Wikibooks:Requests for import

To preserve edit histories and observe the attribution requirements of the licenses, content from our sister projects should be imported rather than simply pasted into a new module. Wikibooks administrators and importers can import pages from any of the English-language projects, Simple English Wikibooks, Meta, and Wikispecies.

Requests to import can be made to help in making or expanding a book, and to move works from other projects that fit Wikibooks' scope. Place requests below and an administrator will try to perform the import promptly.

Note that administrators are not responsible for moving and cleaning up pages. Please watch this page for when the import is complete and take care of the imported page.

Administrators and importers: To import a page, go to Special:Import. After import, add {{dewikify}} to the page and make a note where the imported page has ended up. Pages will by default import into Transwiki:Page's name.

Pages with extremely long edit histories may fail to import. In this case, a single revision which gives attribution to the source wiki will be imported. While this isn't ideal, it should satisfy our licensing. Note that repeated attempts to import may eventually bring over the history, so if it fails on the first attempt, you might want to try it a few more times. Please see bug 15000 (and vote for it to get it resolved sooner).

Import and Merge

Use this section for imports that need to be "history-merged" with a module that has already been started using copy-paste.

Simple Imports

Use this section for simple imports that you are willing to wait for before working on the content.

Wikipedia:Cournot competition and Wikipedia:Bertrand competition

I'm just about to add material on Bertrand and Cournot competition to the book Strategy for Information Markets, and figure it makes more sense to start with what's already on Wikipedia. TDang (discuss • contribs) 19:20, 7 October 2011 (UTC)

Done Transwiki:Bertrand competition, full history, and Transwiki:Cournot competition one revision only (full revision history imports ends with an error) weird the failed import seems to have now unfailed itself after I imported the single revision.QU ^TalkQu 20:15, 7 October 2011 (UTC)

I'm not sure I follow that, but I'm glad it worked out, thanks! TDang (discuss • contribs) 20:36, 7 October 2011 (UTC)

Maybe I shouldn't do two at once, just for my own confusion's sake. Can you fix my error my moving Transwiki:Cournot_competition to Strategy for Information Markets/Background/Cournot competition? TDang (discuss • contribs) 20:41, 7 October 2011 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Georgian language

The first page or two of a Georgian instructional Wikibook can be created with information in the WP article, plus information found online. Quintucket (discuss • contribs) 08:18, 23 December 2011 (UTC)

Are you asking for this to be imported so you can begin such a book, or suggesting someone else could? QU ^TalkQu 23:26, 23 December 2011 (UTC)

So I can. Georgian is one of the odder languages I'd like to learn, but I'm not the only person I've known who'd like to learn it. And the Wikipedia article is in fact almost a complete reference, but once I've got that here, I'd start at least with the basic lessons. --Quintucket (discuss • contribs) 06:56, 25 December 2011 (UTC)

Actually, I was going to hold off until I had autoconfirmed status, because I didn't realize you'd import them directly (looking at all the Transwiki namespaces.) What I really wanted was Wikipedia:Georgian grammar to Georgian/Nouns.

Done QU ^TalkQu 09:45, 25 December 2011 (UTC)

Would it also be possible to import Wikipedia:Georgian language itself to Georgian/Introduction, Wikipedia:Georgian verb paradigm to Georgian/Verbs ( Done QU ^TalkQu 09:45, 25 December 2011 (UTC)), and Wikipedia:Georgian alphabet to Georgian/Alphabet ( Done QU ^TalkQu 09:45, 25 December 2011 (UTC)) I'm going to create the Georgian page now, and wait on import for the others.
Thanks, Quintucket (discuss • contribs) 07:07, 25 December 2011 (UTC)

All done. Full revision history for all except Wikipedia:Georgian language and Wikipedia:Georgian alphabet which kept erroring on the import. QU ^TalkQu 09:45, 25 December 2011 (UTC)

Unless the name is exactly the same, the import has to go to the Transwiki namespace and then be moved. However, there's no problem requesting an import with the final destination so it can be imported then immediately moved. QU ^TalkQu 09:55, 25 December 2011 (UTC)

Awesome, thanks!

Wikipedia:Turkish vocabulary

Could someone import Wikipedia:Turkish vocabulary to Turkish/Postpositions? The relevant vocab I want from that article are the postostions, conjuctions, and some of the adjectives, and the latter already has its own page. I'm not sure if what I'd be using merits importing, but I figured I'd err on the side of caution. I'm willing to CP and attribute in the talk pages if it's any trouble though. --Quintucket (discuss • contribs) 19:04, 29 December 2011 (UTC)

Intellectual Property and the Internet; or An Attempt to Create a Wikibook for þe SOPA Blackout and Times Þereafter

With Wikipedia going blacked out for SOPA, I began a project to choose a set of articles to create stable versions of, to distribute to family and friends in the states, explaining the issue. The goal of course is to be inform, they need to know more than why Wikimedia is threatened by SOPA, they need to know what it means, and why people support it in the first place. And they need to know where it comes from.

Then it occurred to me that in what I'm trying to do: dewikifying a select set of articles and creating stable versions, means that I am attempting to create a book. And that if I made it on Wikibooks, rather than as a pdf file people have to read linearly, I would be able to provide people a lot more choice, while still focusing on the issue that SOPA raises.

And so, I would like to make a possibly unorthodox request, for the import of the following articles, as I attempt to make an booklet of dewikified articles in time for the big blackout. I think the following list is enough, together with external and wiktionary links to give people a general idea.

I know it's a ton (and I commented out several more articles I'd also like, but are at the bottom of my priority list for this book.)

Some lingusitics topics

Would it be possible to either transwiki some linguistics articles from Wikipedia and then do a history merge with articles that articles that are stubs? Or else just delete those articles and bring in the WP articles? (I'll note which of these I'm the only contributor, or where the article before I came along had no more than two sentences.) Specifically:

• w:Semantics -> Linguistics/Semantics (primary contributor)
• w:Pragmatics -> Linguistics/Pragmatics (primary contributor)
• w:Sociolinguistics ->Linguistics/Sociolinguistics (only contributor)
• w:Creole language -> Linguistics/Creoles (only contributor)
• w:Language acquisition -> Linguistics/Language Acquisition (only contributor)
• w:Evolutionary linguistics -> Linguistics/Evolutionary Linguistics (prior contributor provided information that belonged in psycholinguistics, however frankly if a history merge isn't possible, the Wikipedia articles on both EvLing and Psycholing are far better than what we have)
• w:Psycholinguistics -> Linguistics/Psycholinguistics (see above)

Also:

• w:Sign language ->Linguistics/Signed Languages
  • w:Nicaraguan Sign Language Linguistics/Signed Languages/NSL
