Talk:Albert Einstein Award

message: I do not have much information about this award. However, I found references to some recipients of this award. For example, see:
Feynman's bio at nobelprize.org
Teller's bio at universityofcalifornia.edu
Lee's bio at ccast.ac.cn
Godel's bio at answers.com - Columbia University Press
Marshall Rosenbluth's bio at ucsd.edu
Wigner's bio at princeton.edu
Gursey's bio at boun.edu.tr (in Turkish)
I am not sure about the year Rosenbluth got the award. (Probably 1967).

message: According to  and , Lee and Yang got the Albert Einstein Commemorative Award in Science of Yeshiva University, New York, so they should not be on this article. There is a confusion since there are multiple awards named after Einstein. Erkcan 16:01, 11 February 2007 (UTC)

message: The contributors with IP addresses 59.96.97.213 and 59.93.81.51, could you please provide some information about Sai Shyam, which you keep on adding to the article? Searching in google for the phrases "sai shyam" and einstein only return one person from/associated with Albert Einstein College of Medicine, which has nothing to do with this award in physics.

message: This award is given once every three years (or at least it was meant to be like that as can be read from a couple of the references in the article), so Gursey entry was not solid, but to the best of my knowledge there was no other reason (like references) to remove him. However, there is now such a reference. According to , Gursey was indeed awarded an Einstein Medal in 1979, but not in Princeton, but in Jerusalem. So I removed him from the list of recipients.

replies: text:  That is yet another award that is independent of this one. On the link you provided, you can see a photo of the medal given to Murrow and it states that it is for humanities. Furthermore, if you click on the external link at the end of the article, you can see that the actual medal is quite different.Erkcan (talk) 05:14, 18 July 2013 (UTC)
