Welcome to Wikibooks, Ccobbs!
First steps tutorial

Wikibooks is for freely-licensed collaboratively-developed textbooks.
You don't need technical skills in order to contribute here. Be bold contributing and assume good faith about the intentions of others. Remember, this is a wiki, so you're allowed to change just about anything, and changes can be made easily. Come introduce yourself to everyone, and let us know what interests you.

If you're coming here from other Wikimedia projects, you should read our primer for Wikimedians to get quickly up-to-speed.

Getting help
  • See the Wikibooks help pages for common issues.
  • Remember, every edit is saved, so if you make mistakes, you can revert to an earlier version if needed.
  • Get help from the community in the Reading room or in our IRC channel.
  • You cannot upload an image until you have been a member for at least 4 days. If your upload is tagged with {{nld}}, {{bfu}}, or {{nfur}}, please read the template message as it explains the violation of our media policy. Please be sure to provide the required {{information}}: a license tag and source citation are always required; fair use images require a {{fair use rationale}}. Get help in the user assistance room.
Goodies, tips and tricks
  • Please fill in the edit summary and preview your edits before saving.
  • Sign your name on discussion pages by typing ~~~~
  • Please make sure you follow our naming policy - modules should be named like Book Title/Chapter Title.
  • 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!
Made a mistake?
  • Need to rename a page? Use the move tab (only become available once your account is 4 days old - until then, ask for help).
  • To get a page deleted, add {{delete|your reason for requesting deletion}} to the top of the page.
  • If something you wrote was deleted, please read the deletion policy, and check the deletion log to find out why. Also check the VFD archives if applicable. You can request undeletion at WB:VFU, or ask the administrator who deleted the page.
(P.S. Would you like to provide feedback on this message?)

New books[edit source]

You recently created Section 1 and Section 1 Computer Based Information Systems For Learning, Management & Administration. Should these be parts of books? If so, please see our Naming policy (also linked to in the welcome message above). --Swift (talk) 05:43, 17 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Copyright problems with File:Femaleteacher.jpeg[edit source]

This message box is using an invalid "type=warning" parameter and needs fixing.

The same applies to File:Teacher with computers.jpeg These files needs information about the author/source, and a permission from the identifiable persons depicted as they are taken in a situation where they can expect privacy. --Swift (talk) 03:30, 17 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Non-free usage rationale for [[{{{book}}}]]

Not free because:

Femaleteacher.jpeg & Teacher with computers.jpeg add character to the book and provide examples for the text.

Required because:

Without the images, there was a huge white image that said SAMPLE and it took away the value of the book

See Wikibooks:Media for fair use requirements. The above is insufficient. Being plain does not render anything useless. --Swift (talk) 19:40, 17 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Great. Add this to the file description page. --Swift (talk) 19:40, 17 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Re: your email[edit source]

Thanks for the email. It is often better to use the talk pages since there are many other contributors to the project. --Swift (talk) 21:36, 17 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for responding and I would love to add that to the edit page, if i only knew how. I am so new to this whole process and i'm not even sure how i did that, let alone try to add something somewhere and i hope this is talk...hmmmm...smile
ccobbs
I think i did it, could you check and let me know if you see it where you know it should be..smile if not, i'll try again....lol
Your change looks good. By the way, I deleted the web-size version of File:Chapter 3 Sandbox CMAP-2.jpg because the MediaWiki software (the wiki software that Wikibooks runs) automatically resizes images.
You may want to quickly read through the welcome message at the top of this page (which, yes, is your talk page). We've tried to gather some important information and tips for new Wikibookians. For more information see Help:Contents (this is conveniently linked to from the "navigation" bar, just below the icon).
For anything not covered there, please feel free to ask me or head over to the assistance reading room (or any of the other Reading rooms, depending on the topic. Happy editing! --Swift (talk) 03:36, 18 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Uploading over existing files[edit source]

Please take extra care not to upload new images over existing ones that are used in different books. Your recent upload to the filename File:Diagram.pdf overwrote a completely different file used in a completely different context. I caught it in time and have reverted to the earlier version, but it could have caused problems for readers of that other book. Please be careful in the future. --Swift (talk) 15:08, 1 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
