[edit] Task list for Members of the Wikiproject about Electronics

[edit] Urgent remedial action required

Phase fired controllers Capacitors (NPOV, no source cited, fidelity subjective term) - "This practice has become more common in audiophile-oriented products recently, as inductive problems in low-cost capacitors were demonstrated to degrade high-frequency fidelity."

[edit] Check & improve if possible

[edit] To be expanded/modified/completed

[edit] To be created

  • Q multiplier

[edit] Other open tasks for project members

2. Operational amplifier applications-- diagrams need standarising using conn dots on all figs not just some.--Light current 01:29, 30 September 2005 (UTC). --- awaiting effort

[edit] Existing article merging/splitting/redirect suggestions

[edit] (please get agreement before proceeding)

1.Merge semiconductor and semiconductor device--Light current 02:39, 27 September 2005 (UTC)

  • currently working on the merger Snafflekid 23:26, 29 September 2005 (UTC)
  • input completed Snafflekid 21:02, 1 October 2005 (UTC)

2.Merge electrostatics and static electricity


3 Split electronic filters as it will be far too massive when all the material has been added. Disscussion here.


4. Merge transconductance & mutual conductance or redirect?. I created mutual conductance not knowing transconductance existed!--Light current 00:23, 4 October 2005 (UTC)

5 Merge LC circuit, RLC circuit with new tuned circuit page--Light current 18:32, 7 October 2005 (UTC)

But RLC circuit is so long already. Pfalstad 05:04, 9 October 2005 (UTC)

RLC circuit appears to have all the attributes of a good page on tuned circuits. So propose renaming RLC circuits to tuned circuit or removing requirement for new page content. Maybe a redirect from tuned circuit to RLC circuit.

[edit] Capacitor

6. Split capacitor into theoretical page and page with information on practical capacitors. Reason: page now very large.--Light current 04:13, 9 October 2005 (UTC)

Yes, it is. But what to call the separate pages? Pfalstad 05:04, 9 October 2005 (UTC)

Page name suggestions:

Capacitor & Practical capacitors,

or Capacitor & Capacitor types--Light current 07:22, 9 October 2005 (UTC)

7. Merge practical capacitors with electrolytic capacitor. Reason- electrolytics are just another sort of capacitor and would fit in to practical capacitors very well. Posted merge tags on both pages.--Light current 12:59, 30 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Electronics

8. Merge Electronics and the recreated Electronics engineering page. This would give the new compined article some more punch to compete with the overwhelming article on electrical engineering (which BTW has a lot of stuff that shouldnt be there)--Light current 23:44, 14 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Differentiator

9. Merge passive differentiator circuit into differentiator so that both active and passive differentiator circuits can be in one article, along with the general theory of differentiator circuits.



[edit] * To be merged or split (updated by bot)

Pleas feel free to have a go at some of these tasks! Some may not be electronics -but so what? You can leave those if you want.

[edit] Task progress statements

[edit] Circuit theory

I added Circuit theory and tossed in some text, but it needs some attention. --Cbdorsett 09:17, 2 January 2007 (UTC)


[edit] Nominal impedance

Done a fair amount of hacking and bashing to get this page into shape. Can other Project members please comment on what ive done so far?--Light current 22:03, 7 November 2005 (UTC)

Complete AFAIC. No adverse comments will be taken to mean acceptance--Light current 23:49, 14 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] semiconductor/semiconductor device

Merge of semiconductor and semiconductor device not desirable/possible. Both pages cleaned up and interlinked instead by User:Snafflekid.--Light current 16:52, 1 October 2005 (UTC)

Merge Completed?

I did not merge the articles but made them both pertinent. I think there is no major edits left to make to either article. Snafflekid 18:54, 7 October 2005 (UTC)

Action complete--Light current 20:03, 8 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] capacitor

Copied the practical information to new page called practical capacitors --Light current 03:16, 15 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Practical capacitors

Copied electrolytic capacitor stuff here ready for completion of merge if noone objects.--Light current 23:08, 1 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] electrostatics

Static electricity content has been copied to electrostatics. Suggestion to redirect from static electricity to electrostatics by Omegatron. Agreed by--Light current 16:52, 1 October 2005 (UTC)

Awaiting comments on merge of static electricity|electrostatics Still waiting!

[edit] Chebyshev filter

Tightened up Chebyshev filter article--Light current 18:32, 1 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Butterworth filter

Tightened up Butterworth filter article.--Light current 20:00, 8 October 2005 (UTC)

Conflict over content between Pfalstad and me --Light current 23:17, 8 October 2005 (UTC). Discussion on content continuing.--Light current 02:38, 10 October 2005 (UTC)

Conflict settled. LC conceded. First and second order Butts will be included.--Light current 14:19, 10 October 2005 (UTC)

...with an explanation of the similarities. — Omegatron 15:02, 10 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Transistor

1.Cleanup and slim down Transistor page --- Completed?--Light current 07:30, 9 October 2005 (UTC)

  • cleanup in process Snafflekid 07:45, 4 October 2005 (UTC)
  • done with cleanup for now, I'm not sure if the Gallery section is pertinent. Comments? Snafflekid 01:36, 5 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Gallery cleaned up by Mako, article looks complete to me. Even good enough for featured article. Snafflekid 18:58, 7 October 2005 (UTC)
  • I added a very brief history section, regarding the naming of the transistor and added a disambigulation link to semiconductor device#history. What do people think?
  • Though the article describes transistors, dont you think that it needs a little help on the working?
  • My opinion is that this page should have a basic explaination of operation, and direct to other articles for detailed explanation. I already once put too much info here before discovering other pages. Snafflekid 20:59, 20 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Power factor correction

Major edit of Power factor correction Snafflekid 20:12, 6 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Tuned Circuit

Page created with immediate redirect to RLC circuit

Task complete--Light current 07:16, 9 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Transconductance

I have completed a redirect. Snafflekid 03:22, 17 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Ivor Catt

Article created. Still more material to be added, but article can stand as it is at present.--Light current 13:04, 30 October 2005 (UTC)

I think its complete enough to be let out into the wild now!--Light current 04:06, 28 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Raised-cosine filter

Article created. Could anyone take a look to see if I've pitched it at the right level? Oli Filth 16:42, 3 November 2005 (UTC)

I think its about right. You cant get a simple explanation of this sort of thing--Light current 22:06, 7 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Capacitor analogy

Created page. Could be added to with analogies for other components (inductors etc) if neccesary.--Light current 03:02, 9 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Completed tasks

[edit] Featured article nominations

[edit] Capacitor

nominated by --Light current 16:15, 7 October 2005 (UTC).

Needs a more polishing before its ready. Im not happy with the layout of photos at top of page--Light current 16:15, 7 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Transistor

looks like a candidate to me. Snafflekid 18:59, 7 October 2005 (UTC)

I think it really needs some better/more pics especially near the head of article to givre it visual impact. --Light current 07:41, 9 October 2005 (UTC)

Page getting too big again with lots of stuff that doesnt really fit. I have pruned again--Light current 01:10, 14 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Transformer

This article seems to have stabilised lately. What do people think about nominating it for a featured article?--Light current 02:40, 6 November 2005 (UTC)
