Article on hold
[edit]Things are looking good. I'm going to place this article on hold for 1 week (until August 9, 2013), pending resolution of the following points:
- in the early life section, "With the help of the director of the Institute of physics..." - could you please clarify whether this is an Institute of Physics or an institute of physics?
"Institute of Physics" Fixed capitalisaton. Hawkeye7 (talk) 21:24, 2 August 2013 (UTC)
- in the Radiation Laboratory section, "...as he now feared that was in Europe was inevitable" - I think "war in Europe" is meant, but am not certain. Please check and fix.
Yes. Corrected. Hawkeye7 (talk) 21:24, 2 August 2013 (UTC)
- in the Radiation Laboratory section, "Segrè went looking for element 93 but did not find it, as he was looking for an element chemically akin to rhenium rather than a rare earth element, which is what he discovered" - what did he discover? Rhenium? a rare earth element?
Re-worded to "but did not find it, as he was looking for an element chemically akin to rhenium instead of a rare earth element, which is what element 93 turned out to be." It is probably hard for the reader to imagine this, as the gazing at a modern periodic table in chemistry class in high school would have made it seem obvious that Neptunium is a rare earth, but Segrè did not have a late 20th century chart.

- Later Life section, "...and told Segrè to let him know when Pontecorvo wrote from Russia..." - I think what is implied here is that Alvarez's comment led Segre to move to UIUC, but it should be rephrased to be more encyclopedic.
I have expanded on this. I think Segrè was afraid of being blackballed as a communist sympathiser. But he does explicit say this,
Let me know if there are any questions/comments/concerns. Best, Corvus coronoides talk 14:11, 2 August 2013 (UTC) -- All points addressed. Hawkeye7 (talk) 21:24, 2 August 2013 (UTC)
