Hello, and welcome to Wikibooks!

Here are some tips to help you get started:
 * To learn the wiki-markup-language syntax, see Help:Editing.
 * You should sign your name on Talk and vote pages using four tildes, like this: &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126;
 * There is a box at the top of the edit window that will insert this, too; it looks like part of a signature.
 * Remember to conduct any editing experiments in the sandbox.
 * You can tell the community something about yourself in your userpage.
 * You can get to this page by clicking the tab at the top of the page labeled with your registered username.
 * If you are 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 (requests for importation) 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 a good idea to add this page to your "watchlist" so that you can see when any new information is posted there. You can do that by clicking the tab labeled "watch" at the top of the page.

Good luck! Mattb112885 (talk) 12:42, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

A Researcher's Guide to Local History Terminology
I know it's been mentioned twice before, on Talk:A Researcher's Guide to Local History Terminology, but this really is outside the scope of Wikibooks. Please make an effort with the rest of the contributors to make sure that this gets turned into something other than a dictionary or glossary, as these are not what Wikibooks is for. If something isn't done to turn it into a textbook, someone will eventually put it up for deletion.  – Mike.lifeguard  | talk 13:55, 5 September 2007 (UTC)
 * It looks like you've done some good work trying to bring this book back within project scope. Thanks! You might want to consider moving the terminology section to an appendix and creating chapters for the other content, which should be the focus of any further expansion. Remember, a glossary must be secondary and auxiliary to the main text. If you need help, you can ask on my talk page, or at WB:SLP.  – Mike.lifeguard  | talk 12:21, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

I replied on my talk page. Do you have it on your watchlist so you can see when I reply to you?  – Mike.lifeguard  | talk 13:31, 7 September 2007 (UTC)

Wikinfo
I just read the wikipedia article about Wikinfo the web site is http://www.wikinfo.org/index.php/Main_Page the main page has this message in the header "Original research which addresses significant problems is especially appreciated. Dictionary definitions, links to websites, quotations, source texts, and other types of information not acceptable on Wikipedia are welcome." I immediately thought of you and your work on A Researcher's Guide to Local History Terminology, which has had challenges in finding a home. If you ever need it just wanted you to know it's out there. Keep up the good work. Jeepday (talk) 04:28, 16 January 2008 (UTC)
