User talk:Marker~enwikibooks

A few questions:


 * Who precisely is the target audience?
 * For example, Some of these texts could be most useful to students without internet access, particularly students in third-world countries where textbook costs are alone a prohibitive educational expense. But I doubt we could target books to such an audience.
 * Another example: Arithmetic begins at the very beginning by introducing addition, but the tone is hardly suited for a typical student of addition: "operations", "numerical", and "quantities", from the first sentence, are probably enough to throw off anyone for whom this section would be useful. On the other hand, if the article quickly becomes more complicated, then perhaps the initial tone is appropriate; so the question remains.


 * Are the user names different from wikibooks to wikipedia, etc? If so, why? I wouldn't have chosen this username if I had known that someone else had it for wikipedia...


 * Is there a mailing list or discussion page dedicated to the mathematics books collectively? If not, why not?

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 Marker. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Marker~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 23:25, 17 March 2015 (UTC)
