Shakespeare's works
I'm afraid that Wikibooks is for textbooks, and therefore I have had to delete the Shakespeare's works book. Content such as this is more appropriate for our sister project Wikisource, which hosts public domain and GFDL-licensed material. I'd imagine they already have Shakespeare on there though. If you're interested in writing a textbook on Shakespeare's plays, however, this would be suitable for Wikibooks, and would be most welcome here, Jguk 19:19, 1 June 2006 (UTC)


 * Thanks for your message. You will see that as I deleted the Wikisource-type content, you will have a fresh start. Do look at Annotated texts bookshelf for similar tomes - and do consider whether it's best to have one book per play and then merge them later, or to set out to have a book of everything straightaway. Often starting small and growing bigger is best - (1) presentationally, and (2) because it takes so long to write a book - if you only write about 3 plays, say, then leave the project, it's better to leave 3 complete textbooks than one textbook 21/24ths (or whatever) incomplete. All the best, Jguk 19:26, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

Oh sorry - I hadn't realised what went would be useful for you. I'll recreate it so you can tweak it to Wikibooks' requirements, Jguk 19:28, 1 June 2006 (UTC)


 * I have now restored all the pages, except for Image:Shakespeare.jpg (as images, when deleted, get permanently deleted from the database). Hopefully it won't be too much trouble for you to locate this - although you'd be better off either choosing an image already on Commons, or alternatively uploading your image to Commons and linking through to here.


 * Good luck with your textbook. I hope you do get through all the plays - though it will take some time. It would still be a good idea to complete each play in turn before moving onto another one - and also, once you have a good start, you may be more successful in encourgaging others to collaborate with you. All the best, Jguk 19:35, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

I appreciate that it's difficult to learn some of our ways. We do have a Help section, but as you will see from the Main Page, it is currently the collaboration of the month to improve it because it doesn't work. Hopefully some of what is there can help you - alternatively, look at some of our best books (these are the hot picks and the ones with cups by them on the Main Page) and copy the style they adopt. Do click "edit this page" on them to check the mark-up, Jguk 19:55, 1 June 2006 (UTC)


 * Tables of contents appear when you have at least three headers to put in them, unless you add to the page - I demonstrate below. I'm not sure, but  may force a table of contents to appear with fewer headers, Jguk 20:31, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

New info
There was already an existing book (or rather start of book) called Introduction to Shakespeare, which I am merging into your book. Please feel free to amend, move or delete the text so that it fits in fully with your book.

Also, are you going to annotate each play in detail? If not, then really you should be linking to the plays on Wikisource rather than adding an unannotated text to Wikibooks. All the best, Jguk 12:38, 2 June 2006 (UTC)

Book of the month
Hi, Brandon. I've removed School of Mathematics from the book of the month voting because it is a Wikiversity school and not a Wikibooks book. Wikiversity is a separate project and will soon be moved to its own wiki, so I think it's best to not intertwine the two so much. If the school won, we would have to link to a separate wiki if Wikiversity is split of next month! Good luck on the William Shakespeare project. Cheers! --hagindaz 23:33, 12 July 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 Peteturtle. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Peteturtle~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 23:36, 17 March 2015 (UTC)
