ethnomedicine
Hey if you are interested in ethnomedicine, there is a really messy book on that topic that I had students create a few years ago and any changes you would like to make to it would be welcome. YakbutterT (talk) 12:34, 29 September 2009 (UTC)

German wikibook
Hi there and good luck with the German wikibook. :)

Well, part of the problem is that at some point a couple of years ago, it was in quite good shape (apart from missing audio recordings and missing collapsible boxes which were all implemented by hyperlinks). Then some people had some ideas, moved pages around, messed things up, others contributed without really understanding the ideas, and of course nothing got finished. Thus, when I started to look at it last year, most of the content wasn't even accessible from the table of contents. What motivated me to work on the German book was a) that no one else worked on it and b) that there were quite a few audio recordings (which are really useful in my opinion; the lack of them is a major reason why so many language learning wikibooks are close to useless). Of course, I also didn't have enough time but at least all the content is now available again, the first few lessons include the audio recordings, more or less complete vocabulary lists and collapsible boxes for the problems and tests. These first lessons might give you an idea of how the rest of the book (at least the rest of level I) could be formatted.

In my experience the best way to work on a wikibook is alone without having to discuss anything. Otherwise there are just too many endless discussions that paralyze the development of the book. (Remind me of that when I start such a discussion! ;) Thus, I consider the book yours, feel free to change anything. I'll be happy to correct typos and give advice on the German and might also be able to contribute some audio recordings (if I find the time to do them).

I'll comment on your comments on your user page. Let me know if I should comment here. --Martin Kraus (discuss • contribs) 11:12, 22 January 2011 (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 Danthemango. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Danthemango~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 23:07, 17 March 2015 (UTC)
