Images
Also, I wanted to let you know that we have a Math Extension so that you can write equations directly into the text of a page, without having to upload pictures for each equation. I think that might be easier for you. Let me know if you have any questions. --Whiteknight (Page) (Talk) 00:31, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

Re:Tables
Tables are a little tricky, and at the moment we don't have a good resource available right now to explain it. I'll try to write up a reference about it tonight while I am thinking about it, and I will send you the link when it's prepared.

Tables in wikitext are very similar to tables in HTML. In fact, if you know it, you can write tables directly in HTML if you are so inclined. To write a wiki-table, you first create a table using {| and |}. A row in a table is shown with a |- , and an individual cell is written with a single  |. Here is a quick example:

Which produces this table:

If you want to be more fancy, you can add a special tag to the table to make it more "pretty":

Which produces this:

This is just the tip of the iceberg, but I hope it gets you started. Like i said, I'm going to try to write up a good resource for it, and I'll give you a link when I have it. --Whiteknight (Page) (Talk) 22:16, 2 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Here is the page i've been working on: Wikitext/Tables. If you are looking for something more simple, I think you are out of luck. If you upload the raw HTML table you have generated, I can use a bot to convert it into a more compact wikitext format. If you do not know how to do that, you can email me the code and I will try to pick through it for you. I hope this helps. --Whiteknight (Page) (Talk) 23:33, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

Re:Donation
I love book donations! We have set up an informational page at WB:DONATE. If you are the author, or if you have the ability to release the book under a particular copyright license, then we can easily accept the donation. I will send you an email, you can reply with the files. I look forward to seeing your books! --Whiteknight (Page) (Talk) 23:40, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

Re:No Progress.
You're right about the lack of progress, and I want to apologize for the delay. I will focus my attentions on this 100%. --Whiteknight (Page) (Talk) 00:10, 7 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Okay, I have made the conversion, and uploaded much of the text. I need to go back and replace some of the older text to make it look nicer (the new versions, especially the new tables are very nice looking). None of the images from the later chapters have been uploaded nor inserted into the text. I will try to do that as best as I can (you can certainly help out with the image uploading). Proof read things to make sure that the formatting and everything turned out alright. --Whiteknight (Page) (Talk) 04:57, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

Image license templates
Please go back and tag all your uploads which don't have license templates. I realize that they're all appropriately licensed, but you need to add the template. I recently ran a bot to tag almost 60 of your uploads, but the rest you'll have to clean up yourself, or I will delete them one week after the upload date. If you have questions or concerns about this, please ask on my talk page. – Mike.lifeguard  &#124; talk 16:30, 23 January 2008 (UTC)

maths markup
G'day, I just replaced a couple of images on Biogeochemical Selectiveness of Cedars Over Metamorphic Rocks of the Escambray Complex, Sancti Spíritus, Cuba/Vegetation with some maths markup. This is generally preferred for formulae on wiki pages, because the rendering is sorted by the wiki per the user's preferences, and is often clearer. You can read about it here: m:Help:Displaying a formula. If I get a chance, I'll sort out the other images on that page - unless you beat me to it! Webaware talk 12:30, 31 January 2008 (UTC)


 * I've actually gone through and updated the remainder of the equation images on this page to be text-based math formulas instead. Take a look at the formatting of these, and double check that all the translations are accurate. Also, make sure that you like the formatting (I think this version is better). There are always improvements that can be made. --Whiteknight (Page) (Talk) 14:55, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
