Welcome message
Hello, and welcome to Wikibooks!

Here are some tips to help you get started:
 * To learn the wiki-markup-language syntax, see Help:Editing.
 * Make sure to sign your posts and comments with four tildes, like this: &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126;
 * There is a box at the top of the edit window (if javascript is enabled on your browser) that will insert it too (looks like part of a signature). This will let others know who left it, and make it easy to reply back to you.
 * Remember to conduct any editing experiments in the sandbox (global to the system) or in a page on your own userspace.
 * Remember to use Commons project for image uploading.
 * You can tell the community something about yourself in your userpage.
 * You can get to this page by clicking the tab at the top of the page labeled with your registered username.
 * Wikibooks are open-source textbooks. (What is Wikibooks).
 * If you are 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.
 * If you're an instructor and plan on using Wikibooks for a class project, see Guidelines for class projects
 * Please say hello at the Reading Room with any questions or ideas.
 * Eventually, you might want to read the Manual of Style and Policies and Guidelines.
 * Help us by participating in policy and guideline creation.
 * Please take a look at Naming policy before starting a new book.
 * Remember to keep a Neutral point of view.
 * Explore, be bold in editing pages, and have fun!

You will find more resources in Community Portal. If you have questions, visit the Study help desk, the Reading Room, IRC channel or ask me personally on my talk page. For site news, see the Bulletin board. It might be a good idea to add that page to your "watchlist" so that you can see when any new information is posted there. You can do that by clicking the tab labeled "watch" at the top of the page.

(This is not an automated message, I'll be watching during a time for any reply you make to it...)

Good luck! --Panic (talk) 15:34, 10 August 2010 (UTC)

WikiProject Mathematics
Noticed that you were editing Trigonometry a bit and I thought you might want to know about the mathematics wikiproject. If you have any questions that related to putting mathematics on a wiki you can ask there (or ask me if you prefer). Thenub314 (talk) 19:16, 26 August 2010 (UTC)

Orphaning
Please understand that removing links to a page is not a deletion of that page. You must request deletion with delete with valid rationale. Removing links to a page will be discovered as pages with no links get added to a maintenance list. At that time removal of links will be reversed. I have merged the page you delinked into another book, but it is not proper etiquette to simply "orphan" a page that you dislike. Just a friendly notice. – Adrignola talk 13:45, 2 September 2010 (UTC)


 * Sorry about the breach of etiquette. Thanks for letting me know.  Douglas W. Mitchell (talk) 16:50, 2 September 2010 (UTC)
