I have worked on a new hexadecimal article at [[User:AJ/Hexadecimal Notation]] which is a bit more in-depth than the current version (which seems to be put on the wiki a while ago now). Could I get opinions on whether I could replace the existing article (after some tidying up)? I also plan to do binary (with bitwise compares etc...) and possibly decimal versions of the article too. If it's best, I'll ask this in the forums. --[[User:AJ|AJ]] 06:18, 23 November 2007 (CST)

: What is missing in ''your'' version is how to convert between decimal and hex, you currently say nothing about getting the decimal value of a hex number, and you refer to printf for "converting" decimal to hex, which people will not always be able to use. For these reasons I say no for the time being. - [[User:Combuster|Combuster]] 15:16, 25 November 2007 (CST)

Replacing This Article

I have worked on a new hexadecimal article at User:AJ/Hexadecimal Notation which is a bit more in-depth than the current version (which seems to be put on the wiki a while ago now). Could I get opinions on whether I could replace the existing article (after some tidying up)? I also plan to do binary (with bitwise compares etc...) and possibly decimal versions of the article too. If it's best, I'll ask this in the forums. --AJ 06:18, 23 November 2007 (CST)

What is missing in your version is how to convert between decimal and hex, you currently say nothing about getting the decimal value of a hex number, and you refer to printf for "converting" decimal to hex, which people will not always be able to use.
