Commentary[edit]

So should we put some sort of information in there introducing these answers? Certainly people not totally familiar with CP, or people say, six months from now, won't have any idea what this is all about. Is there an overall article for the history course that this could maybe be a resource for, or part of, maybe? --Kels 12:55, 22 December 2008 (EST)

We've started things on the homework answers before. Probably we should put a summary about the history course in one or both of the Andrew articles (if there isn't already) & link to them & this from there. wassaiLOIdWeaselly.jpg~ 15:35, 22 December 2008 (EST)
I assume some kind of introduction would include what course and the supposed aims or purpose of the course, including links to the Assfly's musing regarding suchlike. It should also include links to the assflyadj. lectures used for the course, preferably the verion(s) used for the course With nice links commenting on all the corrections he had to make because they were pointed out on the talk page. Perhaps that would give a better impression of the concept: crap in - crap out. Auld Nick 09:38, 23 December 2008 (EST)
I agree with Kels - if you aren't already a fan then it's pretty difficult to figure out what's going on.--Bobbing up 09:45, 23 December 2008 (EST)
Someone with the time, energy and inclination should make a master page and these reduced to sub-pages of it. (don't look at me) 09:51, 23 December 2008 (EST)
