→Article "Two": re
==Article "Two"==
==Article "Two"==
Your "better idea" probably was for the page "[[Two]]." I wasn't quite sure what to do with it, myself. For some reason, when I opened the page the "talk page" tab showed red, so I didn't open it. Only when Conservative deleted it did I realized there was something there. Sorry I missed whatever you said, but thanks! --[[User:DavidB4|David B]] ([[User talk:DavidB4|talk]]) 10:35, 14 June 2016 (EDT)

:Yeah, I was mostly trying to fill you in on the history of that article and the controversy surrounding it. Unfortunately, I lost sight of the fact that, by writing on the talk page for the article itself, it would get vaped before you read it. Here is my reconstruction from memory of what I was saying.

:*Where would it end? There's no article for 3.

::No problem--it was there for a while, anyway, and I should have seen it.
::#I wondered the same!
::#That's a good point, though one could argue that a page titled "two" should not have contained 1+1, but rather "one plus one." Anyway, that's doesn't matter now.
::#To some extent, it does seem like a good idea to have some basics along with specifics, but not necessarily before. However, basics in my book would be pre-algebra, not the A-B-C's and 1-2-3's.
::#Without starting the war over "adult" topics, I agree. We are here to educate, but there needs to be a certain level of knowledge expectation. CP was originally intended to be by and for home-preschoolers. True, organized schooling starts at what, four or five years of age? By then they should surely know how to count. In theory, however, this would be for older children who already have a knowledge base they are building on.
::Anyway, I do find your tidbits of history interesting. Thanks! On a side note, do you know if Ed Poor is still active on CP? I see in his [[Special:Contributions/Ed_Poor|contributions log]] that in the past, he has been here for a day then gone for a while, usually two or three weeks. However, he's been away since March. As you may be aware, I was hoping to pick his brain regarding the setup of a wiki bot.--[[User:DavidB4|David B]] ([[User talk:DavidB4|talk]]) 14:07, 14 June 2016 (EDT)
