Again on Majorana and the Thomas-Fermi model: a comment to physics/0511222

Abstract

We comment on a recent paper announcing the discovery of a previously unknown publication of Ettore Majorana on the Thomas-Fermi atomic model. In pointing out that such a publication was not written by Majorana, we correct some misunderstandings and clarify the historical and scientific relevance of the "forgotten publication".
