What's your opinion on the article in the OP if you don't mind sharing?

I think that physicists are not the best people at communicating - or even at knowing what the rest of the human world is like at any given time.
I would save that outrage for people doing that **** who really should be better ie politicians and their ilk.

When the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences in Stockholm announced the Nobel prize for physics this week, anyone wanting to find out more about one of the three winners would have drawn a blank on Wikipedia.

Until around an hour and a half after the award was announced on Tuesday, the Canadian physicist Donna Strickland was not deemed significant enough to merit her own page on the user-edited encyclopedia

Soon after Tuesday’s announcement, however, the Wikipedia community scrambled to build up a profile, completing sections on her research, biography and – most critically – her awards.
