User:Hhhippo/Physics inventions by country

This page lists physics articles that are categorized as inventions associated with a particular country or region.

Such articles are subject to Wikipedia's categorization guideline and in particular must adhere to the policies on verifiability and neutral point of view. Specifically, the category should describe a defining characteristic of a subject of the article, the categorization should be uncontroversial and clearly justifiable from information in the article text backed up by reliable sources. Within physics, special care is needed regarding whether a development can be classified as an invention, and whether it can be ascribed to a particular country or region.

Category tags not in line with Wikipedia's policies may be challenged or removed. In some cases the inclusion of an article in a list (which can be annotated and referenced) may be more appropriate.

Technical details

 * A physics article here means any page that is tagged as within the scope of WikiProject Physics (in total 17182 pages).
 * An article is categorized as an invention associated with a particular country or region if it is a member of a category listed in Category:Inventions by country (50 categories, 24 of them holding physics articles).
 * These categories hold in total 2010 articles, 112 of them physics articles.
 * The list is arranged by category, with the numbers in parentheses denoting the number of physics articles and the total number of pages in each category. Categories without physics articles are omitted.
 * The list is generated by Perl-scripts that retrieve data from the Wikipedia API, and uploaded here manually. It was last updated 13:48, 26 April 2013 (UTC).
