Assess the quality and importance of "unassessed" articles
Re-assess the quality and importance of "Mid" and "Low" importance articles Importance scale
Top : Fundamental and famous physics. Any physics article listed in Wikipedia:Vital articles or Wikipedia:Core topics - 1,000 .High : Important or famous. Something an undergraduate physics major could have heard of or studied.Mid : Cover articles that pretty much only people in the know heard about, while not being over-specialized.Low : Everything elsePeople
Top : People who made fundamental or very famous contributions to physics in general.
Examples: Albert Einstein (foundation of special and general relativity), Marie Curie (discovery of radioactivity), Niels Bohr (Bohr's model), Ernest Rutherford (discovery of the nucleus), James Chadwick (discovery of neutron), Richard Feynman (foundation of quantum electrodynamics), Isaac Newton (foundation of classical mechanics), Galileo Galilei (use of the telescope for astronomy, amongst other things), Nicolaus Copernicus (Copernican model), Johannes Kepler (Kepler's Laws), James Clerk Maxwell (Maxwell's Equations)... High : People who made major or famous contributions within their field (usually, but not always, people with effects or experiments named after them).
Examples: Walter H. Schottky , Michael Faraday , all physics Nobel Prize laureates (other than those already in "Top") and those who won other Nobel prizes that are physics related, ... Mid : Generally people who made important contributions to their fields who are recognized by their peers. All physicists who won major prizes or awards besides the Nobel Prize. All physicists who developed or invented widely used techniques within physics.
Examples: Douglas Hartree and Vladimir Fock (Hartree–Fock method ), Robert H. Dicke (lock-in amplifiers), Karl D. Swartzel Jr. (op-amps), ... Topics
Top : The Physics article, along with major divisions of theory (e.g., List of basic physics topics ) and research:
Examples: Classical electrodynamics , Classical mechanics , Quantum mechanics , General relativity , Optics , Solid state physics , Condensed matter physics , Atomic, molecular, and optical physics , Particle physics , Astrophysics , ...
High : Important topics within "top importance fields":
Examples:
Classical Mechanics: Torque , Centripetal force , Centrifugal force , Coriolis force , ...
Classical Electrodynamics: Electric field , Magnetic field , Lorentz force , ...
Thermodynamics: Pressure , Enthalpy , Fermi–Dirac distribution , Bose–Einstein distribution ...
Solid-state physics: Band theory , Crystallography , Doping , Diode , phonon , ...
Quantum field theory: Symmetry , Feynman diagrams , CPT invariance , ...
Physical Constants: Elementary charge , Planck's constant , fine-structure constant , speed of light , ...
Elementary Particles: Leptons , force carriers , hadrons (baryons , mesons ), atoms , neutrinos , the individual quarks , antimatter ... Mid : Subdivisions of "high importance" physics categories:
Examples:
Crystallography: Bragg diffraction , Miller indices , Crystal structure , Reciprocal lattice ...
Optics: Polarization , plane wave , nonlinear optics , Brewster's angle , ...
Quantum Electrodynamics: Self-energy , Self-interaction , Yukawa potential ,...
Particle physics: Most hypothetical elementary particles, most composite particles.
Quasiparticles : magnon , soliton , polaron , polariton , ... Low : Further subdivisions of fields, disproved or abandoned theories:
Examples:
Particle physics: hypothetical composite particles; hypothetical elementary particle which are not predicted by any currently mainstream theory (e.g. preon ). Experiments
Top : Famous experiments, first discoveries of major phenomena, first measurements of a fundamental constant (please update experimental physics accordingly).
Examples: The Cosmic microwave background radiation and its discovery, Cavendish experiment , Rutherford experiment , Stern–Gerlach experiment , Michelson–Morley experiment , double-slit experiment ... High : Common undergraduate experiments, or important or famous industry methods:
Examples: Franck–Hertz experiment , e /m experimentCzochralski process , ... Mid : Typical experiments performed in "mid importance" topics, famous refinements to the measurements of a fundamental constant or properties of a material, well known industry methods:
Examples: Z-scan technique Theories
Top : Important and well known theories:
Examples: Newton's laws , Newton's law of universal gravitation , Maxwell's equations , Special relativity , Standard Model , Atomic theory , ... High :
Examples: Ising model , Band theory , Brownian motion , ... Mid :
Examples: Drude model , Sommerfeld model , Debye model , Einstein model , Miscellaneous
Top : Fundamental or very famous physics and physics related topics
Examples: elementary charge , mass , force , momentum , energy , entropy ... (see also: list of physics concepts in primary and secondary education curricula ) Top : Important elements:
Hydrogen (simplest), carbon (biochemistry), oxygen (breathing), silicon (electronics), uranium (nuclear power ) ...Top : Top X visited sites
Examples: Most will also be represented already, but it is a good check High : Major or famous phenomena
Examples: Ultraviolet catastrophe , Cherenkov radiation , Interference , Rayleigh scattering , free-fall , refraction , gravitational lens ... High : Common units
Examples: Those listed in the articles SI base units , SI derived units , and cgs , plus others such as electronvolt , ... Mid :
Examples: Lists
Top : Lists of "fundamental" stuff:
Examples:
High : List of physicists.High : List of SI, cgs, and non-SI units approved by the BIPM.Mid : Lists of "important" stuff:
Examples:
List of material-specific constants

Reviewing Cheatsheet
The following highlights current issues. Feel free to either add the issues you've identified, or to strike them as they've been resolved.
WikiProject Physics' Reviewing Cheatsheet WikiProject Physics Quality Control
Do not remove the elements, but rather strike them as they becomes useless or irrelevant (i.e. write
<s>text to be struck</s>) to indicate that this element was verified and found to be alright.anyone .{{subst:Wikipedia:WikiProject Physics/Quality Control/Reviewing Cheatsheet}} immediately before the first section.
Article content
The following sections needs to be expanded/created : The following elements needs to be disambiguated : The following pages should redirect here : Consider referring these section to a main article :
Consider merging or splitting these sections with another article, or merging another article's section with this one (give reason): The following navboxes and infoboxes could be useful : These sections or statements are out of date : Cleanup, Copyediting, & Formatting
The following sections needs to be copyedited (give reason) : The following elements needs to be wikilinked : People
Experiments
First use of units
Do not wikilink/autoformat dates and years. Consider placing a link to pages such as 2003 in Physics in the "See Also" section rather than writing "Jimmy Longshort discovered this phenomena on January 15 , 2003 ".
