Talk:I. I. Rabi Award

Regarding the "Copied Directly" message
I'm going to contact IEEE to see if we can have permission to post the page as it is, copying the names of the recipients and the text explaining why they received the award.

I'm guessing they will give permission.

If not, we could just give the intro and link to their page.

The advantage of listing is I did in the first draft is that we can link to scientists who are listed at Wikipedia.

 * Dave & Sterling, as long as you properly reference the source, no permission is needed. (There are millions of references to IEEE sources each year, so, IEEE would be buried in requests for permissions if permissions were required.)


 * Plagiarism has been a major problem for publishers, so, IEEE, for example, checks all submissions for "similarity" to previously published information. The similarity reports are checked by humans to determine if the similarity is due to plagiarism.  The Wikipedia seems to have automated the process, hence the warning message.  There is clearly no plagiarism here.


 * In addition, Wineland too is a Nobel Prize winner, no? ;-)


 * Moreover, the name of the IEEE is just the 4 letters, per IEEE policy. The full name is to be used only when it is legally required. [...]
