 | Plasma (physics) was one of the Natural sciences good articles, but it has been removed from the list. There are suggestions below for improving the article to meet the good article criteria. Once these issues have been addressed, the article can be renominated. Editors may also seek a reassessment of the decision if they believe there was a mistake. | |||||||||||||||||||||

Opinionated judgemental language
editIn the section of the article about filaments the following appears: “One interesting aspect”. To say it’s an “interesting aspect is seemingly entirely a personal judgement and not encyclopedic or necessary or appropriate.
If somebody who can edit the article would edit the article regarding that that would be something. 2600:1700:BA0:FC40:B487:B454:9EDB:6FB8 (talk) 03:27, 18 August 2023 (UTC)
- There are also other issues in the language used here. For now I have added Template:Tone to the top of the section. CoronalMassAffection (talk) 23:19, 27 June 2024 (UTC)

"It is the most abundant form of ordinary matter in the universe, mostly in stars (including the Sun), but also dominating the rarefied intracluster medium and intergalactic medium."
Does this statement count for black holes please? The "ordinary matter" page does not specifically state: black holes not included! Please maybe make a note somewhere around this sentence about black holes. Thank You! Ezixen (talk) 01:36, 11 December 2023 (UTC)
- Are you talking about matter that has "fallen into" black holes? Remsense留 01:38, 11 December 2023 (UTC)
- Nobody knows what is inside black holes. As such, I would be hesitant to call that matter "ordinary". In any case, by modern estimates the total mass of black holes is like 1% or so of the total barionic mass of the Universe (e.g., see https://www.space.com/how-many-black-holes-universe). What made you think otherwise? Evgeny (talk) 10:11, 11 December 2023 (UTC)
Not done: please provide reliable sources that support the change you want to be made. Lewcm Talk to me! 13:26, 15 December 2023 (UTC)

I want to edit the math equations in this article so that they display correctly. For whatever reason all of the equations are not rendering correctly.
For Example: this is the code for an equation directly from the source of the article: It renders like this: $ {\displaystyle \alpha ={\frac {n_{i{n_{i}+n_{n}}},} $
I would like to fix this please. If not me than someone else.

- The equation renders just fine for me. Maybe try a different web browser/clean the cache/etc. In any case, do you see a mistake in the latex math code? If not, how are you going to fix it? Evgeny (talk) 08:20, 28 July 2024 (UTC)
Not done: Everything is rendering correctly for me as well. PianoDan (talk) 17:15, 8 August 2024 (UTC)
- I apologize, it must be on my end somehow, I checked out equations on another Physics page. Really sorry about that, we can close this. Ill troubleshoot my rendering of the wiki, it usually doesn't have an issue rendering latex code but I have had issues with how Latex code was integrated into wikimedia sites before. viv (talk) 20:30, 12 August 2024 (UTC)
