in the article. Perhaps someone more keen than I (sorry!) would like to look at it.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.158.45.40 (talk) 08:19, 16 September 2011 (UTC)

message: Under the Legacy line the reference to the Google Doodle is in honor of his 118th birthday and not the 108th birthday.

thread_title:  Edit request from Sskodak, 16 September 2011 

message: I added (or rather, attempted to add) an IPA pronunciation for this article (See WP: IPA for Hungarian) with what little knowledge I have acquired for the pronunciation of Hungarian words. Someone more knowledgeable, especially a native speaker, should verify this, and please post a reply comment on this discussion page. For the purpose of comparison, please see the German language page, :de:Albert von Szent-Györgyi Nagyrápolt, as the Hungarian language (Magyar) page :hu:Albert von Szent-Györgyi Nagyrápolt lacks the native pronunciation. Furthermore, if there is an anglicization of Szent-Györgyi's name, please include that as well. Thanks! Adavis444 (talk) 15:11, 16 September 2011 (UTC)

message: Ths infobox says he is "known_for = vitamin C, discovering the components
and reactions of the citric acid cycle".  The line-break appears to assume a particular screen width; on my display it appears halfway though the second line, making what could be three lines take four and look quote odd.
I think the right thing to do is simply delete it, and let the viewer's web browser figure out line breaks.  Thank you! 71.41.210.146 (talk) 17:19, 16 September 2011 (UTC)

message: The seems to be an error regarding the hyperlink "hungarian resistance" as it leads to an article regarding a subject way before his time. change to hungarian resistance of ww2?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.92.157.24 (talk) 17:54, 16 September 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: "resistance movement" was linked, not "Hungarian resistance", so the link just went to the general article we have on resistance movements. I changed it to point to Resistance during World War II to be more specific, but I couldn't find any article or section having to do with a specifically Hungarian resistance. — Bility (talk) 20:03, 16 September 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Hungarian resistance 

message: The addition of "On September 16, 2011, the 118th anniversary of his birth, Szent-Györgyi was honored with a Google Doodle depicting oranges and several other fruit, a reference to his work with vitamin C." seems trivial and is certainly mis-categorized under the "Children and Grandchildren" section of the Wikipedia entry.  I do not believe it is relevant to the biography entry whether Google put up a Doodle on this day.
If we must keep the Google entry, would suggest an "Honors and References in Popular Culture" section.

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: A few questions that might orient the article's development:
* A primary source by Szent-Györgyi is used about the Apollonians and the Dionysians, if it's possible to find other sources to interpret and describe it it would be best.  This is also the type of claim that can be partly true yet at the same time a common excuse when others couldn't replicate experiments and reproduce results...
* Some publications are old like from the 50s, was there an impact of those hypotheses on current biology or medicine?  In relation to free radicals, the source is a book from Ralph W. Moss, an altmed proponent.  There's a claim about impact on redux signaling, but unsourced.
