Calculus 101
Hi, it looks like you're doing nice work on a calculus intro--but the encyclopedia part of the Wikimedia project (i.e. Wikipedia) isn't really the right place for it. We have a project called Wikibooks which is separate from the encyclopedia and which is for developing textbooks. There's been a Wikibooks Calculus text in progress there for a while, and it can always use more editors. That's definitely the right place for writing about calculus from scratch. Wikipedia is not a textbook but rather a collection of articles, so here we'd have a lot of separate articles on theorems from calculus (Chain rule, Integration by parts, etc.) instead of something like "Calculus 101".

Anyway, your contributions are very welcome and appreciated, they just need to be moved around in order to fit the Wikimedia project structure better. Please do keep contributing, either over on Wikibooks in the textbook format, or here on Wikipedia but within the encyclopedia format instead of the textbook format. 67.117.130.181 15:08, 13 December 2006 (UTC)


 * Yes, please have a look at Wikibooks Calculus and incorporate your text there. I moved your work to User:Derserrs/Calculus 101 to make it clear that it is not considered part of the encyclopaedia. Please do not hesitate to contact me at User talk:Jitse Niesen if you want some more explanation. Cheers, Jitse Niesen 04:06, 14 December 2006 (UTC)
