About Wikibooks Creating an Account Building Your User Page List of Topics   Building Your User Page

You do not need to reveal your offline identity, but having an account gives you a fixed Wikibooks identity that other users will recognize. Editing Wikibooks while logged in lets you build trust and respect through a history of good edits. It is also easier to communicate and collaborate with an editor if we know who you are (at least, who you are on Wikibooks). It is also easier for veteran users to assume good faith from new users who take the effort to create an account (and you may well become a veteran user yourself some day!).
