[edit] 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) 05:35, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Rename Request

Hello, Wesley Gray. I've received your rename request. Here is what I need from you:

My Rules for Renaming and Usurpation
  1. Make sure your new username is appropriate, is not problematic, and is not reserved.
  2. If you have the same user name on multiple accounts, I need to see proof that you are the same person.
  3. Make sure you have an email address registered at Special:Preferences, and that you are able to receive emails from other users.

For more information about these, see my page on Renaming and Usurpation.

Once you have satisfied these requirements, send me a message and I can rename you. If you have any questions, or if you need any help, you can ask me on my user talk page, or you can ask the community at WB:CHAT or WB:AN. --Whiteknight (Page) (Talk) 22:48, 20 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] WWII

I'm glad to hear you'll be helping. Somone started it a few years ago, scrapped together a timeline for the war in the Pacific, and left the rest blank. It's a huge project, I doubt we'll finish it anytime soon, especially if it is only us. There really isn't too much on WWII in any other book, so I think this will need to be pretty detailed. Happy to have you here. Red4tribe (talk) 18:47, 23 June 2008 (UTC)

I've started a template for it too, to make navigation easier. Red4tribe (talk) 00:37, 24 June 2008 (UTC)
