Table of articles by quality and importance   Always on-going tasks  Assess the quality and importance of "unassessed" articles  Re-assess the quality and importance of "Mid" and "Low" importance articles  Quality scale  A scale for rating the quality of Wikipedia articles can be found at Wikipedia:Version_1.0_Editorial_Team/Assessment.  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 else   People  Top: People who made fundamental or very famous contributions to physics in general.   Examples: Albert Einstein (foundation of special and general relativity), মারি ক্যুরি (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 (invention of the telescope, 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 prize 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.
