On the Starcraft VFD
Well, if StrategyWiki had similar policies or was part of the Wikimedia project, I would agree with you. But it isn't. To edit anything on StrategyWiki, it requires people to register. Additionally, you are asking the authors to not only move the entire book, but to relearn the policies of a different wiki. I'm not saying that StrategyWiki is a bad thing, but it is a different place.

Ultimately, I feel that leaving Video game guides here is an excellent opportunity for Wikibooks in general. It allows contributors to edit their own projects, learning how to utilize the tools of Mediawiki markup, templates, and the such. Starcraft as a guide is also reasonably complete, not as good as some sites, but better than many of the wikibooks. It gives a reasonably deep view of strategy in Starcraft, going down to even build orders and cloning. The book is easy to follow as well.

Also, no official policy on wikibooks has been set against video game guides in general. Arguably, they are software manuals, which is allowed in policy.

Finally, Starcraft itself is one of those rare exceptional games that even if Video Games were removed from this site, I'd argue that Starcraft should stay. Starcraft does have a reasonably large following, and supposedly is very popular in Korea. (at least, this video would imply that). I'm not sure how old that video is, but it does show that Starcraft is pretty popular and can be an exception. And according to wikipedia, it is also reasonably popular, with 2 television channels in Korea dedicated to professional gameplay of Starcraft. --Dragontamer 17:56, 24 November 2006 (UTC)


 * Oh, I copy/pasted this response into the VfD page. On second thought, this is a community debate, so... yeah :-) Please respond there. Thanks! --Dragontamer 18:05, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

Re:Afrikaans
Oh yes! I really would like help with it. I can't do much right now because I barely know the language. Icelandic Hurricane 17:39, 26 November 2006 (UTC)
 * That'd be great! The lessons don't have to be in that order or those exact things though. I just wanted to get the ideas down. Icelandic Hurricane 17:48, 26 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Nice! I g2g eat though. Hang on. Icelandic Hurricane 18:19, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

Wow! That's awesome. I think now it just needs more prose that's not just a list of words, and even pictures if they can be found. Check out lesson one for some ideas. I'll help a little tomorrow if I get the chance, which I probably will. Good luck! Icelandic Hurricane 02:10, 27 November 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.

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 Rakuten06. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Rakuten06~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 23:39, 17 March 2015 (UTC)
