Welcome message

Hello, and welcome to Wikibooks!

Here are some tips to help you get started:

  • To learn the wiki-markup-language syntax, see Help:Editing.
  • Make sure to sign your posts and comments with four tildes, like this: ~~~~
    • There is a box at the top of the edit window (if javascript is enabled on your browser) that will insert it too (looks like part of a signature). This will let others know who left it, and make it easy to reply back to you.
  • Remember to conduct any editing experiments in the sandbox.
  • You can tell the community something about yourself in your userpage.
    • You can get to this page by clicking the tab at the top of the page labeled with your registered username.
  • Wikibooks is a collection of open-source textbooks. (What is Wikibooks).
  • If you are a Wikipedian, see Wikibooks:Wikibooks for Wikipedians for a primer on how things work here (it's a little different).
    • If you want to base your work here on materials from Wikipedia, please use WB:RFI (requests for importation) to bring the material over in compliance with the GFDL.
  • If you're an instructor and plan on using Wikibooks for a class project, see Wikibooks:Guidelines for class projects
  • Please say hello at the Reading Room with any questions or ideas.
  • Eventually, you might want to read the Manual of Style and Policies and Guidelines.
    • Help us by participating in policy and guideline creation.
    • Please take a look at Wikibooks:Naming policy before starting a new book.
  • Remember to maintain a Neutral point of view.
  • Explore, be bold in editing pages, and have fun!

You will find more resources in Community Portal. If you want to ask a question, visit the Study help desk, the Reading Room, IRC channel or ask me personally on my talk page. For site news, see the Bulletin board. It might be a good idea to add that page to your "watchlist" so that you can see when any new information is posted there. You can do that by clicking the tab labeled "watch" at the top of the page.

Good luck! --Panic (talk) 15:55, 12 December 2007 (UTC)Reply

Empty Categories

Why are you linking all of my pages to seemingly random dead categories? EvanCarroll (talk) 16:46, 1 June 2008 (UTC)Reply

Please open a separate account to perform this task. Since you're not flushing recentchanges, I don't think you need a flag, but you can ask at WB:RFP if you like. Thanks!  – Mike.lifeguard | talk 16:22, 23 March 2008 (UTC)Reply

Also, if you want rollbacker and/or patroller rights... [1]  – Mike.lifeguard | talk 06:02, 20 April 2008 (UTC)Reply

Optimizing C++

edit

Avevo già messo l'interwiki link per il modulo base, e non pensavo fosse utile anche per i moduli interni. Comunque lo farò. --Carlo.milanesi (talk) 20:05, 28 May 2008 (UTC)Reply

A-Level Biology

edit

Hi,

I have tried to have the correct classification for my chapters in my modules - so that there is a link to the parent page on the top of each chapters page as in http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/A-level_Biology/Biology_Foundation/cell_structure for example;

'A-level Biology/Biology Foundation/cell structure From Wikibooks, the open-content textbooks collection

A-level Biology | Biology Foundation'

I was wondering if you could help classify the rest of the modules pages that'd be a fantastic help!

Thanks,

--Greenie (talk) 18:53, 11 June 2008 (UTC)Reply

Hi, sorry, fixed it now! --Greenie (talk) 15:02, 12 June 2008 (UTC)Reply

edits to Question Writer 3 Manual

edit

Hi I have noticed you have entered category links in sub pages of Question Writer 3 Manual that I am working on - is there a reason why?

thanks Hskeet (talk) 16:14, 28 June 2008 (UTC)Reply

OK I see why you have done that now (thanks :))- but am a little concerned that the link is red! Clearly the book exists? any clues?

Hskeet (talk) 23:30, 30 June 2008 (UTC)Reply

The category didn't exist, but I just created it for you.  — Mike.lifeguard | talk 01:38, 1 July 2008 (UTC)Reply

what is a "book"

edit

See User_talk:Mike.lifeguard#what is a "book". At this stage I am looking help identifying major flaws in algorithm, so I can fix them and then take the discussion to the village pump. Feedback on my talk would be the best spot at the moment. Cheers, John Vandenberg (talk) 04:24, 6 July 2008 (UTC)Reply
