Reading room
The editor reverting you on the Reading Room is referring to this deleted book A hand book of life sciences I believe. QuiteUnusual (discuss • contribs) 18:42, 13 April 2020 (UTC)

Deletion
Hi JackPotte, You have deleted a page: https://en.wikibooks.org/w/index.php?title=New_Universal_Declaration_of_Human_Rights&action=edit&redlink=1 Could you please help me figure an adequate way of using a wiki to write a collective work? Would Wikiversity be more adequate? Kindest regards
 * I've restored the stub on User:Joaoalvesmarrucho/sandbox. Actually even collective works have to start in a sandbox to avoid indexing empty contents. JackPotte (discuss • contribs) 16:25, 8 June 2020 (UTC)

Deletion
Why did you delete my page "Guide About Kittens/What You Need to Know"? Its not spam. It helps users who want to adapt a kitten. I just want to make a book that won't get deleted. BookImaginationIsNeeded helps (discuss • contribs) 16:03, 31 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Hello and sorry but the page Guide About Kittens/What you need to know seemed to me like a stubby original content just with references to a few external sites and no TOC, which constitutes a few violations of our policy.
 * Anyway, I've restored it into User:User:BookImaginationIsNeeded/Guide About Kittens/What you need to know to allow you to develop it. JackPotte (discuss • contribs) 18:56, 31 July 2020 (UTC)

What do you mean by develop the page? BookImaginationIsNeeded helps (discuss • contribs) 13:24, 1 August 2020 (UTC)
 * I had put the link to Policies and guidelines. The main space books must comply with these policies. JackPotte (discuss • contribs) 14:14, 1 August 2020 (UTC)

Speedy of
Per I am trying to do WP:BOLD and get into WikiBooks and get a transwiki of a WikiBooks Character Encoding  (EBCDIC) transwikied from WP to WB. I am waiting for an import for resources from WP:RBI as suggested by. Building Haycocks has the potential to by a valid book. The main page is structure derived from a featured article and is giving me a reasonable structure. Priority one is the Character Encoding stuff which I have been limited to one month to try to achieve. My RL at the moment is stressed and dealing with a speedy is the last thing I need. And given I have Template:Stage at 0% I have made every effort to indicate I am aware this is a work in progress. I am unsure how my life will unfold in the next month, but if I am not wanted here on WikiBooks then simply ban me now. While Djm-leighpark is my normal account is my alternate for automation and automation (possibly offline scripts) will be used in the stand up of Character encodings. If you need my experience in building haycocks I was trained by one of the best builders in South Sligo .... if you dont want the fruits of my knowledge on WikiBooks then tell me to get off WikiBooks now and block me and I can raise the appropriate DRV back on WP. Thankyou. Djm-leighpark (discuss • contribs) 17:24, 1 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Its a speedy of Building Haycocks. Djm-leighpark (discuss • contribs) 17:24, 1 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Hello, I'm not sure if I did something wrong, I certainly didn't want to be unwelcoming by categorizing your book into those to develop (if you had any idea to improve the template text, you're welcome).
 * Actually we can't afford to publish thousands of empty books TOCs in the search engine, that's why the special:mypage/sandbox has been made. Then, when a book is worthwhile reading we can move it into the main namespace. JackPotte (discuss • contribs) 17:41, 1 August 2020 (UTC)
 * This is a front page that defines the structure (chapters and sections) for a lightweight book called "Building Haycocks". The idea is I can pick an individual chapter or section, think about it and write a little, on a divide and conquer basis.  But a partial (major?) purpose is so that I train myself in building the structure for a book potential name "Character Encodings".  That is far a higher level of complexity and will take 50+ transwikied pages in the first place with several hundred more likely to follow.  (The EBCDIC pages are on a 30 day time limit and Iam under RL crunch at the moment, with next week more so, though to be fair my issues are minor compared to those of many others and loads of people are supportive, I cannot necessarily say the same for their computer and telephone answering systems).

Hello
Hello, Jack thanks for reviewing those new pages btw, I have been expanding the Wikijunior/Africa books for some time, either as an IP and this account.I am not also new to Wikimedia, so Do all my edits have to be reviewed, since it’s really uncomfortable seeing my edits in yellow. Is there a way to make my contributions in Wikijunior automatically checked? Regards --Synoman Barris (discuss • contribs) 07:25, 27 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Hello, there is an autopromotion which will automatically change your account after a few more edits. JackPotte (discuss • contribs) 07:42, 27 August 2020 (UTC)
 * That is not entirely true. Autopromotion stopped working last year. Prahlad balaji (discuss • contribs) 05:04, 16 September 2020 (UTC)
 * It’s working, check the log here--Synoman Barris (discuss • contribs) 08:09, 18 September 2020 (UTC)
 * , not for me. check my log here --Prahlad balaji (T / C) 16:45, 18 September 2020 (UTC)
 * 5 or more of your edits should be in recent changes at the time automatic reviewer promotion is checked. Since it started working a few days ago, the editors that were promoted had more than five edits in the recent changes. Just continue editing more often and you will be automatically reviewed. --Synoman Barris (discuss • contribs) 17:06, 18 September 2020 (UTC)

The Story of Rhodesia problem
Hi, I just stumbled across the book “The story of Rhodesia” and in the shelf “history of Africa”, it’s listed as completion unknown. I added the status template but it still says completion unknown. Can you please help? Thanks in advance, -ElfSnail123 (discuss • contribs) 21:25, 30 October 2020 (UTC)
 * hello, I've just edited Category:Shelf:African history without changing anything to empty its server cache, and the book wasn't in unknown anymore. JackPotte (discuss • contribs) 22:25, 30 October 2020 (UTC)


 * Thank you very much! -ElfSnail123 (discuss • contribs) 09:42, 31 October 2020 (UTC)


 * &lt;pi zero, in passing&gt; Btw, curiously (to me, anyway), purging cache for the category page updated it but didn't update the shelf itself, Shelf:African history, even though the category is generated by transcluding the contents of the shelf. This is, I suppose, because the expansion of the lists on the page happens after transclusion though before caching.  (I've now purged the shelf too, though I'm sort of sorry to have done it since the anomaly is no longer visible.) --Pi zero (discuss • contribs) 13:04, 31 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Please don't be sorry, I take your word for granted. JackPotte (discuss • contribs) 20:32, 31 October 2020 (UTC)

JackBot
Hello, why did the addition of BookCat (i.e., edits like this) stop? I've now spent some time cleaning the backlog at Special:UncategorizedPages using AWB, but a bot would probably be more efficient there. 𝟙𝟤𝟯𝟺𝐪𝑤𝒆𝓇𝟷𝟮𝟥𝟜𝓺𝔴𝕖𝖗𝟰 (𝗍𝗮𝘭𝙠) 22:45, 7 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Hello, well, sometimes I have to manually reconnect the bot because Pywikipedia doesn't reconnect automatically after sessions expirations. But in our case, it's because the script calls a method of the framework which doesn't exist anymore. I'm going to fix this... JackPotte (discuss • contribs) 22:59, 7 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Any updates on this? 𝟙𝟤𝟯𝟺𝐪𝑤𝒆𝓇𝟷𝟮𝟥𝟜𝓺𝔴𝕖𝖗𝟰 (𝗍𝗮𝘭𝙠) 11:06, 27 December 2020 (UTC)
 * The script is running every night but it doesn't add BookCat is the last editor is not trusted, just to avoid to hide any vandalism and its revocation button. JackPotte (discuss • contribs) 20:02, 27 December 2020 (UTC)
 * That doesn't seem to work; the last edit with "BookCat" in the edit summary was in 2017. 𝟙𝟤𝟯𝟺𝐪𝑤𝒆𝓇𝟷𝟮𝟥𝟜𝓺𝔴𝕖𝖗𝟰 (𝗍𝗮𝘭𝙠) 20:07, 27 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Well, Special:UncategorizedPages is up-to-date but the bot retrieves less pages than that through the API (and it has no cache for that). So I must investigate... JackPotte (discuss • contribs) 20:48, 27 December 2020 (UTC)
 * ✅ Actually the bot pages lists were correct. JackPotte (discuss • contribs) 00:10, 2 January 2021 (UTC)

A question about Shelf:Electronic games
Hi, this is a question for the future because currently I’m working on The Story of Rhodesia, but I have a question about Shelf:Electronic games. In its descriptions it’s written: "Books on this shelf deal with electronic games: games that employ electronics to create an interactive system with which a player can play. Video games are the most common form of electronic game today, and for this reason the terms are often mistakenly used synonymously. Books include information on the cultural significance of specific electronic games, and application of electronic games as learning and education tools. Games in a series should be part of the same book. Wikibooks is not for walkthroughs and strategy guides&mdash;use StrategyWiki instead." It says that games from the same series must be in the same book, but it also suggests that games that are not part of a series can’t have more than one book. If I want to make a book about Minecraft villagers or a certain mod for Minecraft (like the galactic craft mod or programming in computercraft mod, am I allowed to? Because I think Wikibooks is a great place for this, and it will help expand the project, and bring more editors. Also many games have more than enough information for several book. Thanks in advance, -ElfSnail123 (discuss • contribs) 14:17, 12 December 2020 (UTC)


 * Also, it’s possible to write books about the history of Minecraft server (not Minecraft servers as a whole, specific Minecraft servers with many players and many Youtubers making base tours). But I’m not sure if it’s allowed because of the sentence “Games in a series should be part of the same book”. If different games in the same series must be in the same book, so according to this rule there can’t be more than one book about the same game, right? -ElfSnail123 (discuss • contribs) 15:36, 12 December 2020 (UTC)
 * hello, that's typically the kind of discussion we could have on Reading room. In my opinion your project could be refused because of What_is_Wikibooks. But I'm not 100% sure. JackPotte (discuss • contribs) 21:57, 12 December 2020 (UTC)


 * I asked this question in Reading room/General. Thanks for the reply! -ElfSnail123 (discuss • contribs) 08:12, 13 December 2020 (UTC)
