WikiProject Physics Main / Talk	Members	Quality Control (talk)	Welcome

This is a list of WikiProject Physics participants.

A word from WikiProject Physics' coordinator

Welcome!

The demographics of Wikiproject Physics ranges from high-school students curious about physics, to physicists with a lifetime of experience in research in a specialized field. All are welcomed to participate, as all can offer different insight. Sometimes physicists forget that not everyone understands the intricacies of the Pauli exclusion principle, or what is renormalization, and they need someone to remind them that the world population is not made of Physics Nobel Prize Laureates. Other times, an editor can make a bold edit and inadvertently get some details wrong that only experts are able to find and correct, and that's where they come in. You don't even have to be good at physics to contributes to WikiProject Physics, as there are ton of things you can do here that have nothing to do with physics! If you're good with tables, then you can find articles that have ugly tables in them. Maybe you're good at making sure the Manual of Style is followed. Whatever your background and whatever your interest, welcome at WikiProject Physics!

List management

Prior to 2008-06-25 the list of participants was not kept up to date. The list featured a lot of people who stopped writing on Wikipedia or on Wikiproject Physics. This made it very difficult to find active participants. On 2008-06-25, the old list was archived, and was restarted from scratch. The list now contains more information about participants, and it is now a lot easier to coordinate the efforts of WikiProject Physics.

The list will be checked monthly to monitor activity. Users with no contributions in a month will be listed as inactive. Users inactive for three months will be removed from the list, and archived as former participants. Users will be sent a message every six month (one in January, one in July) to reconfirm their interest in WikiProject Physics and be archived as former participants if they wish to leave WikiProject Physics.

List of participants

Remarks

The following table lists users who are participants in the WikiProject Physics. If you don't know how to add yourself to the list, follow the instruction below. If you still have a problem adding your name to the list, try WikiProject Physics talk page and someone will help you as soon as possible. Alternatively, leave your info at the bottom of the page and someone will eventually take care of it.

A few remarks:

• User:

Please do not use signatures, as these can take a lot of space.

• Contact:

This is for the internal use of WikiProject Physics. Sometimes there is a need for the input of more than two or three editors, for example when building a new guideline, and the entire WikiProject Physics community should be able to have its say. Writing "Yes" will lets us know that you are OK with being contacted for project-wide input. Project-wide messages will be used sparingly, as no one likes to get spammed. If you write "No", then you will only be contacted every 6 months to re-confirm your interest in WikiProject Physics.

• Areas of interest:

Tell us a little about yourself

• Role within WikiProject Physics:

If you want to be involved in supporting the WikiProject Physics community or in keeping the various things of the WikiProject up to date, this is the place to tell us.

• Experience/Education:

Sometimes people look for experts on specific topics, or people who are in the know. This lets them know what's your "formal" background.

• Date:

The time at which you've joined WikiProject Physics.
