Selected publications

[edit]

@Pyrrhic victor: do we need the section "selected publications", our best featured articles from other Nobel scientists do not have it. ReyHahn (talk) 14:29, 7 October 2025 (UTC)Reply

If similar articles do not have it, I would suppose it is okay to remove. The only reason I reverted your edit, was the edit summary mentioned it not having a specific paper, which at least in my opinion is not a reason to remove content. But, now that you've told me about the other articles, I can agree that section should be removed. Pyrrhic victor (talk) 14:37, 7 October 2025 (UTC)Reply
My bad. I will still proceed with the revert for now. It is for me unnecessary to have a block of references without any way to tell which are notable or WP:TOOSOON.--ReyHahn (talk) 14:39, 7 October 2025 (UTC)Reply

@Jähmefyysikko: I saw that you re-added the "selected publications" list. What is your opinion on it? I really don't see what that should be there.--ReyHahn (talk) 14:49, 7 October 2025 (UTC)Reply

Sorry, that was unintentional, due to some glitch in mobile. I agree that it is not needed. Jähmefyysikko (talk) 14:53, 7 October 2025 (UTC)Reply

PhD advisor

[edit]

@User:ReyHahn I would like to understand something from you. You are not ready to let anyone add Anatole Abragam as Michel's PhD advisor. On the whole Wikipedia page, I did not see any reference to Michel's thesis citing that's not the case. As other users have tried and have pointed out, Anatole Abragam and Neil S. Sullivan, both should be credited, but if it comes to picking one, it should be Anatole Abragam. What you are adamant about can be understood as the following: X does a PhD at Prof Y's lab working under the supervison of a postdoc Z. And somehow the world starts believing postdoc Z is the PhD advisor. Sorry that's not the case. Prof. Y is the PhD advisor, period. It was Anatole Abragam's group where Michel did his PhD. And there's plenty of references for that.  Preceding unsigned comment added by ExpoDan (talkcontribs) 19:26, 12 October 2025 (UTC)Reply

(edit conflict) The source used is Abragam saying that Devoret's advisor is Sullivan. Devoret thesis says that his advisor was Sullivan. There is no ambiguity about it. Also the text clarifies Abragam's role as lab leader.--ReyHahn (talk) 19:29, 12 October 2025 (UTC)Reply
Please share a link to Devoret's thesis. Please also point me to the source Abragam saying Devoret's advisor is Sullivan. ExpoDan (talk) 19:33, 12 October 2025 (UTC)Reply
