"The Higgs boson is the last particle in the Standard Model of particle physics to be observed"
- So all the different leptons, quarks, antileptons and antiquarks have been observed? Peter Jackson 16:12, 5 July 2012 (UTC)

Section on mechanism
The section The Higgs Mechanism is opaque to anyone. It doesn't point out the role of the Higgs boson, nor how the formulas contain it. John R. Brews 19:30, 5 July 2012 (UTC)
