AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers around the absence of specific scientific topics on Wikipedia, including special and general relativity, constrained systems, Dirac observables, Thiemann's Master constraint, and refined algebraic quantization. The original poster expresses confusion about how to create new Wikipedia entries and seeks assistance. However, other participants point out that many of these topics already exist on Wikipedia, particularly special and general relativity, which are combined into one entry. They suggest that the poster should utilize Wikipedia's talk pages for article creation inquiries rather than posting in the forum. The conversation emphasizes the importance of verifying existing content on Wikipedia and seeking guidance directly from Wikipedia's resources.

Here are a few topics not present in Wikipedia:

the principle of special relativity

the principle of general relativity

constrained systems

Dirac observables

Thiemann's Master constraint

Thomas Thiemann

Group averaging

Refined algebraic quantizationYou can probably think of more. I'm not very good with wiki and still not sure how to start new entries. If someone could explain how you do it or set up these entries for me that would be great! Thanks julian (computer div).

I'm at a loss as to why you would say these are not on Wikipedia since a Google search for either one brings up the Wikipedia article as first on the list.

Why are you posting this on this forum and not on some wikipedia forum/talkpage?? If you don't know how to make new articles, then you should ask wikipedia. I'm not sure what we can do about it...
 
OK the first two are combined into one entry - that's why I didn't notice.

Why posting here? I've been through the help pages on wiki and still don't know how to do it. Maybe I should try talk pages in wiki then.
 
And no, I've been on the forum for a while. My motivation isn't to find out how gullible people are. Did you do a google search on the rest??
 
To the OP, what micromass said is correct - posting here won't help. The best you can do is appeal to the wiki discussion / talk pages regarding creation of articles.
