Wecome!

I put some ideas about how to use the paper at your request for a good location at Wikibooks staff lounge. Maybe we can get an initial standard tree in the namespace proposed/specified/requested by our hosting Wikibookean community while we wait for our own URL root so we can devise our own better specialized local tailoring. If they (WikiXXXeans, Board, etc.) give you any useful information regarding this please put a pointer on my talk page. Some other Wikiversity people do not really care how we get started as long as we have freedom to evolve improvements sooner or later. Lazyquasar 11:51, 11 March 2006 (UTC)

Policy

Thanks for the head's up. I was actually in the middle of reading and commenting on your suggestions in staff lounge when you left me the message. I'll finish my comments! --Whiteknight(talk) (projects) 12:07, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

Since you seem to be interested in policy as well, I would like to mention that we are doing some major discussions for the new "General Voting Rules" policy proposal, and you are certainly welcome to read through the proposed policy, and to give some feedback. Once we get an official voting policy in place (can you believe we've gone all this time without one?), we will have a solid foundation for preparing other policies. --Whiteknight(talk) (projects) 14:41, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

Writing lessons

Hello,

thanks for the nice feedback on my "Bite-sized language lessons" proposal. I'm presently working on writing lessons that follow the same principle of step-by-step learning rather than trying to cramp everything into the student's head at once. You can see sample lessons for the Modern Greek script. I believe this approach would also work out well for Thai and take away a major stumbling block for people interested in learning Thai but afraid of learning a new alphabet. If you'd like to try it, make a page similar to Modern Greek/Writing lessons plan listing as many suitable words and names as you can think of and their transliteration and inform me. I'll gladly help you by finding a good order to introduce letters and starting to write the lessons. Deal?

Your account will be renamed

Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Singkong2005. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Singkong2005~enwikibooks that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours,
Keegan Peterzell
