User talk:Tilly~enwikibooks

Biodiesel
Continued from discussion with Tilly as 61.9.214.113: I'm sorry if you felt that I was editing your work unfairly. But, because you were contributing anonymously, I had no way of knowing what your intentions were (also, you didn't fill out your edit summaries, as you should). I'm also concerned that you have replaced the current process with your own proprietary process, that can be seen as advertising, and is not allowed on Wikibooks. I see that you have toned down your claims for remuneration, that's good. But, you do understand that you lose any clam to the process once you have submitted it to Wikibooks (as you have licensed it under the GFDL by the act of submitting it)? It will be modified without mercy. Additionally, you don't need to sign your work unless it's on a talk page. (Donovan|Geocachernemesis|Interact) 02:24, 27 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Hello Geocachernemesis, I just did not understand how my edits were changing back so fast.

I am struggling with the operations of this forum, computers are not my strong point. I did not see any edit summeries to fill out or anything else and I do not even know how to reply to you here properly, but I hope this reaches you. I finally found the registration feature and am now logged in. Believe it or not I got to this page by accident when I was "Googling" something else altogether different and I have not got a clue exactly "Where I am" now. I could never re-locate the page where I wrote to you the first time.

The Work I was editing is an early version of a Biodiesel production procedure which I developed. It is probably the single most popular method of making mini-batches of biodiesel in the English speaking Biodiesel World and is known throughout the biodiesel world as the "World Famous Dr Pepper Technique (Pat Pend)" I did not post it to this forum just like I have not posted it to many other forums across the internet where it appears. It makes me feel good to see that something I have developed is spreading all over the internet helping people.

Because this forum is editable I was updating the posting to include the latest changes to the procedure. The (Pat Pend) and reminder of royalties due after 53,459 litres production payable through your "Favourite Swiss Bank account" are probably tongue in cheek, but if some one wants to send me money... While I am flattered that people think so highly of my work that it has been posted here without asking my permission, I do think that as it is my work it should have my "Name" on it.

Tilly

I'm sorry if my reaction seemed harsh. It's nothing personal, but I'm simply trying to uphold Wikibooks policy. Unfortunately, your biodiesel recipe is original research and will probably not be allowed by Wikibooks, see What Wikibooks is not.

If you would like to learn more about Wikibooks, then here are some tips to help you get started:


 * Remember to conduct any editing experiments in the sandbox.
 * Check out our help page if you need additional help.
 * Eventually, you might want to read the Manual of Style and Policies and Guidelines.
 * Remember to maintain a Neutral point of view.
 * Explore, be bold in editing pages, and have fun!

Good luck!

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 Tilly. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Tilly~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 23:50, 17 March 2015 (UTC)
