[edit] Introduction

This WikiProject is aimed at facilitating the standardizing of the current particle articles to the agreed upon format discussed in Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Particles.


A few Wikipedians have gotten together to make some suggestions about how we might organize data in articles about Particles. These are only suggestions, things to give you focus and to get you going, and you shouldn't feel obligated in the least to follow them. But if you don't know what to write or where to begin, following the below guidelines may be helpful. Mainly, we just want you to write articles!

[edit] Scope

This WikiProject aims to standardizing of the current particle articles. Primarily we aim at elementary particles, but the scope of this project is particles in General. In this sense it is an extension to the WikiProject Elements

As such the following non-exhaustive list contains particles that could be adapted to this template:

Discuss the format for each article based on the WikiProject. Include various categories applicable to the topic.

[edit] Hierarchy Definition

Elemetary particles can be classified into groups using the Standard model. Classification of other particles varies.

To add articles to one of the automatically updated lists, add the appropriate tag from Wikipedia:Cleanup resources, and make sure is it in a category on the "Categories covered" section, or an immediate subcategory thereof. (Feel free to add categories there if you think articles in that category and its immediate subcategories should be listed here.) There also still some manually-updated lists.
