To do

 * Bipolar junction transistor: Convert PNG diagrams to SVG format.
 * Donald Machholz: update with this discovery.
 * Epoch (astronomy) and Equinox (celestial coordinates) have a doubtful distinction: the explanation of them being different seems obsolete.
 * ✅ Lagrangian point: listcruft.
 * Eddy current: find reference for discovery by Léon Foucault in 1851. (Add to both articles when found.)
 * Found book source indicating that Foucault "studied carefully" (not necessarily discovered) eddy currents.
 * Eddy currents appear to be a special case of Lenz's law, which certainly was understood earlier than Foucault's work.


 * Lenz's law: needs rewording and citations.
 * Rework confusing wording as mentioned in Ceres talk page.
 * ✅ Redirect caesium-133 into caesium. (No opposition after 11 days.)
 * Copy-edit tritium.
 * ✅ List of moments of inertia: verify and add textbook references for as many formulas as I can in.
 * List of moments of inertia: Remove thin plate formulas, because they are redundant with cuboid (and the diagram has ugly perspective problems).  Remove redundant cuboid formulas, leaving only the one that matches the illustration.
 * ✅ Add links to equation numbering templates to WP:MATH, as discussed in WP:MATH talk page (and before that, Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style (mathematics)).
 * Gradually building up Positron to contain the depth it deserves.
 * Add more references to Dirac sea.
 * Equatorial coordinate system: need more citations; going to look in my astronomy books.
 * Rework Declination: lots of copyediting needed.
 * ✅ Major work needed on Right ascension also.
 * Reword Orbital eccentricity so that ordinary people can find it useful in the first paragraph: 0 means perfect circle, etc.
 * Kepler orbit needs some references.
 * Borrow the rotating liquid image from German page Zentrifugalkraft and incorporate it into Centrifugal force. Mention its use in liquid mirror telescopes.
 * ✅ Resolve the issue of listcruft in Particle beam.
 * Look for neutral sources for Tenth Amendment.
 * Verify formulas for coordinate transformations on Horizontal coordinate system and provide references for them.
 * Verify recent change to Q factor and see if I can provide a source for the formula(s).
 * Mass–energy equivalence is confusingly worded and needs more citations.
 * Quantum mechanics has a few references to web pages that seem questionable.
 * Refractive index: resolve confusion between real and complex n: Re(n)&lt;1 is what it should say (I think). If so, that stuff should be moved into the section on complex-valued index of refraction; otherwise, it keeps confusing people.
 * Bandwidth (computing): Too many variant phrases, awkward sentences, and "refers to" repetition.
 * Electrical resistance: Uses inconsistent terms for nonlinear resistance in lead section and later in text.
 * Litz wire: the big diagram at the top is NOT litz wire! Need accurate diagram.

Disambiguation maintenance

 * Bandwidth.
 * Conductivity.
 * Other terms that need disambiguation.

Finished

 * I have written my first ever Wikinews article: US Supreme Court rules DC gun ban unconstitutional
 * July 4, 2008 &mdash; Completely reworked Explorer 33.
 * March 28, 2009 &mdash; Created a diagram and reworked mathematical derivations for the conical pendulum article.
