Please don't nominate this stub for deletion. Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be much about this scientist - whenever you look for "Lubanski" in the context of relativistic quantum mechanics, the only thing which comes up is the Pauli-Lubanski pseudovector, something about what they did instead of the persons who came up with the idea. Nevertheless, just because I couldn't find many sources, doesn't mean there are absolutely none in existence... Let the article grow.
If the PL pseudovector is notable (which it obviously and definitely IS) then so are the people who developed it. M∧Ŝc2ħεИτlk 12:25, 13 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Why is it... that a handful of physicists who contributed to relativistic quantum mechanics are so hard to look up ??
After several months of searching, I have only been able to make a very crude and potentially inaccurate draft: User:Maschen/Lubanski, which is now in mainspace, Józef Lubański, allowing others to edit it.
Diacritics etc. in names can be fixed later. The Polish WP doesn't have an article on him.
Again - I'm not confident the article is accurate, so any/all help in fixing inaccuracies (as and when people have the time and inclination) would be definitely appreciated. M∧Ŝc2ħεИτlk 12:38, 13 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I've just sent an email addressed to Tilman Sauer and Andrzej Trautman, who co-authored a paper titled "Myron Mathisson: What Little We Know of His Life", asking for their help. With luck they might some information that could be used to flesh out your stub. Mathisson, incidentally, seems a very interesting person, despite how little we know of him.
I know how frustrating it is to do this sort of research. I experienced similar difficulties researching Gustaf Wilhelm Hammar, but at least I had a big advantage in that I had a fair number of English language sources to work with, including both English and Danish genealogy websites. But Lubanski died so young! Stigmatella aurantiaca (talk) 05:07, 17 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Nice, thanks very much! M∧Ŝc2ħεИτlk 05:28, 17 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Dr. Sauer has an academic home page with a phone number that comes up first thing on Google when you search on his name, and my experience is that nothing beats a phone call. Sometimes phone calls can be very pleasant. (Like when I was chatting with one of Gustaf Hammar's grandchildren that I found through my genealogy researches, who had no idea that grandpa could be famous. Didn't get anything useful out of the call, though...) Dr. Sauer will have been forewarned a bit by my email that some Wikipedia wierdos are interested in Lubanski, and whereas an email can be ignored, a phone call has an immediacy to it that can't be matched.

Up to you, but I don't think anything more than an email is really needed. This is only a Wikipedia article; so there is no rush. I appreciate what you're trying to do though. M∧Ŝc2ħεИτlk 22:04, 18 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
