The image http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/4/4c/Elementary_particle_interactions.svg appears to indicate that the neutrinos couple to photons. I am not a physicist, but I think this is untrue and should be fixed. 117.199.179.233 (talk) 11:51, 9 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Again, not a physicist, but the photon-neutrino connection seems incorrect. If it is correct, then the neutrino page needs editing. Additionally, the graph would be clearer if it were [embedded in the plane] (edges didn't cross) --208.60.35.95 (talk) 14:58, 11 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I think you're right, I imagine the leptons were retained together for simplicity, clarifying the lack of neutrino coupling to photons would require separating the neutrinos from the other leptons.Kerzane (talk) 13:39, 3 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The diagram is wrong[edit]

The blue arc between electrons and neutrinos indicates an interaction that does not exist. The relationship is one of grouping, not interaction. Someone should fix this. I recommend placing an oval around all the leptons, linking W and Z to the oval (indicating all leptons), and an arc from photons, crossing that oval, to the charged leptons. 129.67.118.100 (talk) 16:05, 14 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
