I basically disapprove of too much of this categorising of mathematicians by nationality. In Artin's case, I don't see how he is 'German'. Austrian or even American, yes. I suggest simply not trying to add nationality in the many cases where national identification is problematic.

Well, I have been looking into this some more. For the moment I'll add to the nationalities, as a solution. Charles Matthews 10:03, 18 Dec 2004 (UTC)

It's far more sensible (better?) to categorise mathematicians by field and period, as far as I can see. However, if you don't give him any nationality then it means he is inaccessible from e.g. "Austrian people" which also seems wrong? VivaEmilyDavies 23:15, 9 Apr 2005 (UTC)

[edit] strange sentence

"Artin himself was not Jewish, but was dismissed from his university position in 1937" what that means?? I cannot find any relationship between two part of sentence. --- ALM 14:15, 27 April 2007 (UTC)
