{{helpme}} Hi Ian. I'm thinking of asking my students, as an assignment, to do a critique of a given Wikipedia page. If they do a good job then I can incorporate some of their comments. However, the page may, of course, change during the course of this exercise – which would be rather confusing. Is there a way of referring to a given version of a Wikipedia page? John

Hi John, and welcome to Wikipedia. You can select just one revision of a page - just click the "Permanent link" button in your toolbox (on the bottom left of the menu bar to the far left of the screen in most browsers). Here are a couple of pages to check it that might help in relation to what you are planning: Wikipedia:FAQ/Schools & Wikipedia:School and university projects. I hope this helps :-) --Pumpmeup 09:00, 5 March 2008 (UTC)Reply

WikiProject Physics participation edit

You received this message because your were on the old list of WikiProject Physics participants.

On 2008-06-25, the WikiProject Physics participant list was rewritten from scratch as a way to remove all inactive participants, and to facilitate the coordination of WikiProject Physics efforts. The list now contains more information, is easier to browse, is visually more appealing, and will be maintained up to date.

If you still are an active participant of WikiProject Physics, please add yourself to the current list of WikiProject Physics participants. Headbomb {ταλκWP Physics: PotW} 16:04, 25 June 2008 (UTC)Reply
