Wikipedia:WikiProject Physics/Members

The demographics of Wikiproject Physics range 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 renormalization is, 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 contribute to WikiProject Physics, as there are tons 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 to WikiProject Physics!

The list will be checked every now and then to monitor activity. Users with no contributions in a month will be listed as inactive. Users inactive for three years will be removed from the list, and archived as former participants.

The following table lists users who are participants in the WikiProject Physics. If you don't know how to add yourself to the list, see the instructions. If you still have problems, leave your info at the bottom of the page and someone will eventually take care of it.

To add your name to the list you can add the code shown below at the end of the table, replacing the text with your information. Please make sure that there is a |- immediately above your entry, or else the table will not display correctly. Comments at the beginning of each cell (<!-- -->) may be removed.

A few remarks:

• User: Please do not use signatures, as these can take a lot of space.
• 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 your "formal" background is.

User iNewton's entry would display as:

Adding {{User WikiProject Physics}} will place your name in the WikiProject Physics participants category and produce this userbox:

This user participates in WikiProject Physics.

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.

What can I do to help?
