It is not clear from the article whether the name Urca was actually conferred by Gamow or Schenberg. The idea for relating the stellar process to the casino clearly came from Schenberg, but it appears as if Gamow may have actually applied the casino name to the process. If so, he gets credit for the name and not Schenberg. -- Blainster 10:02, 13 September 2005 (UTC) reply
