Talk:Locally finite collection

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Having a collection of exercises is inappropriate for an encyclopedia, and breaks the uniform appearance and style. I quote from User talk:Topology Expert#Exercises in articles

"I removed the "Exercises" section of the local finiteness articles because it is a longstanding agreement that exercises do not belong in encyclopedia articles. The content criterion is located at the policy page WP:NOT: specifically, Wikipedia is not a textbook. All information from the exercises is now contained in the article itself. A reader wishing to test his or her knowledge may still do so, but the article cannot designate these special parts of the text as exercises. silly rabbit (talk) 11:44, 9 May 2008 (UTC)"

I agree. These might belong on wikibooks, but they are wholly inappropriate to an encyclopedia article. Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information, nor a textbook. JackSchmidt (talk) 15:23, 10 May 2008 (UTC)
