Please use this page to register activity and discuss strategy with your group and with the cohort at large. You need to take care when organising discussion pages. Ensure that the page is kept tidy, and that appropriate new sections are added to ensure that discussions can be followed by users. Please ensure that you sign all contribs to discussion pages with your four tilde signature (on discussion pages only - signatures on the book pages themselves tend to make things look messy).

Hacks for Wikibook
Hi everyone, I think maybe we can collect some good advice here?

Introduction and FAQ
I have lost the link to the introduction page, but instead found this article on Wikipedia editing. This might help as FAQ for most common questions. Also look at this article for more complex mark-up questions. -- Chickpeanut (discuss • contribs) 19:33, 16 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Wow that is a very good link! I have another one to add: If you have questions about referencing on wikipedia, here is some help: Help:Referencing for beginners - SchrumpflinH (discuss • contribs) 19:28, 29 February 2016 (UTC)

Another Great Resource
I was talking to a guy on the Reading Room with a question I had about mark-up back at the beginning of this project and he linked me a Wikibook ABOUT Wikibooks! This book is full of every answer to nearly every question you can think of. There's a general "How to Edit a Wikibook" section and a more specific section on "Wiki-Markup". I've been using it constantly.

There is even a fancy page for "Advanced Techniques" and a section about adding images.

Please use it to your heart's content! Click here to access. Hfk667 (discuss • contribs) 10:33, 4 March 2016 (UTC)

Tables
As I have been asked a lot :) If you have questions how to work with tables, here is a good introduction: Help:Table -SchrumpflinH (discuss • contribs) 19:28, 29 February 2016 (UTC)

Embedded Quotes
If you want to make a quote stand out, which makes it look a lot cleaner and neater (especially if you're doing a block quote), go to THIS page! The very first line of code can be easily copied and pasted. Just make sure to change "Quoted Material" to your quote, Attribution to whoever said it, and reference to wherever you got it!

It looks like this:

"I love making quotes."

- Hannah Kogut

Then you can continue adding text and your quote stands out! Hfk667 (discuss • contribs) 09:58, 2 March 2016 (UTC)

Getting to grips with Wikipedia
I'm finally starting to understand Wikibooks thanks to these two pages (as well as the pages above). The first helps you use talk pages more effectively. the second is basically formatting for beginners which make your page so much more organized. Good luck with your chapters folks.
