Page Naming Conventions
Thanks for all of you useful contributions to Wikibooks. I've just moved the contents of your new Currents article to your other one using the singular form, Current, along with redirecting the former to the latter. You don't need to create one article for each form, create only the singular form, except when only the plural is used, like with Electronics (see Wikipedia:Naming conventions for a very detailed discussion of the page naming style used by some Wikibookians). You can easily link the the plural to your singular page like this, currents yields currents, and currents yields currents (the second form is more versatile (you can put anything you like after the pipe symbol (the |), but it's a bit harder to type). Thanks again, and carry on your great work. (Donovan|Geocachernemesis|Interact) 02:18, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC) - Thanks for the information on singular and plural forms in titles. I tried to reply on the 7th, but the page was locked for maintenance.

..... I look at the list of red titles (Pages wanted, etc.) and if I can help I contribute something, but soon there won't be any left. What is the relationship between the 'pedia and the 'books? Maybe I'll try Copying/pasting from one to the other? QUITTNER, 142.150.49.171 16:24, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)


 * I'm glad you found it useful. Umm, you can copy stuff from Wikipedia, but you need to be careful to attribute you source properly. That is, you should copy the history of the Wikipedia article to the talk page of the article you are creating or adding to. It's also a good idea to make a link back to Wikipedia, for example you get the box below:


 * Maybe, instead of cutting and pasting, you could add to or create an article in an area that you are interested in. But, don't feel that you have to rush ahead to create articles, you can simply read through what others have done and how they formatted it, that will help you do a good job when you do contribute. Good luck. (Donovan|Geocachernemesis|Interact) 01:20, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)
