Collage

It appears an RFC on collages on Wikiproject years will be interpreted to also ban collages in decade articles. Users here may wish to participate. Koopinator (talk) 07:26, 24 December 2023 (UTC)

I Have some suggestions!

Hey! Through my research I realised that the lists "People" deal with theoritical personalities and people of spectacle.

Try to help me with a list of Scientists and Engineers from 1950s I'll make a first draft of a list with some names of Scientists and Engineers active in the 50's with excelent contribution throughout this decade. The names are the following:

Mathematics

Alan Turing: In the last years of his life the British Mathematician made progress in fields of Artificial Inteligence and Mathematic Biology .

Chemistry

Linus Pauling: American Chemist, Researcher and Professor:

Frederic Sanger: British Chemist, known for progressies in Genetics.

Joseph Simmons, American Chemist, inventor of Teflon.

Alexander Todd: British Chemist, known for progressies in Biochemistry.

Biology and Biosciences

Rosalind Franklin American Chemist, Maurice Wikllins British Chemist, James Watson and Frances Cirk both British Biologists. All known for the discovery of DNA structure.

Electronics and Computer Engineering

Mohamed Atalla, Egyptian Physican, Chemist and Electronic Engineer, inventor of MOSFET.

Walter Brattain, John Bardeen, and William Shockley, American Physicans specialized in Electronics, known for invetion of Transitor.

Jack Kilby, American Physican specialized in Electronics, Creatror of the First Intergated Circuit.

Consumer Electronics

Peter Goldmark, American Electrical Engineer and Inventor of NTSC Television System.

Aerospace Engineering

Sergey Korolyev, Soviet Aerospace Engineer, Leader of Soviet Space Programs Sputnik).

Werner von Braun, German Aerospace Engineer and Physican, Leader of Apollo American Space Program, and his preanchesors

Automotive Engineering

Aurelio Lampredi, Italian Automotive Engineer, know for contributions in Racing Ferrari's in 1950s (1950s).

Rudolf Uhlenhaut, German - British Automotive Engineer, known for work in Mercedes - Benz, such the Racing W Seires of 1950s and 300SL .

Medicine

Jonas Salk, American Medical Researcher, invented the Polio Vaccine.

Richard Dole: American Pneymologogist, know for their researches in smoking.

George Papanicolaou, Greek Medical Researcher, Invented the Breast Canser Test in 1920s, but recognised in 1950s

Suggestion to change introduction section.

The introduction could be worded significantly better, its clunky and although technically grammatically correct is somewhat questionable.

For example this sentence explaining the beginning of the space race could be worded differently: "The beginning of the Cold War led to the beginning of the Space Race with the launch of Sputnik 1 in 1957; the United States would create NASA in response in 1958." As the writing is somewhat difficult to decipher, it could be replaced with something along the lines of "Cold War tensions between the USA and the USSR resulted in the Soviet launch of the first satellite, 'Sputnik 1' in 1957, and the space race that followed."

Some of the language also needs to be formalized and / or presented in a more neutral tone, replacing "called the arms race" with "known as the arms race" for example and removing language such as "and so on" to maintain a clear and neutral tone.

Many other edits are necessary but I won't list them here.
