Welcome Again
Welcome, and I mean this sincerly, welcome to Wikibooks. It is fantastic to see somebody like you to come here and try to take on the incredibly huge task of trying to write a textbook. And to take on a subject like Algebra! This is something that really does need to be accomplished.

Take some time to poke around here on Wikibooks as well. Excuse some of the messes that you will find, and it is still a little bit confusing to people not quite familiar with Wikimedia projects. While Wikibooks is over three years old now, we have recently experienced a huge increase in just about every sort of number you can use to measure websites like this, and we are showing those growing pains as well. If you need some advise, feel free to contact any one of the project administrators for some help. They are all experienced users and are here to help people like you to succeed.

One reason I'm dropping a line to you is that you recently deleted a page by removing the content. Don't worry, I understand that you are new here, but for future reference I would like to encourage you to instead use a special markup symbol that we call a template tag. The specific tag for removing content is  , where you replace the word reason with the justification for removing the content. The bracket symbols indicate a special command or a template that the Wiki software will insert into the text at the point you put this into text you are editing here. All content on Wikibooks and similar project must be manually deleted as we don't trust a computer to be able to make accurate judgement calls to remove content like this, and only an administrator can really delete content. The reasons for this is to keep potential mischief makers from really messing things up, but allow some trusted individuals to help keep things under control.

I hope that your experience here on Wikibooks is productive and I also hope to see more of your contributions soon! --Rob Horning 14:50, 25 January 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 Sean. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Sean~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 23:40, 17 March 2015 (UTC)
