Wikibooks talk:Reading room/Assistance

Ask Questions and Get Answers Link
In the above, I click on "Use this link to ask questions and get answers." and it reverts here.

So I will ask my question here:

''question moved to Reading room/Assistance. --DavidCary (discuss • contribs) 17:09, 2 August 2013 (UTC)''


 * I had that same issue. It is not at all clear what "do not ask questions here" means, and where on the linked page one should post the question. After I familiarize myself more with the culture and norms and expectations of contributors, I look forward to seeing if I might be able to contribute some disambiguation and reduction of what seems complex and confusing where it probably could be made simple and straightforward by a few people who have the time and energy to help.
 * Your message was from 2013. Did you stick around and figure anything out? Do you have any suggestions on how it could be made simpler and make it easier for new contributors to be successful in posting questions in the proper place? Thanks! --Grayautumnday (discuss • contribs) 16:49, 4 May 2023 (UTC)

Invisible Changes? View history? In comment section too of all places?
I am wondering about something, I stumbled accross Wikibooks in connection with my quite uninformed obsession with the Windows Kernel. I appreciated a more general article here about the "Kernel". Did I understand what it is at all? There was a very minor discussion on the article going on__two opposing views__and I added my uninformed limited experience about my own encounter with a Win Kernel issue.

After that I admittedly forgot about it for a while, now I came back to check for a possible feedback, obviously hoping to learn, to be slightly surprised that neither the specific part in the article triggering the back-and-forth nor the comments on it are present anymore.

If this is really a Wikipedia project, this is not the transparency I am familar with on Wikipedia. If resulting in deletion, shouldn't there be a rule for that instead of simply burying it underneath "view history"?

What exactly is this about? what are the precise deletion rules? LeaNder22 (discuss • contribs) 16:09, 6 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Do you have any links to the pages you are discussing? Do you remember when this might have been approximately? —Justin ( koavf ) ❤T☮C☺M☯ 16:20, 6 October 2014 (UTC)
 * You have no deleted contributions and the page and talk page you have just commented on have never been deleted or had any revisions deleted (as can be seen from the deletion log). As a Steward I can also see the Suppression Log and there is nothing in that either. Therefore, if you did post a comment it must have been using a different account or when logged out. It must also have been to a different page to the one you remember as there are no deleted revisions. QuiteUnusual (discuss • contribs) 09:39, 7 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Easily solved - you are looking at the wrong page. You made your comment here while logged out. QuiteUnusual (discuss • contribs) 09:41, 7 October 2014 (UTC)

Wikibooks please provide Audio books
Hello Wikibooks thank you so much for the written books. I would like to propose for the Audio form of the books. Christmas videos (discuss • contribs) 20:24, 26 March 2022 (UTC)


 * I'm not aware of any spoken books on Wikibooks, but it would be fine for editors to create them. On Wikipedia there is w:Wikipedia:Spoken articles, which might interest you. -- Jules (Mrjulesd) 10:34, 27 March 2022 (UTC)
 * This is a subject of avid interest to me, as I'm plenty intelligent but can feel really dumb sometimes when I'm faced with a wall of text and no nonverbal context to help process the sterile words. I have studied and practiced a little on narration and voiceover in the past, so I look forward to adding some small test audio accompaniment accessibility expansion resources if the project I have in mind turns out to be a good fit for inclusion here on wikibooks. Mrjulesd - thank you for the reference to the Wikipedia resource, I'll follow the discussions and resources there as well! Grayautumnday (discuss • contribs) 16:53, 4 May 2023 (UTC)
