During new page review I came across Angular mechanics which was created by new editor @ GrandMasterGrayson without going through the standard review process. I think it is OK, although it does duplicate some of the other mechanics pages. My feeling is that we should probably keep it and integrate it better, helping him out. However, I do think this is worth a brief discussion on the article talk page or just make edits. Ldm1954 ( talk) 13:28, 1 January 2024 (UTC)

19:29, 1 January 2024 (UTC)Currently "Indistinguishable particles" redirects to Identical particles. Since the article is about QM I propose to reverse this.
Please weigh in on Talk:Identical_particles#Proposal_to_move_this_article_to_Indistinguishable_particles Johnjbarton ( talk) 03:26, 4 January 2024 (UTC)
Hi all, looking for a "what should I do?" sort of answer. Large chunks of /info/en/?search=Robert_Hooke#Personality_and_disputes have been marked as "citation needed" since 2020. Is it okay to remove those parts (with a comment on the talk page on why I've done it)? Asking because it's protected. Red Fiona ( talk) 20:41, 5 January 2024 (UTC)
The article Electromagnetic field needs work in just about every way. Its citations include random websites and a press release, along with books cited in bizarrely varying formats. There's a whole section on "Interference" that reads like a list of bullet points from a technical manual. The section "Feedback loop" just is a pile of bullet points.

Please weigh in Talk:Dynamics_(mechanics)#Proposed_merge_of_Analytical_dynamics_into_Dynamics_(mechanics). An attempt 13 years ago failed but the challenges were not significant IMO.
Summary: Make one article named "Dynamics (mechanics)" out of two weak articles, mostly using "Analytical dynamics". Johnjbarton ( talk) 23:48, 2 January 2024 (UTC)

Against consensus, user KingSupernova ( talk · contribs) moved article Escape velocity to Escape speed, clearly overwhelmingly against the literature. Can someone weigh in at Talk:Escape speed#Moved against literature consensus? Tia - DVdm ( talk) 13:18, 30 December 2023 (UTC)
I rather massively edited Equivalence principle to a cleaner and more sourced version. Please review. Johnjbarton ( talk) 19:46, 21 December 2023 (UTC)
Bicycle and motorcycle dynamics has been nominated for a good article reassessment. If you are interested in the discussion, please participate by adding your comments to the reassessment page. If concerns are not addressed during the review period, the good article status may be removed from the article. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 ( talk) 16:16, 14 January 2024 (UTC)
You may find this an interesting or entertaining curiosity: there's a software tool that can rank pages in a category by their daily view count. Of course, this hinges upon which pages are put into Category:Top-importance physics articles. XOR'easter ( talk) 22:33, 13 January 2024 (UTC)
The Mathematics Genealogy Project and other genealogy websites, were created to track the advisors and advisees of phd theses. This website is often cited in Wikipedia, especially to indicate the advisor or the thesis of a given person. However, this website can be edited by anybody and often does not provide sources. This makes it invalid as a source per WP:UGC. I have often found errors in its use or been unable to confirm some of the information provided in its entries.
My question is should I proceed with some RM
WP:RfC to discuss the possibility to enforce the deprecation of such a source? This would help avoid the fabrication of data.

I have nominated Emmy Noether for a featured article review here. Please join the discussion on whether this article meets the 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" in regards to the article's featured status. The instructions for the review process are here. Z1720 ( talk) 20:31, 15 January 2024 (UTC)
Ok I guess I should have discussed this first, but I just completed a massive demolition on International System of Units, cutting the content in half. I also reorganized the TOC.
Most of the removal was duplicate, repeating, not yet again stuff or historical material much better covered in the history of the metric system. Some was unreferenced examples that were probably correct. Some was material I believe amounted to guidebook content.
The content in the article now is mostly from the original, reworked to various extents. I hope other editors will step in and make improvements. Johnjbarton ( talk) 01:53, 18 January 2024 (UTC)
Hello, |
I reworked the energy-time part of uncertainty principle as well as some overall reorg and clean up. Please review. Johnjbarton ( talk) 17:08, 28 January 2024 (UTC)
