User talk:Matty3269

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

I'd like to add a personal note that I think it is awsome that you are trying to help out here on Wikibooks and contribute to Wikibooks. Please note that this is not quite like other wikis, where you simply name a page and get going by randomly linking from one topic to another. Usually we try to write "books" here, where all of the "pages" are linked together with some sort of common naming system, where modules like Light year (ly) are often deleted due to the fact that it is hard to locate the context that it is being used.

Please also look over Wikibooks policies as mentioned in the welcome message above, and in particular I would recommend that you visit What is Wikibooks for an indepth description of what sorts of things are encouraged here on this website.

We are primarily oriented toward writing textbooks and other non-fiction content that has a narritive that flows from one page to the next, with increasing details as you move on from one topic to the next. If you are interested in helping out with building a glossary of astronomical terms, you might want to check out Wiktionary:Wiktionary:Astronomical terms, that is being hosted on our sister project Wiktionary. There are some genuine word buffs on that site which love to define different words and are also interested in technical accuracy of those terms as well.

Again, thank you for your contributions, and I hope that you do continue to participate at Wikibooks. --Rob Horning 05:46, 30 March 2006 (UTC)
