Greetings
Greetings, Elaragirl, Dark Queen of the Deletionist Cabal against Kittens, Stubs, Hope, and Inclusionists. I am familiar with your goings-on at Wikipedia, and have come to say "Hi!" and "Welcome to Wikibooks!" --Iamunknown 22:44, 20 December 2006 (UTC)

Hi Elaragirl!
Yes, I remember you... was pleased to see the new account on the RC feed :). Sorry if you're having a hard time on wp: the politics can get overwhelming there, for me it's just a matter of knowing when to ignore the politics (and to hit the ignore button before I'm fried with them).

That's a totally appropriate subject... actually there's a book on abnormal psych being written, I'll try to track it down. But if you have notes to start posting up, just go ahead and start... page and book merges are common on wikibooks. If you add the book title to Template:New, it will be noticed, and if a merge is needed someone will get in touch.

Let me or someone else know if you want wikipedia articles imported to include in the book... it's often nice not to have to start "from scratch. -- SB_Johnny | talk 23:17, 20 December 2006 (UTC)


 * I couldn't help but read your message to User:SBJohnny, and I wanted to donate my two cents to the conversation (for what little they are worth). If your book is on abnormal sexual psych, I would say that's sufficiently different from the current abnormal psych to avoid being merged. We are always looking for more knowledgible, intellegent, educated people to help write books here, and I can guarantee that the atmosphere is much more laid-back then it is at WP. Welcome to wikibooks (i love your talk page!) and if you have any other questions, there are plenty of people here to ask. --Whiteknight (talk) (projects) 15:09, 21 December 2006 (UTC)

Come introduce yourself at the new users page. If you have any questions, you can ask there or contact me personally. -- SB_Johnny | talk 23:17, 20 December 2006 (UTC)

Wikibooks Newsletter, Volume 1
(Wikibooks gazette home | Discuss | Bulletin board | Subscription list)

This is a short newsletter that is being distributed to all active wikibookians. You are getting this message because you are recognized as an established contributor to the project. This newsletter will be distributed on a regular basis to help share news, information, and tips. It comes from a bot account, User:The Staff. User:The Staff is currently operated by a team of wikibooks admins, the complete list of which is available on the user page of the bot. If you would like to not receive this newletter anymore, please remove your name from the list at Active wikibookians.

The work you do at Wikibooks is greatly appreciated. However there are plenty of other opportunities for you to get involved and help us to create a thriving Wikibooks community. We are sure that there are things we can do to help you and your understanding of Wikibooks and similarly there are certainly things you could do to help Wikibooks become a better place.

We would like to ask all wikibookians to add the Bulletin Board to your watchlists. The Bulletin Board is a fast and easy way for wikibookians to communicate important news and events to the entire community. If you have important news to share with the community, you can feel free to add your own entry to that page.

If you have general questions or comments about Wikibooks, you are welcome to post a message on The Staff Lounge, a free discussion area. Your input would also be welcomed in the Votes for Deletion and Requests for Adminship discussion pages. These pages are all active discussion areas that help to shape the Wikibooks community as a whole.

Sometimes it is easy to forget that the Wikibooks community is much larger and more diverse than the people who work in a single book, or on a single bookshelf. Hopefully, together we can all make Wikibooks a better place, and a more valuable educational resource.

User page new header!
I have to say I like that (& long may it stay that way) - regards -- Herby talk thyme 18:30, 21 December 2006 (UTC)

I like it too. I was a deletionist at Wikipedia, but I've quickly come to realise that I am not here, and that there is little need for deletionism. I like it that way. :) --Iamunknown 21:05, 21 December 2006 (UTC)


 * Long may the grin last. I guess I arrived as a peeved deletionist but I'm getting better.  I still a bit prejudiced about crap pages tho.  In the end I guess WP just didn't suit me (twice! - the current one and a previous one so your name was familiar) WB does.  It is mildly frustrating at times but there's a good bunch here which helps a lot and its waay more laid back.  Would it bother you if I steal some of your user page style?  Mine was deliberately minimalist but it's bugging me a bit now (no idea when I'll get to it tho).  Looking forward to the book BTW. -- Herby  talk thyme 08:00, 22 December 2006 (UTC)


 * Thanks - I like to learn from others. Hope things get better for you, be happy to help if I can.  The book should be a good outlet -- Herby  talk thyme 16:51, 22 December 2006 (UTC)

Fixed...
I'm not sure why that was protected against editing... it was done by a sysop who was desysopped on wikipedia a few months ago, go figure :).

It's unprotected now, feel free to list it. -- SB_Johnny | talk 00:49, 22 December 2006 (UTC)

Howdy
Nice CSS. :) --Remi0o 06:34, 22 December 2006 (UTC)

wp mess
I saw the title of the page, and didn't read a single word. Wikipedia will be OK, it just needs to implode for a while... it's a tempest in a teapot, and regardless of the tempest, the tea's still yummy. Ignore it, there's nothing to see there :).

I'm on IRC, as usual (quite the party!). -- SB_Johnny | talk 23:53, 24 December 2006 (UTC)

Positive Psychology
Sure, I could use help. I don't really know much about it beyond reading a couple of magazine articles and The Art of Happiness by the Dalai Lama (if that counts). But anyway, I started it because it's a new, interesting field in psych and something people should know about. I guess I'll try watching the Positive Psychology lectures taught by Tal Ben-Shahar to educate myself.

You stated in your user page an interest in China. In that case, 看一看 at the progress on the Chinese (Mandarin) Wikibook. It has (IMO) a pioneering design and unparalleled quality for a language Wikibook, but is very short on content for the moment. I'm eager for more contributions or suggestions.

Template:ASPCite
Hey Elara, is Template:ASPCite redundant to Template:DSMCite? And if so, may I (or you) nominate it for speedy deletion? Thanks, Iamunknown 20:19, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

Sexual Health/Rape
Hello Elaragirl, how are things going with your book? It all looks very good to my untrained eye.

This page is part of the Sexual Health book, a pet project of mine. I would like to write something about the topic of rape, to try and dispel the rumors, and talk about some of the issues involved. considering your work on the abnormal sexual psychology book, I was wondering if you had any notes/research/expertise in the area of rape that we could use to help expand this page? Even a short sidenote about the mindset of rapists, or the psychological effects on rape victims would be valuable, if you have such information to share.

If not, that's fine too, I can probably look up most of the information I need on google or wikipedia. Thanks in advance! --Whiteknight (talk) (projects) 03:43, 6 February 2007 (UTC)


 * Thanks very much for your input. I'm sincerely sorry if I have reminded you of any negative memories. --Whiteknight (talk) (projects) 13:50, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

Template:Abnormal Sexual Psychology
Hello Elaragirl, long time no see! I created this template for your book, and I've put it at the top of every page. "Page header templates" help to standardize the look-and-feel of the book, they give a standard way of navigating from page to page, and they serve as a vehicle for properly categorizing all the book's pages. I stole this template from your own work at Template:Abnormal Sexual Psychology/navtemplate, to try and preserve your artistic vision for the book. You are free to change it, of course, if you want something different to suit your needs. Let me know if you have any questions. --Whiteknight (Page) (Talk) 15:12, 17 August 2007 (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 Elaragirl. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Elaragirl~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 23:11, 17 March 2015 (UTC)
