The GIMP
Hi,

So first welcome to the Wikibooks! Thank you for your edits to the The GIMP book. I'd just like to tell, you few things about the book, as there's no manual of style currently for it, but it should change soon. As you may noticed in other articles, all pages are categorized into Category:The GIMP. To do so add at the bottom of the page. Also current images have a general style of naming, like here. There's no need to write the file dimensions, or version of The GIMP. Also when it comes to licensing, screenshots are not something you own. You should use this template. For all GIMP screenshots you should use GPL as the first option. For images that have parts that are your own work, add a second license for that. If image is not your work, but a derived work, use same license as the original author used. Also it is not own work, but derived work. There's no need to tell the date, as it may change in any time. And for the screenshots, there's no need for the description. Also images should be categorized. Always look trough the category, as there may be an image like that already. And the tutorials do not need to have many images. One or two may be enough. So these are some basic tips, I hope it didn't scared you ;-). Happy editing and be bold!.


 * Hi,
 * thank you for the nice welcome and your advises.
 * Before I move images to new names, maybe the whole book should be renamed, but I'll continue that discussion of the front page's talk page. As for the amount of images in tutorials: The number of "dumb" questions on irc says that there can never be enough images :) especially for beginners' tutorials.

 * Well, the book is not going to be renamed. There's too many articles, and a redirect is enough. The images can't be moved so leave them as they are, this doesn't really matter. Just the licensing and other things should be more like in here, when it comes to screenshots. And well, then I'm not up to date with the current info. But that's probably true, just making a gallery of the images is a bit... too much. So again happy editing! Soeb talkundefinedcontribs 14:09, 18 December 2008 (UTC)
