Please do not edit the main page template without looking around first. It isn't something that is appropriate for much editing -- Herby talk thyme 08:57, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Nope! -- Herby talk thyme 08:59, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
 * I guess I see "changing the main page" as being something that maybe should be run past a few others. If it were me I'd post in the staff lounge and ask for views there.  That said I do realise that you can do it and I will not interfere again - I'm at work , so can't talk much, really just watching RC - cheers -- Herby  talk thyme 09:08, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Contribution appreciated - don't let me put you off, just urging some caution -- Herby talk thyme 09:13, 4 December 2006 (UTC)


 * Good joke - other RC patrollers!! -- Herby talk thyme 09:16, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

Welcome
Hello and welcome to Wikibooks!

Here are some tips to help you get started:
 * You should 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! -- Herby talk thyme 08:58, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

BTW
You are completely correct about the cat on WW2 page in my view (I'd placed something on the editors page earlier but had no response - cheers -- Herby talk thyme 09:12, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
 * R U WP by any chance? -- Herby talk thyme 09:15, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Yes, I'm w:user:unforgettableid Unforgettableid 09:15, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Waaaay different pace/approach here. It's a nice place but it takes a while to get to.  The link in the welcome on the wb for wp is quite useful.  Enjoy the "sabbatical"  - cheers -- Herby  talk thyme 09:21, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

Template:Main Page introduction
I'd hate to add to Herbythyme's revertions, but I think it might be inapproperiate to change the message without discussion with other members of the community. Its part of the defintion of what Wikibooks is and I believe might be considered a major change. Also I object to your linking to Wikipedia, because Wikibooks is not Wikipedia. We have our own help pages, abit they need major work, that would IMO be better suited for linking to. --dark lama  15:23, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
