Missing License[edit source]

Many of the images you have recently uploaded are missing a license. They will be deleted after August 5th if one if not applied by then. It appears it is your own personal work, so, I woud suggest adding {{pd:self}} to each image. That license realeases it into public domain. If you need further help you may contact me on my talk page.Red4tribe (talk) 14:27, 30 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I've been watching your work, and you're doing a really good job! The stuff you are writing is excellent. If you want to move pages around, rename pages, delete pages, or add new pages, please feel free to do so. The outline that I had was a bit naive and could probably use some improvement. If you need any other help (including help with your image licensing issue, discussed above) don't hesitate to ask. --Whiteknight (Page) (Talk) 18:55, 1 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Re: Image Licenses[edit source]

It's actually very easy. All the images are pages, just like pages in your book. The only difference is that they have the word "Image:" in front of them. So, you can go to "Image:Transmission line.gif" and add any information that you missed when you uploaded them. Here is a list of all images you've uploaded:

I have a bot that I can use to help fix all these problems. If you would like me to automatically fix all your images, just tell me what you want them to say and I can do it. If you would like to do it yourself, or if every image needs something different, that's fine too. --Whiteknight (Page) (Talk) 20:07, 1 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Well, it looks like Whiteknight beat me to helping you. But, maybe you're lucky, I don't have a bot so I would have had to do it manually. Red4tribe (talk) 22:16, 1 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Correlative Coding[edit source]

I removed a red link (a link to a page that doesn't yet exist, in case you've never heard that term before) to a page called "Correlative Coding" from the TOC of the Communication Systems book. It's a topic that I think might be better suited in the Data Coding Theory book instead. Let me know if you disagree, I can always put the link back if it's better where it was. --Whiteknight (Page) (Talk) 00:58, 4 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Images which contain only text[edit source]

FYI: http://en.wikibooks.org/w/index.php?title=Wikibooks:Reading_room/Assistance&diff=1247114&oldid=1247025

In general, everything is easier if we display information with text, wikitext, and LaTeX markup. In practice, I know it's difficult to translate images like these into text, especially if you already have the images in your possession, or if you aren't totally familiar with our LaTeX and Tables markup.

I would say right now not to worry about this issue. I may go through and try to replace some of these images with text, if I think I can do it accurately. I hope you don't mind if I remove and possibly delete some of these images if they can be adequately replaced. Let me know if it's a problem. Nothing is going to change drastically or quickly, however. --Whiteknight (Page) (Talk) 14:20, 6 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You're right, some kind of macro or automation or simplification for our messy tables syntax would be much appreciated. Unfortunately, no intrepid programmers have taken up the challenge yet. I might be able to put together something with javascript, but the first step would be to know what it should be and how we could make it better then it already is. Maybe that's a task that I can work on later. --Whiteknight (Page) (Talk) 16:24, 6 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Please see my latest comment at Wikibooks:Reading room/Assistance#images in mainspace pages which contain only text/formulas and if you get a chance take a look at my changes. Thanks, Jeremyb (talk) 08:11, 7 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Preview[edit source]

I would suggest you use the preview function a bit more. Making dozens of edits like this[1] in a row is clogging up the recent changes. I would also suggest that you mark your minor edits, which adding line breaks definitely are. Icewedge (talk) 23:22, 8 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
