[edit] Simple imports

[edit] January 2008

For my used car buying book. --Solumeiras (talk) 19:11, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

The first one is Done here. The other two failed because of too many revisions probably. I'll see if anyone else has any luck with them. Mattb112885 (talk to me) 18:47, 13 January 2008 (UTC)
No luck; Here and here with {{Import failed}} on the talk page.  – Mike.lifeguard | talk 19:11, 13 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Wikipedia:Cuisine of Aghanistan (Wikibooks already has a page for Cuisine of Aghanistan but there isn't any information on it.)
    Not done - That page doesn't exist.  – Mike.lifeguard | talk 00:29, 4 January 2008 (UTC)
    Failed - I added an 'f' to "Afghanistan" and found the page, but the import still failed. I guess there are too many revisions for the import tool to handle. --Jomegat (talk) 04:01, 4 January 2008 (UTC)
    Here  – Mike.lifeguard | talk 21:21, 6 January 2008 (UTC)
How did you do that Mike? --Jomegat (talk) 21:27, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] February 2008

w:Denmark I want to edit it to put in Wikijunior for Europe. Thoughts? Laleena (talk) 02:00, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

Doneish. Able to import 1 revision here. I learned some things about this import, and i'll make a note about it at WB:AN. --Whiteknight (Page) (Talk) 02:07, 4 February 2008 (UTC)
Done – Mike.lifeguard | talk 13:24, 11 February 2008 (UTC)
Done You can get it here. --Jomegat (talk) 03:23, 16 February 2008 (UTC)
For use here. Thanks, Laleena (talk) 01:23, 20 February 2008 (UTC)
Done, but not all the versions would come over. You can see it here. --Jomegat (talk) 01:51, 20 February 2008 (UTC)
For use in the Iranian History textbook. Thanks, Laleena (talk) 15:17, 23 February 2008 (UTC)
Done sort of. I got the text to come over, but only the most recent revision. You can get it at the expected place. --Jomegat (talk) 19:03, 23 February 2008 (UTC)
A method which is better on Wikibooks. Carlosguitar (talk) 00:27, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
Done You can find it here. --Jomegat (talk) 01:08, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] March 2008

For use in the Volcanoes wikibook. Thanks, Laleena (talk) 13:41, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
Done kind of. I managed to get the article to come over, but not the history. THe article is here. --Jomegat (talk) 15:11, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Inorganic Chemistry

I have a rather long list of requests for importing from wikipedia, but then, Inorganic Chemistry happens to be a lot of factual matter.

These articles serve primarily encyclopaedic content but can serve as a starting point for the Inorganic Chemistry - Chemical Bonding module.

Thanks--Thewinster (talk) 19:29, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

Done – Mike.lifeguard | talk 20:21, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
I noticed that not all images are not locally avaiable, like the portait of G N Lewis on the Inorganic Chemistry/Chemical Bonding/Lewis Dot Structures Is this some flaw or was intentionally done? Am i allowed to create copies of the images on wikipedia on wikibooks as well? --Thewinster (talk) 19:49, 27 March 2008 (UTC)
Those would be images that were uploaded to Wikipedia rather than to the Commons. You can copy them from Wikipedia to the Commons yourself if you like. Basically, you'll need to find the full resolution image on Wikipedia and save it to your local PC. Then log into the Commons and click the upload link. You will be presented with a set of choices, one of which is "It is from another Wikimedia project" - that's the one you'll want. That will take you to a page with a form. At the top of the page will be a link to "the CommonsHelper tool" which is very useful for capturing info about the picture. I'm sure you can figure the rest out by reading the prompts, but if you run into trouble, please ask. There's prolly a page about this process somewhere. Hope that helped. --Jomegat (talk) 21:01, 27 March 2008 (UTC)
Thanks for the info. I could have figured out a lot of it myself once i was told those images were not on commons. But the whole reply was bubbling with enthusiasm! :D Thanks for the "from other wikiedia project" bit! --Thewinster (talk) 16:52, 28 March 2008 (UTC)
