===Comment 1===
I'm slightly un-nerved by the rather prominent billing that QCD gets in this article. Flavour and QCD have little to do with each other; one can have a theory with QCD in it, and only one flavour grand total, and a theory with 6 flavours, and no QCD in it at all. These are pretty much independent concepts; they meet only because both occur in nature. I'd like to see the article edited a bit to disambiguate these two distinct concepts.

: Well, I think the guy who redid the article is a bit zealous about QCD, but it ''is'' half the standard model. Perhaps it could be re-redone as a general discussion of flavor symmetry? -- [[User:Xerxes314|Xerxes]] 16:30, 2005 May 24 (UTC)
::This may sound incredibly dumb in light of many of the other articles in WP, but ... and maybe I'm showing my age ... since when did QCD become a part of the Standard Model? When I was in school, "Standard Model" was pretty much a synonym for "electroweak unification plus quark flavours (the [[Cabibbo matrix]])" and QCD was a theory entirely independenent of that. There is absolutely no interaction between gluons and higgs or any other electroweak particle (outside of [[GUT]]s and [[SUSY]], last I looked). So I'm completely stumped as to how QCD got lumped into the standard model. Am I missing something? When did this happen? Why do I feel foolish even asking this question?

:::I'm not really sure when the terminology first got used that way. Certainly it's the modern meaning of Standard Model. The earliest reference I can find in a brief search is a 1979 paper "K0 anti-K0 Transition in the Standard SU(3)xSU(2)xU(1) Model". So around 25 years ago, I guess. -- [[User:Xerxes314|Xerxes]] 20:40, 2005 May 24 (UTC)
===Response 1===
I guess I created a controversy without really meaning to. So let me clarify with a couple of points:
*The biggest thing going on now in flavour physics are the BaBar and Belle experiments on '''[[CP violation]]''', involving tests of the [[CKM matrix|CKM picture]]. So if someone follows links back from any of these to flavour, then (s)he deserves to find out a lot about quark flavours. (I also think those two articles need to be re/written, but that is a different matter)
*The other big thing going on in the Std Model is quark matter, where a lot of work involves understanding the chiral flavour group and the various ways of breaking it. People who track back from there deserve to find something in the article.
But I do appreciate your concern about balanced coverage, since it was already on my mind yesterday when I did the major rewrite. I split the article into two main sections: EW and QCD. Right now section QCD has more material, but section EW could expand. Would either of you like to do this? I wanted to, but I'm off on a vacation today.
linas: [http://pdg.lbl.gov/2004/reviews/contents_sports.html#stanmodeletc PDG on SM] should satisfy you that QCD is part of SM. I think both CP violations and quark matter deserve to be subcategories in particle physics and standard model in view of their importance today: but we can carry on that discussion in your talk page or mine.
Xerxes: Nice detective work; I knew the name SM was new when I started on my phd, but had never bothered to track it down.
