Entropy was one of the Natural sciences good articles, but it has been removed from the list. There are suggestions below for improving the article to meet the good article criteria. Once these issues have been addressed, the article can be renominated. Editors may also seek a reassessment of the decision if they believe there was a mistake.

It does, but I do not know enough about the subject to edit it. Richard-of-Earth (talk) 06:31, 29 July 2025 (UTC)
Changed introduction
while the new introduction is an improvement, it is still not right.
There is (classical) thermodynamic entropy, which makes no use of microstates or probabilities. These are concepts of statistical mechanics. Statistical mechanics is a very successful theory which was developed to provide an explanation of classical thermodynamics. Ultimately, that explanation includes the relationship between thermodynamic entropy and information entropy.
I wonder if there is an easily accessible way to write the introduction without confusing thermodynamic entropy (a state variable) and information entropy (a statistical mechanical variable, involving probabilities, etc.) PAR (talk) 22:16, 29 April 2026 (UTC)
