Talk header on Lesotho and Bangladesh
You seem to have substituted Talk header on Bangladesh and Lesotho. Was this this a mistake? I don't think that template is meant to be substituted. Liam987 talk 15:48, 24 April 2015 (UTC)
 * Yeah, it was. Was in a rush to get this done since I had to do something else. --Atcovi (talk ↔ contribs) 21:10, 24 April 2015 (UTC)

Your books?
Can I try to lend a hand to some of them? --Fdena (discuss • contribs) 22:49, 28 September 2015 (UTC)
 * Feel free to Fdena! --Atcovi (talk ↔ contribs) 22:52, 28 September 2015 (UTC)
 * If I get something wrong or doesn't seem quite right please correct me thank you. --Fdena (discuss • contribs) 22:53, 28 September 2015 (UTC)

Follow up questions
I seem to be working on Iraq and will work on others later. I need guidance though in my editing so if you could fact check at sometime that would be very helpful thank you. --Fdena (discuss • contribs) 23:01, 28 September 2015 (UTC)

w:Wikipedia:Responding to threats of harm
Don't know if you've had occasion to email the emergency address provided on that page (the email is wikimedia-wide, after all, though the page is on Wikipedia); I've done so maybe a couple of times over the years (re activity on Wikinews), though I think those were threats of harm to others. Thought I'm mention it to you in case you hadn't encountered it, seeing the message you rv'd from featured books nominations. --Pi zero (discuss • contribs) 13:43, 7 January 2016 (UTC)
 * Oh... I thought it was a troll message. So I should contact Wikimedia about this issue? --Atcovi (Talk - Contribs) 13:52, 7 January 2016 (UTC)
 * As of now, I can't get access to email (currently at school). But I follow the precedures. --Atcovi (Talk - Contribs) 13:58, 7 January 2016 (UTC)
 * It could be a troll, certainly. I thought I'd let you know about that page, though, in case you hadn't encountered it before, so you could exercise your judgement as you encounter stuff.  --Pi zero (discuss • contribs) 14:42, 7 January 2016 (UTC)
 * Thank you for the help! --Atcovi (Talk - Contribs) 14:57, 7 January 2016 (UTC)

Configuring Wikijunior pages
Just a reminder: All Wikijunior pages should be configured to display the latest sighted page, instead of the most recent revision. I check for newly created Wikijunior pages from time to time, so just caught Wikijunior:Countries A-Z/Uruguay/Image. As an admin, you can configure those yourself: on the 'protect' tab for the page, way up at the top, is a line that'll say something like "This page has an updated stable version; page stability settings can be configured", where "configured" is a link to a page for changing the configuration. On the configuration page, the first thing is "Revision displayed on default page view"; the default is "The latest revision", for Wikijunior you select "The stable version; if not present, then the latest revision". Then down near the bottom of the configuration page, on the "Reason" menu select "Wikijunior page", and click Confirm. --Pi zero (discuss • contribs) 18:13, 9 January 2016 (UTC)

Message by Rick Stambaugh
Hello, Yes I want the page to be deleted. I decided to make it a section of the main page rather than a separate file.

Thank you
Thank you very much for your feedback on Wikibook Sinhala. I hope you will continually write your feedbacks and reviews on the talk page. -- හරිත (discuss • contribs) 15:46, 24 January 2016 (UTC)

Need a help
I need help from a html/css designer to design Wikibook Sinhala. Where can I find someone's help? -- හරිත (discuss • contribs) 03:10, 13 February 2016 (UTC)

An IP revert
Hello, admin! I wanted to let you that you reverted an IP (14.139.242.195) on my talk page. Actually, it is my college's student IP. And I wanted to see if the flags were working so I can have it in my signature. From desktop browsers, it was not possible and I tried it using a mobile. It was not vandalism and yes, that is why I used comments. acagastya  💭  04:09, 18 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Can I please see the revision I reverted Acagastya? --Atcovi (Talk - Contribs) 12:23, 18 February 2016 (UTC)
 * This https://en.wikibooks.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Acagastya&diff=next&oldid=3045530 one. (Well the student WiFi is used by 1000 and this edit could seem like vandalism, but this one was not...in case the IP suffers block) acagastya   💭  03:30, 19 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Quite some time ago... alright then! I'll let you guys deal with it then in the future! --Atcovi (Talk - Contribs) 12:21, 19 February 2016 (UTC)

Hi Atcovi, regarding this block, on wikis with active admins usually I try to perform a block as short as possible (emergency block) to be reviewed by a local admin when available. I also block the access to the talk page because the block is very short and probably I'll not watch the talk page. Regards.--Syum90 (discuss • contribs) 15:05, 23 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the clarification! --Atcovi (Talk - Contribs) 22:53, 23 February 2016 (UTC)

About the pings
Hi Atcovi ,

As you see I'm not really active at this time on Wikibooks, so if there's anything important , it would be more preferable for you to send me a request on my talk page.

Just saw a request on the Featured page today, and you've been waiting for 2 months!

Sorry for the delay anyway. It's just that I am a bit sporadic on Wikibooks now.

EDIT I would also like to know why you supported keeping the Trigonometric Identities page(see the Deleted requests page which you closed as unsuccessful). I still am puzzled with those who supported keeping it. That is to say, again another consequence of my absence!

 * Nice to see you back for a bit. I don't understand, did I request something on the Featured page (could you please link it).


 * BTW, majority supported, from my fogged remembrance... I as well... gave sometime for any other people to vote delete... after all, it had to be closed someday. --Atcovi (Talk - Contribs) 22:14, 7 March 2016 (UTC)

Annotated Republic of China Laws/Civil Code
Thanks for removing the template to delete it, but please also close the discussion at Requests for deletion, as I, not being an administrator here yet, better not do it.--Jusjih (discuss • contribs) 00:31, 30 November 2016 (UTC)

'Zcash mining GPU comparison'
Can you pls put the Zcash mining comparison back - the community needs it

Thank you very much

 * Please explain to me it's benefit being available here at Wikibooks, and what this is all about. I'm open to reasons, it is just the page seemed quite confusing and I added a query tag (which was removed later). No one cared to put in a reason/speak with me about this, so I went ahead and deleted it because it seemed quite useless to me. Again, if you decide to finally give a me an explanation of this page which seems to be in/around the scope of Wikibooks, I will be happy to restore the page! Thanks, and take care! --Atcovi (Talk - Contribs) 12:34, 8 December 2016 (UTC)

The site shows results for each graphic card and how good it is in terms of results for keeping the zcash network alive. It is similar to the specs of Bitcoin miners eg Antminer S1 S2 S7 etc It shows how efficient they are and allow users to compare the outcome of their hardware in the zcash network and if it is profitable to run it as part of the network.
 * Wouldn't it be better to put this page under a project in a whole? --Atcovi (Talk - Contribs) 03:30, 11 December 2016 (UTC)

Not sure if putting it below the zCash project would be good since each of the graphics cards can also be used to run/mine other cryptocurrencies. Therefore a seperate page that can be updated when the miningsoftware eg claymore v8 gets updated since this changes the hashrate & outcome for the user running a certain Graphics Card.

Would be really beneficial for all miners and zcash supporters to check the current outcome.

if you have an idea where to me the side to keep it I'm more then open for suggestions

 * What is Wikibooks? - "Wikibooks is for textbooks, annotated texts, instructional guides, and manuals". Do you consider your page to be one of the following listed? What is Wikiversity? - "Wikiversity is a community effort to learn and facilitate others' learning. You can use Wikiversity to find information or ask questions about a subject you need to find out more about. You can also use it to share your knowledge about a subject, and to build learning materials around that knowledge". Or do you consider your page to be around Wikiversity's scope?
 * This may not be appropriate for wikibooks, honestly, but it may work at Wikiversity. --Atcovi (Talk - Contribs) 15:40, 11 December 2016 (UTC)

I would see it as a manual - only thing it is missing is the software part eg the different software thats available to run the zcash. How about we allow the page back on and add a section that explains the differences in mining software eg claymore, silentarmy xenocat etc put in a manual how to run them and have the section below that shows the results of different hardware and software. Would that suite your requirements for a instructional guides & manual?


 * It's not my requirements, I try to comply with Wikibook's guidelines on manuals. Please take this in notice: "As a general rule, only instructional books are suitable for inclusion. Non-fictional books (as well as fictional ones) that aren't instructional aren't allowed on Wikibooks". From what you have said earlier on about this: "The site shows results for each graphic card and how good it is in terms of results for keeping the zcash network alive. It is similar to the specs of Bitcoin miners eg Antminer S1 S2 S7 etc", it seems to be just a learning resource to fit Wikiversity. But with the additional: "only thing it is missing is the software part eg the different software thats available to run the zcash. How about we allow the page back on and add a section that explains the differences in mining software eg claymore, silentarmy xenocat etc put in a manual how to run them and have the section below that shows the results of different hardware and software", it seems acceptable since you are demonstrating a manual somewhere in this project. I'm open-minded, or at least I think I am, so I'm willing to see how this goes and I believe you can turn this into a manual that is acceptable to Wikibooks and its scope. I've restored the page, and I'm hoping you act on what you have stated. --Atcovi (Talk - Contribs) 12:21, 12 December 2016 (UTC)

Thanks a lot - I'll give my best to make it suite the requirements

Demo Coding
I've just been observing, as I near completion of combing through our subject categories, on October 29 this year you deleted a page Demo Coding, that had been query'd by JackPotte on September 8. It popped up on my radar because while you deleted the book main page, that left several subpages and a book category. I suppose I'll (soon-ish) delete them as part of a deleted book; thoughts? --Pi zero (discuss • contribs) 16:20, 18 December 2016 (UTC)
 * My, I must've just woken up when I did that deletion! I've gone ahead and deleted all the pages in the existing book category. I simply forgot to delete all the other pages and I assume I was focused on the main page which was query'd. Thanks for being a great patroller around en.wikib (and the combining of subject categories, hope you finish them soon!), good to have another pair of eyes when mines don't seem to be on optimum level :-) --Atcovi (Talk - Contribs) 17:39, 18 December 2016 (UTC)
 * The redundancy of a book category is, I'm finding, quite useful for detecting anomalies. And, even without the sort of semi-automated assistance I image eventually setting up, I think I'm turning up a large fraction of all the book anomalies on the project as I rename all of the subject categories (I'm almost 95%, now; sure would be nice if I can get that phase done this year).  I've cleaned up several book-moves that went wrong; it seems to be be a very error-prone operation.  --Pi zero (discuss • contribs) 21:48, 18 December 2016 (UTC)
