[edit] Merge?

I propose that weak-field approximation be merged into linearized gravity, as the former is too technical to stand as an article in it's own right and would fit in nicely with the latter, which I can see as developing into a fairly comprehensive article. ---Mpatel (talk) 10:06, 15 October 2005 (UTC)

I agree that the material so far could be merged, but there is a lot of ground to cover. I just added a preliminary todo list with some suggestions. ---CH 00:33, 6 February 2006 (UTC)
One other point: possibly linearized gravity should be a redirect to linearized general relativity since other theories also have their linearized approximations? Actually, weak-field theory (general relativity) might be a more standard name. ---CH 00:49, 6 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Todo list and student beware=

As a courtesy, I have removed the "expert" items from todo list. I am leaving WP and doubt anyone else will know how to implement the suggested improvements since this was mostly a note to myself.

Sadly, I am now abandoning this article to its fate. See User:Hillman/Archive for the last version I edited. I emphatically do not vouch for anything you might see in more recent versions.

Unfortunately, I have reason to believe that at least some future versions of this article are likely to contain slanted information, misinformation, or disinformation, particularly regarding

  1. pseudoscience topics such as
  2. fringe physics topics such as
    • plasma cosmology
    • Felber "effect" (sic; actually a coordinate effect, not a physical effect)

Be careful in following external links to outside websites, which may be cranky and which may do likewise.

Good luck to all students in your search for information, regardless!---CH 01:46, 1 July 2006 (UTC)
