Hi again,

Yeah, I guess the world belongs to the daring. Sorry if I was too intrusive. Delete this page if you see it fit, I meant no harm.

Take care and have a good one!

PS. Does that mean I can be an editor for wikibooks/wikipedia????

Just kidding, don't get all worked up.

The Storyteller by Martha Whittington
Hello Platinumpony. You took a bold step and created the page, The Storyteller by Martha Whittington; the willingness to add new content and click "Save page" without hesitation is a good trait for a wiki editor. However, you seem to not understand what this wiki, Wikibooks, is about. So let me try to introduce it to you.

As it says on our welcome page, Wikibooks is for "collaboratively writing textbooks and related non-fiction books". We have a Calculus book, a Cookbook, a book about Overcoming Procrastination, for example. Wikibookians are using this wiki to write entire non-fiction books, all available for free through the GNU Free Documentation License so that anyone can copy and modify them.

Wikibooks is not a wiki about books. The intention of this wiki is not to create a wiki page here for each book or collection of printed books that exist outside of this wiki. Wikibooks is not a community place for finding persons who like to read the same books. We have a policy, What is Wikibooks, describing what Wikibooks includes and excludes. It states, "Wikibooks is not a soapbox, or a vehicle for propaganda and advertising." Thus, it is likely that someone will delete your page, The Storyteller by Martha Whittington.

However, some books at Wikibooks can be about books; they can be study guides or references. Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter is a reference to the many Harry Potter books; Illustrated Guide to the world of Spira (FFX and FFX-2) is about a video game. If you are planning to do something similar, The Storyteller might stay on this wiki; otherwise it belongs not here. --Kernigh 23:28, 27 March 2006 (UTC)
