Welcome message
Hello, and welcome to Wikibooks!

Here are some tips to help you get started:
 * To learn the wiki-markup-language syntax, see Help:Editing.
 * Make sure to sign your posts and comments with four tildes, like this: &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126;
 * There is a box at the top of the edit window (if javascript is enabled on your browser) that will insert it too (looks like part of a signature). This will let others know who left it, and make it easy to reply back to you.
 * Remember to conduct any editing experiments in the sandbox.
 * You can tell the community something about yourself in your userpage.
 * You can get to this page by clicking the tab at the top of the page labeled with your registered username.
 * Wikibooks is a collection of open-source textbooks. (What is Wikibooks).
 * If you are 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 (requests for importation) 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 Reading Room with any questions or ideas.
 * Eventually, you might want to read the Manual of Style and Policies and Guidelines.
 * Help us by participating in policy and guideline creation.
 * 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 Reading Room, IRC channel or ask me personally on my talk page. For site news, see the Bulletin board. It might be a good idea to add that page to your "watchlist" so that you can see when any new information is posted there. You can do that by clicking the tab labeled "watch" at the top of the page.

Good luck! --Panic (talk) 19:35, 23 April 2009 (UTC)

Copyright violations
Similar images have been uploaded in the past, but unfortunately the non-commercial clause forbids their use on Wikibooks.

Should you have written permission from the authors to release them under the stated license, please provide a link to it, or, better yet, upload it to Commons and use the OTRS. --Swift (talk) 15:37, 28 April 2009 (UTC)


 * It was my understanding that this textbook and all its images are fair game under this clause: "You are granted permission for ... educational ... reproduction, distribution, display and performance of this work in any format."  Even so, the textbook authors directly gave permission to my instructor to use any of the textbook material for this project.--Zatore (talk) 15:23, 2 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Then I'm afraid that your understanding was wrong (well, depending on what you mean by "fair game" ... which, as far as I know, is not a legal term). The use of the textbook and images are restricted to non-commercial use. Wikibooks requires material to be uploaded under a license that allows for commercial use. You may wish to look into the Wikibooks' licensing. See Copyrights and Media.
 * Please contact the authors and ask them to re- or multi-license the material under a license which is compatible with Wikibooks' requirements. If they are interested in making the contents "fair game" in the sense that they are free for anyone to do as they like, then suggest that they release these into the public domain and upload them to Wikimedia Commons and use the OTRS to confirm their licensing.
 * Hope that helped. --Swift (talk) 00:25, 5 May 2009 (UTC)
