RE:Welcome!
Now that you mention it.... what is the difference between wikibooks and this, I mean i found tutorials in wikibooks, shouldn't they be here? I apologize for any grammar mistakes.. also.. ROFL! --Sistemx 19:16, 1 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Well I think I know the difference between wikibooks and wikiversity but I know plenty of wikibook articles that should be here instead of there... Can I massive transfer the articles?! lol jk. --Sistemx 19:24, 1 December 2011 (UTC)
 * for example there are tutorials in wikibooks about rubik's cube. (there are also at wikipedia!) PD: Yes I like rubik's cube!! (I olny know 3x3x3 :/ but im learning...) --Sistemx 19:29, 1 December 2011 (UTC)

Thanks!, is still got some doubts.... Especifically, What should I submitt here that I shouldn't submitt in wikibooks? and vice-versa.

Thanks
Thank you, Happy Camper, for your greetings! I think I am one of those "incremental" page editors. Ususally, I start finding my typos seconds after pushhing the "save page" button. (I have lost several hours of work before I learned how to navigate back from the "preview" screen.) Ray Calvin Baker 00:23, 29 November 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for the tip on using the "watch this page" button. I'm sure that that feature will help me a lot to find other contributers for articles of mutual interest.

I noticed that you have gotten a note from another Rubik's Cube fan. I'd like to say "hello!". How should one (I, me) go about consolidating material on a given topic?

I'm also exploring the dialects of the "BASIC" language family. There seems to be a fair-sized community for this topic, also. I found the "QB64" site on Wikipedia, and am delighted with the compiler I downloaded.

In all of my years of computer programming, what I have missed most is helpful tips from others who were just too shy to mention something. What is "obvious" to you may easily be something I have not even heard of yet. "Be BOLD!"

You asked me if the book on Rubik's Cube is complete. Yes, at least ninety-five per cent complete. It contains text diagrams to help explain the notation I created.

An attentive, industrious reader should be able to solve a standard Cube by using the material presented. I wrote the material for upper primary/middle school level students. Chapter Ten is a brief summary of the methods I use myself. Using the "cheat sheet" from this chapter, I can usually solve a scrambled Cube in less than ten minutes (certainly no world speed record!). I need to use the methods I describe to find how to solve a sub-group which is not visible on a standard Cube (This will be Chapter Eleven). Chapter Twelve is intended as a place for the reader to include his/her own "improvements" on my crude methods.

I intend to make a complete revision of the work ASAP. Obviously, some of the techniques I used did not fare well when "Wikimedia-fied". My diagrams were especially sensitive to misinterpretation by the upload processes I used. Ray Calvin Baker 23:37, 1 December 2011 (UTC)

Scrapbook
Just wondering.. where is your scrapbook? --Sistemx LET'S TALK! 17:02, 2 December 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for the W/B :)
I'm looking around, and most of the names I don't recognize -- but it's good to be back, and I thank you for the re-welcome. Historybuff 07:25, 5 December 2011 (UTC)

Did I do this correctly?
I do not know where to go or who I should ask for help. Since you're a custodian, I though that maybe you could help me. I created Topic:Comics Code Authority and I am not sure if I did correctly. I am also not sure what pages are the most important to read for new editors. Joe Chill 18:35, 11 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the help. I appreciate it. Joe Chill 21:20, 11 December 2011 (UTC)

Re: Welcome
Thanks for the welcoming message. I hope I have enough time to actually develop something. See you around! Fabianhjr 15:17, 20 December 2011 (UTC)

Deletion of website
Noticed you deleted this page (which I totally support), should I go ahead and delete the RfD discussion I had started earlier today? If you haven't seen it and are willing to act unilaterally, there are like 4 other similarly useless and spammy pages promoting the same website, all noted there on the RfD.

Wikiversity vs. Wikipedia
I read the FAQ, but I'm still a bit confused, what is the difference between a Wikiversity and a Wikipedia page, at least for the humanities? Wikipedia can explain a topic pretty well, and is easy to learn from, how should Wikiversity differ? I started writing ufology but it kept seeming like I'm just writing a Wikipedia page that probably has already been written. Btw, I just found out there is already a page @ talk:UFO research, what should I do about that since I already started writing not knowing there was a similar (but misnamed?) page?

licensing issue, help
hi HappyCamper, could you please take a look at the licensing issue at User_talk:Egm4313.s12, and let me know the fact about the dual licensing. below is the template that i have been using for several years:

which was based on the template MultiLicenseWithCC-BySA-Any.

then a bot changed my licensing template to the template below:

when i began to use the bot's template, the licensing issue came up as documented in User_talk:Egm4313.s12.

thanks. Egm6322.s12 15:58, 13 January 2012 (UTC)

Hello
Hey dude most of the information I put on all those page I made were from what we are learning in school.

Only when I felt lazy I copyed and pasted otherwise I just used what we learned in school. Also what is a Transwiki importersAlgamicagrat (talk) 15:22, 28 January 2012 (UTC)

Hi there
... and thanks for the welcome. I want to get started by using a subpage to my user page for an e-learning course first: it'll be a way to teach a group of postgraduate researchers the wiki way and who knows, perhaps some of them find their way back here. Cheers from Berlin --MSB 21:23, 28 January 2012 (UTC)

Custodianship
Hello HappyCamper, I've been a probationary custodian for a while now. Is it necessary or appropriate to request full custodianship? My mentor, Draicone, hasn't been active for a couple of months. He told me to consider choosing a new mentor. What would you advise? Kind regards, Mathonius (talk) 19:06, 6 April 2012 (UTC)


 * I've replied on my talk page. Regards, Mathonius (talk) 09:10, 13 April 2012 (UTC)

Request permission to create my user page
Hi! My name is Jonathan Holland. I edit Wikipedia anonymously under a different username, but would like to participate in Wikiversity under the username "Maknongan". Somewhat unfortunately, I seem to be unable to create my user page to offer more information about myself. Is there any possibility that you could help with this? Thanks, Jonathan Holland aka Maknongan (discuss • contribs) 13:14, 3 June 2018 (UTC)

How we will see unregistered users
Hi!

You get this message because you are an admin on a Wikimedia wiki.

When someone edits a Wikimedia wiki without being logged in today, we show their IP address. As you may already know, we will not be able to do this in the future. This is a decision by the Wikimedia Foundation Legal department, because norms and regulations for privacy online have changed.

Instead of the IP we will show a masked identity. You as an admin will still be able to access the IP. There will also be a new user right for those who need to see the full IPs of unregistered users to fight vandalism, harassment and spam without being admins. Patrollers will also see part of the IP even without this user right. We are also working on better tools to help.

If you have not seen it before, you can read more on Meta. If you want to make sure you don’t miss technical changes on the Wikimedia wikis, you can subscribe to the weekly technical newsletter.

We have two suggested ways this identity could work. We would appreciate your feedback on which way you think would work best for you and your wiki, now and in the future. You can let us know on the talk page. You can write in your language. The suggestions were posted in October and we will decide after 17 January.

Thank you. /Johan (WMF)

Activity Review
Wikiversity has adopted a policy that expects users with administrative rights to be active participants and to regularly use those rights (at least five edits and five actions within the last 12 months). It appears that you are no longer active at Wikiversity and do not currently have a need for administrative rights.

If you would prefer to retain your administrative role, please rejoin us with your contributions and support. If your account remains inactive, we will need to request that stewards remove your administrative rights. Let me know if you have any questions, and thank you for your previous efforts on our behalf.
