Welcome message[edit source]

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) 00:12, 4 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Check the need for transwiki the content...[edit source]

Transwiki exists to preserve the need of attribution to Wikipedia and the information about contributions made there, there are other solution but this would preserve the edit history. See Help:Transwiki, Wikibooks:Transwiki log. --Panic (talk) 01:01, 4 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I will import/history-merge the content from Wikipedia. Please leave me a note on my talk page specifying which Wikipedia page corresponds to each page on Wikibooks. In the future, you can request an import at WB:RFI. Thanks!  – Mike.lifeguard | talk 22:48, 6 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Huuu, look at those pretty pictures ...[edit source]

Great work mate. Clock and data recovery looks great. --Panic (talk) 16:46, 17 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! BORGATO Pierandrea (talk) 17:24, 17 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hello! Information?[edit source]

Hello BORGATO, how are you? I like your book very much, it's a topic that's of personal interest to me. I've done a majority of work on the Control Systems and Signals and Systems books, so that should give you an idea of my background.

I heard that you moved this book here from Wikipedia, correct? I would like to get a little bit of information about this from you, if possible. Why did you move the material to Wikibooks? Was the material deleted on Wikipedia? Also, are there any things that we can do to help you and your project? I have a Wikibooks news blog that I write, and I like to include stories about how Wikibooks and Wikipedia interact. I would like to write a little clip about you and your book, if you don't mind. Thanks! --Whiteknight (Page) (Talk) 15:00, 15 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, Whiteknight! I sent you a reply via email. Got it? By, BORGATO Pierandrea (talk) 21:47, 23 April 2008 (UTC).[reply]

Yes I did, and I'm sorry I didn't reply sooner. Your Curriculum Vitae is very impressive! With your experience in baseband transmissions, you might be able to lend a hand or an eye to the young Communication Networks book, or the Communication Systems book. Of course, I'm sure you're busy enough with your own projects! I agree with you that Phase aligners, PLLs and DLLs are terribly misunderstood in engineering. I can see it every day in class on the blank stares of my fellow students. A good book on this subject is therefore very important. I look forward to reading more of your book, and helping in any way that I can. --Whiteknight (Page) (Talk) 14:10, 24 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Deletions[edit source]

Would you please change those deletion tags to the following: {{delete|content merged to [[Whatever page it was moved to]]}} Thanks.  – Mike.lifeguard | talk 18:46, 1 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks, Mike. Hope I did it correctly.BORGATO Pierandrea (talk) 13:45, 2 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Upload licenses[edit source]

Thanks for your upload of File:Multilevel eye diagrams.png. Please note that GFDL license is not very well designed for images. Could you also clarify who the author/copyright-holder is? --Swift (talk) 15:02, 7 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Dear Swift, I made a new drawing on purpose, to avoid copyright problems. The scope pictures previously used came from: Principles of data Communication, a book printed in 1968. So I think a copyright still applies, doesnt'it?

And what license should be quoted for images made like this one? Thanks, Pierandrea. BORGATO Pierandrea (talk)

Yes, the book is probably still under copyright. As for the update, if it is your own creation, you can pick whatever license you like. See Wikibooks:Media for the policy on licenses here.
The GFDL is ill-suited for images as the full license has to be attached to copies and derivative works. Releaseing the image into the public domain is simplest, but doesn't require people to attribute the work to you. See Wikibooks:Media for more.
Images that are under a free license and can be of use to others outside Wikibooks should be uploaded to Wikimedia Commons. Doing so makes the transparently available on any Wikimedia project (Wikipedia, Wikitionary, Wik...).
Let me know if this is still unclear (in particular the pages I linked to) or there is anything else you'd like help with. --Swift (talk) 03:33, 9 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Please participate[edit source]

Hope you wouldn't mind participating on the "vote" to restore the CheckUser (CU) function (mostly used to fight vandalism) to the Wikibooks project, a minimum of 25 expressions of support is required to grant the flag to administrator Thenub314 (this will also enable admin Adrignola to get the function active again, since there is a minimum requirement of 2 active Wikibookians with the flag). In case you do agree to participate, your vote needs to be added to administrator Thenub314 request for permission. Thanks. --Panic (talk) 14:33, 19 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Please sign your support vote when logged in. You were not logged in. – Adrignola talk 14:14, 20 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Clock and Data Recovery[edit source]

I noticed you created a new page for Clock and Data Recovery (Noise is shaped by the PLL structure), but placed it in the Wikibooks namespace instead of within the book. I had moved it to correct this mistake, and now there is two copies, the other still within the Wikibooks namespace at Wikibooks:Clock and data recovery/Noise is shaped by the PLL structure‎‎. --darklama 14:29, 3 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I have deleted the copy in the Wikibooks namespace. I have also deleted "Clock and data recovery/The CDR' VCO" which you had previously asked on the discussion page be deleted. Yet another copy of "Noise is shaped by the PLL structure" was created at Clock and data recovery/Noise interacts with the PLL roughly two days ago. --darklama 15:39, 3 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Special:UnusedFiles[edit source]

Hi, I'm a wikignome editor and cleaning up many pages. I was realizing that many images listed at Special:UnusedFiles were uploaded by you. After a short research, I believe that most(if not all) were replaced by a better/newer version. Is that so? Can 'we' delete these images? mabdul 10:46, 14 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Ciao Mabdul, and thank you for your concern about these images. Yes, I believe that all of them are leftovers from my writing the book "Clock and data recovery", because of my insufficient knowledge of the Wikibooks world.
Please go ahead and delete them (I do not know how to delete them) as long as they are not any longer used by pages of that book.
If you will also find the time to improve the pages of that book by whatever means, please do and I will thank you for that as well (BORGATO Pierandrea 13:02, 14 June 2012 (UTC)).
