User talk:Oerlabs

Hello, two questions: your account name suggests that the account is being operated by more than one person and is associated with the subject that you are editing about - i.e., there is a employer / employee relationship and you are being paid to edit. Can you clarify the situation please? Secondly you appear to be copying from another source - can you identify where the material is coming from so we can verify the copyright status. Thanks - QuiteUnusual (discuss • contribs) 11:49, 27 November 2019 (UTC)
 * @QuiteUnusual
 * The account is only operated by one person (me), but I could ask for an account rename to clarify things, if that would help.
 * I am getting paid by the University of Cologne (Germany) to transfer this work, I will add conflict of interest markers on the talk pages to clarify things. I was not aware that this would be neccessary, so thank you for reminding me.
 * The book is the result of a joint project of the University of Cologne and the Technical University Kaiserslautern to further the use of OER (open educational resources) and implement openness in schools and universites.
 * The original content is hosted here: https://openbook-int.oerlabs.de/index.php?title=Openbook_(en) and the original text is CC0 licensed - on Wikibooks of course the CC-BY-SA 3.0 applies. I do hope that the project can find a place here on Wikibooks since it would fit nicely with other works on open educational resources.

 * Thanks for the answer. I think you are fine with what you are doing. No need to rename, we're not that fussy here (compared to Wikipedia) QuiteUnusual (discuss • contribs) 13:49, 27 November 2019 (UTC)

OERlabs Openbook
Hi. I'm looking at this book, and, based on what I actually see on the page, I literally don't know what I'm looking at. If you're moving this book from elsewhere to here, you do need to make sure someone who encounters it here knows what it is; otherwise, how can they use it? Some explanation of what OERlabs is would seem appropriate. As a related point, each wikibook should place itself on at least one shelf; but, what shelf this belongs on depends on what it's about. --Pi zero (discuss • contribs) 19:21, 29 December 2020 (UTC)
