[edit] Image verification

Is there any verification that this image is from a US Government source, therefore public domain? As far as I can tell, it comes from the AIP Emilio Segre Visual Archives of the American Institute of Physics - not a government body (see terms and conditions).

Tearlach, Nope, or does it come from nobel-winners You make the choice. What is a good tag? If it's an org ending there is no profit. If its scanned it must be a copy? Not an original in the first place? Which is more professional to show this nobel laurette? Burt on right eating ice cream I do have that one of Doctor Richter giving me a big old bear hug and he signed for me. He's a really good guy.Scott 23:10, 25 September 2005 (UTC)

As the most specifically credited, I think the AIP one looks like the original. There are a few photos around on .gov sites: for instance, this page at the Argonne National Laboratory site. This image is pretty good. Tearlach 01:23, 26 September 2005 (UTC)

Dear Doctor Tearlach, Do we really need to delete it? Honestly, I hope not. I hate deletions as you know it flips me out...LOL I'm sure good old Burt would not mind. Anyway Think about it. I'm going Nite Nite and I hope you can accept my apology and madness, Really do feel bad about the whole thing, You may not understand... Regards Scott 01:39, 26 September 2005 (UTC)
