User talk:Karen Johnson~enwikibooks

Hi Karen :) Nice to see Wikibooks has dragged yet another from the clutches of the Wikipedia ;)

Have fun Dysprosia 05:10, 22 Feb 2004 (UTC)

They dragged my beloved recipes, they dragged me! lol Thanks for the welcome. I'm really not sure how much is meant to be duplicated/moved/replaced from the Wikipedia food section to here. I don't want to unnecessarily duplicate other people's work... KJ 05:44, 22 Feb 2004 (UTC)

Please check the Staff Lounge again for some extra info. Thx Dysprosia 10:11, 22 Feb 2004 (UTC)

They are still arguing over there about where to put recipes. This place seems like the logical answer. Good luck! There is lots in need of doing in the cookbook - Marsh 04:17, 24 Feb 2004 (UTC)

I thought it was a done deal that all the recipes were coming over here... but I just got my head bitten off for daring to import the sacred French recipes via the transwiki process :( I don't think I want to do any more... I'm going to concentrate on the noncontroversial vegetables and fruits, like I've already done for Cookbook:Orange. Take the wikipedia entry and extend/modify it so it applies more to the culinary side of things, including what they look like, how to prepare them, and what sort of recipes to use them in... KJ 04:24, 24 Feb 2004 (UTC)


 * I think it only makes sense to bring the recipes here in a cookbook. Wikipedia can reference them. I'll gladly give them my piece of mind on the subject, but there is rifght now a French contigent arguing to keep "recipes" at Wikipedia&mdash;just foolishness. Say, great to have someone closer to my time zone working at Wikibooks (I'm in Hawaii) - Marsh 04:37, 24 Feb 2004 (UTC)


 * I'm in Australia... so I'm halfway there! Lol KJ 04:44, 24 Feb 2004 (UTC)


 * I gather it is Tuesday, sometime in the day (afternoon/evening?) there. It is now dark here, but evening supper is upon us. - Marsh 04:50, 24 Feb 2004 (UTC)
 * It's four pm and my brother just got home from work... it's a nice sunny day today, even if remarkably cold for mid-summer. While I've got your attention, do you know how to link to an article in the cookbook from the en wikipedia? is it Wikibooks:Cookbook:Alfalfa ? I just wrote it and I thought I'd link it to the article in the pedia because they totally ignored culinary use when they wrote it. KJ 05:05, 24 Feb 2004 (UTC)
 * I just put something about that under Cookbook:Fruit for you - Marsh 05:09, 24 Feb 2004 (UTC) OOOpps. It is under Talk:Cookbook:Carrot. If you refer back to Special:Recentchanges you can see where I'm adding in. Just got the dinner bell! Goodonya, mate - Marsh

Isn't this fun??? Just to let you know, I kinda forced through a naming convention for recipes in the cookbook to Cookbook:Recipe Name, with all the important words capitalized, just like in a real book :~). I don't have any opinions on conventions for ingrediants, as so far there haven't been any multi word ingrediant pages.  Pick one and the rest of us will follow.  I don't blame you for not wanting to move articles over here, the process is a bit unwieldly and the thanks we're getting is SO rewarding.

It'll be good to have some help on this side of the move. Might encourage me to move things over more quickly. The Indian recipes got moved today (maybe I should spend the rest of the day here to avoid the possible wikipedia backlash). Gentgeen 19:41, 24 Feb 2004 (UTC)

LOL I don't think there are any Indian contributors to raise a ruckus... I keep forgetting to put the capital letters into page name, and putting things into the wrong place - but I'm trying to remember them. For ingredients I think that only the first letter should be capitalised eg Cookbook:Herb cheese instead of Cookbook:Herb Cheese. Or do you think it should be the other way? I don't really care either way. We'll be getting onto spice mixes soon and they have two or three word titles... KJ 02:12, 25 Feb 2004 (UTC)
 * My vote would be "Herb cheese" but decide what you like - Marsh 03:00, 25 Feb 2004 (UTC)


 * I like it as well, as the recipes are a title, thus a proper noun, while ingrediants are just a thing, so they don't really deserve to be capitalized. My only issue would be something like Pesto, which can be both a recipe and an ingrediant, but it only has one word, so nothing to worry about there (yet). Gentgeen

arts/crafts textbook
If you want to take a stab at an arts and crafts book that sounds like a worthwhile goal to me ! I am glad to have you aboard. --Karl Wick
 * I think it sounds like a good idea too. One that really could go a long ways over the future years - Marsh 04:17, 24 Feb 2004 (UTC)

Old cookbook page
Karen, the old cookbook page is at Talk:Cookbook/Planning. I didn't mean for the page to be changed so quickly, and was hoping to get your input before it was changed, but others seemed to like the idea of being bold, so it got changed. If you're having problems editing tables, just let me know what you'd like on the page and I'll edit it in for you, or I could give you some pointers on the new table syntax.

De-Adminship vote
A vote is being held to remove your sysop privileges. The basis for this vote is lack of use of these privileges. You may want to participate at Requests_for_adminship. See also the discussion at Staff_lounge. --JMRyan 22:40, 17 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 Karen Johnson. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Karen Johnson~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 23:21, 17 March 2015 (UTC)
