Votes for undeletion
The BDSM book that you started is presently in the "Votes for undeletion" process. It was originally deleted by an administrator, and we have temporarily undeleted it again while the Wikibooks community at large discusses whether to restore the book.

The main concern seems to be that BDSM is somehow "original research". However I checked; BDSM does not seem to be a new invention. My own concern is that I do not want how-to guides about a practice as dangerous as BDSM, even guides oriented toward making it safer.

Once Wikibooks had a "Manual of Crime", all about arson, carjacking, rape, and such. We deleted it. Then we had "How to cheat on tests and examinations", about how to be academically dishonest. We deleted it. We had a page about how to be an Internet troll. We deleted it. BDSM (which was unknown to me before it appeared on Wikibooks) does not have the same problem, but it is risky and dangerous, with entertainment as its only goal.

Further, if the intent is to write mostly for Wikipedia (in BDSM and linked articles), and only submit leftovers to Wikibooks, then the BDSM book would not have fared well here. What I suggest you do, if you want to write BDSM content on a wiki other than Wikipedia, is to try either of the two wikis linked from the bottom of the BDSM page. --Kernigh 23:16, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

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 Sbower. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Sbower~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 23:43, 17 March 2015 (UTC)
