Lead

The Gabor Medal is a medal awarded by the Royal Society of London for "acknowledged distinction of interdisciplinary work between the life sciences with other disciplines ". | remove the extra space between the quotation mark and disciplines
It was first awarded in 1989 to Noreen Murray "in recognition of her pioneering work in the field of genetic engineering, in particular for her development of the bacteriophage lambda system as a cloning [vector?] into which could be incorporated DNA fragments of over 5 kilobases in length", and was most recently awarded to Richard J. Roberts "for his internationally acclaimed contributions to the discovery of RNA splicing and his structural and genetic studies that have extended the range of sequence specificity of restriction and modification of enzymes". | (1)Is the [vector?] suppose to be there [is apart of the quote]? (2)State the year as to what recently means.

The size of the general refs should be decreased to how it is here.--<TRUCO> ⁵⁰³ 15:25, 15 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

First done, I'm checking up on the second. As for the refs, I'll do them in a moment or two, just got to sort some stuff out first. — neuro^(talk) 16:58, 15 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, the "[vector?]" comment is part of the rationale. Doing refs in a second. — neuro^(talk) 19:23, 15 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
The refs have been done, I did em earlier. Ironholds (talk) 19:50, 15 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Initially awarded "for acknowledged distinction of work in the life sciences, particularly in the fields of genetic engineering and molecular biology" Comma after here.
"as a cloning [vector?]" Why the question mark?
No idea, it was in the original source. Ironholds (talk) 06:28, 22 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Can you center the dashes and years in the table? Dabomb87 (talk) 01:23, 22 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
All done except for point 2. Ironholds (talk) 06:28, 22 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Refs 2 and 5 need format=PDF added to their citation template.
Ref 4 is a book, use {{cite book}}. Dabomb87 (talk) 01:23, 22 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
