[edit] Contradiction

• This article: "The group grew under the supervision of Orso Mario Corbino, a physicist, minister, senator and director of the Institute of physics in Via Panisperna, who recognized the qualities of Enrico Fermi, appointed him in 1924 and instituted for him the first Chair of Theoretical Physics in Italy"
• Enrico Fermi article: "Fermi's Ph.D advisor was Luigi Puccianti. In 1924 Fermi spent a semester in Göttingen, and then stayed for a few months in Leiden with Paul Ehrenfest.

From January 1925 to the autumn of 1926 he stayed at the University of Florence. In this period he wrote his work on the Fermi-Dirac statistics When he was only 24 years old, Fermi took a professorship in Rome (the first for atomic physics in Italy, which he won in a competition created by professor Orso Mario Corbino"

1. In what year was Enrico Fermi appointed by Corbino? Was it 1924 as this article specify or was it after the autumn of 1926 as implied from the Enrico Fermi article?
2. How did he got the job? Was it because Corbino recognized his qualities as this article specify or was it a result of a competition as the Enrico Fermi article specify?
3. What was his job title? was it Theoretical Physics as as this article specify or was it Atomic Physics s the Enrico Fermi article specify?

I look at the original Italian version of this article and it is quite clear to me that the translator made an error. Fermi got the job at Rome university at the end of 1926. I changed the date accordingly. This answer my 1st question, but I have another:

• Emilio G. Segrè published a book in 1980 called "From X-rays to Quarks" he mentioned the building in Via Panisperna, but does not write about "Via Panisperna boys". Could it be that this name of the group is a new one created as a result of the movie by the same name?

Almost a month passed and nobody answered my questions which raise doubts on the accuracy of the article, very strange. Avihu (talk) 16:42, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
