The plural of 'gas' can be either 'gases' or 'gasses'; the article uses both.
I'm not a contributor to this article, but someone who is should pick one and make the changes uniformly throughout the article. 209.99.207.55 (talk) 00:09, 31 October 2011 (UTC)

I noted that this article does not have a proper listing for the "Beta Decay" book. I'm not sure where to put it - a new section entitled "Book"? The book is: C. S. Wu and S. A. Moszkowski, Beta Decay, Interscience Publishers (a division of John Wiley & Sons, New York, London, Sydney, 1966, 394 pp. Library of Congress Catalog Card Number 65-21452. No ISBN number in the book that I can find. Likely one could list the publisher as just John Wiley, New York; the book has the JW logo. Note the spelling of Moszkowski, which is presently incorrect in the article. (Historical note: I bought this book at a Woolco Department store bargain book bin for 99 cents in Louisiana quite some time ago. How the mighty have fallen? Moszkowski autographed the book for me sometime later...next to the 99c Woolco sticker.) Bdushaw (talk) 20:52, 25 April 2015 (UTC)
Curiously: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steven_Moszkowski but no English article. Bdushaw (talk) 20:57, 25 April 2015 (UTC)
Just to try to clarify how I am reading the phrase: At that time the United States government had severe restrictions on its citizens' ability to travel abroad... It reads to me like something like what the Soviets or East Germans were doing - preventing its citizens from going abroad. I believe what is meant here is that there were U.S. restrictions on traveling to some countries - Cuba, North Korea, China, North Vietnam, etc. My revision was to try to be specific about that, while avoiding the misperception that the US generally prevented its citizens from traveling abroad. Perhaps something like ...restrictions on its citizens' ability to travel to communist countries...? Bdushaw (talk) 23:37, 26 April 2015 (UTC)
(I, an American, traveled abroad quite extensively in this time period, without any restrictions...) Bdushaw (talk) 23:43, 26 April 2015 (UTC)

1957: U.S. Students Visited PRC
In August, a group of 41 U.S. students who had been participating in the 6th World Festival of Youth and Students decided to journey to the People’s Republic of China. Most of the group stayed into October, touring Beijing and other cities in the country. This trip was made against the express wishes of the U.S. Government, which seized their passports upon their return to the United States. 75.163.147.50 (talk) 00:05, 17 February 2016 (UTC)

User:Hawkeye7: Hello, I noticed you reverted my edit in which I linked Wu's birthplace, the former Republic of China. I'm afraid I don't grasp your objection to the action in question, and would appreciate it if you could elaborate on how my edit was possibly inconsistent with Wikipedia policy, as you hinted at in your edit summary. Thank you! BUjjsp (talk) 06:00, 27 June 2018 (UTC)
If anyone can help, I'd like clarification on a certain (minor) point in this article. I edited the name of Chou En-Lai to Zhou Enlai, as it is the more common version of his name. Indeed, Zhou Enlai's wikipedia page uses the Hanyu pinyin version, as per WP:ZHNAME. Similarly, Mao Zedong is no longer known by the Wade-Giles romanisation of his name (Mao Tse-Tung), so it seemed a reasonable change. So I'm puzzled why my edit was reverted by User:Hawkeye7. Thanks.

The parity experiment was conducted at the National Bureau of Standards facility in Washington DC (Connecticut Ave and Van Ness Street). The bureau moved its headquarters to Gaithersburg, Maryland later, in the 1960s. 73.132.236.131 (talk) 17:06, 9 March 2024 (UTC)
