User talk:Artyboats

Hello, and welcome to Wikibooks!

Here are some tips to help you get started:
 * To learn the wiki-markup-language syntax, see Help:Editing.
 * You should sign your name on Talk and vote pages using four tildes, like this: &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126;
 * There is a box at the top of the edit window that will insert this, too; it looks like part of a signature.
 * Remember to conduct any editing experiments in the sandbox.
 * You can tell the community something about yourself in your userpage.
 * You can get to this page by clicking the tab at the top of the page labeled with your registered username.
 * If you are a Wikipedian, see Wikibooks for Wikipedians for a primer on how things work here (it's a little different).
 * If you want to base your work here on materials from Wikipedia, please use WB:RFI (requests for importation) to bring the material over in compliance with the GFDL.
 * If you're an instructor and plan on using Wikibooks for a class project, see Guidelines for class projects
 * Please say hello at the Staff Lounge with any questions or ideas.
 * Eventually, you might want to read the Manual of Style and Policies and Guidelines.
 * Please take a look at Naming policy before starting a new book.
 * Remember to maintain a Neutral point of view.
 * Explore, be bold in editing pages, and have fun!

You will find more resources in Community Portal. If you want to ask a question, visit the Study help desk, the Staff lounge, IRC channel or ask me personally on my talk page. For site news, see the Bulletin board. It might be a good idea to add this page to your "watchlist" so that you can see when any new information is posted there. You can do that by clicking the tab labeled "watch" at the top of the page.

Good luck! -- Herby talk thyme 07:04, 7 April 2007 (UTC)

Naming policy
Hi, I noticed you recently created a few pages for your Nighthawk guide. If you've come from Wikipedia or are new to wikis in general, here at Wikibooks we use a nested naming scheme. All pages inside a book are made within that book using slash convention. I moved your pages (as you will see) to be within the book. Please see the linked policy above which should be able to answer any questions you have about how we create pages here. Reply on my talk page if you have any further issues. Thanks. -within focus 17:15, 8 April 2007 (UTC) Thanks for the help.. New on here for about a week. See the changes you have made and the Catagory edit .Appreciate the help Rob


 * Hi Rob - can you give me some specific examples - can't see any real problems at a quick glance but I will happily help if I can - cheers -- Herby talk thyme 15:42, 13 April 2007 (UTC)


 * Aaaah I see. Ok firstly a minor point, new talk page postings always go at bottom of the page - hardly vital but it does make it easier to see the relevant posting when you get the orange bar!


 * Yes I see what you mean - the automatic use of # (or ## for sub heads) is good as it would allow you to restructure the book at any stage without then changing the page names (although you will need to do it first off). In a sense it is your call as you are the major contributor to the book and I don't see it as highly important.  However longer term it may be easier to have pages that are not numbered so that they can be moved on the title page without looking strange.


 * If you want to do it there is no need to loose anything. Just use the "move" button and create the new name for the page.  This would mean for example that Honda Nighthawk Owners Repair and Maintenance Guide/1 Guidelines for contributors would become Honda Nighthawk Owners Repair and Maintenance Guide/Guidelines for contributors say (if you do this move the link will no longer be red!).  The front page can then be changed to
 * /Guidelines for contributors/
 * If you then want to change the order you can do so without changing the page names. Hope this helps, you know where I am if you want me - regards -- Herby  talk thyme 12:17, 14 April 2007 (UTC)

 * Hi Rob, All you need to do is signify with a copyright tag, the license that you want to release your image with. (PD, GFDL, CC, BSD, etc.) Then add it to the image's page and remove the no license tag. = ) --Az1568(Talk) 18:32, 15 April 2007 (UTC)

Re: Technology bookshelf
I added your book to the bookshelf, and I don't think it matters what category it's in, as long as it's in a motorbike/motorcycle related category it should be fine. --Az1568(Talk) 06:11, 17 April 2007 (UTC)
