Question about reversion
Hi @Physikinger. In your reversion at Special:Diff/4383777, you reinstated links to enWp, saying dewikification is "no improvement while the information is not yet available in wikibooks". I'm hoping you can explain what you mean by this—books should not regularly wikilink out to other projects or to other books. If the information is necessary to understand the content, it should be incorporated into the book itself, as books are standalone units. Please let me know if you have any questions!

 * What I mean is that simply removing the wiki links without including the information in the book is not an improvement for the reader. What I expect from every author is that every edit should be a small step towards a better text, to give more and more useful information. Your editing was not an improvement for any reader trying to learn and apply this rather complicated math. If you are an expert in this field, feel free to insert more useful explanations to the text. Okay, there seem to be some goals of wikibooks that I'm not quite meeting. But my priority is not to fulfill wikibooks guidelines in the first place and then maybe making the text usefull. I have accumulated knowledge abut this topic during more than a decade of working with it, and I just want to help people who are engineers or physicists who have the same problems I had 10 years ago. If the guidelines do not support this knowledge transfer, I will take the freedom to interpret these guidelines more flexibly, as recommendations. My goal is not to optimize the text for people who want to print it as a book to put it in a book shelf. For 99% of readers, the online version is very fine as is.--Physikinger (discuss • contribs) 18:52, 2 July 2024 (UTC)
