Speedsolving wiki: "Request an Article" Thread

[macky]

To start this off, I want a couple sentences on this: http://www.speedsolving.com/wiki/index.php/RCC
I don't remember enough about it.

[edit]
New or improved articles about speedcubing itself are of course also great, but my focus is more historical.

Please include relevant links in your posts.

I request people help update the FAQ so when we sent beginners there they dont get given useless outdated information. I already changed the what cube part.

It would be nice if the parity article could be expanded.
Hopefully with stuff that directly involves cubing and solving parity issues, rather than lots of theoretical or mathematical stuff. (for example, algorithms, tips for recognizing parity, etc)

Yes, the current article just sucks.

Well, no. The "parity" article should stick to the concept of parity, algs and tips depend on your solving method and thus should go to the corresponding pages.

Then why don't you fix it? (I'm serious by the way). I asked people to fix that article in July of 2010, and there have been some edits yes, but I agree that the article could still be better.

If you know something about this topic, then why not edit the wiki page with your changes? That's why anyone can edit it. Be the change you want to see in the world.

A page about the Yau method for 4x4 would be good. I only started using it today and I recommended more cubers need to hear about it.

Can someone make a 4x4 edge method page, describing all the main ways of pairing on 4x4, and defining 333, 32222 whatev, etc.?

Added a lot. http://www.speedsolving.com/wiki/index.php/Permutation
