Physics tag

Can you please stop tagging every single article in the encyclopedia with the physics wikiproject tag? There's no reason for that. — Omegatron 15:38, 5 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I concur. The bot seems to have gone "off the rails", and is tagging non-physics articles.--Srleffler 16:38, 5 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Can you both provide a bit more information than that, please? Which articles have I mis-tagged? I'm only tagging articles within the categories listed at User:Peelbot/Physics categories, no more, and 99.9% of articles within those should be physics-related.

Examples from the last fifty edits (some less appropriate than others):

I assume if you continue back in the list of edits, you will find more inappropriate cases, with similar frequency of occurrence. It would be good if you would go back and fix these before running the bot again.--Srleffler 23:33, 5 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Well, I'm all set up to tag the last batch of categories, but I'll hold off for the next 24 hours. If there are no further comments by then, I'll run the batch. Mike Peel 21:59, 5 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

You should probably remove Category:Ballistics from your bot's to-do list, and go through that one by hand. Many of the articles are not really "physics". I suspect this is part of the problem: categories whose topic is certainly a field of physics, but many of the articles within fall outside the subject matter usually considered "physics". --Srleffler 23:39, 5 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
