The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/GRSI model until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.
Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article until the discussion has finished.I recently joined Wikipedia and my first suggested edit was to Megasonic cleaning. My guess is that this article would belong better as a subsection of the article on Ultrasonic cleaning. The help article Help:Introduction_to_talk_pages/All suggested that I draw some attention to it, since the article is a bit obscure.
Hello everyone, as part of my ongoing work on bringing the Virgo interferometer to FA level (any review there is still helpful!), I have decided, in accordance to some comments I received, to create a new article dedicated to ground-based detection of gravitational waves using large interferometers. One of the motivation is that the Virgo interferometer article has become pretty heavy, and that a lot of its content overlaps with the LIGO and KAGRA articles (science case, general principle, data analysis). There is also a Gravitational-wave observatory article, but it encompasses other, very different detection methods such as resonant mass antennas or PTA.
I have already made a lot of progress on this article, which you can find in Draft:Ground-based interferometric gravitational-wave detection; a lot of content is taken over from Virgo interferometer (most of it was already written by me), which I plan to modify in order to link to the new article (in a WP:SPLIT fashion). I also plan to make similar changes to the other relevant articles.
As far as to the actual article I think it is currently good enough to put in the main namespace (although there is of course room for improvement, and any review/suggestion is welcome); there is an issue however, which is the name of the article. As you can see, the tentative name is quite long, and perhaps hard too read; what is your opinion of that ? For context:
Any ideas on how to shorten that ? Thuiop ( talk) 15:55, 7 May 2024 (UTC)
The physics project template counts the number of articles ranked by importance, and quality. Here: Wikipedia:WikiProject Physics/Quality Control There are currently 700+ articles with unassesed priority (marked "???"). Clicking through, almost all of these are biographies. I suspect that no one particularly wants to tackle this, because of the unpleasantness of tagging someone's biography as "unimportant". That, plus the true difficulty of actually assigning a relative ranking -- you have to be very cross-disciplinary to be able to assess such comparisons. And that's just within physics, never mind something like "my biologist is more important than your physicist" or god help us, "our TV anchor is more notable than your physicist". Thus, I'm wondering if perhaps there might be better to avoid this issue entirely? I'm thinking of allowing the template to have an "importance=biographical" value. Or maybe there is some better way to do this? FWIW, Wikipedia:WikiProject Mathematics has exactly this same issue with unrated articles. (I'll cross-post there shortly.) 67.198.37.16 ( talk) 00:10, 16 May 2024 (UTC)
Please weigh in on Talk:Action_principles#Merge_proposal.
Note that this merge is related to older discussions principle of least action. The effect of the merge would be to change that redirect to point to action principles. Johnjbarton ( talk) 18:50, 22 May 2024 (UTC)
I have nominated Sun for a featured article review here. Please join the discussion on whether this article meets featured article criteria. Articles are typically reviewed for two weeks. If substantial concerns are not addressed during the review period, the article will be moved to the Featured Article Removal Candidates list for a further period, where editors may declare "Keep" or "Delist" the article's featured status. The instructions for the review process are here. 750 h+ 01:22, 24 May 2024 (UTC)
Hello everyone, I have submitted the Virgo interferometer article to FAC recently, and it has not attracted too much attention yet (perhaps due to the technicality ?). I would be happy if anyone was willing to take a look; you can find the candidacy page here. Thanks! Thuiop ( talk) 07:17, 5 June 2024 (UTC)
Hi everyone! I usually write articles on physics topics, but I've been thinking about starting to write a bit more about people as well. For this reason I'm trying to get a feel for crierion 1 on Wikipedia:Notability (academics). What exactly qualifies as "highly cited". I've asked this question in the Teahouse, but I think its better to ask here since this community would have a better feel towards this physics niche case. The cases presented here are not obviously super stars since I'm also interested in what the lower bound is on this criterion.
For example, consider the following Professors at the University of Oxford:
I'm not necessarily aiming to create articles for all (or even most or any) of them, cause, well, effort. But understanding if they are all indeed notable would help me in the future. Any thoughts? Thanks!!! OpenScience709 ( talk) 10:06, 6 June 2024 (UTC)
