Welcome message[edit source]

Hello Essie, welcome to Wikibooks!

Here are some tips to help you get started
  • Wikibooks is a collection of open-source textbooks. See What is Wikibooks to find out what types of books are acceptable.
  • To learn the wiki-markup-language syntax, see Help:Editing.
  • You should sign your name on Talk and vote pages using four tildes, like this: ~~~~
    • There is a box at the top of the edit window that will insert this, too; it looks like part of a signature.
  • 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.
  • 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 Staff Lounge with any questions or ideas.
  • Eventually, you might want to read the Manual of Style and Policies and Guidelines.
  • 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 Staff lounge, 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 this 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.

If all that seems too much to wade through, you're welcome to ask any question at all on the New Users Page of the Staff Lounge. Just hit the "+" sign on the top of that page, and enter your question! Webaware talk 04:47, 12 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Image copyright problems[edit source]

Thanks for uploading image(s) to Wikibooks. The Wikimedia Foundation is very careful about what Wikibooks includes because of copyright law, and requires that we maintain a strict copyright policy. Some or all of your uploaded files may soon be deleted unless we can determine the copyright holder and status. The copyright holder is usually the creator, the creator's employer, or the last person who was transferred ownership rights. Please take the time to read Wikibooks:Media to learn more about what copyright information is required to satisfy our requirements and remember to include this important information for every file that you upload in the future as well. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me, or ask another Wikibookian at the help desk.

To find the files in question, use (unlicensed|untagged)

This is an automated message. Please ignore it if you've already provided license information for all your uploads.
I did notice that some or all or your uploaded images say that they're your own work. Please decide how you want to license them (Public domain, GFDL...) and tag them as such. Mike.lifeguard | talk 01:30, 21 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
