 * Happening on wikisource also. I think it is a general problem. Mattisse (discuss • contribs) 15:02, 22 May 2011 (UTC)
 * I would have thought there would be more independence, with redundancy built into the system. Wonder what the cause was. 19:27, 22 May 2011 (UTC)&#91;&#91;User:Geof Bard गीता&#93;&#93; (discuss • contribs)

Edit conflict based on normal four tilde automatic signature
http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Help_talk:Importing#To_delete_or_not_to_delete when I clicked Post I got an edit conflict but my edit had actually gone through with the only diff being instead of four tildes, the sig.

=Interesting glitch on Importing= I edited the file quite a bit before importing. My edits showed as if done in Transwiki rather than wikipedia.

Failed imports- evidence of attempts to fix this at Mediawiki
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/User_talk:Geofferybard#Edit_notices_on_Media_Wiki.3F

This just shows I racked my brain trying to import edit histories. Thus, my extended efforts to copy and past attribution, or at least link to attribution, should satisfy anyone, right? &#91;&#91;User:Geof Bard गीता&#93;&#93; (discuss • contribs) 05:37, 24 May 2011 (UTC)

Subjects/Categories
For some reason I get a redlink at the bottom of Diablo book altho the Subject subsection populates the superordinate Subjects fine. Maybe it just takes a while.[

Very confusing. I see a category at:

[] Category:Environmental_law

and at

[] Category:Nuclear engineering

but not at [] Category:Political activism

This just in
During the elapsed time, the deleted category page has nevertheless populated with the book name, obviously because of the subject tag. But the red link is still red. How bizarre!

And so
It seems like all that is needed to be done is to go into edit mode, leave the page blank, save, and the page will automatically clear of the deleted-page headers.

Subjects Template
The subjects template, and alphabetical, are only used on the main page of a book. They don't work on sub-pages so you can't include different bits of a book in different subjects QU TalkQu 21:06, 30 May 2011 (UTC)
 * I was just in the process of fixing that. Thought it was the mainpage&#91;&#91;User:Geof Bard गीता&#93;&#93; (discuss • contribs) 21:14, 30 May 2011 (UTC)
 * I see what happened. I searched on activism and got the page, thinking it was the title page. Yuk yuk. Live and learn.&#91;&#91;User:Geof Bard गीता&#93;&#93; (discuss • contribs) 21:16, 30 May 2011 (UTC)

Reply to your message
Nuclear plant near me is Crystal River 3 Nuclear Power Plant.

I'm kind of burnt out though, after the experience at wikinews. Perhaps I will perk up! Mattisse (discuss • contribs) 18:49, 31 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Each WMF project has its own bureacrats and in some cases the whole culture is quite different. Wikinews is trying to achieve a model which is quite different that others and IMHO you would find WikiBooks more laissez faire in that it does not have to deal with the tension between breaking news and news going stale. &#91;&#91;User:Geof Bard गीता&#93;&#93; (discuss • contribs) 19:05, 1 June 2011 (UTC)
