Wikijunior:Numbers from 1 to 20
Short Counting book to teach the first 20 numbers to little kids. Useing pictures of household objects/ things Kids would know to teach the numbers. Empire3131 (talk) 22:31, 30 December 2008 (UTC)
 * This is a good start, but I think the layout needs work. It takes more than 30 minutes to create a feature-quality book.  The book would be a lot better if the pictures weren't laid out in a linear string, wrapping when there are too many.  Also, I believe it would be better to show four different dogs, and five different cows.  It also needs to be moved to Wikijunior. --Jomegat (talk) 22:59, 30 December 2008 (UTC)
 * It's in the list of WJ books. Empire3131 (talk) 00:19, 31 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Ah yes, so it is, here: Wikitoddler for anyone else who wants to look. Unusual? Quite TalkQu 00:36, 31 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Added to Wikijunior and Wikitoddler Categories. Pages 1-6 have different things on them. Empire3131 (talk) 00:46, 31 December 2008 (UTC)


 * One especially overt problem with this book is that for several of the numbers, there are the right number of pictures, but multiple objects per picture. 3 shows five cherries; 17 shows thirty four fish; 18 shows thirty six sailboats.  20 might technically show just twenty objects, but only because the four bars in each picture are attached to each other; it could also be taken as showing eighty bars.
 * It does seem strange that there is no structure given to the presentations of higher numbers. I myself would instinctively illustrate sixteen objects in a 4x4 grid, if I were only illustrating sixteen, and if I were illustrating a whole series of different numbers of objects I'd probably think about it and choose some sort of uniform convention for all of them, like five per row, or something.  Seems like a subject for deep thought.  Pi zero (talk) 16:04, 31 December 2008 (UTC)


 * [[Image:Symbol comment vote.svg|15px]] Comment I don't think we should hold the length of time it took to create against it. Yes it should be in Wikijunior, but that's simple to achieve. Agree with Jomegat regarding the different pictures as I think a small child would have trouble in remembering where they were in counting a line of CDs and would possibly lose interest.  Not voting, too new here (although my first edit was more than a year ago) - give me a couple of months and I'll be more decisive. Unusual? Quite  TalkQu 23:26, 30 December 2008 (UTC)
 * [[Image:Symbol comment vote.svg|15px]] Comment is there a way to withdraw my nomination? Empire3131 (talk) 23:31, 31 December 2008 (UTC)


 * Looking through the page history it looks like you just remove this whole section and use an edit summary something like "withdrawing nomination for....". Unusual? Quite TalkQu 00:22, 1 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Archiving is surely the destiny of all talk threads. Looking through the page history, I'm not sure what you're seeing.  If I'd nominated something and wanted to withdraw the nomination, I'd probably just put tags at the top and bottom of the thread, maybe in italics, with some pithy wording like "This nomination has been withdrawn by the nominator. &mdash; &lt;my signature&gt;".  If that turned out not to be the ideal way to go about it, it would probably at least cause the right thing to happen.  Pi zero (talk) 01:39, 1 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Here, for example. There doesn't seem to be a process of marking sections as complete, just an archiving away when someone gets round to it. Your way would work just as well though and would be clearer I guess. Unusual? Quite TalkQu 01:46, 1 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Ah! Now I see.  Every section ends with a comment that starts with either ✅ or ❌, documenting how it was resolved.  So the nominator would withdraw the nomination by simply adding a comment at the end of the section like " ❌ I withdraw the nomination. &mdash; &lt;my signature&gt;".

 * Hi everybody! I'm also new at en.wikibooks, but I've done a book similar to this one with my friends at pt.wikibooks, called "Pequenos números" (something like "Little numbers"). Maybe we can make the two books get even better at once! After lots of suggestions our book became a "featured book" there... I believe the same can happens with "Numbers from 1 to 20"... —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Helder.


 * [[Image:Symbol oppose vote.svg|15px]] Oppose I don't see this becoming a featured book anytime soon, it doesn't have enough content. What Helder said, would definitely improve the book, and it wouldn't be that hard to do. The Portuguese version has a picture of a traditional paper used in many European primary level schools, sentences using the number and nice little "next buttons". ~ TheSun (talk) 02:15, 6 January 2009 (UTC) ~
