Richard Feynman

 * Article is no longer a featured article.

This biographical article is in poor shape, first there was Taxman's request for references in April 2005, I suggest improvements be made to bring the article up to the current featured status in January 2006 where I mention all the obvious problems with the article including: Subsequently there have been several complaints on the talk page about style and grammar and a consistent stream of questions trying to establish facts from the article, which further highlights the structural and comprehensivness issues with the article. I should also point out that the bulk of the article is lists. --nixie 00:56, 2 May 2006 (UTC)
 * 1) Non-functional footnotes/messy references - when you look you will see the problem
 * 2) The giant quote section
 * 3) Poor structure
 * 4) Images don't meet licencing requirements
 * 1) Keep. In December 2004, this article was deemed a Featured Article. Are we to revert all changes? Feynman was big on clarity and content but style was never an issue for him. --Ancheta Wis 08:13, 2 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Remove I don't have a problem with the quote section (see WP:GTL), and the references section can be easily fixed (in fact, I believe I have already done so), but there are 4 fair use images that lack fair use rationales and another image with an obsolete tag. The inline external links should be converted to WP:FOOTNOTEs, with WP:CITE information. Thanks, AndyZ t 22:18, 4 May 2006 (UTC)
 * The MOS says quotes sections are largely deprecated.--nixie 01:26, 5 May 2006 (UTC)

 * Remove unless a dedicated editor can address the inaccurate/unclear statements in this article. Specifically, under "the Caltech years" the part on Quantum Electrodynamics doesn't belong. His work on this predated his move to Caltech, and it probably deserves a complete section. The paragraph on Quark/Parton theory is unclear and has no reference to the earlier work of Gell-Mann and Zweig. Someone with a physics background should come in and fix this. 203.76.194.70 21:56, 17 May 2006 (UTC)
