  1. Hello, I am a regular user of Wikipedia, and I have relatively advanced credentials in physics, however I don't know anything about Wikipedia editing beyond changing basic text, images and citations (for the record, the Wikipedia pages on Wikipedia are terribly uninformative). I was looking through the list of flagged physics articles, and made repairs to many, but there is a long list of repairs which relate to very large sections of pages, tags of pages, etc that I can't make. Here's the list of them, if anyone would be willing to fix them, I can't:
  2.  
  3. This is already as simple as can reasonably be made (its advanced string theory, you can't make it simple and retain its content): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supersymmetry
  4. This is statistics not physics, and severely needs to be completely redone (please mark it as such): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Predictability . All current examples need to be removed (they’re wholly irrelevant to the topic, and even if they weren’t grossly impede understanding on an encyclopedic level.)
  5. Please also remove "Heat and molecular energy distribution" and "Temperature and disorder" sections, as they have nothing to do with this specific page. This is a tiny topic which should be a mildly improved stub, if a page at all. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Negative_temperature
  6. This article is not originally research and i can verify that I've read numerous reputable papers account for everything within this article outside of the last two sections: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_particle (all but the last 2 parts are fine, and honestly well done, and the last two parts while they should be on the page are of much more minor importance on an encyclopedic level than the others)
  7. This article isnt incredibly long or detailed, it is a short subject and appears perfectly fine (it doesnt need the tag): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_probability
  8. The content is such that this realistically needs to be completely rewritten and should be marked as such: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vacuum_energy
  9. The box on the right should be removed (for what its worth, this is also a page on whats become an important subject): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vacuum_catastrophe also, please remove the final sentence of this article as its irrelevant (I tried but the citation book citations kept screwing me up).
  10. This needs a section on parity symmetry (a very important section in the topic) to be created. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parity_%28physics%29 . If you want basic text for it, say "parity is spatially symmetric under all classical physics laws, and is symmetry of parity the property stating that the orientation of an object relative to another cannot be changed. This has been proven wrong by recent developments in quantum field theory". source: http://hyperphysics.phyastr.gsu.edu/hbase/quantum/parity.html
  11. This page needs to be removed, and the page title along with "chiral symmetry" need to direct to the symmetry section of parity (physics): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Left%E2%80%93right_symmetry (parity symmetry is the same thing as left/right or chiral symmetry, and is the only term for the idea used in modern physics)
  12. This article also needs discussion of the Rankin and kelvin scales, which it lacks, as well as a removal of disorder, a discussion of the concept of scalar quantities vs vectors.
  13.  
  14.  
  15. Also please fix the <ref> tags in this and mark it as badly needing copy editing: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adult_movie_theater (It was a link away from the “The Godfather” page)
