It feels like this site doesn't have enough native English speaking members and physics experts to counteract the number of extremely low quality questions and homework questions that get asked every day.
But keeping the low quality/homework questions under control is a job for those of us who are here. That's what flags (and close votes, for those with 3000+ rep) are for. You don't need experts to flag questions.
Oh, and downvotes, too. If a question isn't really off topic, isn't a no-effort homework question, and doesn't fall under any of the close reasons, but you don't think it's well written anyway, that's what downvotes are for.

@RhysW When it comes to flagging, you can afford to make mistakes. Keep checking back on this page and see if any flags have been declined -- if so, use that as a learning experience.
With editing, you can see if your suggested edits were rejected here
Basically, as a lower-rep user, there's not much you can mess up, so you can go wild and learn from your mistakes
@Manishearth I'm trying to spread the wheeled animals all over SE: Biology and Philosophy. They now share 37 views, slightly below the 2411 views in a day (!!!!!) on Physics. :)
@Manishearth I was surprised by the number of views for the bicycle question. Does this number consist of IP-addresses or (registered) users or something else?
