I just checked some of the revisions. I think it would help to understand what is going on as the article develops if a short rationale could be given as revisions are made....otherwise it's difficult to ''see the wood for the trees'' as it were.

:My overall aims have been to
# Improve the readability of the article.
# Remove random bits of information (like some seemingly randomly picked links.)
# remove the slight bias of the article toward astrophysics, particle and field theory (fields that most physicicsts don't work it)
# In several places, the field of physics as structured in an undergraduate curriculum is confused with physics as a discipline.
# Reduce some of the long lists.
:If you look at the [[Biology]] rewrite, they seem to be doing similar work.

Article revision

I just checked some of the revisions. I think it would help to understand what is going on as the article develops if a short rationale could be given as revisions are made....otherwise it's difficult to see the wood for the trees as it were. Thanks--luke 02:01, 13 November 2006 (CST)

My overall aims have been to
  1. Improve the readability of the article.
  2. Remove random bits of information (like some seemingly randomly picked links.)
  3. remove the slight bias of the article toward astrophysics, particle and field theory (fields that most physicicsts don't work it)
  4. In several places, the field of physics as structured in an undergraduate curriculum is confused with physics as a discipline.
  5. Reduce some of the long lists.
If you look at the Biology rewrite, they seem to be doing similar work.
