Who observed it first?
Dmitri Skobeltsyn and Chung-Yao Chao are both dated as "1929" for the first observations. Can someone please look into the exact dates, as in month and day, so we can know who really observed it first? DrZygote214 (talk) 23:02, 10 September 2014 (UTC)

Discovery of positron
Who observed what when has been discussed on this talk page regarding the discovery of the positron. But, in reading this article, it remains puzzling as to why Dmitri Skobeltsyn is not given credit for the discovery of the positron. Did he not do anything with his cloud-chamber observations of 1929? Perhaps not publish them? Anyway, right now, the article confusing on this matter. Attic Salt (talk) 13:57, 5 August 2018 (UTC)
Precise mass of electron
The infobox currently quotes the very precisely known electron mass as positron mass. I don't think this is the right way. It is known that electron and positron mass agree within an uncertainty of 8e-9 (see Review of Particle Properties) So this should be the precision given in the infobox, not the much smaller value for the electron. -- Wassermaus (talk) 17:53, 20 July 2024 (UTC)
