Trigonometry Book
Just to say how much I am appreciating your help with the Trigonometry book. Your contributions are consistently helpful, and giving me hope that getting book 1 to featured status is within reach. --JamesCrook (talk) 20:37, 5 January 2011 (UTC)

for Enthusiasts Sections
My idea for the 'for Enthusiasts' sections is that they are to interest and engage the student who is racing ahead.


 * I am a bit concerned that your three new additions for enthusiasts in book 1, even when complete, might be more of a turn-off than a turn-on for the interested student. Something like the compass bearings page could be spiced up with a discussion of true north and magnetic north - and I'd then be happier that it was of interest to them.  Are you OK with it moving in that direction?
 * Are angles of elevation part of mainstream trig syllabus in some syllabi? If so they should be in the main section.  Do we need a section in the main book on real-world applications of trigonometry?

I want to get across that for enthusiasts sections aren't a dumping ground for off-syllabus topics. They are to help bright students who would otherwise be getting bored. These students may also be neglecting to practice their trig skills, so the idea is that the trig in it will get them thinking and practising again. I'm open to a different vision of what the enthusiasts section is for, but I would like us to try and articulate it better so that we agree. -- JamesCrook (discuss • contribs) 17:13, 4 February 2011 (UTC)

AQA Computing
Hi Wisden, Thank you for keeping an eye on the AQA A-Level Computing book and reverting a nonsense change. If you would like to be involved with how we are progressing the text please jump right in. Thanks Pluke (discuss • contribs) 14:02, 4 February 2011 (UTC)

Yes, I know
Yes, I know that Wikilivres is back. I check it every day. But the site is still quite unstable at the moment. All the changes that I made to it since 28 October have now disappeared. It's supposed to be all back to normal by December. I'll start editing again on 1 December. Simon Peter Hughes (discuss • contribs) 05:27, 12 November 2018 (UTC)
