[edit] Old books?
I'm not sure if this would be feasible, but could we make articles on old kids books that have expired copyrights? It might be fun to have a bit of a "story" section with classic books. --Sanitized (talk) 17:11, 5 September 2009 (UTC)
shouldn't those thing appear in wikisource?C933103 (talk) 13:35, 8 November 2009 (UTC)
[edit] separated web
content for kids should be setup on different (sub)domain and no links to any other web that's not safe-for-kids, including any links to wikipedia.org, wikimedia.org, etc.
example good site for kids: kids.yahoo.com ; kids.aol.com
all these to prevent kids accidently open non-kids sites

[edit] Three suggestions
Why not change the name of wikijunior to WiJi? It would definitely be more appealing to children. I think it sounds a lot better. Another suggestion would be to ditch the whole wikipedia template, its too boring. make one more appealing to children. My final suggestion is too allow for flash upload; this will allow interactive viewing for children,. Animation explains in a way no textbook can. It would be exclusive to wikipedia.
I agree with the boring layout. Books for children need to be much more visual, rather than text-based. The flash upload would help add point-and-click visual interaction. Animation is one of the biggest strengths of web content over paper content. --Jsigler (talk) 02:28, 3 September 2009 (UTC)
I agree as well. If you ever watch kids go online, all of the websites they go on are colorful and animated. If we want this site to be child oriented we should take steps to make it more visually pleasing for a younger audience. --Sanitized (talk) 17:07, 5 September 2009 (UTC)
[edit] I'm for a book about good books for kids
I would like to see a book containing book reviews. I would like to contribute reviews of books by Holling Clancey Holling like "Paddle to the Sea," the "Swallows and Amazons" books and their video tie-ins, and "Banners at Shenandoah" by the noted historian Bruce Catton.
[edit] What replaced voting?
I'm confused. Somebody show me the light? Purplebackpack89 (talk) 04:20, 31 August 2009 (UTC)
- So am I. I think that voting was abandoned because of a lack of input from Wikibookians/Wikijuniorians and maybe a lack of new suggestions. I never liked the voting process but I'm not sure if anything has replaced it. Maybe we have abandoned new titles for now in an effort to concentrate on existing books. Or maybe there is a free-for-all and we can create what we want. Any takers?--ЗAНИA
