On 4chan Chronicle
Hello,

I am sorry for the treatment you received from 46.254.186.36 over "4chan Chronicle". I believe 46.254.186.36 is misrepresenting the community stance. If you still feel like developing the book here at Wikibooks, I will join Panic2k4 in opposing the deletion.

 * Thanks for your tip, I didn't know that there was more to to the story. Yes, I really do feel like improving the book over here at Wikibooks, it's a great framework for producing community generated material. The book is truthfully a bit of a draft, collaboratively written by many anons and sourced from what we could find, which I then put together here for my colleagues or other readers to rectify or elaborate. Naturally, due to the dearth of reliable sources from the early days (such as archived threads) and the use of secondary sources written five or ten years after the event, the people who were actually there may have a different angle. I will also start drawing some well-sourced material from my colleague's 4chan.docx, which this Wikibook was actually meant to provide a public viewable version of. I can feel that 46.254.186.36 has some good points, so I will take that into consideration when improving this book (there are no pages yet anyway).

 * I've made a few changes to the text and will try to do some more soon. Don't feel that you have to rush into this despite the deletion request. To paraphrase an old saying, "Wikimedia wasn't built in one day". Some pointers that I think are useful: try to write in a formal tone, so avoid "you" and "I" and similar words; the main page should aim to have perhaps an introduction and a list of chapters; try to use the URL template to format external links; consider creating a local manual of style; consider which style of referencing you want to use (e.g. Harvard) and whether you want inline citations and/or a separate "Bibliography" page; most importantly, ask for help as often as possible (pick the brains of more experienced users), even if you feel you can manage alone. It is always good to collaborate on this sort of project. Green Giant (discuss • contribs) 16:31, 3 September 2015 (UTC)


 * Thanks. I'm starting get the feeling in all of my projects that it would be more beneficial to work together, if I can find such people at least. I'm a technical writer by trade, and have only worked on informal wikis, so I'll definitely look into a more formal tone. I'll also call up the creator of the 4chan.doc and try to collaboratively merge his work in, that report is much more professional and conservative.
