 * It was obviously designed by Doctor Evil. 70.171.16.131 (talk) 01:52, 3 February 2009 (UTC)hahahah

Does anyone else think this thing looks rather phallic? 70.145.15.83 (talk) 03:17, 19 April 2010 (UTC)

WikiProject
I'm not sure if WP:Physics is the pest project to take care of this article. Of course the topic is an application of physics, but so are countless articles in the scope of many, more specialized wikiprojects, and not for all of them it makes sense to put them in the scope of WP:Physics as well. Investigating the neighbourhood of this article, it seems to me like Automobiles or Engineering would be better suited for this article. Unless, of course, there is a specific reason why this particular article is of direct interest for WP:Physics. But to me it doesn't look like the article touches more fundamental physics than any other engineering topic. &mdash;&thinsp; H HHIPPO  09:01, 14 April 2014 (UTC)
 * Category:Piston engines is tagged for WP:Automobiles, 10 of its 49 members are tagged for WP:Physics,
 * Category:Engine technology is tagged for WP:Automobiles, 7 of its 218 members are tagged for WP:Physics,
 * Category:Linkages is tagged for WP:ENGINEERING, 3 of its 39 members are tagged for WP:Physics,


 * I'm not going to waste my life on anything so pointless as WikiProjects and I would even agree that it's not a strong link to physics. Engineering might indeed be better (or just both, given how tenuous these connections usually are). However show one firm connection to automobiles. The transitive links you cite are vague, getting vaguer with every every hop in the chain.  If this is what gives your life meaning then go for it, but I've got better things to do.

 * I don't find it that important either, I just think it would be most efficient if similar pages are taken care of by the same project rather than a few here, a few there, a few not at all. That's why I'm occasionally going through some of the pages that are tagged for WP:Physics, but not in any physics-tagged category (or vice versa), to see if that can be organized more consistently. I this case my first impression was that similar pages are mostly tagged for WP:Automobiles, as are two of the categories, so I put it there. But I agree that engineering might be better.
 * There are indeed more obvious things to do, but given that there are enormous amounts of things to do I think that trying to organize them more efficiently is not completely useless. And neither are WikiProjects with their tools like common watchlists, maintenance lists and discussion platforms. &mdash;&thinsp; H HHIPPO  10:45, 14 April 2014 (UTC)
