Talk:Engineering Acoustics

This wikibook will be written collectively by students enrolled in the course ME 513: Engineering Acoustics during the fall semester 2005. For information about the class, you can check the course home page at:. This is going to count for the students grades. Feel free to edit or comment any article per wikibook policy. Please be careful when editing or making suggestions that you don't annihilate possibly interesting contributions from the original authors. Acoustic students at accredited Universities are especially encouraged to contribute.--Engineering Acoustics Student 19:09, 23 July 2005 (UTC)

Wikibooks Policy
This page is in violation of wikibooks policy, which can be viewed HERE. Specifically, the part about how wikibooks is not a personal webhost. If the contributers here continue to violate policy, this page could be locked from further editing, or (worst-case scenario) it could be deleted from the server entirely. While the wikibooks community appreciates it's contributers, we cannot allow these projects to be used in a manner that is against policy. If you have any questions about this statement, you may leave me a message on my talk page. I would advice the contributers on this page to take this warning very seriously. -- 21:22, 28 November 2005 (UTC)


 * Hello, ME 513 students, welcome to Wikibooks!


 * This book looks useful, and I hope that it stays at Wikibooks. However, notices like this are not acceptable: Feel free to add comments to the discussion page, but please do not edit the page since it is part of the course grade. (quote from Engineering Acoustics/Filter Design & Implementation)


 * Here at Wikibooks, any user can improve modules by clicking "edit this page". I have sometimes created a module, and it exists for weeks without any edits except from me. But the opportunity was there for other users to edit modules. (Guide to UNIX, which I worked on, is begging for edits.)


 * One can use a notice like inuse to temporarily halt other edits to pages (especially pages that no other user edited recently). I usually type inuse at the top of a module, save the page, then immediately click "edit this page" and start working on my edits. Once I am finished (I might save several times), I remove inuse and save. This is only for avoiding edit conflicts, where I try to save but I find that someone else has changed something since I started. --Kernigh 03:12, 30 November 2005 (UTC)

I received a message from this user on my talk page, and it seems more reasonable now. It is interesting to me that professors are trying to increase wikibooks contributions as part of a classroom excercise. I think this this (in general) is a good thing for our community, and so long as they don't wantonly abuse policy, I'm inclined to leave well-enough alone. I personally know a good deal about acoustic engineering, but mostly with a focus on digital sound processing. I would therefore like to read this book, and maybe help out a little (when I have fewer other projects on my plate). -- 15:09, 30 November 2005 (UTC)

Orphaned modules
List of orphaned modules (see also all modules starting with "Acoustic"):
 * Engineering Acoustics/4
 * Engineering Acoustics/Acoustic Filter Design & Implementation
 * Outline - blanked by author (should be reverted, deleted or redirected)
 * Engineering Acoustics/Acoustic Filters
 * Engineering Acoustics/Acoustic Transducers - The Loudspeaker
 * Engineering Acoustics/Behaviour of the Combined Driver-Pipe System
 * Engineering Acoustics/Boundary Conditions and Wave Properties
 * Engineering Acoustics/Helmholtz Resonators with Applications to Musical Instruments
 * Engineering Acoustics/How a Car Muffler works deleted
 * Engineering Acoustics/Loudspeaker Modeling and Real World Examples deleted (blank)
 * Engineering Acoustics/New Acoustic Filter Using Periodic Polymer (Film) Media
 * Engineering Acoustics/Self-sustained oscillations of Helmholtz resonators with applications to sunroof buffeting
 * Acoustics: Self-sustained oscillations of Helmholtz resonators with applications to sunroof buffeting blank (duplicate copy of proposal)
 * Engineering Acoustics/Self-sustained oscillations of a Helmholtz resonators with applications to sunroof buffeting blank (duplicate copy of proposal)
 * Engineering Acoustics/Subwoofer Design
 * Engineering Acoustics/propagation of the wave in specific condition

In general, do not unlink a module from a book, unless the module is a redirect or being deleted (or belongs to a different book). In some cases, it appears that users unlinked modules from Engineering Acoustics main page to reupload the content under a different title; the correct thing to do would have been to use the "move page" feature of this wiki. --Kernigh 16:47, 9 December 2005 (UTC)

I created a template previous edit history (see Project:Template messages/Maintenance) to handle situation like this. I redirect an old page to its newer version, then I mark the newer version's talk page with the template.

I started striking out orphan pages from the above list which I fixed. If you fix a page in the above list, then you can strike it like I did. --Kernigh 04:21, 31 December 2005 (UTC)
