[edit] Official Website
The website in the outside links section claims to be "official" despite it saying
This website is not connected in any official way with the California Institute of Technology (Caltech), which owns the rights to The Feynman Lectures on Physics ... This website is also independent of Addison-Wesley, publishers of The Feynman Lectures on Physics
So in what sense it is "official" i cannot say...
[edit] Chapter Links
The chapter links do not do justice to FLP. Linking chapter 1 to 'motion' is laughable. It might give people the impression that the linked to pages are a summary of what is in FLP, when what is in FLP is the greatest coherent account of physics ever written. The linked to wikipedia pages...er...let's say...'variable'. I removed the link to 'motion'. Others may wish to do the same to other links... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.211.237.63 (talk) 10:37, 25 September 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Article Status
This article needs to be checked for NPOV and sourcing. Many claims are unsupported or subjective; e.g. "Feynman was already a legend in his own time." I've already removed or sourced a few of these statements, but more work needs to be done. That's why I labeled this as "B" class.
I labeled it as "low" importance to be consistent with the pattern on other physics articles; if Physical Review is of low importance, then so is this work. SarahLawrence Scott 17:09, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
