Come introduce yourself at the new users page. If you have any questions, you can ask there or contact me personally.

Sincerely, Welcome to Wikibooks!

I'm glad that you have chosen to come here and help to help with Wikibooks, and I hope that you continue to participate here. This is mainly a footnote to let you know that I have changed the name of your new Wikibook from TeachersToolbox to Teachers' Toolbox. First of all, there is no need for using CamelCase in the naming of Wikibooks. You can revert back to this naming system if you really want to, but it should be done only as an artistic flair to the name of the book and not because of any restraints of the software running the Wikibooks website. Most Wikibooks have spaces in the names of the "title" of the book, and can even use glyphs other than the traditional alphabet as well. If you want to change the name of this book back, that can be done by using the "move" tab at the top of the edit page, which will appear after you have spent a little bit of time here on Wikibooks. Brand new contributors are restricted with some of these options. If you need some help on this issue, you can drop a note to me on my discussion page.

I've been in exactly the situation that you've said in the introduction here, actually much worse because I had to substitute for a college course that I hadn't even seen the syllabus until 10 minutes after I started my lecture. The previous instructor had been fired... not a pleasant situation to be in. And that was the first day for me being in the faculty of that school, so I hadn't even seen the college catalog at that point to even know what the curriculum was. I hope I never get myself into a situation like that again. The students liked what I presented and said I did a pretty good job, so I guess that should count for something. --Rob Horning 17:10, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

Pagemoves
Hi,

Did you just use copy-paste to move "microwiki"? -- SB_Johnny | talk 09:13, 4 September 2006 (UTC)


 * yes partly, it was redirected from microtechnology to microwiki and we have reverseed that now, so the page is microtechnology and microwiki redirects there. Same thing about nanowiki and nanotechnology. I wasnt sure how redirect would act to an existing page, so I have used cut-paste. --KristianMolhave 10:18, 4 September 2006 (UTC)


 * I guess that will work in this case... since you were the only author. In the future, keep in mind that pages with multiple contributors should be moved, not copied, as it loses the contribution history when you cut and paste. If there's already a redirect page where you want to move something to, leave a note on the Staff Lounge (or my talk) so that an admin can delete the redirect and move the page with its history intact. :) -- SB_Johnny | talk 10:22, 4 September 2006 (UTC)


 * I'll leave it as it is now, since there were very few other contributors, but if you find time to do it, then you're most welcome to undo my changes and make a proper redirect. I wont be adding to the books the next couple of days. --KristianMolhave 10:38, 4 September 2006 (UTC)


 * OK, will do. You made no other changes? If you make any, do it at the old location, so they get moved with the rest :). I'll move it at lunchtime (5-6 hours from now). -- SB_Johnny | talk 10:51, 4 September 2006 (UTC)


 * Hi again Johnny - from what you write it sounds like it needs an admin to do the move correctly. If I can do it myself i'll do it - just let me know! thanx /KristianMolhave 19:55, 7 September 2006 (UTC)


 * You don't usually need an admin to move correctly, but for some reason there was already a redirect where you were moving it to, and the redirect page needed to be deleted before pagemove could work. I redid the moves for Nanotechnology and Microtechnology... are there any others?
 * BTW, see the talk page for nanotechnology... there was an IP edit that altered the format, and I wasn't sure whether to put it back in so I copied it to the talk.
 * Good luck with your project! -- SB_Johnny | talk 10:33, 8 September 2006 (UTC)
 * - thanks - so far theres only those two pages. I think we'll start chopping it into smaller sections on individual pages now. KristianMolhave 15:06, 8 September 2006 (UTC)


 * Cool :). If you need to move something and there's a redirect there, let me know and I'll delete it for ya. -- SB_Johnny | talk 15:33, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

Wikibooks Newsletter, Volume 1
(Wikibooks gazette home | Discuss | Bulletin board | Subscription list)

This is a short newsletter that is being distributed to all active wikibookians. You are getting this message because you are recognized as an established contributor to the project. This newsletter will be distributed on a regular basis to help share news, information, and tips. It comes from a bot account, User:The Staff. User:The Staff is currently operated by a team of wikibooks admins, the complete list of which is available on the user page of the bot. If you would like to not receive this newletter anymore, please remove your name from the list at Active wikibookians.

The work you do at Wikibooks is greatly appreciated. However there are plenty of other opportunities for you to get involved and help us to create a thriving Wikibooks community. We are sure that there are things we can do to help you and your understanding of Wikibooks and similarly there are certainly things you could do to help Wikibooks become a better place.

We would like to ask all wikibookians to add the Bulletin Board to your watchlists. The Bulletin Board is a fast and easy way for wikibookians to communicate important news and events to the entire community. If you have important news to share with the community, you can feel free to add your own entry to that page.

If you have general questions or comments about Wikibooks, you are welcome to post a message on The Staff Lounge, a free discussion area. Your input would also be welcomed in the Votes for Deletion and Requests for Adminship discussion pages. These pages are all active discussion areas that help to shape the Wikibooks community as a whole.

Sometimes it is easy to forget that the Wikibooks community is much larger and more diverse then the people who work in a single book, or on a single bookshelf. Hopefully, together we can all make Wikibooks a better place, and a more valuable educational resource.

If you have a moment to vote
There are two administrators (HerbyThyme and myself) currently asking for checkuser rights. Checkuser is a tool used to help clean up and discourage vandalism on wikibooks, allowing us to block IP addresses that are used by vandals, while at the same time letting us be sure we don't accidentally block a good contributor who might be sharing that IP address.

The place to vote is Requests_for_adminship (for Herby) and Requests_for_adminship (for me). Unlike most tool requests, Checkuser is required to have a minimum of 25 votes, since this tool is given by Wikimedia stewards, rather than local users. Thanks for contributing to Wikibooks! -- SB_Johnny | talk 14:44, 29 December 2006 (UTC)
