What about using {{r|Marie Curie||1903: }}? This would give

1903: Marie Curie [r]: (1867-1934), Polish-French physicist (Nobel Prize in 1903) and chemist (Nobel Prize in 1911), famous for her work on radioactivity. [e]

But since the year is invariably also stated in the definition, we might as well leave it out in the front column, just use it for ordering:

{{r|Marie Curie||}} would give

Marie Curie [r]: (1867-1934), Polish-French physicist (Nobel Prize in 1903) and chemist (Nobel Prize in 1911), famous for her work on radioactivity. [e]

Do I understand correctly that you want definitions in the table? That's against what I'm trying to do. I try to keep the table as compact as possible (I'm now adding the reasons why the Nobelists got the prize, and that is already quite long in some cases). IMHO in the table there is no space for definitions.--Paul Wormer 14:19, 10 December 2009 (UTC)
The reasons, the year, the field and the nationality are generally included in the definition, so what I had in mind was deleting the "For the discovery of" and nationality columns and possibly the year column too, and replace the name column with an {{r}}-formatted definition. This would avoid having to enter the same information both in the catalog and in the definitions. --Daniel Mietchen 14:43, 10 December 2009 (UTC)
