User talk:The Halo~enwikibooks

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!

Hi Halo!
Most of what you need to know is in the welcome template above. The wikibooks for wikipedians page in particular should help you get around. -- SB_Johnny | talk 12:04, 20 November 2006 (UTC)

My to-do list :)
Yeah, if you're looking for projects, one wikipedia-related one I'm workiing on is trying to make books out of modules brought over from w:Category:Copy to Wikibooks and w:Category:Articles containing how-to sections. What's your area of expertise? -- SB_Johnny | talk 13:48, 21 November 2006 (UTC)


 * Oh, actually, we don't have anyone really working on welcoming new users right now... see welcome for details :). -- SB_Johnny | talk 14:39, 21 November 2006 (UTC)


 * Cool! -- I keep looking at that falconry article and have been wondering how to get someone to work on it... was actually joking with my wife that maybe that should be our next pet :). I'll transwiki it now, you'll find it at Transwiki:Falconry (training). Probably best to just move it to Falconry... we don't use parentetical titles here.
 * I'm keeping an eye on the esparanza debates at WP too, but decided it's better to just sit back. At this point it seems mostly to just be the same people rephrasing the same arguments. Last week I deleted most of a VfD discussion for similar reasons: no reason to archive nastiness, and we're trying very hard not to emulate wikipedia's "angrypedia" tendencies. -- SB_Johnny | talk 15:13, 21 November 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 The Halo. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name The Halo~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 23:46, 17 March 2015 (UTC)
