About translation
What is the right process to translate the Adventist Adventurer Awards book to Spanish language?

Thank you --Adalvis (talk) 00:53, 11 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Not sure. This would be a good question for the Reading room.  You probably have to set it up on es.wikibooks.org. --Jomegat (talk) 01:13, 11 May 2010 (UTC)

Great to Have You Here!
Hi!

As the main editor of Adventist Youth Honors Answer Book I am so pleased to see a similar work for the Adventurers! If you have any questions about Wikibooks or how I have structured the Pathfinder stuff, please do not hesitate to ask. I hope you enjoy your time here as much as I have! --Jomegat (talk) 00:28, 4 May 2010 (UTC)

''Thank you for your welcome. Is a pleasure to say that I took this idea from you, and I’m willing to put my best to help the Adventurer Instructors in their job. Is not that easy find help for the little ones and since I enjoy working with them what a better way that share what we have? I will take your word and I’ll be calling on your help very often. Thank you again.'' --Adalvis (talk) 01:32, 4 May 2010 (UTC)


 * Please do! I check this site several times a day, so you shouldn't have to wait very long. --Jomegat (talk) 02:31, 4 May 2010 (UTC)

Well I'm taking you at your word and here I am.... Which is the proper way to link one word to other? let me explain myself.... I have Bible II Award and the prerequisite is Bible I How do I links Bible I in the Bible II award? Here is the link: http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Adventist_Adventurer_Awards/Bible_II Thank you for your answer

--Adalvis (talk) 23:42, 6 May 2010 (UTC)--Adalvis (talk) 19:19, 6 May 2010 (UTC)
 * I added a link for you so you can see how it's done. We could get more fancy by adding templates, which would probably be a good idea.  The top of the AY honors each uses Template:honor header to add that banner on the top. It also adds a link to the advanced honor, but that can't work the same way for Adventurers (since they use roman numerals, vs tacking on " - Advanced" to the end of the standard name.  If you want, I'll try to work up a template for you.  Another thing you should do is use use section headings instead of tags.  That's done by surrounding the heading with two, three, or more equal signs, a la ==Heading== .  It should also be on a line by itself, and it's important the the number of equal signs be the same on both ends though, or it will break.  Using headings like this will cause the wiki software to automatically create a table of contents.  You might want to look over the Using Wikibooks stuff - it's filled with great information. --Jomegat (talk) 21:58, 6 May 2010 (UTC)


 * OK, I made a few more changes. I created a template so you can call out prerequisites the same way every time and it will have a consistent look.  If you don't like the way it looks, we can tweak it to your hearts content.  I am not here to dictate how your book should look, so don't hesitate to undo anything I have suggested.  Really.  Also, I slapped the Bible verse template in there for one of them.  If you like it, you can do the same to the other verse in that chapter.  Otherwise, undo!  And... I threw the headers in there too.  Again, undo it if you liked it the way it was.  --Jomegat (talk) 22:15, 6 May 2010 (UTC)

''I see all changes you did. Thanks I think I finally got it, I did the same for the other awards I have.... About templates.... I have do nothing because I'm still trying to understand the basics.... But I would appreciate if you work something easy for me... I'm a fast learner so I hope by the end of next week I know more new things... Question... Did you have to ask for permition to use the PF logo? I want to re-do the Adventurer in Photoshop but I'm not sure about copyrights' Thanks again --Adalvis (talk) 23:42, 6 May 2010 (UTC)


 * The AYHAB book's cover (or logo) was created by one of the guys at Pathfinders Online. We figured it would be OK to use the logo under the fair use doctrine.  WB does allow fairuse images, but they have to be uploaded by an admin and they require a justification.  Luckily, I am an admin, so if you send me an image, I can get it on the server.  By default, image uploads go to the Commons which does not accept fair use media.  The reason for that was so that the only images we host at WB would be those that they won't accept at the Commons.


 * The GC allows use of all insignia as long as it's in conjunction with an Adventist ministry. Our use definitely falls under that umbrella, but the Commons won't host something with that sort of restriction on it.  So we didn't have to ask the GC's permission, and we were able to host it here under fair use.  I think everyone is happy.


 * Templates can get insanely complex. When you have a logo, I'll try to work something up.  The thing I like about templates is that it decouples the presentation of information from the information itself.  That allows you to tweak the template and change the layout of everything that uses the template without having to go back and edit everything that uses the template (unless the template parameters change).  In my header template, I provide the skill level, year of introduction, and approving authority (i.e., GC, NAD).  The rest is automatic.  Think about what kinds of things you'd like in your header, and I'll try to make it happen. --Jomegat (talk) 01:24, 7 May 2010 (UTC)

Thank you for all the information... I think I'm more clear about what to do now. I will work in the book's cover and as soon as I have it I'll let you know and at the same time I will be thinking about the info for the book presentation. Thanks again --Adalvis (talk) 01:43, 7 May 2010 (UTC)

What is the Bible
I guess you noticed that your "What is the Bible" pdf over on the Commons has been nominated for deletion. I thought that might happen to it. Did you create that yourself? I think it would be better to just transcribe the info from the PDF into your chapter instead of linking to it. That way everything is all in one place (and I think that just makes it better). --Jomegat (talk) 00:57, 10 May 2010 (UTC)

''Thank you for let me know... I will do the change right now. It's a lot of staff I have to pay attention. That document is from other website I just link it to my information.

I have a question about header... How can I do the header for the different classes? I copy and paste form Bible II which is Helping Hand award to another awards in other classes (Bible I - Busy Bee class) and the category is broken... I don't know how to fix it. thank you''--Adalvis (talk) 01:53, 10 May 2010 (UTC)


 * If you don't own the copyright to a document, or if you don't have permission to upload it, you really shouldn't upload it at all. It would be better to link to it wherever you found it.  As for the Busy Bee header in Bible I, it doesn't look broken to me - but the category hasn't been created.  Click on the Helping Hand category in Bible II, edit it, and type ctrl-C to get it into your copy buffer.  Then click on the Busy Bee category in Bible I and paste it in with ctrl-V.  Then edit it to say whatever you want it to say.  It will then show links to every HH award that uses the header.  Better to tell you how to do it than do it for you.  Keep up the good work! --Jomegat (talk) 04:04, 10 May 2010 (UTC)

''Thank you, thank you, and thank you again... I follow your explanation and is working properly''--Adalvis (talk) 16:17, 10 May 2010 (UTC)

Help with Adventurer logo
I did a logo for Adv, but I'm not sure if ok to used it. here is the picture so you may tell me if I will have any problems. The art work is mine but I use Jesus with the children and I could not find the licence anywhere. So please I need your help in this matter. Thanks --Adalvis (talk) 18:16, 11 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Usually if you can't find the licence, it's not usable. They want positive proof at the Commons.  If you like, I could talk to User:Jazzmanian - he's an excellent graphic designer capable of producing original work.  He did the AYHAB logo as well as most of the fires in Fire Building & Camp Cookery.  He is also well-versed in licensing.  He doesn't come to WB much anymore, but I have his email address.  --Jomegat (talk) 19:54, 11 May 2010 (UTC)

Please do it. I just want something similar tho what I have now. One item per class and also I want the face of Jesus. I really appreciate all your help --Adalvis (talk) 20:02, 11 May 2010 (UTC)


 * I sent him an email pointing him to this page. Hopefully, we'll hear from him soon. --Jomegat (talk) 00:05, 12 May 2010 (UTC)


 * Hi. I received the email. It would be an exaggeration to say that I am "well versed" in licensing. I have found the following links. the Pathfinder Logo is in use on Wikipedia, under the terms found in the Logos usage page. I'll ponder the idea and see if inspiration strikes. By the way, when you say "logo" in this context, are you looking for a "book cover"? I get the feeling you are looking to create a book cover for this book. I really wish the folks who had invented Little Lambs, and Eager Beavers, had not made the pins/logos in such a vastly different style than the original logos. It will be hard to "design" the six of them into a style. --Gerald (talk) 21:24, 8 June 2010 (UTC)

Duplicate page
Adventist Adventurer Awards/Evangelism Award appears to be an old version duplicate of Adventist Adventurer Awards/Adventurer's Evangelism Patch - was the first just meant to be moved to the second? If so I'll put it up for a speedy delete as part of my cleanup tasks. Pages can be moved more 'cleanly' by using the Move feature (if it doesn't appear for you, your account probably isn't established enough, but someone at Reading room/Administrative Assistance can do it for you in that case). Thanks for contributing! Xerol Oplan (talk) 04:40, 25 May 2010 (UTC)

Copyrights
Hi,

I was just looking at the story you copied from DLTK about Ruth and Naomi. You really need to get permission from them before you can use it here, and then that will have to be verified through OTRS (Wikimedia's copyright verification people). I'll get you a link if necessary. The reason I'm concerned is because though there is no copyright notice on the page from which the story comes, there is one at http://www.dltk-kids.com/ - we have to be very careful about these things, or it could jeopardize the entire Wikibooks project. I haven't looked through all of your other material, so you might want to go through it thinking about copyright as you do.

I was also concerned about the images you uploaded citing AdventSource as the author. You can't just put a new license on their files. I know that at one point, at least the Pathfinder images were free to use for Pathfinder ministries which is how I would have been using them. But those terms are not acceptable to Wikimedia, so they would not allow them on their servers if they knew. They require that images be free to use for any purpose (including commercial). You might have to remove them.

I have been working with the NAD for a year now to get a wiki set up on their servers where we can host their images with our content. It has been slow going, and hopefully it will come online soon. If you wish to continue using their images, you might consider moving development of the Adventurer Awards answers there (when it comes online). But please don't stop development thinking the NAD server will be available soon. As I said, I've been working on them for a year.

Thanks! --Jomegat (discuss • contribs) 14:42, 24 May 2012 (UTC)

Thank you for let me know. Until we get the approval for NAD and Brad from AdventSource, I will keep the other logos that I have before. About the story from dltk, I posted the story and also the link but, I can post just the link to avoid problems. Since I posted a few other stories the same way,I have to edit all of them. Thank you for your help. --Adalvis (talk) 23:42, 24 May 2012 (UTC)


 * You're welcome. I'm very happy to see someone taking up the Adventurer Wiki cause.  Thanks for all the work you're doing there. --Jomegat (discuss • contribs) 20:23, 24 May 2012 (UTC)

Woody Lamb?
Should that be Woody Lamb, or Wooly Lamb? --Jomegat (discuss • contribs) 17:51, 29 May 2012 (UTC)

Answer

I'll check. It is Wooly Lamb --Adalvis (talk)

How to fix the problem?
I tried to fix the problem but while editing the name I broke the the link. This is not the first time it happens to me and I don't know how to fix it. Thank you for your help --Adalvis (talk)
 * It's as simple as moving the page. When you're on the pag, there should be a "move" tab along the top somewhere.  If you don't see it, look for the "down" triangle.  --Jomegat (discuss • contribs) 23:14, 29 May 2012 (UTC)

Thank you so much. It worked! :) --Adalvis (talk) 09:24, 29 May 2012 (UTC)

Missing awards in the foot index
OK I have another question. I'm missing some awards in the foot index. I can see them in the front cover and the link is OK but I cannot see them in the footer. One example of this is the award "Acts of Kindness" for Sunbeam and "Saving Animals" for Builder. Also I have a problem with one link, it doesn't show in my awards links. The Award name is "Seeds" and it should be in the Sunbeam class, but for some reason is not there. Here is the link of the award page: https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Adventist_Adventurer_Awards/Seeds#Sing_a_song_bout_seeds --Adalvis (discuss • contribs) 04:52, 20 Sep 2013 (UTC)
