User talk:WietsE~enwikibooks

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! -- Herby talk thyme 12:04, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

RE: hiya, just wondering about the imports
Hi SBJohnny, I missed you on IRC where you mentioned: "it's a bit eerie importing your stuff by the way". Just wondering what you meant by that. I can see that it's quite a bit of work to import articles as big as some of those I've requested, but then I guess the subject I'm trying to cover in this book is huge. I'm currently focussing on the chapter on Holocaust victims, so won't request articles to be imported for a while. Cheers, WietsE 20:28, 15 December 2006 (UTC)


 * Oh no... it's not that :). Importing involves pressing a button, and just takes a few seconds. It's just that I do make a point to read the articles I import, and the ones I import for you give me the willies.
 * In grad school much of what I studied was 19th and 20th century German philosophy... particularly Husserl and Heidegger. And while it's very "meta-conversational", a quote (well, semi-quote... not gonna look it up now) from Heidegger made me see the Holocaust in a much more introspective way, in that it makes me more aware of our relationship with technology:
 * (Paraphrase quote): For the essence of technology, there is no difference between mechanized agriculture and the manufacture of corpses in the death camp.
 * This passage had such an effect on me that I am now an organic farmer, lovingly raising each plant and only selling my produce to people I know by name (BTW: you might know this, but Heidegger was a NAZI). So it's a bit eerie for me helping you to write your book, but I'm very glad you're writing it. -- SB_Johnny | talk 22:31, 15 December 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 WietsE. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name WietsE~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 23:51, 17 March 2015 (UTC)
