c. Tie a rowboat to a pier using each of the following
==4. Alone, or with the assistance of a person who is a swimmer, swamp rowboat, turn it right side up, get in, and with your hands or an oar, paddle it for 30 feet (9.1 meters). Tell why you should hang onto or get into a swamped rowboat. ==

Dory
Strictly speaking, the only true defining characteristic of the dory is that it is planked up with wide boards, "It should be well understood, that it is the dory's special mode of construction, not its hull shape, that sets it, and its related sub-types apart from other boats"

More generally speaking, the dory can be defined as a small boat which has:

 * a flat bottom, with the bottom planks fastened lengthwise (bow to stern).
 * a hull shape defined by the natural curve of a sawn plank (never steam bent).
 * planks overlapping the stem at the front of the boat and an outer 'false' stem covering the hood ends of the planks.
 * (with some exceptions) a fairly narrow transom often referred to as the 'tombstone' due to its unique shape.

The hullform is characterized by a bottom that is transversely flat and sometimes bowed fore-and-aft. (This curvature is known as 'rocker'.) The stern is frequently a raked surface (a narrow transom) that tapers sharply toward the bottom forming a nearly double-ended boat. The traditional bottom is made from planks laid fore and aft and not transverse, although some hulls have a second set of planks laid over the first in a pattern that is crosswise to the main hull for additional wear and strength.

Despite their simplicity of design, dories are well known for their seaworthiness and rowing ease. Because of their narrow bottoms, they do not exhibit much initial stability and have often been called 'tippy'. They exhibit high ultimate stability, however, tipping to a point and then stiffening up significantly and resisting further rolling tendencies. Dories by design are quite voluminous and can carry a heavy load for their size and will continue to retain their great ultimate stability even when heavily loaded.

A dory is a small, shallow-draft boat of approximately in length. Lightweight and versatile, these boats are used in the open sea for commercial fishing applications, as well as in whitewater rafting on interior rivers. McKenzie River dory versions usually seat from two to four people including the oarsman.

Dory Skiff
The "dory skiff" is another variation of the dory type. For inshore work the transom was widened, freeboard was lowered and more rocker introduced into the bottom making an exceptionally easy-to-row boat that was more stable (initial stability not ultimate stability) than their offshore cousins. However they are not as seaworthy as the Swampscott or Banks dories.

There are many types of Dory boats sometimes named after the towns they were designed and built in. The term skiff is used, and has been used, to refer to many various types of seemingly unrelated small boats.

One current usage of skiff is to refer to a typically small flat-bottomed open boat with a pointed bow and a flat stern originally developed as an inexpensive and easy to build boat for use by inshore fishermen. Originally designed to be powered by rowing, their form has evolved so that they are efficiently powered by outboard motors. The design is still in common use today for both work and pleasure craft.

Dinghy
A dinghy is a type of small boat, often carried or towed by a larger vessel. The term can also refer to small racing yachts or recreational open sailing boats. Utility dinghies are usually rowboats or have an outboard motor, but some are rigged for sailing. Because the smaller sailing dinghy responds more quickly to maneuvers, it is more suitable for beginner training in sailing than full-sized sloops.

Dinghies usually range in length from 2 to 6 meters. Larger auxiliary vessels are generally called tenders, pinnaces or lifeboats. Folding and take-down multi-piece (nesting) dinghies are used where space is limited. Some newer dinghies have much greater buoyancy, giving them more carrying capacity than older boats of the same size.

Punt
A punt is a flat-bottomed boat with a square-cut bow, designed for use in small rivers or other shallow water. Punting refers to boating in a punt. The punter generally propels the punt by pushing against the river bed with a pole.

Punts were originally built as cargo boats or platforms for fowling and angling but in modern times their use is almost exclusively confined to pleasure trips on the rivers in the university towns of Oxford and Cambridge in England and races at a few summer regattas on the Thames.

Pram
A pram is a small utility boat with a squarish rather than pointed bow. This type of pram provides a more efficient use of space than does a traditional skiff of the same size.

7. Identify and describe a tholepin rowlock, box rowlock, ring rowlock, and open top rowlock. Tell why pin-type rowlocks are not recommended.
A rowlock (British, pronounced /ˈrɒlək/) or oarlock (US) is a brace that attaches an oar to a boat. When a boat is rowed, the rowlock acts as a fulcrum, and, in doing so, the propulsive force that the rower exerts on the water with the oar is transferred to the boat by the thrust force exerted on the rowlock.

On ordinary rowing craft, the rowlocks are attached to the gunwales. In the sport of rowing, the rowlocks are attached to outriggers (often just called "riggers"), which project from the boat and provide better leverage. In sport rowing, the rowlocks are normally U-shaped and attached to a vertical pin which allows the rowlock to pivot around the pin during the rowing stroke. They additionally have a locking mechanism across the top of the "U" to prevent the oar from unintentionally popping out of the rowlock.

Originally rowlocks were two wooden posts that the shaft of the oar nestled between.

thole pin, a wooden pin fixed in the gunwale of a rowing boat to which, by means of a grommet, an oar is held when it is being pulled. A more usual method is to use two thole pins close together, with the oar between them.

Pin locks are not recommended because the oar could pop out and if the rower lets go could drift away. So having a ring lock or a clamp on top of a u lock would make rowing safer.

8. What is the advantage of feathering oars while rowing?
There is less wind resistance (drag). This increases your speed and increases your endurance. It will also reduce the likelihood of catching a crab in rough conditions (that is, catching the blade on the surface of the water as you try to bring it forward for the next stroke).

Wikibooks:Reading room/Administrative Assistance

__NEWSECTIONLINK__

Welcome to the Administrative Assistance reading room. You can request assistance from administrators for handling a variety of problems here and alert them about problems which may require special actions not normally used during regular content editing. Please be patient as administrators are often quite busy with either their own projects or trying to perform general maintenance and cleanup.

You can deal with most vandalism yourself: fix it, then warn the user. If there is repeated vandalism by one user, lots of vandalism on a single page, or vandalism from many users, tell an admin here, or in #wikibooks (say  to get attention).

For more general questions and assistance that doesn't require an administrator, please use the Assistance Reading Room.

Special:Contributions/45.224.182.210
Global contributions suggest possible xwiki abuse, please check their Wikijunior creations in this project. MathXplore (discuss • contribs) 01:21, 17 June 2024 (UTC)

User talk:Googletictactoe
Dear admins, I have 2 questions here. First, is this an acceptable usage of the user talk page feature? Second, is this username acceptable? The username is named after a famous company. MathXplore (discuss • contribs) 11:32, 6 July 2024 (UTC)

 * , No (the page has been deleted) and yes. Just because it's named after a company doesn't make it inappropriate. Leaderboard (discuss • contribs) 12:34, 6 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Yeah, not appropriate. I blocked them indef for their inappropriate username and the fact that they're clearly not here to build Wikibooks. --SHB2000 (discuss • contribs) 13:23, 6 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Perhaps I'm missing something, but why would "Googletictactoe" be inappropriate? I see it as no difference to something like "MicrosoftFan"... Leaderboard (discuss • contribs) 13:25, 6 July 2024 (UTC)
 * It's the name of an actual game (the name is very deceptive); I had to search this one up before blocking. --SHB2000 (discuss • contribs) 13:35, 6 July 2024 (UTC)

Protection for highly visible templates
I request the indefinite semi-protection of Template:Formatting (120+ tranclusions), Template:Featured book (150+ transclusions), Template:Navbox, Template:Anchor, Template:Nowrap, Template:Book search, Template:Mbox, and Template:Ombox (500+ transclusions).

Wikibooks:Requests for import

__NEWSECTIONLINK__

Importing and import uploading
To preserve edit histories and observe the attribution requirements of the licenses, content from our sister projects should be imported rather than simply pasted into a new module.

 * Importers can import pages from any of the English-language projects, Simple English Wikibooks, Meta, and Wikispecies.
 * Administrators, and import uploaders, can import from any wiki (even non-WMF).

Requests to import can be made to help in making or expanding a book, and to move works from other projects that fit Wikibooks' scope.

 * Place requests below and an administrator or importer will try to perform the import promptly.
 * Note that administrators and importers are not responsible for moving and cleaning up pages. Please watch this page for when the import is complete and take care of the imported page.

Administrators and importers:
 * Please read Help:Importing first.
 * To import a page, go to Special:Import.
 * Pages will by default import into, which can be moved to a new location.
 * After import, add dewikify to the page and make a note where the imported page has ended up.
 * Pages with extremely long edit histories may fail to import. In this case, a single revision which gives attribution to the source wiki will be imported. While this isn't ideal, it should satisfy our licensing. Note that repeated attempts to import may eventually bring over the history, so if it fails on the first attempt, you might want to try it a few more times. Please see bug 15000 (and vote for it to get it resolved sooner).

Non-free media uploading
Where non-free media is required in a book, editors may request an administrator or uploader to upload the file by making a request below. Please provide the non-free media rationale.

=Import and Merge= Use this section for imports that need to be "history-merged" with a module that has already been started using copy-paste.

Add requests using the form: *Project:Page name → Target Page ~

Templates for User:Arlo Barnes

 * w:en:template:interlinear → template:interlinear and associated subpages and module, as well as templates it is dependent on; started a copy-pasting of the pages and I continued before we were each separately alerted to the existence of this project page. There are no local changes that need to be preserved aside from customising to the ENWB environment, so perhaps this belongs in the subsequent section, but I put it here in case the existence of a previous copy-pasted page complicates the import technically. Thanks in advance. Arlo Barnes (discuss • contribs) 23:34, 20 February 2022 (UTC)

 * , I tried importing w:Module:Interlinear, but it wasn't very successful. I imported to the transwiki space to avoid over-writing of local templates/modules. The log is:

Presumably there was a lot of errors in the process. For example Module:Interlinear didn't import, and does not exist here at Transwiki:Interlinear, so there must have been errors in the import. I think many of these are module documentation templates/modules, so are not needed. How do you want to proceed? -- Jules (Mrjulesd) 22:58, 22 February 2022 (UTC)

zh:AI in Open and Distance Education
Does it fit here? Jusjih (discuss • contribs) 17:19, 28 June 2024 (UTC)

 * It doesn't look like a book? Leaderboard (discuss • contribs) 06:58, 5 July 2024 (UTC)
 * I think it as a book along with zh:Examples of AI use in Open and Distance Education.--Jusjih (discuss • contribs) 13:57, 5 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Is the thought that these could be expanded and combined into a new book? To me, neither seems sufficient to be a book on its own. Do you have a proposed book idea/outline and scope for these? Cheers! —Kittycataclysm (discuss • contribs) 14:12, 5 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Maybe import both pages and move them under Open and Distance Education?--Jusjih (discuss • contribs) 16:41, 14 July 2024 (UTC)

 * Please
 * Add your comment at the bottom unless it clearly goes under an existing heading
 * Sign and date your submission with four tildes ~, so that other readers know who said what and whom to ask about it (and whether it's so old that it may have been answered elsewhere)

How to add my comment at the bottom?
At the top of this page it explains how to add comments here. I suspect that this is a historic leftover from the days when one was not able to post using the Add topic available now (2024) at the top of every talkpage. For example my signature is now automatically added and I do not need to use ~

Should this explanation be removed? this is after all Talk:Main Page and btw I assume I am a "Autoconfirmed user"? Ottawahitech (discuss • contribs) 16:34, 24 January 2024 (UTC)

Welcome
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: ~~~~.
 * 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 13:04, 21 December 2006 (UTC)

Naming policy
Do take a look at the links above but I have moved Introduction to Game Theory:Short history to Introduction to Game Theory/Short history to comply with policy. Thanks -- Herby talk thyme 13:04, 21 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Again - I have moved Overview to Introduction to Game Theory/Overview where it should be. Given the possibilities for confusion I will delete the Overview page which has a redirect at present.  Thanks -- Herby  talk thyme 12:55, 22 December 2006 (UTC)

Thanks Herby. What is the easiest way to rename other pages which have a similar naming problem? -- Ad 14:32, 27 December 2006 (GMT)
 * The "move" tab works just fine as a way to rename stuff - regards -- Herby talk thyme 14:51, 27 December 2006 (UTC)

Thank you! Got all of the pages right in that book now :-) --AdRiley 16:06, 27 December 2006 (UTC)

 * Happy to help -- Herby talk thyme 16:07, 27 December 2006 (UTC)

Wikibooks Newsletter, Volume 1
(Wikibooks gazette home | Discuss | Bulletin board | Subscription list)

This is a short newsletter that is being distributed to all active wikibookians. You are getting this message because you are recognized as an established contributor to the project. This newsletter will be distributed on a regular basis to help share news, information, and tips. It comes from a bot account, User:The Staff. User:The Staff is currently operated by a team of wikibooks admins, the complete list of which is available on the user page of the bot. If you would like to not receive this newletter anymore, please remove your name from the list at Active wikibookians.

The work you do at Wikibooks is greatly appreciated. However there are plenty of other opportunities for you to get involved and help us to create a thriving Wikibooks community. We are sure that there are things we can do to help you and your understanding of Wikibooks and similarly there are certainly things you could do to help Wikibooks become a better place.

We would like to ask all wikibookians to add the Bulletin Board to your watchlists. The Bulletin Board is a fast and easy way for wikibookians to communicate important news and events to the entire community. If you have important news to share with the community, you can feel free to add your own entry to that page.

If you have general questions or comments about Wikibooks, you are welcome to post a message on The Staff Lounge, a free discussion area. Your input would also be welcomed in the Votes for Deletion and Requests for Adminship discussion pages. These pages are all active discussion areas that help to shape the Wikibooks community as a whole.

Sometimes it is easy to forget that the Wikibooks community is much larger and more diverse then the people who work in a single book, or on a single bookshelf. Hopefully, together we can all make Wikibooks a better place, and a more valuable educational resource.

Transwiki:Rational_choice_theory

Vandal
Thanks for that - short block. If you wish to it is advisable to "warn" folks who are vandalising - Template_messages/User_talk_namespace will give you some info. Equally feel free to "revert" any you see. Let me know if I can help - thanks -- Herby talk thyme 10:37, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

Thanks Herby. Yes I would have had a go at warning and reverting, but didn't have time. --AdRiley 12:40, 18 January 2007 (UTC)
 * No problem - thanks for the heads up anyway -- Herby talk thyme 13:02, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

Monopoly book
I like your outline so far, and I even left a few comments about the copyright issues that you asked about. I'll see if there are any changes that I could make about it later. --Whiteknight (talk) (projects) 00:31, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

Thanks
It is appreciated - if we all got stuck in the work would disappear! Good karma for you! -- Herby talk thyme 09:13, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Small amounts of work have rather more valued than large amounts of talking IMO! Thanks again, the help is worthwhile -- Herby  talk thyme 12:39, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
 * "Brownie points" again!! Thanks -- Herby talk thyme 17:24, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

Dichotomous Key
Thought it was time I did some work! Odd page, hard to know what to say about books that were actively contributed to and are then left. Almost looks more Wikispecies than here but all in all it looks useful if not up to current (I hope) wikibooks standards. Let me know if I can help & thanks for the continuing work - it is appreciated -- Herby talk thyme 11:10, 18 May 2007 (UTC)

Yeah I figured it sucks but I might as well suck it up and do some of it, the chess is by far the biggest mess so it's almost done, yay! Regards, Mattb112885 (talk) 16:03, 18 May 2007 (UTC)

Introduction to Game Theory
Here they are: Image:Game theory.JPG, Image:Prisonersdilemma.JPG. --Derbeth talk 20:28, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

Re: Jello
We actually do have a book here called Jello, it's one of several books created by that user which appear to be virtually identical. I also don't think that any of those books have been edited since the first day they were created, so it's a little suspicious. I wonder if the title is appropriate, but I dont know enough about the subject to be sure. --Whiteknight (Page) (Talk) 12:19, 2 November 2007 (UTC)

Vandal
In practice not an awful lot. If you are on IRC you can call for a steward. Your only other option is to put in an RfA!!! That way you get to deal with it. As far as I am concerned I would definitely support you - you are an established, trusted member of the community to me. It is stuff like that that drove me to my request coming up a year ago! Thanks & regards -- Herby talk thyme 12:33, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your help in cleaning up. I've removed the vandalism & reversion edits from the history of this page (although admins can see them). – Mike.lifeguard  | talk 14:53, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Thanks Mike --AdRiley 22:35, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

I hope this business of you commenting at WB:VFD becomes a regular thing. . . – Mike.lifeguard  | talk 03:45, 2 December 2007 (UTC)

My friend!
Thanks & dealt with - some folks just don't seem to grow up. Thanks for catching it, cheers -- Herby talk thyme 16:34, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

Merry Christmas
A Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all who watch this page. See you all next year if I don't get back before then. --AdRiley (talk) 07:57, 24 December 2007 (UTC)
 * And a great 2008 to you. Thanks for the message - dealt with, good wishes -- Herby  talk thyme 08:25, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

Tree of the Truth
Hello Rudolf0100. I've just been looking through what you have got in your book so far, and I am not sure whether it is appropriate content for wikibooks. Wikibooks is a place for textbooks, see What_is_Wikibooks for more details. Your book appears to be a fictional fairy tale / original work and, as such, not appropriate content. If you feel that you book does belong here then perhaps you need a explanation of why on the discussion page to explain what the book is about. Thanks --AdRiley (talk) 20:08, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

Hello!

Where to put the text when it is not suitable for wikibooks?

Wikisource?

Why in HUMANITIES/RELIGION there is a book called UTOPIA?

Compared to this, I thought Wikibooks is the right place!?

Thanks for your feedback!

Rudolf

 * Utopia appears to be a book about Utopianism (a topic which I am familiar with) and the book appears to be the start of a text book about the subject. Tree of Truth is not a subject I have come across and I didn't feel that the introduction made it clear that it was a textbook about an existing subject, but instead felt more like it was original work.  Wikiversity might be a more appropriate place if this is original work.  If you could give a brief expanation of what the book is, it might help to work out if it belongs here.  --AdRiley (talk) 21:48, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

Hello! I am definitely not the right person to discuss the strategy of the content of wiki books. My feeling was that UTOPIA is also a new text. If you advice to move the "Tree of the Truth" to Wiki source - it's fine with me. Pls. advice me finally.

I just check some chapters in Wikisource... Adding value to source texts Although Wikisource is not a place for editors to contribute new and original works, there are several ways to make original contributions by adding value to existing publications. Entirely new compositions written by contributors are not appropriate here, though they may have a place at other Wikimedia projects such as Wikibooks.

My target is to collect a many as possible translations of the base story and to motivate other wikians to contribute continuing stories. The main goal shall be clear: by gaining respect of each others religious behaviour there should be no reason for fundamentelism. This is a new text, not published so far.

Thanks. Rudolf 07th January 2008

 * Hey AdRiley, thanks for the message. This book looks to me like an allegorical attempt to explain religion, not necessarily religious-based fiction. I know the line between the two is narrow. Think of it like Aesop's fables, teaching important lessons using cutesy animal characters. Assuming the book is an allegorical way to discuss an academic topic (which might be the perfect way the approach the topic for some audiences, like young children), I'm inclined to be lenient on it for now. I personally would like to give it a chance to flesh out a little, so we can better see what the book is all about. I like to see new creative presentation methods, but I also realize that some of these are flirting with the boundaries of our inclusion criteria. If you do disagree with me on this, I definitely think we could start a discussion about it in the reading room or even on VFD. I'll leave it up to you. --Whiteknight (Page) (Talk) 15:59, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

 * As an addendum, maybe we could try moving the book to the "Wikijunior:" namespace, and trying to drum up some illustrations for it? These kinds of "bedtime story" books are acceptable in Wikijunior, and it might make an excellent illustrated text for children to learn about religions. Just a thought. --Whiteknight (Page) (Talk) 16:02, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

 * If you are looking for information about Wikijunior, User:Xixtas is probably the best person to talk to. He's been the most active over there for as long as I can remember. As far as setting up a bookshelf or whatever, I dont think that's strictly necessary. There are few enough wikijunior books that I think you can just put another book in there and list it like the other books are listed. The new title policy is out of date, and has basically been rejected. If you can't get ahold of Xixtas, I suggest you use your own judgement and do whatever you think is best. --Whiteknight (Page) (Talk) 22:35, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

Reading_room/General
You may be interested in this discussion. Please comment if you like. – Mike.lifeguard  | talk 21:40, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Yes I have been following it. I have been meaning to comment but I can't quite decide on my viewpoint...  I guess I would fall into the category of people who might potentially request these tools.  Rollback would certainly be useful and a would be happy to pitch in with patrolling the new pages.  However I have plenty to do around here without those tools and it still wouldn't allow me to block users who are vanalising in real time.  I have twice seen real time vanadlism and felt the frustration of not being able to stop it.  I wonder if I wanted to then perhaps I might get admin rights if I requested them (Herby said once that (s)he would support me) and I guess if I was going to request anything I would go for that.  I think perhaps I am falling on the side on those who think it is an over complication to things here, I understand your thinking but I think maybe the problem will be in who will have these rights? --AdRiley (talk) 22:28, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Well, these are all comments to make over there. I have some ideas about who should get them, but I think avoiding bureaucracy is very important here (just look at the mess enwiki made of this). The rights are really not a big deal, so I don't think we need to worry too much about having strict rules about who gets them etc. As for you requesting adminship, I have been wondering for a while whether you should get the bit. I imagine I'd support you (depending on a few factors, activity levels being one), but that's doesn't necessarily have any bearing on this discussion. The ability to hand out these rights would be of net benefit to the project, even if not in your particular case. If this goes through (and depending on the process we end up with for granting these rights), I'd give you both. This is not a bribe for you to side with me, but just an illustration that there are people that could help the project if given these tools. – Mike.lifeguard  | talk 22:36, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Yes my activity levels are a major factor in me not putting in an RFA, unfortunately real life can pull me away from time to time... I know being active is an important part of being an admin.
 * I will put my thoughts together and add my 2 cents to the discussion. --AdRiley (talk) 22:53, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

So are you going to put in a req for the new toys....:) If you won't do admin (fair enough) they would be in good hands with you.  Cheers -- Herby  talk thyme 17:03, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

 * Daft isn't it - in all the time I've seen you on at around the same times as me it has never dawned on me that you were UK based too :). I'd give you the rights now but I guess at least someone else should comment - cheers -- Herby  talk thyme 09:50, 23 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Maybe I'm just impatient. I've given you the bits. See you around! – Mike.lifeguard  | talk 15:10, 23 January 2008 (UTC)

No problem
You are so right but I doubt that will make a differences. Strange approach to ext links here! Regards -- Herby talk thyme 14:16, 14 January 2008 (UTC)
 * I hope it does. I acted rashly before; I don't even remember looking properly at the page, which is unusual of me..maybe I was in a rush :/ Ah well, I have voted for deletion now. - Anonymous Dissident  Talk 14:25, 14 January 2008 (UTC)

 * Congrats. Everyone is allowed in, but let me extend a particular invitation for you to join us in irc: #wikibooks is useful for both business and pleasure ;) Feel free to join us if you like. As well, if you need help with the buttons, let me know & I'll be glad to help if I can. — Mike.lifeguard | talk 03:27, 26 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks Mike. I don't think I have the time for IRC at the moment; the time have to spend on this project is farily limited and there is lots that I want to do.  But thanks for the invite and I'll keep it in mind.  I might take you up on the help with the buttons though.  I'll let you know how I get on.  --AdRiley (talk) 16:06, 27 June 2008 (UTC)

First sentences
In Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter, I will be manually editing "Severus Snape is the Potions teacher...," to "Severus Snape is the Potions teacher...", etc. on most pages (i.e. The first use of an article's title in that article will become plain bold instead of bold-italic). See here or here. Letting you know so you don't mistake the edits for vandalism. >>>Cysiro T / C 16:56, 10 July 2008 (UTC)

Irish/Lesson One
Woops, sorry about that. I fixed the problem though - I only meant to add a soundbite request but accidentally added in the German template (I was looking over the German book just beforehand). TheSun (talk) 16:35, 17 July 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for inviting
Thanks for inviting me in. I just introduced myself at the New Users page. I wish to get involved more. --Phoe6 (talk) 18:12, 19 July 2008 (UTC)

Oh, the irony!
Hi AdRiley, I'm glad you appreciated the irony of me not signing a post recommending that a post be signed. :-D I wish I could say I did that on purpose, but alas! I am not that clever! I did notice what I had done immediately after doing it, but decided to leave it alone. For the irony! --Jomegat (talk) 13:35, 1 August 2008 (UTC)

Designs
No I did not read the specifications of wikibooks real close. However, I think my designs could be quite helpful, especially as other people will modify the articles anyhow. Will the articles be deleted ? If not, I would want to add the rest of them (3 more) Hope its OK. I am cooperating with the creater of the Adventist Scouting Book; Jomegat (see my talk-page). I guess that we can alter the articles so that it may all work together and is no longer just "my model" but useful designs/howto info.
 * Please look at my talk page again; further questions/progress on subject.

Thanks; KVDP (talk) 08:08, 20 August 2008 (UTC)

User:Aram Pitts
I completely don't understand what you've done with this account. This is a vandalism-only account, with two independent series of vandalisms. It's more than naive to think that this user will ever use his "second chance". The only way of dealing with such cases in an instant infinitive block.

If you have checked this user's contributions (you should have done it if you block him), you'd see that as a result of previous too short block this vandal has come back and continued vandalisms. I believe that after your two-week block this vandal will come back and start moving another pages (he would be able to move semi-protected pages, because he has done enough "edits" to be no longer considered as a new user).

We have enough vandals not to shoot ourselves in the foot with such invalid blocks. --Derbeth talk 11:56, 12 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Just so you know, this is a pattern vandal who has been attacking many wikis of late. When you see pattern vandalism, reach for the indefblock. I also note that neither of you got his vandal image -- the way to fix those is delete everything, then restore everything but the bad versions. Alternatively, you can revert to a good version and delete the vandal version. Either way, it's not very user-friendly -- hopefully that (along with rollback for pagemove) will get fixed soon.
 * That said, we're a team for a reason. Nobody's perfect, so it's a learning experience. — Mike.lifeguard | talk 15:10, 12 November 2008 (UTC)

 * (diff) (hist) . . N Cookbook:Bay Leaf; 21:05 . . Redlentil (Talk) (Page started. Edited from wikipedia)
 * (diff) (hist) . . Programming:SQL; 21:05 . . Rwcitek (Talk) (link to MySQL)
 * (diff) (hist) . . N Cookbook:Bay Leaf; 21:04 . . Redlentil (Talk) (Page started. Edited from wikipedia)

Two pages with the same name are both new? Then I choose one, see what links to it, and... nothing! No pages link to Bay Leaf. Now, I know that isn't true, because I've seen a number of them.

BTW, just a moment prior I had trouble with a link remaining red in spite of a page existing. I had to re-edit the page containing the link to get the wiki to realize that the recently-created destination page existed.

 * I'll jump in here with an answer. The database at wikipedia has been having problems with new pages not showing up immediatly. If the same new page is saved twice, it appears twice on the new pages list, and the servers have also been having problems saving pages but not displaying the results.  As wikibooks is hosted on the same servers, it's likely that the same problems would appear here. Gentgeen 01:35, 2 Apr 2005 (UTC)

 * Same or similar thing has happened with Cookbook:Cheese where the link to Wensleydale cheese (another one of mine that didn't save properly first time) always goes to the editing screen. Anything we can do about it? Redlentil 09:51, 2 Apr 2005 (UTC)

 * Sorted it - re-edited referring page. Redlentil 18:21, 3 Apr 2005 (UTC)

pickle
If I asked for a "pickle" in your country (what country?), what exactly would I be most likely to get?

Note that, even if all non-USA English-speaking countries agree on this meaning, it is still strongly in the minority.
 * (in England) if you just asked for pickle you'd be asked what pickle you meant! Probably the most common pickle would be something like Branston pickle, or piccalilli (both too complicated to explain here). In India (to some extent an English speaking country) and the Indian diaspora Pickle covers a wide range of preparations, includling lime pickle, aubergine pickle and many more. Pickles, I believe, are very important in north european cuisine because of the need to preserve food through a long cold winter. So I think it's important to recognise the breadth of the term. Redlentil 07:58, 17 Apr 2005 (UTC)

 * Well this is unhelpful. (but I have a feeling that I would get a pickled cucumber if I refused to elaborate) The full variety is covered in the Cookbook:Pickling article. What you're saying boils down to this: you do not have a "pickle" in your country. The link from Cookbook:Pickle to Cookbook:Pickling (where this is explained) is thus sufficient. Any occurance of unadorned "pickle" in a recipe can not be British. In other words, you would have no reason to link to Cookbook:Pickle. You'd use "pickled spam" or somesuch. AlbertCahalan 16:38, 17 Apr 2005 (UTC)

 * Well, I disagree and now I have two choices. I can argue with you. Or I can walk away. Choice 1 is arguing with a stranger on the internet over the definition of pickle. Bye, then. Redlentil 18:42, 17 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Note that I'd be happy to argue over the definition of "pickle". It's nothing personal. While I doubt that you can change my mind, I encourage you to try. It's important that you would actually use the word of course. I know that I would never specify "add some picked food", because that's uselessly generic. (a pickled egg is nothing like a pickled pepper, and pickled herring is nothing like pickled cauliflower) A few realistic usage examples (not circular) would be helpful.

advertising + indexing
Hi! If you have some free time I'd appreciate hearing your opinion on Talk:Cookbook about the "advertising" on Cookbook:Vegan_Substitutions and on tagging each recipe with Category:Recipe (to create an index). This is buried in the "categorization proposal" section. Thanks! Kellen 00:58, 27 Jun 2005 (UTC)

poe tay toe
I kinda think the potato varieties should just be merged with the main potoato page, no? Kellen T 20:22, 18 August 2005 (UTC)

Wikibooks Newsletter, Volume 1
(Wikibooks gazette home | Discuss | Bulletin board | Subscription list)

This is a short newsletter that is being distributed to all active wikibookians. You are getting this message because you are recognized as an established contributor to the project. This newsletter will be distributed on a regular basis to help share news, information, and tips. It comes from a bot account, User:The Staff. User:The Staff is currently operated by a team of wikibooks admins, the complete list of which is available on the user page of the bot. If you would like to not receive this newletter anymore, please remove your name from the list at Active wikibookians.

The work you do at Wikibooks is greatly appreciated. However there are plenty of other opportunities for you to get involved and help us to create a thriving Wikibooks community. We are sure that there are things we can do to help you and your understanding of Wikibooks and similarly there are certainly things you could do to help Wikibooks become a better place.

We would like to ask all wikibookians to add the Bulletin Board to your watchlists. The Bulletin Board is a fast and easy way for wikibookians to communicate important news and events to the entire community. If you have important news to share with the community, you can feel free to add your own entry to that page.

If you have general questions or comments about Wikibooks, you are welcome to post a message on The Staff Lounge, a free discussion area. Your input would also be welcomed in the Votes for Deletion and Requests for Adminship discussion pages. These pages are all active discussion areas that help to shape the Wikibooks community as a whole.

Sometimes it is easy to forget that the Wikibooks community is much larger and more diverse then the people who work in a single book, or on a single bookshelf. Hopefully, together we can all make Wikibooks a better place, and a more valuable educational resource.

Got to say
Best edit summary I have read in ages - thanks for the smile!! Cheers -- Herby talk thyme 14:48, 27 January 2007 (UTC)

vandalism
Thanks for your help with reverting. I've removed the bad revisions from your userpage. – Mike.lifeguard  | talk 15:08, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

Cheers
It still needs lots more work though ... too bad I'm at work and can't spend too much time on it :) I'm going to try to get to more of the basic concepts (kneading, different grains, etc.) when I can! Wikidsoup (talk) 21:07, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

zuccini
I added some important information about this vegetable and I don't undeerstand why you took it off

Cookbook:A Nice Cup of Tea
Thanks for the spelling fix and especially the compliment. I had visited the page, saw it was pretty pathetic (and "wrong" about the preparation method besides). I checked the history and saw a much more interesting prior version had once existed, but it really didn't read like a recipe. So then I went to work merging and expanding the two styles into a full article. I think that was my first WikiBooks rewrite, and I'd appreciate any feedback you care to offer as to how I did on matching it to the WikiBooks style. I've mostly edited the English Wikipedia, and I know the two styles are different. I'd rather make adjustments to my styles here before I develop any bad habits. :-) --Willscrlt (Talk·Cntrb ) 01:38, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

 * Haha. I hadn't noticed the edit history enough to know you were one of the main contributors initially. I'm glad I didn't say anything embarrassing. :-) Actually, I really liked what you wrote, but it just didn't feel like a recipe. And then the revision didn't really give a fair treatment to proper tea preparation. I used to be a tea bag "jiggler" for a long time. To me, the faster the tea looked right, the better. Then I started actually visiting tea shops, talking to the people there, and I tried it their way. I really appreciate a Nice Cup of Tea now, prepared the proper way, of course. Sure, in a pinch, pop a tea bag in a cup of water, microblast it for a minute, jiggle the heck out of the bag for 15 seconds, and get your blast of caffeine, but it's not a Nice Cup of Tea. As to green tea... It was only after talking to the owner of a popular local Japanese market for nearly 10 minutes about the fine art of brewing Japanese green tea, that I was able to get the hang of brewing it well. Price does make a difference, but before spending a lot of money on good tea, try to find someone very familiar with the tea and ask their advice on preparing it. Also, adding some puffed rice to the leaves gives a milder, nutty flavor that I like. It's referred to as "genmai-cha" then. You can find ready-made mixes, but the flavor is not quite as balanced, and the lower-priced green tea used in the mix tends to be more bitter. Since the good Japanese teas are usually vacuum sealed into something like a compressed brick, it last longer, thus the price difference isn't as much as it might seem at first. And the toasted rice is inexpensive. If you want to have another interesting conversation with a Japanese market owner, ask about how to prepare miso. That's another thing you can prepare badly and end up with something edible, but not enjoyable, or you can prepare it the right way, and end up with something almost divinely delicious, nutritious, and healthy. Shopkeepers in the smaller specialty markets are a wonderful wealth of information. Have a great rest of your weekend! --Willscrlt (Talk·Cntrb ) 12:55, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

Nice work
I've been seeing a few of your edits to the cookbook, and a few of your vandalism reverts. Very nice work! Are you, by any chance, interested in being a Rollbacker? I would like to nominate you for that (and maybe Page Patroller too), if you're interested. Let me know! --Whiteknight (Page) (Talk) 21:27, 24 September 2008 (UTC)

Wikibooks:Wikibooks for Wikimedians

Wikibooks is one of many Wikimedia Foundation projects. Wikibooks is different from many of the other projects in that Wikibooks focuses on writing books rather than single pages. Wikipedia, Wikiquote, and Wiktionary can each be thought of as hosting a single book for instance. Keeping this in mind should help you to understand many of Wikibooks' differences. This page is intended to help answer some frequently asked questions that people familiar with other Wikimedia projects ask and to help you become more familiar with Wikibooks' policies, guidelines and culture in the hopes that you might become a Wikibookian as well.

Wikibooks is closely related to Wikipedia, but it's not part of Wikipedia
The most striking differences between Wikipedia and Wikibooks have to do with the nature of the projects. Encyclopedia articles and textbooks simply aren't the same things.

Textbooks vs. articles

 * Wikibooks are supposed to be Textbooks, meaning that they are intended to facilitate teaching an area of knowledge.
 * Textbooks are self-contained, meaning that the chapters link to each other internally, but not to other wikibooks.
 * Textbooks have chapters, subchapters, and pages. A textbook should have navigation between its pages, a Table of Contents, and other book-like resources (glossary, appendices, etc).
 * Textbooks are not supposed to be collections of individual articles, but are supposed to have a unifying theme and narrative.
 * Textbooks shouldn't just include facts. A book needs to present those facts in a way that will be understandable by its target audience.

Wikibooks uses wikilinks conservatively

 * As a general rule, Wikibooks pages don't contain as many links as Wikipedia articles. This is because a book is supposed to be a self-contained resource with a contiguous narrative. Links to all sorts of outside places can, furthermore, serve as a distraction. Links to other resources should usually be placed in a separate resources or bibliography section at the end of the book or page.
 * Avoid making red-link references on Wikibooks. While it may sometimes be useful on Wikipedia to make red-links to articles that aren't written yet but would make a useful reference, on Wikibooks they should only be made to pages that fit in with the overall structure of that book.
 * External linking should also be exercised sparsely. If technical terms are used which may be unfamiliar to the book's target audience, you may link to an external source about the term. Note, however, that Wikibooks are not created only for use on this medium, but may be published in other forms (such as off-line or printed) where these links will not work. Please also be careful when doing this, as a link to a non-existent or misspelled Wikipedia article will not come up red on Wikibooks. Make sure to follow the link, see that it works properly, doesn't lead to a disambiguation page, etc.
 * To link to a Wikipedia article, use the form, where " " is the prefix for Wikipedia.  (There are other prefixes for other Wikimedia projects).  Do not use the external link form . Any text after the pipe will render as linked text. The previous example renders as "text you want".
 * If the text you want to display is the same as the linked article title, then you can use the pipe trick. Type  .  When there is a link to an article, but no text after the pipe, the name of the page will be displayed (without the   prefix).  The previous example renders as "Article title".
 * The templates Wikipedia and Wikipedia-inline are also helpful. For more information on interwiki linking, see Help:Interwiki linking.

Wikibookians take a different approach to many things

 * Where is the village pump?
 * See the reading room.

 * Where are the WikiProjects?
 * Some can be found at WikiProject. For ones that do not exist, a place to start a discussion on creating one would be the projects reading room.

 * Why do my pages need to be "de-wikified"?
 * Any old word is unlikely to point to anything because Wikibooks' naming conventions differ from Wikipedia's. Also, books tend to collect most external links and resources together into a centralized bibliography. See Dewikify for details.

 * What are the naming conventions?
 * The main page of a book is generally named "Book Name", while subpages are generally named "Book Name/Sub Page", or "Book Name/Chapter/Sub Page". Wikibooks does not use the Wikipedia-style disambiguation convention of "Book Name (Page Name)"

 * Where are the disambiguation pages?
 * Disambiguation pages are only used in a limited way in the Cookbook. Organizational pages (such as shelves) are used to list similar books.

 * What are Wikibooks' policies? How do policies differ from Wikipedia's?
 * There are many differences, some big, some small. If you are interested in policy, see The complete list of current Wikibooks policies. Wikibooks tends to be more minimalist than Wikipedia is, so the number of policies that we have is far smaller than Wikipedia.

 * What is the recommended style for making and editing books?
 * There is no single style, but we do have some recommendations that we suggest for new Wikibookians. Look them over, but remember, these are just guidelines. As an author or an editor, you are given many freedoms in designing your books. Where authors disagree, you must work towards consensus. Some of our books have individual style guides (local manuals of style) to try to keep things consistent within one book.

 * Who decides the format/layout/audience/style/navigation/etc of a new book? Is there a single "right way?"
 * Who makes the decisions about a book? You do! Authors are given a broad range of freedoms and liberties when it comes to writing books. We ask that all the pages in a single book are formatted the same, in order to give the book unity and continuity. Different books have different target audience, and the style of each book should be adapted for its particular target audience, so different books adopt different styles.

 * What is the policy on importing articles from Wikipedia to Wikibooks for use as textbook chapters?
 * Request the article be imported, then follow the instructions that will be added to the imported page.

 * How do I cite sources or include references?
 * Most books, if they cite sources at all, gather all citation references in a single biographical type page, similar to what is commonly done in dead-tree books. See Manual_of_Style.

 * Why do some books look a lot like Wikipedia articles?
 * Some pages have been imported from Wikipedia, but not yet rewritten into proper books. You can help!

How you can help

 * What kinds of cleanup tasks are there to do here on Wikibooks?
 * Wikibooks has many of the same tasks as Wikipedia does. Pages can be categorized, pages can be improved (edited, corrected, expanded), vandalism can be reverted, double-redirects can be removed... and the list goes on and on. For a listing of tasks that you can do, see Wikibooks Maintenance.

 * How can I get involved?
 * There are many ways to get involved at Wikibooks. Most discussions about policy and structure can be found in the Reading Room where people can ask and answer questions. There are always good books to look through in Featured Books, where the community gets together and focuses on what books should be considered good models for other books to follow. Most of our debates about acceptable content on Wikibooks take place on the requests for deletion page.
