User talk:Blacken~enwikibooks

Hello and welcome to Wikibooks!

Here are some tips to help you get started:
 * You can sign your name on Talk and vote pages using four tildes, like this: &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126;.
 * Remember to conduct any editing experiments in the sandbox.
 * If you're 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 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.

User:Blacken/C++ Concepts and Programming
I guess I'm going to have to be one of those "just edit it" people. While the existing wikibook does seem to assume a lot that a reader knows how to program already, I'm hoping to make it easier for readers not familar with programming and am always on the look out for inaccaracies with the C++ Standard. I'm not sure when you've last taken a look at the wikibook, so I invite you to take another look. Its progressed queit a bit since I've been helping out and will hopefully progress even further with more people contributing. --darklama 14:08, 12 November 2006 (UTC)


 * Replied to on your user page (as there's already a lot of C++ talk there). Ed Ropple - B l a c k e n  - (Talk | Wikipedia talk) 19:49, 12 November 2006 (UTC)


 * I've seen what you've done thats why I commented. Really I believe our aims are the same or can be the same. Wikibooks are always in progress and the C++ Programming has a bit of history, including previous mergers and renaming. It even says on the main page its aim is to teach from introductory to advance. I agree it has a medium to more advance feel to it right now, but that doesn't mean its not ment to have introductory contents for beginners as well. Personally I'd welcome any attempts to improve where it fails and make it less dry and more fun to read. I think our philosophies about teaching from what you've said are the same. I can understand though how that book can be hard to contribute to, thats part of what I've been trying to fix. Oh and I didn't start the book, I've just been trying to make it a better book. I'm also not trying to say your POV is wrong, I'm just trying to show that I believe our aims to be close enough that you may want to think about helping out an existing book. I'm curious to see/know what improvements you would make or failing that see what becomes of your book once you've put more work into it. So far it looks like it might overlap with C++ Programming. --darklama 20:26, 12 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 Blacken. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Blacken~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 23:03, 17 March 2015 (UTC)
