Learning Arimaa/Overview‎; 00:44 . . (+3,742)‎ . . ‎Mattj2 (discuss | contribs)‎ (copying verbatim from "Arimaa" book)
Why? --88.70.78.121 (discuss) 01:06, 10 April 2013 (UTC)
 * I want to make a brand new Wikibook that is about the same general topic but is oriented towards beginners. Maybe starting with a direct copy was a stupid idea.  I'll edit in a minute so the book text is not copied... Mattj2 (discuss • contribs) 01:42, 10 April 2013 (UTC)


 * Ok I edited. Sorry.  I hope it is ok now. Let me know if it is not. Mattj2 (discuss • contribs) 01:57, 10 April 2013 (UTC)

The Arimaa wikibook should itself be oriented toward beginners. Perhaps we could work on the presentation a bit. Belteshazzar (discuss • contribs) 07:15, 1 March 2014 (UTC)
 * I don't really have a lot of free time. What did you have in mind?  I was thinking that beginners would benefit most from a book that is short and has a very limited scope.  There is so much information in this book I think it would be quite intimidating to a beginner.  But I wouldn't want to deprive more experienced players of that knowledge.

 * I think we should put the simple stuff at the beginning of Arimaa. Belteshazzar (discuss • contribs) 03:31, 7 March 2014 (UTC)
 * I really don't have time to edit the Wikibook. I'm glad that you're fixing it up! If you want more feedback you can always post on the Arimaa.com forums. Mattj2 (discuss • contribs) 05:35, 6 April 2014 (UTC)
