Talk:120-cell

Wikipedia or Wikiversity?

This is very cool! What distinguishes this as a learning resource, suitable for Wikiversity, rather than an encyclopedia entry suitable for Wikipedia? Can you describe learning objectives and include student assignments? Does this teach students how to do something rather than describe something? Thanks! --Lbeaumont (discuss • contribs) 17:31, 28 November 2019 (UTC)

There is already an (earlier) version of this article on Wikipedia; this version is derived from it (its complete history was copied over to Wikiversity). This Wikiversity version is an in-progress update to the Wikipedia article, which will be merged back into the Wikipedia article when complete. I'm doing it that way because I don't want to edit the Wikipedia version incrementally, and I don't want to publish my updates on Wikipedia until I have completely sourced all the material I am adding (tracked down good references for it in the literature) and perhaps gotten some review / help from other editors.

Active research

Start a topic on this page that is relevant to the 120-cell article but not present in it yet, or that is incompletely or wrongly described. Point out what is missing in the article, question its findings (perhaps some things in the article are wrong), or ask a question about something you don't understand, in the article or about its subject generally.

Your question does not have to be inspired or especially deep for you to ask it by starting a topic on this page. If there is already a topic here that is somehow related to it, it may be best to ask your question as a reply to that topic, but this Discuss page doesn't have to be perfectly organized; it is only important that a conversation develops. Try to answer a question on this page, or make a suggestion about how to approach that question. Participate and contribute.

Simple questions are not stupid, and they are usually helpful, because the people who contributed the text of the article are often the least likely to understand how it fails to describe the subject adequately to someone who isn't already an expert in it. Anyone who provides thoughtful feedback is a participant in this research.

All scientific discovery begins by asking a question, and often the most naive questions turn out to be the most illuminating, and lead to original discoveries. Dc.samizdat (discuss • contribs) 18:52, 26 May 2024 (UTC)
