[edit] Nationality
What is his nationality? Is he an American citizen or not? As far as I know, he has been an American citizen since 1964 -- did he renounce his citizenship? If not, why is he called "Chinese American?" Is "Chinese American" a nationality or an ethnic category? For nationality, he should be listed as either "Chinese" or "American" -- based on his country of citizenship.
I changed the nationality to match (for example) T.S. Eliot: "Nationality: Born American, became a British subject in 1927." It makes no sense to invent nationalities that don't exist: Chinese-American is not a nationality.
Just want to add that if he has dual citizenship, this should be reflected in the article, as well.
[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. --C S (Talk) 12:13, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Birth date
Birth date of Yang is October 1, not September 22. See http://insti.physics.sunysb.edu/~yang/yangbio.pdf. Visor 16:25, 11 September 2007 (UTC)
