I've just added the fields that each recipient was working under. This information is paraphrased from the info on the ACM site at [1], and may contain errors in interpretation. I would appreciate it if someone a little more knowledgeable could check this through. HappyDog 13:02, 15 Dec 2003 (UTC)
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)
What nationality is he counted under?
Similarly: Andrew Yao. I would suggest to remove this uncertain data (temporarily below). What do you think? kuszi 19:21, 6 June 2006 (UTC).
==Nationality== Most Turing Award recipients are Americans. The national distribution of Turing Award recipients from [[1966]] to [[2005]] was: * United States: 35 * United Kingdom: 5 * Israel: 3 * Canada: 2 * Norway: 2 * Netherlands: 1 * Switzerland: 1 * Denmark: 1
Ok, I don't understand your talk. Why is Andrew Yao still with the flag of Taiwan ? Zandr4[ Kupopo ? 20:00, 14 March 2013 (UTC)
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)
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. rof 166.46.246.153 ( talk) 23:09, 24 August 2010 (UTC)
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)

The [wikitext for the] ref tag for footnote "[1]" says:<ref name=million>{{cite doi|10.1145/2685372|noedit}}</ref>
.
Somehow or another -- through the mysteries of the {{cite doi}}
template, I guess -- that somehow gets trans-mogrified into something that displays as:
Cacm Staff (2014). "ACM's Turing Award prize raised to $1 million". Communications of the ACM 57 (12): 20. doi:10.1145/2685372.
I had the idea to make some kind of edit to improve that, but I would need more information. I already spent a certain amount of time trying to "investigate" the mysteries of the {{cite doi}}
template, but I came away with a feeling reminiscent of (the presumed emotions of
Br'er Rabbit, in) the "
Uncle Remus" story about the
Tar Baby. Maybe eventually I will be able to (umm), add to my [tiny amount, currently, of] knowledge about those mysteries. But in the mean time, I just want to document what my reasons were:
Any comments or advice would be welcome. Thanks! -- Mike Schwartz ( talk) 00:46, 11 July 2015 (UTC)
|noedit
parameter from the cite doi template. This parameter only makes it more difficult for you to edit the citation, and serves no useful purpose.I wonder why the statue image is the main infobox image. Why not use an image of the real award? -- George Ho ( talk) 16:33, 5 April 2017 (UTC)

I think it's better to add countries for all recipients for two main reasons:
The Rationale column in the Recipients table has cells that sometimes overflow into the next row. Viewing the website on the Android browser. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2001:8003:405F:3C00:1E9:D8E3:863E:FC59 ( talk) 04:44, 21 March 2020 (UTC)
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.

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)
These edits seem to be a recurring problem. ACM has high-quality images of all the laureates. Does anyone know how to find the license for them and whether a fair use justification can be made? I am not sure the right procedure, but I think it would be in ACM's interest to improve the wiki page, and I'm happy to put some time in and/or send emails to the appropriate people at ACM. Suggestions? Caleb Stanford ( talk) 18:09, 14 November 2021 (UTC)
