Your course?
I am guessing from one of your edit summaries ("Information was removed because it was plagiarized; the student will have another chance to resubmit when they understand how to do this correctly") that your class is working on this text as part of a class project? If so that is great, if not it is still great to have you here editing. I was just curious how our site was interacting with the "real world". Also feel free to drop by my talk page if you need any help getting settled. Thenub314 (talk) 07:13, 27 October 2010 (UTC)

Keeping it "real world" friendly and class-oriented at the same time
Thanks for the welcome! I have a list of the usernames of the students in the class and am keeping tabs on who submits and what they submit. Students' work is something that I'm keeping under control because they are being graded on it and they have to learn how to do all of this correctly, but if an outsider contributes I won't be making the same kinds of edits, if any at all. My guess is that outsiders probably are going to come in with a greater understanding of all this (Wikibooks and the topic of this particular book) anyways than these students are.
