Fysikpristagaren nekades en egen Wikipediasida
Nobelpristagaren i fysik Donna Strickland nekades en egen Wikipediasida i mars eftersom sajtens moderatorer ansåg att det inte var belagt att hon förtjänade en egen artikel.
För ett drygt halvår sedan försökte en användare skapa en sida för Strickland men fick svaret att artikelns referenser ”inte visar att hon är kvalificerad nog att få en Wikipedia-artikel”.
Strickland, som delade priset med Arthur Ashkin och Gérard Mourou, tilldelades Nobelpriset för sin forskning inom laserfysik.

As of 2017, Nobel Prizes have been awarded to 844 men, 48 women (Marie Curie won it twice), and 27 organizations. Sixteen women have won the Nobel Peace Prize, fourteen have won the Nobel Prize in Literature, twelve have won the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine, four have won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry, two have won the Nobel Prize in Physics and one, Elinor Ostrom, has won the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences. The first woman to win a Nobel Prize was Marie Curie, who won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1903 with her husband, Pierre Curie, and Henri Becquerel. Curie is also the only woman to have won multiple Nobel Prizes; in 1911, she won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry. Curie's daughter, Irène Joliot-Curie, won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1935, making the two the only mother-daughter pair to have won Nobel Prizes. The most Nobel Prizes awarded to women in a single year was in 2009, when five women became laureates. The most recent women to be awarded a Nobel Prize were Tu Youyou and Svetlana Alexievich (2015).
