Punctuation
Under the heading "Religion", inverted commas are used oddly.
Stance on Israel
At some time in the past material has been removed concerning Hawking's these would be covered by references [318][319][320] that do remain in the article. The removed material must be restored because Hawking is on record with supporting the boycott divest movement against Israel and refuses to attend academic conferences in Israel. Leave tag in place until the material is restored. Wlmg (talk) 12:47, 3 November 2017 (UTC)
- I independently noted the absence of references to his controversial stance on this issue, but was unable to correct this because someone has 'protected' it. Chrismorey (talk) 04:09, 14 March 2018 (UTC)
I added it back in the article. It was/is a very controversial issue, and many leading news organizations have noted it. Definitely worth mentioning in a politics section.
If anyone wants to remove it, they need to give a good reason why.

Oxford BA or MA
The Alma Mater for his Oxford degree is shown as a BA. Would he not have received the honoury MA (Oxon)? See Master of Arts (Oxbridge and Dublin)
Death
Just heard on BBC Radio 5 that Prof. Hawking is dead. Expecting more on this. BBC report Dsalt (talk) 03:44, 14 March 2018(The world time) (UTC)
- Users keep editing that he died on with 13 March or 14 March. Which date is right? FunksBrother (talk) 04:04, 14 March 2018 (UTC)
- Family announced he died "in the early hours of this morning" on Wednesday 3/14 UK time. General Ization Talk 04:05, 14 March 2018 (UTC)
- what was the cause of death?199.119.233.160 (talk) 04:25, 14 March 2018 (UTC)
- The family did not release the cause of death with their announcement. An official cause may be announced later, but a) he was 76 years old, and b) he had lived with ALS for more than 50 years. His death was not unexpected, in fact, he outlived nearly everyone's expectations. General Ization Talk 04:28, 14 March 2018 (UTC)

On the lead...
Can someone write a new second sentence that explains Hawking's impact in general terms that anyone can understand? Ed [talk] [majestic titan] 04:20, 14 March 2018 (UTC)
Death date
Sources say his family said he "died today" and released the statement in the early hours of March 14 (source). Thus, the date of death should be March 14 until specified otherwise. EvergreenFir (talk) 04:41, 14 March 2018 (UTC)
The BBC and Sky News report that he died “in the early hours of Wednesday” i.e. 14th March. --Malcolmxl5 (talk) 05:17, 14 March 2018 (UTC)
- The Guardian explicitly says 14 March 2018 now EvergreenFir (talk) 05:49, 14 March 2018 (UTC)
- He died on Pi Day. ;-] 210.186.24.203 (talk) 13:43, 14 March 2018 (UTC)

Add that the cause of his death was possibly his long-going struggled ALS. DatCreeper (talk) 05:27, 14 March 2018 (UTC)

Add books to Selected academic works
- Euclidean Quantum Gravity (1993)
- Hawking on the Big Bang and Black Holes (1993) 119.75.22.66 (talk) 06:17, 14 March 2018 (UTC)
Not done: please establish a consensus for this alteration before using the
{{edit semi-protected}}
template. The section isn't a comprehensive list of all of his academic works, only ones that are most significant in terms of impact on the field or coverage in reliable sources. Mz7 (talk) 07:32, 14 March 2018 (UTC)
MND rather than ALS
As the article is written in British English, the references to his disease should call it Motor Neurone Diseases, as that is what it is called in the UK and that's what Hawking called it. The ref to ALS should follow. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.175.255.178 (talk) 08:57, 14 March 2018 (UTC)
Honorary Professor of the Institute of Astrophysics of the Canary Islands
Stephen Hawking was appointed in 2016 Honorary Professor of the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (Institute of Astrophysics of the Canary Islands). I think this information should go in the section "Recognitions".
