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. For site news, see the Bulletin board. It might be an idea if you add this page to your "watchlist" so that you can see when any new information is posted there.

Good luck! --Remi 07:04, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

Mongolian
Thanks for your offer. :) I am willing to make a commitment to improving knowledge on Wikibooks, but One question: Do I have to already understand Mongolian?  Because I don't know any Mongolian yet.  I can write Cyrillic though, and putting in the extra 2 Mongol Cyrillic letters wouldn't be that hard.--68.54.253.180 17:23, 1 April 2007 (UTC)


 * Thanks a lot! I would love to be able to do this myself, but I don't even really have enough time for the Uzbek book. You won't need any knowledge of Mongolian to begin working :) I think all you need to do is type in the stuff from the peace corps book.--hopefully you can learn some as you go along. If it's needed I can try and help with the formatting...but you don't need formatting to start. I'm not really happy with the template I'm using in the Uzbek book, so I might change it to be more like the German one or something like that.


 * All the following stuffs are in the Public Domain.


 * Anyways, the first step is typing in this first pdf:
 * Amraa et. al. - Mongol Language Competencies for Peace Corps (1993)PDF


 * Here is a beginning of a book another person was working on that I did some stuff for too, if you want you can take a look at it, and incorporate whatever you please. It's only beginning stages.
 * Mongolian Basics (A Grammar)MSWORD


 * Optional for incorporation also is:
 * Hurlbalt et. al. - Peace Corps Learners Mongol-English Dictionary (1993)PDF


 * Hopefully these recourses are useful to you, and hopefully the Mongolian project is a great success. If I can help with anything let me know!--Uzbekscholar 05:17, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

Hi, I'm sorry I haven't replied for all this time, I haven't had much time, sorry! Anyway, your links don't contain any information about Mongolian.--68.54.253.180 15:58, 23 April 2007 (UTC)


 * Hmm, I knew my old server was a bit of a mess, but I didn't realize that pdf's were a problem too. Sorry about that! Anyways, I've updloaded the stuff to the Wikibooks server, and double checked to make sure they were working. Hopefully you have fun working with it! If I can be of any help please let me know!--Uzbekscholar 21:04, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

Hi!
I recently found out about the creation of a Mongolian Wikibook. I just want to say that support your efforts in creating a Turkic Wikibook. Unfortunately I cannot help because I do not speak any Turkic languages other than Turkish. I, for one, am proud of my Turkic heritage, and I'm thirsty for more knowledge on it.

I've made requests for more Turkic language Wikibooks to be made here, including Uyghur, Tatar, and Turkmen. At the moment, though, only Uzbek, Azerbaijani, Mongolian and Turkish exist, the two in the middle particularly needing work. Please help promote the cause.

It's great to be educating Turkic languages to the world, and sharing our culture with them.

That's all I'd like to say. Thank you.

Images with non-commercial use licenses
G'day, I see that you've uploaded some Uzbek-related images that are under non-commercial use licenses. Unfortunately, Wikibooks does not accept images that preclude commercial use - see Image use policy. Please replace these images with free images if possible. Also, Image:UzbekNon.jpg doesn't specify its source - could you supply a link please? Thanks, Webaware talk 09:47, 23 June 2007 (UTC)

Uzbek images on Commons
G'day Uzbekscholar, you may be interested to know about the Uzbek images on the Wiki Commons: Commons:Category:Uzbekistan. In particular, note all the sub-categories, where you will find the images. You can drop these images into your book just like any Wikibooks image; the Wiki software knows to go looking on the Commons if it doesn't find the image in the Wikibooks Images. cheers, Webaware talk 14:41, 7 July 2007 (UTC)

your .pdf upload(s)
Please consider Wikisource as a place to upload documents such as Image:PeaceCorpsUzbek.pdf. Such uploads will be deleted soon; please move them to a better home quickly. Thanks!  – Mike.lifeguard  | talk 14:03, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

Mongolian
I've rolled back your edits to the last version, where I added categories to the book. There is not "no content" on the page as it stands now. There is meta-content, which would better be used to create content rather than deleting it. Every book has to start somewhere, and deleting the plan which has been created there would not be helpful. Please consider contributing to the book rather than asking to have it deleted. If you still feel that it should be deleted, please nominate it at WB:VFD. (copied to Talk:Mongolian) – Mike.lifeguard  &#124; talk 15:02, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

Mongolian
Please do not replace the template on this book. It will be deleted shortly since it is inappropriate to require editors to release their contributions into the Public Domain - that would be contrary to the copyleft philosophy here. Please direct any further questions to WB:AA, where discussion of this issue took place. – Mike.lifeguard  &#124; talk 14:47, 3 November 2007 (UTC)
 * I notice that you recreated the template after it's first deletion. Please do not recreate it again (including under a different name); if you do, it would likely be protected from recreation. Repeated creation of speedily deleted content is considered disruptive. Thanks. – Mike.lifeguard  &#124; talk 14:56, 3 November 2007 (UTC)
