User talk:Wanderer~enwikibooks

Welcome! Nice to have you working with us at wikibooks. Im a system operator here so if you need anything deleted or any vandal blocked, just ask me. Perl 01:23, 2 Apr 2004 (UTC)

Some people will say that a piece of literature is never finished. This would especially be true for a wiki since people can always improve upon a module, I guess. If you want a hard copy, just click the printable version button. To download the whole wikibooks database, see Database download. By the way, you accidently posted your comment on my user page instead of my talk page. Don't worry, I've made the same mistake before. (I accidently posted a comment on Harry's user page instead of his talk page just yesterday, in fact.) Happy editing! Perl 12:35, 2 Apr 2004 (UTC)

I see you've started working with the practical inductor circuits and the like! Nice going so far, keep up the good work yes!

Welcome Wanderer, your work on the Electronics book looks great! --Karl Wick

As I said on the electronics talk page:

Sound, Brief History of the Universe, The Solar System, Evolution of the Earth's Atmosphere, Earthquakes and natural disasters, and Global Warming?

As sections in the chapter Analog Circuits?

Stick to the topic, please!

Saying "the earth behaves like a conductor", "the ionosphere behaves like a conductor and can reflect radio waves" is plenty. There is no need at allllll to go into the details like this. That should be in a radio book anyway, not a basic electronics book. This is supposed to be a book about electronic circuits for beginners, not about life, the universe, and everything.

I think you are doing most of this. What do you think?

As I replied in the talk section.

Ok, I will admit that my writing does suffer a bit from feature creep. I like to be through, and there are certain subjects that are not taught in school. I have moved the offending sections to the Expanded Edition. If you see anything else that seems excessive I will move it to the Expanded Edition.

I can't agree more with Omegatron. I think me being a student and him being an engineer, see things a bit differently as a 'student of everything'. The thing I really wanted to do was cover a lot of electronics design and ultimately CONDENSE things. I wish to have a book on electronics that can go from 0-60 in about an hour or two. Explain series, parallel circuits, voltage dividers, op-amps and other analog electronics. What I personally don't care about is the science of these things. For that people are better off visiting sites like 4hv.org or something.

I love to read about all the details behind how things work, too. BUT... This is an electronics book, and should focus on electronics. Wikipedia is for providing details of everything about everything. If wikipedia and wikibooks both cover the same material, then why bother? Why is a book on electronics different from Wikipedia articles about electronics? Because it is focused. It should teach enough theory and physics that you understand the basics of what you are manipulating (charge and electron flow), because these are really necessary knowledge to understand what you are building. And it should move from easier topics to more complicated topics in an orderly way. But otherwise we should leave a lot of that stuff out and simply allow people to look it up on their own (band gaps, quantum mechanics, tunneling diodes, heavy electromagnetics, history of the universe, etc.) - Omegatron 14:44, 30 Apr 2004 (UTC)

logoff
Did you check the button that says "keep me logged in"? If you did, it should keep you logged in until the wikipedia cookie in your cookie folder gets deleted. Perl 20:54, 28 Apr 2004 (UTC)

Thank you for your comments! I wanted to make it a section in the Electronics book, but I see that the power section deals with DSP. The document I am working on deals mainly with applications in the home, so it can probably become an applications section in one of the latter chapters of the Electronics book when it is done.

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Wanderer. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Wanderer~enwikibooks that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 23:51, 17 March 2015 (UTC)
