Talk:Richard Feynman

Feynman's Religion
New subject editors are once again (and understandably) attempting to categorize Feynman under various Judaism categories, but these changes are being reverted. This issue has been discussed multiple times, with the consensus being that Feynman specifically did not wish to be categorized under any religion. If your argument is that religious rules should override personal declarations, then as an editor, you must decide which religious rules to follow. Multiple religious groups now claim Feynman as exclusively their own. For instance, according to the rules of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Feynman was converted to Mormonism in 1990, and thus he is no longer considered Jewish. Please consider that if Wikipedia's policy were to prioritize religious rules over an individual's own declaration of their religious affiliation, it would create numerous complications. The standing consensus to this point has been to respect Feynman's wishes and not assign him to any religious categories. Lexlex (talk) 13:31, 21 May 2024 (UTC)

Reclassifying QED under popular works?
In the preface to QED: A strange theory of light and matter, it's specifically distuinguished from *just* a textbook or collection of notes and I think should belong in the popular works section. I'm new to wiki editing and I'm not sure, so what do you think? Noahkahn (talk) 12:42, 3 June 2024 (UTC)
