Check out an organic chemistry textbook (http://test.wikipedia.org/wiki/Organic_textbook) under development
Hi there. Welcome to Wikipedia! The welcoming committee will be along shortly with fizzy drinks etc. Just a brief note: when there are several names for something, we don't make duplicate articles; instead, choose on the most suitable name and make the others into redirects. I've done that to SN1 reaction, like this:
 #REDIRECT SN1

Wikipedia isn't for textbooks, such as the one you've created at Organic textbook. We are an encyclopedia, not a textbook. However, if you wanted to, you could create a list of links to articles about organic chemistry at something like List of organic chemistry topics. There, you could link to articles in an order suitable for being a textbook. I've listed your organic textbook page at Wikipedia:Votes for deletion.LittleDan 19:57 6 Jun 2003 (UTC)

If you want to create an online textbook try April's simple science wiki. Youl find it here http://www.renaissoft.com/april/cgi-bin/wiki.pl Theresa knott 13:17 9 Jun 2003 (UTC)


My pleasure copyediting Seven habits (or any other article for that matter, it's become a hobby) but I was looking back over it and noticed at the end that the principles are divided into "two groups", but it's kind of unclear which is the first and which is the second group. Hephaestos
I noted that you left a message for me asking if I'd help with your project. But as I came here, I can see that your original plan to make it a part of Wikipedia won't go with the general Wikipedia plan. So what I'll say is that, when it's decided what form your textbook will take, let me know.

Right now I'm pretty busy with some other stuff I'm adding to Wikipedia, so unless I get specific messages directed to me, I'll just lay low regarding the textbook project.

Hi, I read your message on the mailing list about a unified search and wondered if this thing (http://www.seeatown.com/search/) that LMS put together might fit the bill for you. I've been using it for a while now. It doesn't have Wiktionary on it yet but I'll bet he'd put it there if we ask (probably dictionary.com too). - Hephaestos 15:58 25 Jun 2003 (UTC)

Thanks Hephaestos, I checked it out ... hey, thats one of the guys that founded WP ... BTW I went back and fixed up the language on the Seven Habits[?] site re your comments, thanks again.


This guy has a great idea. I suffer paying up to $1,000.00 a year for books for information that I can find out there on the web. I would support any and all efforts to share the lore of human knowledge with the masses. Best wishes, Karlwick! [Edited by MDR].


I like the textbook idea, but I wouldn't put it on test.wikipedia.org if I were you. It's often not working, and don't be too surprised if that database gets deleted occasionally. -- Tim Starling 17:00 5 Jul 2003 (UTC)

Thanks, I moved it here (http://meta.wikipedia.org/wiki/Organic_chemistry) to the meta page. Hopefully the real subdomain will be up soon ... Karlwick
