Discussion of non-commutativity insertion |

Line 190:
: Interestingly, the double cover section is one of the few early parts I thought about trying to preserve. It's and important and fascinating aspect of how quaternions relate to symmetry groups, and could be helpful for anyone coming here to gain insights on particle spin. A fresh start seemed better, though. [[User:Terry Bollinger|Terry Bollinger]] 02:47, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
== Discussion of non-commutativity insertion ==
Janek Kozicki: Your description of the book analogy in 3D space looks correct, and its an interesting point related to rotations of quaternions. However, you might want to think about where you have positioned it versus the kinds of readers most likely to link to this article. I suspect most such readers will not understanding how quaternions are used to represent rotations in the first place -- and until they can fully understand that, an immediate discussion of non-commutativity will not be what they expect, nor something they will easily be able to follow. They may understand the analogy fine, but not why it is being told to them.
I think a paragraph like the one your wrote might fit nicely somewhere within the overall group of quaternion articles, but I would suggesting thinking about ___location a bit more.
