Message from Guy Vandegrift
Thank you for allowing me to post your book File:Physics for beginners Original Version.pdf. The last two word of the title reflects your stated desire to ensure that your work is not "polluted" by unwanted edits. The precedent for ensuring that the author's original work be preserved dates back to before the WikiJournal of Science, so I have no doubt that your pdf file can be preserved as long as what we call the "Wikiversity Community" so wishes. You and I are now both members of that community.

I promised to help promote your book because I am convinced that is the best available OER textbook on that subject. I believe the best next step is to convert your textbook into wiki-text, and perhaps upgrade some of your images. That will require a page with subpages for each chapter (or section). We have two choices for where to situate such a book:
 * 1) Physics for beginners Original Version
 * 2) Matthew Raspanti/Physics for beginners Original Version

I will select the second choice with the understanding that it is no trouble for me to move or rename it anywhere you wish.--Guy vandegrift (discuss • contribs) 17:13, 5 October 2019 (UTC)
