message: I agree with the unsigned criticism above. I made a first crack at sorting the text and dividing it into sections and layout in bullets. There are still florid sentences which can easilly be whacked down without loss of content. Next up to bat please step forward. Tom Lougheed 21:15, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

message: Article: "Classical mechanics has especially often been viewed as a model for other so-called exact sciences. Essential in this respect is the relentless use of mathematics in theories, as well as the decisive role played by experiment in generating and testing them."
: exact science sounds like "scientific science" to many people, including me, I don't think it needs to be mentioned in here. --Fs 23:27, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

message: Statics is a branch of mechanics so it's strictly incorrect to define mechanics as the study of motion.   I'll try another form of words.RDT2 15:13, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

message: The articles on mechanics arbitrarily use two different notations for vector quantities. Some articles, e.g. velocity and angular momentum, use bold face; while others, like classical mechanics, use over arrow notation. I suggest we try to adopt a consistent notation. The mathematics article on vectors  uses bold face, and I believe it would be best to use the same notation in both mathematics and physics. However, the most important is to use a consistent notation in all articles on mechanics. DanielEriksson87 (talk) 22:47, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

message: it says on this page that classical mechanics is older then written history, yet classical mechcanics originated with Newton's laws of motion, i mean ya people discusses ideas about motion, but it was only Newton who formulated the correct ones, for macroscopic matter that is, so i think that sentence needs to be changed.  Plus classical mechanics is always wrtitten in books to have begun with Newton soooooo. Tomasz Prochownik (talk) 07:04, 8 May 2008 (UTC)

message: For some reason this table was hiding in miniscule size in the Classical Mechanics article. Somebody has spent a lot of time preparing it, so if it is not incorrect, it deserves a place here. Of course if it needs expansion,  correction, or updating that is another matter.LouisBB (talk) 08:53, 12 January 2010 (UTC)

Jagged 85 is one of the main contributors to Wikipedia (over 67,000 edits, he's ranked 198 in the number of edits), and practically all of his edits have to do with Islamic science, technology and philosophy. This editor has persistently misused sources here over several years. This editor's contributions are always well provided with citations, but examination of these sources often reveals either a blatant misrepresentation of those sources or a selective interpretation, going beyond any reasonable interpretation of the authors' intent.

message: The intro narrows down the idea of mechanics to solely "classical mechanics" - implying ceratin idealized bodies. 
However, there are more fields of mechanics such as fluid mechanics or quantum mechanics. These, erroneously are not covered by the intro.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 134.76.92.46 (talk) 13:31, 1 June 2017 (UTC)
