==Table of articles by quality and importance==
{{Wikipedia:WikiProject Physics/Current status of physics articles}}

==Always on-going tasks==
* Assess the quality and importance of "unassessed" articles
* Re-assess the quality and importance of "Mid" and "Low" importance articles

==Quality scale==
A scale for rating the quality of Wikipedia articles with detailed description can be found at [[Wikipedia:Version_1.0_Editorial_Team/Assessment]].

==Importance scale==
* '''Top''': Fundamental and famous physics. Any physics article listed in [[Wikipedia:Vital articles]] or [[Wikipedia:Core topics - 1,000]].
* '''High''': Important or famous. Something an undergraduate physics major could have heard of or studied.
* '''Mid''': Cover articles that pretty much only people ''in the know'' heard about, while not being over-specialized.
* '''Low''': Everything else

===People===
* '''Top''': People who made fundamental or very famous contributions to physics in general.
*: Examples: [[Albert Einstein]] (foundation of special and general relativity), [[Marie Curie]] (discovery of radioactivity), [[Niels Bohr]] (Bohr's model), [[Ernest Rutherford]] (discovery of the nucleus), [[James Chadwick]] (discovery of neutron), [[Richard Feynman]] (foundation of quantum electrodynamics), [[Isaac Newton]] (foundation of classical mechanics), [[Galileo Galilei]] (use of the telescope for astronomy, amongst other things), [[Nicolaus Copernicus]] (Copernican model), [[Johannes Kepler]] (Kepler's Laws), [[James Clerk Maxwell]] (Maxwell's Equations)...
* '''High''': People who made major or famous contributions within their field (usually, but not always, people with effects or experiments named after them).
*: Examples: [[Walter H. Schottky]], [[Michael Faraday]], all [[:Category:Nobel laureates in Physics|physics Nobel Prize laureates]] (other than those already in "Top") and those who won other Nobel prizes that are physics related, ...
* '''Mid''': Generally people who made important contributions to their fields who are recognized by their peers. All physicists who won major prizes or awards besides the Nobel Prize. All physicists who developed or invented widely used techniques within physics.
