why was the cleanup IPA thing put down for something with no pronunciation at all? --Cheeesemonger 17:21, 27 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Excuse me? Look at the first sentence. —Keenan Pepper 19:18, 27 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I just saw this on the commons when I clicked "random image". Is it useful for the article? It is GFDL, so you could make a colour head shot out of it. The spelling mistake in the caption reflects the same spelling mistake in the file name.John Dalton 06:12, 12 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I just realised the article picture is a monocrome crop of the above! Maybe make it colour? John Dalton 06:13, 12 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

This article says that he "will" retire on July 5th of 2011. Has he retired yet? -AMSMeier — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.48.174.21 (talk) 10:33, 18 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Reference to broken DOI

A reference was recently added to this article using the Cite DOI template. The citation bot tried to expand the citation, but could not access the specified DOI. Please check that the DOI doi:10.1016/0550-3213(78)90153-0 has been correctly entered. If the DOI is correct, it is possible that it has not yet been entered into the CrossRef database. Please complete the reference by hand here. The script that left this message was unable to track down the user who added the citation; it may be prudent to alert them to this message.

U(1) problem solve

It stated in the article that "In 1986, he was finally able to show that instanton contributions solve the Adler–Bell–Jackiw anomaly, the topic of his master's thesis.[24]". Not that I am an expert in this subject, but as far as I am aware the U(1) problem was solved by him 10 years earlier in the paper Phys. Rev. Lett. 37, 8–11 (1976). Does anybody have more information on this? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 134.61.11.130 (talk) 09:09, 2 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Mars One

This article links to Mars One claiming Hooft is a supporter but makes no other mention. Can this be expanded upon (with references of course).--RadioFan (talk) 02:52, 24 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Re nav box and category see Talk:John_Traphagan#Mars_One. For a reference try http://www.theguardian.com/science/2015/feb/23/mars-one-plan-colonise-red-planet-unrealistic-leading-supporter (yesterday by coincidence). -Arb. (talk) 11:16, 24 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
