Talk:West-East Notation & Bin Notation

Not by accident
This page was created neither by accident nor as a test. Should I do anything now?

 * Hi @MusJabłkowy! The book still seems underdeveloped to me, and I have a few suggestions to help flesh it out:
 * Many books have an introduction where they outline and give a thorough explanation of their scope and goals. I thing it would be a good idea to flesh out the very short introduction section already present.
 * It seems like the content of this book may be original research or an essay based in personal opinion. To remain at Wikibooks, the content should be educational and neutral (for example, like a textbook). And, it should have a clear outline so other editors can contribute as well.
 * Does this clarify things? —Kittycataclysm (discuss • contribs) 13:08, 4 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Hi @Kittycataclysm!
 * Thank you for dedicating your time to improve my text. It really is my original research. Does it mean, that it cannot remain in Wikibooks? This would make me sorry.
 * I have asked many mathematical journals to publish this text, but they all answered, that it does not match their scope. And I agree. I also tried in ISO, but they answered, that they will publish the description of these notations when they are already in a common use.
 * I think this is not a proper time to make the text educational: first, the notations proposed in this text should be accepted by the community. Once they are accepted, I could try to write a manual (for example stating how to perform arithmetic operations on such numbers). So far I am glad that the text is rather short.
 * And I think it would make this text worse if I made the introduction longer, because I have nothing more to say in it. Many people do not read introductions, especially if they are long.
 * When You write "outline", do You mean a table of contents consisting of links to sections? I guess I could make it. I will be glad if other editors contribute.
 * Thanks in advance.

 * Hi @MusJabłkowy, and thank you for clarifying that this is original research! Unfortunately, Wikibooks is not the place for original research—however, Wikibooks' sister project Wikiversity does include original research! I recommend moving this content over to Wikiversity, which is better-suited to host it. Once you move it, we will delete it from Wikibooks. Hope this helps! —Kittycataclysm (discuss • contribs) 02:17, 9 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Hi @Kittycataclysm, thank You very much. I didn't know about Wikiversity.
 * I have put my article there and I hope it will remain in Wikiversity. Feel free to delete the article from Wikibooks.
 * Thanks again
