Dysprosia: Don't want to sound rude, but your change on the Algebra I page isn't correct. A surd is not specifically a radical. More accurately, it's an irrational number-any irrational number. ${\sqrt {3}}$ is a surd and a radical, $\pi$ is a surd but not a radical...Surd is an outdated term anyway. Every Algebra I book I've ever seen calls them 'irrational numbers'.

<shamefaced>Thanks for fixing all those multiple choice pages. I misspelled it once,never noticed, then copied and pasted it for all thew other pages (so I only had to change the numbers)</shamefaced> Theresa knott 11:47, 25 Sep 2003 (UTC)

Why are you changing all the page names in the German text and others? I was not aware that we had settled on a style and I prefer spaces (i.e. German: Lesson 1) as it reads better at the top of the page - Marsh 09:20, 3 Nov 2003 (UTC)

It's convention by default, really - sorry if changing them upset you. If you look at how it's done in all other name spaces, such as User talk:, Wikibooks:, User:, there are no spaces between the colon and article name.

Maybe I'm being pernickety and should just let others do their thing. Revert/move back if you prefer (with my apologies). Dysprosia 11:25, 3 Nov 2003 (UTC)

I'll have to think about it. Not upset, but I had just finished changing over the few old way pages. There was some discussion on standarding these things (Staff Lounge), but that has not gone too far. Don't you think it looks better at the top of each book page to have German: Lesson 1 rather than German:Lesson 1 (convention or not)? - Marsh 17:00, 3 Nov 2003 (UTC)
