Hello and welcome to Wikibooks!

Here are some tips to help you get started:
 * You can 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.

Good luck! -- Herby talk thyme 17:03, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

Sorry to be picky
If you look at the manual of style you will find that capitalizing the headings is the Wikibooks way of doing it -- Herby talk thyme 17:45, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Additionally signatures are not placed on book pages but only on talk pages - do have a look at the help links provided -- Herby talk thyme 17:47, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

Changing the name of a book
Very easy indeed (when you know how!). Use the "move" tab at the top to "move" it to the name you want (bearing in mind naming policy of course). If you do have queries you would be best posting them either in the Staff lounge or the Study help desk referred to above. Let me know if I can help -- Herby talk thyme 13:07, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
 * However - as I pointed out - there is a naming policy and "Chronic fatigue Syndrom - Reflections on embodiment and therapeutical approaches" is against that. The name should be "Chronic fatigue Syndrom/Reflections on embodiment and therapeutical approaches" with a forward slash and no space either side of that.  Please correct it and maybe do some reading on policy or talk to someone -- Herby  talk thyme 13:34, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
 * OK looking harder maybe strike that - are you planning to have additional chapters to the book? The titles is maybe a little long for the general reader (if you look at other titles here) though.  Get back to me if you want -- Herby  talk thyme 13:41, 3 December 2006 (UTC)


 * Fine - that way anyone wanted to can create subpages from "Chronic fatigue Syndrom". It will allow it to build while leaving the integrity of your pages intact.  If I can help you know where I am (metaphorically speaking!) -- Herby  talk thyme 13:53, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

Creating a redirect
OK - it does now . Easier to do it than anything else but if you type it in now you will see at the top of the page "(Redirected from Chronic Fatigue Syndrom)". If you click on the links part of that you will see what a redirect looks like BUT nothing else can go on that page. Hope that helps regards -- Herby talk thyme 14:15, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
 * HTH - I'd be careful about setting up many redirects as there may be other topics that they could point to. All the best -- Herby  talk thyme 14:41, 3 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.
