New books
You recently created Section 1 and Section 1 Computer Based Information Systems For Learning, Management & Administration. Should these be parts of books? If so, please see our Naming policy (also linked to in the welcome message above). --Swift (talk) 05:43, 17 March 2009 (UTC)

 * Great. Add this to the file description page. --Swift (talk) 19:40, 17 April 2009 (UTC)

Re: your email
Thanks for the email. It is often better to use the talk pages since there are many other contributors to the project. --Swift (talk) 21:36, 17 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Thanks for responding and I would love to add that to the edit page, if i only knew how. I am so new to this whole process and i'm not even sure how i did that, let alone try to add something somewhere and i hope this is talk...hmmmm...smile


 * ccobbs


 * I think i did it, could you check and let me know if you see it where you know it should be..smile if not, i'll try again....lol


 * Your change looks good. By the way, I deleted the web-size version of File:Chapter 3 Sandbox CMAP-2.jpg because the MediaWiki software (the wiki software that Wikibooks runs) automatically resizes images.
 * You may want to quickly read through the welcome message at the top of this page (which, yes, is your talk page). We've tried to gather some important information and tips for new Wikibookians. For more information see Help:Contents (this is conveniently linked to from the "navigation" bar, just below the icon).
 * For anything not covered there, please feel free to ask me or head over to the assistance reading room (or any of the other Reading rooms, depending on the topic. Happy editing! --Swift (talk) 03:36, 18 April 2009 (UTC)

Uploading over existing files
Please take extra care not to upload new images over existing ones that are used in different books. Your recent upload to the filename File:Diagram.pdf overwrote a completely different file used in a completely different context. I caught it in time and have reverted to the earlier version, but it could have caused problems for readers of that other book. Please be careful in the future. --Swift (talk) 15:08, 1 May 2009 (UTC)
