Capitalization/Abbreviation

 * Regarding capitalisation and abbreviation, check out Cookbook:Policy. It seems that the norm on Cookbook is to capitalise as per "title case" e.g. Nappa Cabbage, rather than Nappa cabbage. Webaware 02:22, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

Firstly - as you didn't get one!
Hello and welcome to Wikibooks!

Here are some tips to help you get started:
 * You should sign your name on Talk and vote pages using four tildes, like this: &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126;.
 * Remember to conduct any editing experiments in the sandbox.
 * If you're a Wikipedian, see Wikibooks for Wikipedians for a primer on how things work here (it's a little different).
 * If you want to base your work here on materials from Wikipedia, please use WB:RFI to bring the material over in compliance with the GFDL.
 * If you're an instructor and plan on using wikibooks for a class project, see Guidelines for class projects
 * Please say hello at the Staff Lounge with any questions or ideas.
 * Eventually, you might want to read the Manual of Style and Policies and Guidelines.
 * Please take a look at Naming policy before starting a new book.
 * Remember to maintain a Neutral point of view.
 * Explore, be bold in editing pages, and have fun!

You will find more resources in Community Portal. If you want to ask a question, visit the Study help desk, the Staff lounge, IRC channel or ask me personally on my talk page. For site news, see the Bulletin board. It might be an idea if you add this page to your "watchlist" so that you can see when any new information is posted there.

Good luck! -- Herby talk thyme 08:20, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

Wikibooks Newsletter, Volume 1
(Wikibooks gazette home | Discuss | Bulletin board | Subscription list)

This is a short newsletter that is being distributed to all active wikibookians. You are getting this message because you are recognized as an established contributor to the project. This newsletter will be distributed on a regular basis to help share news, information, and tips. It comes from a bot account, User:The Staff. User:The Staff is currently operated by a team of wikibooks admins, the complete list of which is available on the user page of the bot. If you would like to not receive this newletter anymore, please remove your name from the list at Active wikibookians.

The work you do at Wikibooks is greatly appreciated. However there are plenty of other opportunities for you to get involved and help us to create a thriving Wikibooks community. We are sure that there are things we can do to help you and your understanding of Wikibooks and similarly there are certainly things you could do to help Wikibooks become a better place.

We would like to ask all wikibookians to add the Bulletin Board to your watchlists. The Bulletin Board is a fast and easy way for wikibookians to communicate important news and events to the entire community. If you have important news to share with the community, you can feel free to add your own entry to that page.

If you have general questions or comments about Wikibooks, you are welcome to post a message on The Staff Lounge, a free discussion area. Your input would also be welcomed in the Votes for Deletion and Requests for Adminship discussion pages. These pages are all active discussion areas that help to shape the Wikibooks community as a whole.

Sometimes it is easy to forget that the Wikibooks community is much larger and more diverse then the people who work in a single book, or on a single bookshelf. Hopefully, together we can all make Wikibooks a better place, and a more valuable educational resource.

Templates
Why are you duplicating Template:Infobox2 as Template:Psychofarm/Infobox and Template:Infobox Disease as Template:Psychofarm/Infobox Disease? -- Adrignola talk contribs 21:09, 6 September 2009 (UTC)


 * Template:Infobox Disease from Wikipedia uses Template:Infobox. The Wikibooks already has a Template:Infobox and it is not the same.  So I decided to recreate the Infobox and Infobox Disease Template but put my Username in front of them, rather than edit the Templates already in use.  Does this make sense?--Psychofarm (talk) 21:15, 6 September 2009 (UTC)


 * Now I see what you did to fix the problem. I will flag the ones I no longer need for speedy deletion.  I learned a lot through this little exercise, though.  Thanks for your help.--Psychofarm (talk) 21:20, 6 September 2009 (UTC)


 * To be honest, I made this mistake myself in the past as well. I should put a link to Template:Infobox2 on Template:Infobox to avoid confusion in the future.  Frankly, the infoboxes Template:Infobox were intended to create are not really used anymore by the books that used them.  I'd almost want to delete all the entries in Category:Infoboxes so that Template:Infobox2 can be moved to Template:Infobox to match up with the location Wikipedia has it at.  I don't know whose bright idea it was to create an alternate template at a conflicting name with a popular template on Wikipedia.  It was bound to cause problems in the future. -- Adrignola talk contribs 21:27, 6 September 2009 (UTC)
