Talk:Paul Rosbaud

Rushed into print?

Article states: "He wanted the rest of the world to know of the significance of the work at least as soon as the Nazi planners did. By rushing into print with Hahn’s manuscript he was able to alert the world community of physicists." This statement sounds a bit POV, unless there would be original statements from Rosbaud himself. The relevant article of Hahn was maybe rushed into print by modern standards (submitted Dec. 22, 1938, published Jan. 6, 1939), but there were other articles in the same journal ("Naturwissenschaften") - of no particular significance for the war - which were published in even shorter time: e.g., a communication submitted on Jan. 3, 1939 was already published in the issue of Jan. 13, 1939 (DOI 10.1007/BF01488838), which would appear more "rushed" than Hahns article and implies that such short publication times were quite usual then.92.194.101.182 (talk) 20:14, 1 May 2015 (UTC)

The statement is from The Griffin (1986) by Arnold Kramish and is his point of view. The policy WP:NPOV applies to editors' compositions. As a quotation from a source on topic the quotation is not subject to the policy.Rgdboer (talk) 21:09, 1 May 2015 (UTC)
