Reverting page move vandalism
The way to revert page-move vandalism is to move the page back to its original name, not to copy &paste the original page onto the new one. '''Copy&paste "moves" are bad. Don't do them.''' Unfortunately, you've stopped other people from fixing the vandalism properly, and now we have to wait for an administrator to delete the new page so that Ass Pus in Progress can be moved back to its original location. Please don't do that again. Uncle G 09:26, 24 Apr 2005 (UTC)


 * It's not so bad. The deletion is done, and the page moved. Gentgeen 09:47, 24 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Wikiversity School of Music
Please see my comments on the [Wikiversity:School of Music] page. While the content you've created is good, it does not belong within the SOM namespace, it is a textbook you've written, not a Wikiversity section. Jamesbooker

Moving vs Removing
Hi, You just removed global configuration. maybe better idea could be to move to better place? --AndriuZ 23:54, 27 Jun 2005 (UTC)


 * Hi,


 * I removed it as it wasnt a part of the installation. I am sorry if that might seemed harsh, i don't want to scare away contributors, so thanks for contacting me! I have added an article for the global configuration under the miscellaneous chapter, and a new configuration-category. *A link to the article.


 * Please feel free to do more contributions - and i will try to take it to the discussion page before simply deleting stuff.. =)

 * Hi, I have nothing against discussions, but time is passing :-) The same was my first idea Category:mambo open source, but it is too long for inserting... so then I reconsidered when did 2 levels of Categories, see :
 * -, - only for first Article Mambo Open Source
 * - - for all other articles...
 * Let's move this discussion to Mambo page? --AndriuZ 14:13, 28 Jun 2005 (UTC)


 * All this sound very good to me! Are you planning to write some content in this book too? I would very much like that, you'd be the first one besides me to acualt write an article here - all edits in this book that i didn't do so far were corrections of typos (exept from some additions in the resources-page).

book rating.
Ok, it's new and not widely used but there is a template to rate the books: and. Important - in the dynamic wiki environment - is the date when the rating was issued.

Explanation
In the beginning the rating of pages was just done by a small icon (you know 0%.png, 25%.png) etc. pp. and most pages are still rated this way.

However it is suggested that any new rating is done with the templates above. This templates also show the date when the rating was done.

See Help:Development_stages for more details on how to rate a book.

What should we do?
I am aware of this new system, as I just implented it into the norwegian wikibooks. But i had no idea it was new! Anyway, should I just go ahead and use those templates? And rate it to 50%?

Yes
Shure, i.E. I changed all ratings for Programming:Ada - at least when I found them.

It's done
Fixed the rating of the mambo open source book in the it-bookshelf template. --August 14:26, 30 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Gambling to a Million

 * There are other one-page wikibooks, like How to Tie a Tie; furthermore, is the Jokebook really educational? Charlie123 5 July 2005 16:27 (UTC)


 * Well, i think that books like how to tie a tie and gambling to a million really should go away and be deleted - they are small and un needed, and as you can see, both have now been removed. None of those could have been called a book, ad it was one page only. If you had created a book, and started on a book, that could expand and be contributed to, and not a single page, chances are that no one would have deleted it. But one page only books, that you actually claimed to be 100% complete, has nothing in the wikibooks to do.


 * Actually, I urge you to create a book about gambling that is a book, and not one page. If you do that, i will support it. I agree that a book about gambling, and the jokebook are not for educational puspouses, but as long as they are used and contributed to i find them very useful to have at the wikibooks.

Table of contents
see answer moved to Talk:Mambo Open Source/Table of contents

discuss things before doing them

 * on subject : discuss things before doing them - I fully agree for big rearengements (if we will agree a time for responce, for example 3 days?), but for the other things - its really takes less time to make improvement without discussion. You and me could easily track changes... and revert if really don't like --AndriuZ 13:58, 11 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Hi, I did translation about some guy impression, see User:AndriuZ/SandboxMamboMambo4.5.3 --AndriuZ 20:54, 11 July 2005 (UTC)

Images
As you can see at the top of this page, "All unlicensed images uploaded to wikibooks before November 1, 2006 will soon be deleted." You have uploaded images and some of them are untagged. You can see them here. Please review them and add appropriate tags. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me. --Think Fast 04:37, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called August. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name August~enwikibooks that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 23:00, 17 March 2015 (UTC)
