Welcome to Wikibooks, Growl41!

First steps tutorial

Wikibooks is for collaborative development of free textbooks.

You do not need technical skills to contribute. You can easily change most books. Please introduce yourself, and let us know what interests you.

If you already contribute at other Wikimedia projects, our Wikimedia Orientation should quickly get you started.

(Would you like to provide feedback on this message?)

Getting help

• Read the Using Wikibooks book for a friendly introduction to the project, or our help pages for more information.
• You can get friendly help from the community in the user assistance room or our IRC channel.
• Upload freely licensed files to Wikimedia Commons. You may request permission to upload fair use files locally. Please include author and source {{information}} and a {{non-free use rationale}} for non-free files.

Made a mistake?

• You can restore a previously saved version.
• Pages should follow the Book Title/Chapter Title naming convention.
• Need to rename a page? Use the move tab (is available once your account is 4 days old - until then, ask for help).
• To request a page be deleted, add {{delete|your reason}} to the top of the page.
• Was a page you made deleted? Please read the deletion policy, and check the deletion log to find out why. Also check the RFD archives if applicable. You can request undeletion at WB:RFU, or ask the administrator who deleted the page.

Goodies, tips and tricks

• Please fill in the edit summary and preview your edits before saving.
• Sign your name on discussion pages by typing ~~~~
• User scripts can make many tasks easier. Look at the Gadgets tab of my preferences; check off the boxes for the scripts you want, and hit save!

"PDF will be updated weekly to account for adjustments to section content, but section titles should not be changed without an update to the PDF."

This phrase expresses circular logic and nullifies itself. Whatever the rational you attempted to express I do not mind the reversal since I'm not actively contributing to the work, but try to provide a better argument when reversing people or you will put them off or start a conflict. Most sporadic contributors will not care to get a better explanation or be involved in a dialog.

I have made necessary changes to what is listed as Terms of Use. I'm here also expressing the objection to the use of that nomenclature on the Wikibook since Wikibooks already provides the valid Terms of Use -no problem in it being present on the PDF-, note also that in PDF of any other version for distribution outside of Wikibooks there needs to be added a copy of the GFDL -indicating the Wikibooks exceptions if the wording existing now in the section "Terms of Use" is changed- , the GFDL does not need to be explicitly included on the wiki version because it is already present at the bottom of each page. I haven't downloaded the PDF so I am only pointing out that the copy of the license text is a legal requirement for distribution outside of Wikibooks, you can chose to use only the CC-BY-SA 3.0 License that has no such requirement.

If you are planing to use complex edit requirements you should put them by writing to all editors, start page named "Edit Conventions" -or anything similar and link it into the main talk page, there is no need to include it on the PFD- and start a proposal, discussion process for those requirements or style options. See C++ Programming/Conventions as an example. Panic (discuss • contribs) 02:11, 24 February 2012 (UTC)
