Linking Exoplanet Detection and Habitability
I saw this in the new article bot report. It looks like it needs serious attention, for reasons explained in the tag. XOR&#39;easter (talk) 13:53, 5 April 2019 (UTC)

A new newsletter directory is out!
A new Newsletter directory has been created to replace the old, out-of-date one. If know of missing newsletters (including from sister projects like WikiSpecies), please include it in the directory! The template can be a bit tricky, so if you need help, just post the newsletter on the template's talk page and someone will add it for you. &#32; Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 06:55, 11 April 2019 (UTC)

Wave
Please take a look at Wave. Personally, I do not understand the new lead (especially the first paragraph). Christian75 (talk) 17:39, 12 April 2019 (UTC)


 * The first paragraph makes perfect sense to me. The rest of the lead looks good, too.—Anita5192 (talk) 19:03, 12 April 2019 (UTC)

AfD: Philosophy of thermal and statistical physics
The article Philosophy of thermal and statistical physics has been nominated for deletion.

Whichever way the deletion discussion goes, the article could probably use some attention. Jheald (talk) 15:18, 16 April 2019 (UTC)
 * I took the Gordian approach to the WP:NOR concerns and stubbified the article. XOR&#39;easter (talk) 15:37, 17 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Nice job. Xxanthippe (talk) 22:21, 21 April 2019 (UTC).
 * Thank you! XOR&#39;easter (talk) 23:10, 21 April 2019 (UTC)
 * The discussion has been closed as a keep. XOR&#39;easter (talk) 16:41, 23 April 2019 (UTC)

Articles for deletion/Photon Belt (2nd nomination)
Potentially of interest, found via the Fringe Theories noticeboard: Articles for deletion/Photon Belt (2nd nomination). XOR&#39;easter (talk) 19:22, 22 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Now closed as a delete. XOR&#39;easter (talk) 16:42, 23 April 2019 (UTC)

Shameless plug
Sounds like a good idea! The most obvious fixer-upper is the "possibly contains original research" tag on the Uncertainty of fundamental physical constants section. That looks like a good place to start (maybe it falls under the remit of WP:CALC?). I'll make the time to take a more serious look. XOR&#39;easter (talk) 18:17, 23 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Shameless plug (but I am plugging a proposed improvement to Wikipedia, so this is allowed): The 2019 redefinition of SI base units is scheduled to happen on 20 May 2019. I would like it to be Today's featured article on that day. To make this happen, it needs everything listed at Featured article criteria (some of which it already has), followed by a nomination at Featured article candidates, then a nomination at Today's featured article/requests. Any help improving the article would be greatly appreciated. --Guy Macon (talk) 18:08, 23 April 2019 (UTC)
