What Us Wikipedians should have attempted
[edit]There are tools to create books in wikipedia. Wikipedia is a community-driven Encyclopedia. Many of the articles in wikipedia are really very authentic and neutral.
But what Wikipedia lacks totally is a sub-site on Ab Initio Derivations on Pure Sciences. From the First principles.
Using Ockham's Razor as a strict guideline. Then, layer by layer, generalising and advancing further.
But simplest at the very beginning. Nothing more than what is absolutely necessary.
A sub-site, Wikipedia Derivations, or as an aside with an appropriate link, and then an ever-growing list of derivations contributed by community members. Posters themselves. Anyone competent to contribute. Edited. Simplified further. To be used as an Online Learning Aid.
I had thought about this for a long time, hoping that eventually, Wikipedia would stumble on to this simple idea. 10 years have passed by, but Wikipedia did not. So the time is ripe for me to post this idea.

A Sister Project to collaborate on?

As I have written in my User Page, there is a genuine requirement for a Sister Project WikiDerivations on Ab Initio Derivations on Pure Sciences, particularly, physics. From the First principles.
Using Ockham's Razor as a strict guideline. Then, layer by layer, generalising and advancing further.
But simplest at the very beginning. Nothing more than what is absolutely necessary.
A sub-site, Wikipedia Derivations, or as an aside with an appropriate link, and then an ever-growing list of derivations contributed by community members. Posters themselves. Anyone competent to contribute. Edited. Simplified further. With minimum descriptive words on that particular derivation's page. To be used as an Online Learning Aid.
To effectively end the monopoly of organised educational institutions on the greatest achievements of the Human Minds. Let the society enjoy the beauty of the interweaving of logic, analysis and experimental data, without the threats of memorisation and faithful reproduction in exams. Freedom from the need to buy generally expensive textbooks.
I waited for a long time, hoping that eventually, Wikipedia would stumble on to this simple idea. 10 years have passed by, but Wikipedia did not. So the time is ripe for me to post this idea.
Subject to approval, I could begin posting derivations.

- Bkpsusmitaa, this is an interesting idea. But this page isn't the best place for it—you probably want to take it to Meta:Proposals for new projects. Eman235/talk 03:40, 10 December 2018 (UTC)
- @Eman235: Thank you very much for responding, Eman235. Could then a copy of this discussion be moved to my User_Page please?

What should a User Page contain?
[edit]@Moderators
Intuitively, a user page should contain information about a user. My earlier page contained information about myself. Since I am an inventor, it naturally contained information about my invention.
I had a patented invention, and I chose to give it away for free. It is a Musical Interscriptor, a Slide Scale like tool that helps transposing from one scale to another at a glance. For learners. Users. Anyone. Also help determining the most common chords that could be used for a particular scale.
I wrote a paper on Alternative Interpretation of Zeno's Paradoxes, copyrighted and published it. Posted it at GeoGebra forum for interested people to look into without thinking about paying me.
I am a free-thinker. I am just me. If I read much about rules, my memory and intelligence would make me bound to innovate within the framework of those rules and memories. Which would be next to nothing. May be, it was because of this intuitive understanding that I had a reading disability since childhood. I detested reading. I have overcome this inhibition, however.
But the intuitive understanding has risen to be noticed by my conscious self and warns me from taking a deep enough plunge. At least, for a significant period without pause. I would often pause and reflect whether to proceed further. Or break the loop.
