Wikibooks:Requests for Import

From Wikibooks, the open-content textbooks collection

Archives

Rather then copying and pasting material from other Wikimedia projects, Wikibooks administrators can import pages from English Wikipedia, English Wikiversity, English Wikisource, Simple English Wikibooks and English Wikinews. When pages are imported this way, the edit history is preserved and the attribution requirements of the licenses used are observed.

Requests to import pages can be made to help in making or expanding a book, and to move "textbook style" works from other projects where such materials may be out of scope. Anyone can make a request and administrators will try to perform the import promptly.

Administrators are not responsible for moving and cleaning up pages.
All pages will appear as [[Transwiki:Pages name]] after import, unless otherwise noted. Any Wikibookian may feel free to move pages out of the transwiki namespace. Also, we may not be able to import pages with extremely long edit histories, in which case an administrator will note that the import failed. In this case, a single revision will be imported, which gives attribution to Wikipedia; this should satisfy the GFDL, though is not ideal. Admins should use {{import failed|Article name}} on the talk page to note this.

[edit] April 2008

w:Bloody_Mary_(cocktail) has a lot of recipe-ish content. Random832 (talk) 00:40, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

Could we import to Wikijunior:Famous Inventors/Early Inventors/Galileo this entry fromw:Galileo_Galilei? I want to try out the import before I try it with my students' modules. Did I get this request right? --Jsigler (talk) 18:19, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

Here (only 1 revision) & a note on your talk page. – Mike.lifeguard | ^talk 21:26, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] May 2008

w:Algebraic chess notation SunCreator (talk) 19:03, 16 May 2008 (UTC)
Done - I got both, but Transwiki:Algebraic chess notation had too many edits, so not all the history came with it. Transwiki:Chess opening theory table came across with all its history though. --Jomegat (talk) 19:15, 16 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] 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.

A Wikimanual of Gardening/Cephalotus: Pardon me, I should have requested this be moved from Cephalotus. Can the history of the page be merged with the cut/paste and cleanup I did here?. Cheers, Cygnis insignis (talk) 02:23, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

Done – Mike.lifeguard | ^talk 03:02, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

Can we try an import and Merge of histories for Wikijunior:Famous_Inventors/Inventors_in_Communication/Nikola_Tesla_(Radio) from w:Nikola_Tesla.

Import failed, so I just put a template on the talk page and a note in the history. – Mike.lifeguard | ^talk 19:46, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
