• What I think should be changed: In the sidebar Alma Mater is listed as "Princeton University". Based on David Nirenberg's CV he received an AB from Yale University and his MA and PhD from Princeton University. In order to provide a more complete picture of Nirenberg's education, I submit the following changes for consideration: 1) Change "Alma Mater" text to "Education" 2) Replace "Princeton University" with "Yale University (AB) and Princeton University (MA, PhD) 3) In the body text under "Life and Career" change "earned his BA from Yale" to "earned his AB from Yale" for consistency.

• Why it should be changed: These changes provide a fuller picture of Nirenberg's educational history, increase article consistency, and prevent users from mistaking Princeton University for Nirenberg's undergraduate education.

• What I think should be changed: In the main sidebar, there are currently four prizes listed within the “Awards” category, the most recent of which are the Historikerpreis from the city of Münster and the Laing Prize from University of Chicago Press, both from 2017. More recently, Nirenberg was awarded the “Leopold Lucas Prize” from the University of Tübingen in 2024. In order to provide a more timely listing of Nirenberg’s academic awards, I would request the addition of this prestigious prize to the list. Secondly, I would ask for the format and ordering of awards in the main sidebar to be modified as follows:

Premio del Rey in Early Spanish History (1996) ^[1]

Ralph Waldo Emerson Award (2014)

Gordon J. Laing Award (2017)

Historikerpreis der Stadt Münster (2017) ^[2]

Leopold Lucas Prize (2024) ^[3]

• Why it should be changed: The addition of the Leopold Lucas Prize to the list provides a timely update of select awards received by Nirenberg. The other proposed modifications, such as adding years, chronological ordering, full prize names, and links to Wikipedia pages and external sources, provides a more organized picture of awards and likely an improved experience for readers.

• References supporting the possible change (format using the "cite" button): References 1, 2, and 3 are provided in support of Nirenberg's receipt of the Premio del Rey, Historikerpreis, and Lucas Prize, respectively. External references for the remaining awards are indicated here: Emerson Award ^[4] & Laing Award ^[5].

• What I think should be changed: The main image of David Nirenberg as currently displayed in the infobox should be changed to File:David Nirenberg 2023.jpg available through Wikimedia Commons.
• Why it should be changed: The current main image is of poor quality—due to blurriness, low resolution, and awkward subject position—and is not an effective portrayal of David Nirenberg. A replacement photo of improved quality and resolution would provide users with a more accurate impression of David Nirenberg and his likeness.
• References supporting the possible change (format using the "cite" button): The suggested replacement image^[1] was captured by a freelance photographer (Sameer A. Khan) commissioned by the Institute for Advanced Study, where David Nirenberg currently serves as Director. The image was uploaded to Wikimedia Commons on August 1, 2025 and the license was verified on August 9, 2025.
