==Introduction==<br />
<br />
The Relativity Taskforce is set up to better organize and present information in all articles related to the theories of [[Special relativity|Special]] and [[General relativity]]. We hope that this project will help to focus the efforts of other Wikipedians to improve all relativity-related articles in order to make Wikipedia the premier online resource for relativity-related information for all who visit. In order to maintain a reasonable length of relativity articles (and avoid possibly unnecessary duplication), editors are encouraged to peruse the wikibooks: <br />
<br />
*[http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Special_Relativity Wikibook Special Relativity].<br />
*[http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/General_Relativity Wikibook General Relativity].<br />
<br />
===Scope & Goals ===<br />
The project's main aim is to concentrate solely on the classical aspects of relativity (i.e. no [[quantum mechanics]]), although some articles may mention aspects of [[quantum relativity]]. More specific goals for the project are to:<br />
<br />
* Present an up-to-date and '''mainstream''' view of the status of special relativity and general relativity as physical theories.<br />
* Carefully assess articles on non-mainstream views of relativity to determine if they should be in Wikipedia.<br />
* Incorporate a variety of reliable references into relativity articles.<br />
* Improve the quality and quantity of relativity related articles, including improving special relativity and general relativity to featured article status. <br />
* Include more (and expand current) articles on actual experiments to test relativity.<br />
<br />

{{Main|Wikipedia:Template messages}}<br />
<br />
===Project Notice===<br />
Type <nowiki>{{physics|class=|importance=|relativity=yes}}</nowiki> at the top of an article's talk page to indicate that it's in the relativity project; it will produce:<br />
<br />
{{physics|class=|importance=|relativity=yes|category=no}}<br />
<br />
=== Relativity stubs ===<br />
Writing <nowiki>{{relativity-stub}}</nowiki> at the bottom of an article will indicate that the article is a [[:Category:Relativity stubs|relativity stub]]; it will produce the following template: {{relativity-stub}}<br />
<br />
===Userboxes===<br />
<br />
{| class="wikitable"<br />
