[edit] Wu who?
The article Wu-Yang monopole said just "Wu and Yang"; no other names for them. I searched and found this book by Tai Tsun Wu and Chen Ning Yang. It's about monopoles, and it's the right era, so I went with it. Chen Ning Yang is a good link and looks like the right sort of person and the right timeline, but Tai Tsun Wu is a red link. I see that Chen Ning Yang collaborated with Chien-Shiung Wu. I am quite convinced now that Tai Tsun Wu is a Harvard professor and author of many physics books, and not the same person as Chien-Shiung Wu. I have established that Yang collaborated with two different Wus, and I don't know which Wu the Wu-Yang monopole is named for. — Randall Bart 19:03, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
The correct name is Zhen Ning Yang (following pin yin rules)
[edit] Verifiable info
There are unsourced personal info in the article. For example, his relation with his collaborator Lee and his recent family life. These should be added as soon as possible. I'm already tempted to remove the information. --Chan-Ho (Talk) 12:13, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
