User talk:Johnrigdon~enwikibooks

Welcome to Wikibooks
Thank you for contributing to Wikibooks. We value new cotributions to this project.

I would like to ask you to get to know some of the general policies that we have here on Wikibooks:


 * What is Wikibooks
 * Policies and guidelines

I noticed a new Wikibook that you are starting called Where There Is No Dentist. This is an awsome project, but unfortunately this is not something we encourage here on Wikibooks. Things of this nature are more appropriate on our sister project called Wikisource. I would strongly recommend that you try to drop a message at the Wikisource Scriptorium first and ask them for some guidance for how to proceed, although I don't see any reason to stop this effort in general. You may want to post the original English content as well, making sure that you have copyright permission from the original author.

Make sure that all content that you add here can be added through the Gnu Free Document License or a compatable content license. Since this is a relatively new book, we generally presume that copyright permission was not granted unless explicit permission from the author is somehow noted with some way to verify the copyright permission, including from any publisher of the book as well.

Like I said, this is a very noble project you are working on, and I would like to encourage you to continue that project. Just keep in mind that we are aiming here to produce English language textbooks here and this is not just an open web server to put whatever content you would like to add. Still, we want to encourage new contributors to Wikibooks and I hope I havn't discouraged you from making any progress.

If you have any questions, you can add a note at the bottom of my user talk page or you can even write a private e-mail message to me asking for further assistance. I want to see that you can proceed with your translation project in the best possible place, and not get accidently deleted because of a misunderstanding of what it is all about. --Rob Horning 23:59, 29 January 2006 (UTC)

About the translation project
Out of curiosity, would it not be easier to first translate it into French and then retranslate from French? You might be able to tap into a larger pool of translators, no? -- Kowey 13:34, 15 February 2006 (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 Johnrigdon. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Johnrigdon~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 23:17, 17 March 2015 (UTC)
