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.

[edit] 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 Would like to find a peer reviewed response (the only response I've found is not peer reviewed).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.
