Perhaps it would be useful to have a List of physics acronyms article, similar to List of astronomy acronyms and List of computing and IT abbreviations? Praemonitus ( talk) 17:40, 4 March 2022 (UTC)
I have been trying to get a inline template that looks like Define variables, but the inline wikiproject seems kind of dead, check Wikipedia Talk:WikiProject Inline Templates.-- ReyHahn ( talk) 21:03, 15 March 2022 (UTC)

I was doing some deferred maintenance on Planck units and Planck length, and now I'm not so sure we need two separate pages. I think Planck length is the last survivor of a population of separate pages that now redirect to Planck units (like Planck time, which has been a redirect since May 2020). The sections of Planck length are "Value", "History", and "Theoretical significance", which are all redundant with the main article; and "Planck length and Euclidean geometry", which just spells out the heuristic calculations alluded to in the previous section in (maybe too much) detail. This side of physics also attracts fringe-POV-pushing, because black holes and quantum and all that, so having fewer pages to have to keep an eye on would be beneficial for maintenance.

Last month, I requested that DePiep update the "Decay modes" table on Radioactive decay to match the decay modes given in NUBASE2020 (you can find the original request here), which they subsequently followed up and posted the current work-in-progress on Talk:Radioactive decay#List of decay modes, 2020. However, the table is still incomplete because we're quite hazy on the physics side of the decay modes, and progress on the table has pretty much slowed to a crawl. I suggested to DePiep that we should bring the issue here to try to speed up the process (original suggestion here), so that's what I'm doing with this message.
To get to the point, what I'm requesting is some editors who are familiar/experienced with the physics relevant to radioactive decay to help fill out the empty cells in the table, resolve some of the questions regarding β+ decay, electron capture (ε), and positron emission (e+) as used by NUBASE2020, and a couple of other things (more details can be found on Talk:Radioactive decay#List of decay modes, 2020). I've done some research trying to resolve the notation used for beta plus decay, electron capture, and positron emission in NUBASE2020, but I haven't found anything so far (I'm not familiar with the physics either). Any help would be greatly appreciated :)

Dear members of WikiProject Physics,
I am setting out on a journey to learn physics basically from scratch and I could do with some assistance! I joined Wikipedia to contribute for fun and so far I have greatly enjoyed becoming an editor. Since joining, I have decided that I would like to pursue a career in astronomy. It is a subject that has always fascinated me and I have finally decided to begin learning. I am seeking adoption from someone with a background in physics or astronomy, to teach me about being an editor on Wikipedia and to help me become a valuable contributor. I would also greatly appreciate if my mentor would be able to help me out with the occasional tricky question or concept I come across in Physics.
Secondly, if anyone requires assistance with referencing, copyediting or adding links, I'm your guy!
Thanks for your time, Kabiryani ( talk) 16:36, 29 March 2022 (UTC)
