A thought about Wikipedia:

Measured by article length, Wikipedia suggests Katie Holmes is a more significant individual than any scientist or mathematician except Isaac Newton.

Planned Projects

1) An article on the "equivalence principle paradox" in General Relativity

2) Upgrading the article on the "Faraday Disc" to more fully discuss the surprising nature of Guala-Valverde's experiments (which are cited, but the main surprising result is not described), and candidate explanations of this result. Would like to find a peer reviewed response (the only response I've found is not peer reviewed). However, in a later version of Guala-Valverde's paper, this non-reviewed explanation is cited as convincing, by Guala-Valverde. Also would like to find authoritative references to the different results obtained with an electromagnet (rather than a permanent magnet).

3) Filling in Poincare's article to give a better appreciation of the scope and importance of his work. Current article makes him look more like a good physicist rather than one of the few greatest mathematicians in history.
