Noticed this article today tagged with {{expand}} & {{cleanup-date|July 2005}}. Cleaned it up and realised it had FL potential too.

Excellent
Fantastic work. I think it is flawless.You could have added the Articles of the Constitution under which the HC's derive their power from
Sumal
Thanks for the suggestions. I'll try and hunt for the articles.

District & Sessions Judge
A person who is appointed as a district judge is called so when he acts and decides in a civil case, similarly when he hears and decides a criminal case , he is called a sessions judge . Both are the same person, they are called so depending upon the case they hear. I should know , I am a lawyer myself

Brilliant! Thanks Sumal, I owe you one.

I think this is a resolution issue. Its normal, I may add. In higher resolutions, the image in the above section tends to overlap with the section below, as text is more spaced out.

Conditional Support. It really is fabulous, except...
Fix this run-on sentence: "Each state is divided into
judicial districts which is presided over by a district and sessions Judge, which is the principal civil court of original jurisdiction, and can try all offences including those punishable with death." Break it up into a topic sentence for its paragraph and another sentence dealing with the last two ideas.
Check the capitalization (ie. "sessions Judge" or "Sessions Judge")
Thanks for the comments. I've fixed points 1 & 2. I'm trying to get the article to both FA and FL status, (a first :) ) and am currently discussing the matter with the two Featured Directors. So for now, I'd prefer keep the title as it is.
=Nichalp«Talk»= 05:24, September 5, 2005 (UTC)
Thank you for addressing my concerns. I now support. However, I am still confused about the second paragraph. I know very little about the court system (of any country) so forgive my ignorance...but how does "a District and Sessions Judge" (is that one person or two?) relate to the High Court? From the first table, what is the difference between a "seat" and "benches"? I like how the last paragraph starts to give an example, can you expand that so that it relates to the table below (so I have an example to follow on how to read the table)?--
maclean2510:29, 5 September 2005 (UTC)reply
This legal thing is new to me too. 1) Yeah, a D&S Judge is a single person. I too was confused, but have sorted it out now. I've also rewritten that paragraph. Rewriting from legal jargon to English is not always easy :) . 2) A seat is the headquarters of the court. Sort of like the HQ of a company. A bench is a permanent branch established elsewhere in the state (or out of state). I've modified it and it should be better now. 3) Sorry but didn't get what you mean by the last suggestion.

I think this is a fairly in-depth, complete list and a good example of community cooperation. --
Merovingian(t)(c) 14:22, September 1, 2005 (UTC)
Support. The list is comprehensive without being boring, and has links to the extra in-depth stuff too. In the interest of full disclosure, I have done some work with the page--that also means I'm willing to do more work to improve it as needed. --
SCZenz15:05, 1 September 2005 (UTC)reply
Comment, plenty of potential images, no references, perhaps the tables would look better as {{prettytable}}.
Phoenix2 17:05, September 1, 2005 (UTC)
What images would you like? As for references, I'll add in the Particle Data Group book (which really has all of it). --
SCZenz17:53, 1 September 2005 (UTC)reply
Some of the things on the list themselves have images on those pages.
Phoenix2 21:09, September 1, 2005 (UTC)
They'll be pretty random. It's not like you can make a picture of an electron anyway, but I'm sure we can throw something in for flavor. --
SCZenz21:57, 1 September 2005 (UTC)reply
Comment. I haven't finished reading all of it, but it looks pretty good. Some minor things: different capitalizations of Standard Model and Higgs boson are used in the article, same for flavour vs flavor. Perhaps, some things should be clarified which are obvious to people who know some particle physics: There is no unit for electric charge in the tables with quarks and leptons; perhaps it should be explained what an eV is (how much gram it is); The ~0 for the mass of neutrinos may also be explained; perhaps even an upper bound on their mass can be given? I'm probably wrong here, but I thought the antineutrino is denoted instead of . --

I think I corrected the spelling issues mentioned.
Rmhermen 20:24, September 6, 2005 (UTC)
And I have corrected the other issues. I put bounds on the neutrino masses and wrote a brief note about them, and I put links to the units of electric charge and mass in each table. --
SCZenz23:38, 6 September 2005 (UTC)reply
Support, now that I've finished reading it. I have some more comments though:
I think the templates like {{elementary}} should go, because they do not add information;
I'd combine the sections ===Baryons (fermions)=== and ===Exotic baryons===, since the exotic baryons are a subset of the baryons;
you split the ordinary baryons in nucleons and hyperons, but the article on
hyperons says that these are particles with strange (anti)quarks, so where should baryons with charm quarks go; similarly, under the definition of
hyperon, the Δ particle is not a hyperon;
give short descriptions of the phonon &c, as you do for the other particles;
why is the Phys. Letters paper listed as a reference, and the Phys. Rev. as an external link?
mention that all data can be found in the Particle Data Group book; this helps with verifiability.
None of these are important enough to withhold my support. I'm sorry that I'm not fixing it myself, but in many places I'm not certain whether my suggestions are good ones, and I'm hesitant to mess with a good article written by people that know more about the subject than I do. --

Support. The list gives a good overview of elementary particles. A few comments:
In the introduction it is mentioned that "In quantum field theory, these are the particles which are created and annihilated by the field operators in the Lagrangian." It may be better to first explain this in a more non technical way.
There are a lot of connections between the different particle properties. It would be impossible to list all of these, but perhaps a few can be mentioned so that readers get some idea of such relations. E.g. the decay width of the Z-boson precludes the existence of a light fourth generation neutrino.
I don't know what it would be other than "A list of particles in particle physics." Let me know what you mean by "the scope of the list," or you can always just write in what you'd like it to say yourself. ;) --
SCZenz00:25, 7 September 2005 (UTC)reply
I was thinking of the fact that it's not obvious that a list of particles would contain both observed and hypothetical particles for instance, or even both elementary and composite. I've been mulling over a what would suffice, but thought you might have better ideas. —

Talk02:28, 7 September 2005 (UTC)reply
My thought is that, were it limited, then it would be more specific. Instead, it's a list of pretty much every particle I can think of, except dust or something. --
SCZenz04:47, 7 September 2005 (UTC)reply
I understand what you're saying because it makes sense to me as a physicist, but it really isn't obvious to a non-physicist that a "list of particles" would include particles that we think might maybe in some theory exist. A layman would assume that a "list of particles" would contain only particles that we currently think actually exist. Plus, stylistically, that sentence fragment really irks me. —

Comments - my main concern is that this does not seem comprehensive - we list all of the quarks, all the gauge bosons, all of the leptons - why not all of the particles from
List of mesons and
list of baryons? I vaguely remember lists from my particle physics classes mumble years ago that included dozens of the blighters. Also, why mention
phonons, etc, but
photons only in passing? --
ALoan(Talk)02:53, 8 September 2005 (UTC)reply
There are dozens of mesons and baryons--in fact, there are infinity of them, in principle. To list tall the ones we've seen would be boring and pointless, and links to the other lists seem good enough.
Photon is listed under elementary bosons, in the standard model section, where it belongs. --
SCZenz03:16, 8 September 2005 (UTC)reply
Oh, mea culpa re photon; blame the rather late hour. But I still think we ought to list the baryons and mesons (at least the well known ones, or the ones that have been detected experimentally). Another comment: the format of the list is rather mixed: some section have tables with detailed information, others have partial lists, with or without bullet points and generally without the same standard of information (charge, mass, etc). How much detail does the reference provide? --
ALoan(Talk)10:07, 8 September 2005 (UTC)reply
I think the list is pretty consistent: all elementary particles are listed in detail, while composite particles like the neutron, which consist of several elementary particles, are not treated in detail but links to relevant articles are given. I agree with SCZenz that it's best not to list all composite particles, but to link to other lists. --

12:36, 8 September 2005 (UTC)reply
The reference contains, essentially, the sum total of all human knowledge about every subatomic particle ever detected, and substantial information on hypothetical particles as well. I won't say more on the other comments, since Jitse said it all. --
SCZenz14:41, 8 September 2005 (UTC)reply
I suspected as much - so there is plenty of detail that could be added :) The point I am making is that if I were looking for a list of particles, I would expect to find just that, rather than having some particles excluded for seemingly arbitrary reasons as the "wrong sort" of particle. Yes, I know your chosen criterion is well-defined, but if you were to ask a person on the street to name some particles (passing by the people who gave you blank stares) I bet that most would name protons and neutrons, and that quarks, Ws and Zs, Higgs bosons, etc would be somewhat further down their list. If this is just a list of elementary particles then it should be called just that. (My comments should not be taken to denigrate the effort that has gone into bringing the list up to the standard that it has already attained, by the way: I just think that it could be even better.) --
ALoan(Talk)14:53, 8 September 2005 (UTC)reply
All the particles anyone would mention (other than things like "Vitamin D," "E. Coli," and "Richard Nixon") are on the list. I admit we are insulting
charmed,
strange mesons, but I don't think they care. The nice thing about Wikipedia, at a certain point, is that you don't have to have all the information on one page, and I think dreadfully boring stuff about meson and baryon masses can go elsewhere. I think most likely we shall have to agree to disagree. --
SCZenz15:33, 8 September 2005 (UTC)reply
("Dreadfully boring"!? More boring than the details of quarks and gauge bosons?) Yes, plenty of particles are mentioned, but they are not given the same treatment. Another strength of Wikipedia is that it is not paper, so we don't run out of space. If it can, shouldn't the list give masses of protons and neutrons and various pions and so on, so we can see them all in one place? I guess we may have to agree to differ. (Btw - what is the mass and charge of a richardnix-on?) --
ALoan(Talk)16:00, 8 September 2005 (UTC)reply
(We understand, to a pretty good degree, where hadron masses come from. We really don't know about the elementary particle masses--we don't have a single theory that predicts them. That's why they're interesting.) Yes, we have infinite space, but pages can be too long. It's better to have subarticles at a certain point, and that's what we've got. (probably 80 kilos, and pretty close to zero) --
SCZenz16:51, 8 September 2005 (UTC)reply
It presumably does, actually. In
Supersymmetric models the light neutralino fills that role, for example, and I think there are others. This does raise the question of what to do with particles that have different names in different contexts. I believe, to be consistent, that WIMP's should not be listed--a WIMP is not a hypothetical particle that appears in a theory, but rather an idea for a particle that might solve certain problems if it existed. (If we'd observed it directly, it would be a different story.) --
SCZenz14:50, 9 September 2005 (UTC)reply
Yeah, the problem with a straight list in this case is that if you want to include any information beyond just names the particles really fit better into a set of tables based on type. In fact, some of the baryons and mesons not addressed on this list are more naturally grouped on goofy-looking diagrams (see
Eightfold way (physics)) rather than in lists or tables. It is a little heavy on text, but I think that was done to avoid a bare list of inscrutable specialized terms, from which the lay reader gains no understanding of even how the list is grouped without lots of clicky clicky on tons of links. —
