Self-nomination. I nominate the List of baryons because I believe in now satisfies all the criteria of a featured list.
The list provides information (masses, decay products, quantum numbers...) of all the particles than can be made out all quarks that are expected to form baryons in both spin 1⁄2 and 3⁄2 configurations, as well as all reported exotic baryons. Everything is fully referenced through the Particle Data Group Review of 2006 where possible, with some additional references provided where needed. Naming conventions of baryons are given, and the articles related to a full understanding of the naming conventions were expanded (namely, isospin.
About 10 editors worked on this and gave comments, and every concern was addressed (except a minor thing that will be fixed tomorrow (May 16th). Wikiproject Physics was notified. Headbomb ( ταλκ · κοντριβς) 06:35, 16 May 2008 (UTC) reply

It's a good topic, but right now it's too exclusionist in that probably only scientists or people with a good knowledge of the subject can understand it. under The criteria (1) the PROSE must be professional, not too complicated for the average user; and (4) the STRUCTURE should be easy to navigate. With the sortability issues, and the fact that all those symbols and abbreviations have to be clicked on (which as mentioned before is a problem when using a printed version), means it isn't. As such, I'm opposing. Matthewedwards ( talk · contribs · count · email) 07:52, 29 May 2008 (UTC) reply
