Talk:List of elementary physics formulae

message: This article needs lots of context (annotations of what the equations mean, or at least explanations of the symbols, etc.). More importantly, it needs an explanation of what this page itself is—hopefully something more than a fairly unfocused/indiscriminate list. I'll hold off pushing for deletion, but not for long.

thread_title:  Why delete ? 

message: I support the move. It resolves some of the issues from the AfD. I imagine that some people will not support it, so I've started this thread for discussion just in case. --N Shar 07:29, 5 February 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Re: move 

message: This other article seems to be redundant with the scope of this one.  The lead sections even read similarly.  Does anyone know what reason they both exist that is still relevant? David Hollman (Talk) 23:07, 7 September 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Merge [[elementary physics formulae]] into this article 

message: As a temporary solution to difficulties in editing and reading the article as it becomes increasingley larger, I added hide/show tabs to all the tables to cut down the size of the article, so people can read which table of formulae the need by looking under the headings and simply clicking on the table link, other wise the article is too big and easy to get lost into. 
It should still be easy to edit by clicking on the most localized edit link and then editing the table, the code layout has been changed to make it easier to follow along the rows, each column seperated. 
Again and as always, there is still lots to do...

replies: text: Dimensional size (height/width in pixels) is not the issue, but rather the byte count. Adding the hidden-table code only increases that. Also the show/hide buttons become more sluggish on an enormous page. I tried to copy-edit but the spell-checker in my web-browser gives up and stops underlining the misspelled words about halfway down. I recommend installing one so you can check your own spelling as you write. ―cobaltcigs 07:29, 27 May 2011 (UTC)
thread_title: new pointer

message: The article has significantly reduced in size now, so there is no need for the article size warning tab.

thread_title: Article length

message: This article was the first I have ever edited just now. There was so much to clear up, more could probably be done..... More links will be added, further mistakes will corrected. I have a plan on how to condense the wave physics formulation, and will do so later, which seems to take up most of the article. The quantum mechanics section now seems to be the most ropey part of the article in presentation, which will be re-written most likley from scratch. F=q(E+v^B) (talk) 15:52, 14 September 2011 (UTC)
thread_title: What a mess...

message: I transferred content from Mathematical descriptions of physical laws originally in this article back to here, that article was just pointless and wrong in places anyway. Yes clearly it is very long and I will try to shorten and amalgamate as many tables as possible in this article... please be patient and do NOT revert anything in the process, sources/etc will be incorperated... thank you...F = q(E+v×B) ⇄ ∑ici 20:53, 6 May 2012 (UTC)
thread_title: Lost content has returned

message: This string of edits (mostly by myself) was performed to bring the page into compliance with WP:Accessibility (a Manual of Style guideline), specifically WP:Accessibility#Unbulleted lists and WP:Accessibility#Tables (the latter of which references Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Accessibility/Data tables tutorial). I moved the small headers for a reason, and removed the width on top of that (as we should let the browser determine where to line break). As for "format is used throughout most of the article", I was working my way through the article, slowly but surely. Consistency is not a good reason for a reversion in this instance, given the reasoning above. F=q(E+vxB), please revert your reversion. --Izno (talk) 00:04, 15 May 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: This is not the first time - at one point the format was name - nomenclature - equation. The reason was that the variables are immediately below the subject of the equation and the tables are more compact. Just to save you time I'll change it all back. F = q(E+v×B) ⇄ ∑ici 05:35, 15 May 2012 (UTC)

text: By the way you removed the fixed widths of the columns in the table. Please at least leave those alone so the tables don't expand sideways too much. F = q(E+v×B) ⇄ ∑ici 05:39, 15 May 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Please no-one edit this article for a while. I'm in the process of it now, if you do not see the change for some time it becuase I'm re-writing bits for clarity/completeness, on top of the table editing/listifying... its a big job. Thanks. F = q(E+v×B) ⇄ ∑ici 07:35, 15 May 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Done for now, intend to finish more later (if no-one else does...), I havn't the time right now, maybe in a few days or so... F = q(E+v×B) ⇄ ∑ici 09:46, 15 May 2012 (UTC)

text: I understand the desire for a more compact table, but that comes second place to accessibility.As for fixed widths, I did so because we shouldn't be choosing the size to display the table at, the browser should, in almost all cases. --Izno (talk) 14:54, 15 May 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  "the table was better before" 

message: Please see edit history - too busy keeping everything under control. This article can sit here empty for a while... I'll move the sources out everywhere. Maschen (talk) 00:54, 15 September 2012 (UTC)
