Talk:GCSE Science

Hey Theresa knott, looks like an exciting project. Best of luck and welcome to the textbook project. We're gonna like change the world, an' stuff ! Thanks for the help. (I added a couple of navigation links for you) ... --Karl Wick

Thanks for the links! We certainly are gonig to change the world, but it's a daunting prospect this early on. Still little by little -- Theresa knott 10:29, 29 Aug 2003 (UTC)

I've been thinking. I sort of hijacked this page for GCSE science. It occurs to me that someone visiting this page migh want see see things on the scientific method, anyalysing data, Good and not so good science. Examples of downright sloppy science and even fraud. That sort of thing.If anyone want's reclaim this page for general science rather than GCSE science, feel free, but please link GCSE science to the main page or somewhere it is likely to be seen Theresa knott 21:36, 18 Sep 2003 (UTC)


 * Very chivalrous of you. I imagine that as this site grows there will be all kinds of overlaps on name usage, with multiple books and stuty guides on any topic. Hopefully there will be so much activity that people will be fighting over namespaces. Well, not that I am hoping for fighting. --Karl Wick

Tweaks
Theresa, love the design of the page. I tweaked it up a bit for you. Question: Just what does "GCSE" stand for, anyways ? If I knew I forgot and don't know where to check. --Karl Wick

Thanks for the tweaks. GCSE stands for General certificate of secondary education.

The best place to check for information is wikipedia ;-) see this article for more details http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/GCSE

 * Headmistress ? OK, this must definitely be a non-US thing. Seriously, I have never heard of General certificate of secondary education before. I thought the S would stand for science ..

Funny science songs
You may like the songs found on this page. Sort of more designed for kids but it was funny to me as an adult too. Maybe it could fit into your book somewhere although I wouldn't know where.

- Thank you

Subpages
Wouldn't it be better to use subpages? For example, right now you have "GCSE_science" and "Introduction_(GCSE_science)" and so on. With subpages, they would be "GCSE_science" and "GCSE_science/Introduction" and so on. It seems tider to me because all the GCSE science pages are then contained under 'GCSE_science'. Just a thought. :) --Avxxv 20:10, 15 October 2005 (UTC)


 * Subpages is a feature that was added long after this book was created. Sure, having subpages will be much tidier, but things will have to be moved in a way to not ruin internal links. --Krackpipe 18:58, 7 December 2005 (UTC)

Proposed rename
I'd like to change these pages so that they all start with "GCSE Science/". This would bring these pages into link with other wikibooks. Any move would be done in such a way as to preserve all links. I trust this will prove to be non-controversial, but note the proposal here first to allow for comments, Jguk 12:50, 24 February 2006 (UTC)

Image format
A lot of images in this textbook are in GIF format. They should be converted to PNG, or a PNG alternative should be found. Emanla Eraton 15:26, 26 August 2007 (UTC)
