Electron

In your edit of the electron article, you claim that an electron radius has been measured at CERN. This is almost certainly false. Do you have a reference which supports this claim? -- Xerxes 22:38, 5 July 2006 (UTC)

Xerses

• I left a note on your page about my two sources. One I can easily find is: Malcolm MacGregor formerly of LLNL or Berkeley as noted in his book called: The Enigmatic Electron. The other ref is from an on-line article I read which clearly identified CERN as the source and the size being 10(-18)m. Will try to find it and share the exact ref.

The reason I'm familiar with this detail is that my Berkeley friend (PhD) and I are busy preping a book on the electron for the past 4 years now.

I'm afraid my library does not carry this book. Can you provide a quote of some sort so I can figure out what you're trying to say? I think you may be attempting to describe the electron root-mean-square charge radius, which (due to the polarization of the vacuum) is nonzero. Calling this just the electron radius would be misleading. -- Xerxes 20:53, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

The book "The Enigmatic Electron" may be found in Google books. Nevertheless the needed page may not be accessible. Bernard Schaeffer (talk) 14:03, 23 November 2007 (UTC)

File copyright problem with File:Fundxps.jpg

File Copyright problem

Thank you for uploading File:Fundxps.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the file. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their license and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. JaGa^talk 08:38, 5 February 2009 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of File:Fundxps.gif

A tag has been placed on File:Fundxps.gif requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section I9 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the image appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted images or text borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on [[ Talk:File:Fundxps.gif|the talk page]] explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.
