[edit] Can you tell me anything about the Wikibooks logo?

More information about the logo and versions of it are best found at Meta:Wikibooks/Logo.

[edit] Is there any legal implications in allowing anyone to edit? Is it safe?

In practice, illegal material gets removed from active wikis quite quickly. See this discussion on Ward's Wiki for more thoughts.

[edit] How should I link to Wikibooks?

We don't require you to do so in any particular way. Please use your own best judgment.

[edit] Where does one request new entries?

After you've exhausted searching for the content, you may ask for more help in locating it in the assistance reading room, or add an entry to Wikibooks:Requested books.

[edit] Is there any peer-review process to validate included information?

In general, Wikibooks depends on contributors like you to fix any incorrect information, though Wikibooks does have a system to review page revisions. Content should generally be easy to verify by checking other sources or through being able to reproduce similar results yourself.

[edit] How is Wikibooks backed up? Could an accident destroy everything?

Database dumps are made periodically. Anyone can store their own copies.

[edit] Why do some books look a lot like Wikipedia articles?

Some pages have been transwikied from Wikipedia, but not yet rewritten into proper books. You can help!
