Onikoyi the founder of Ikoyi Ile in Oyo empire
Hi community, my name is Timi and I'm the vice President of [https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia%20UG%20Nigeria/Osun%20Network%20https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia%20UG%20Nigeria/Osun%20Network Osun Wikimedia Network] I want to inform you that I'm currently planning to carry out a community project on wikibooks where I and my community members would edit English wikibooks to [[Yoruba]] an indigenous language of more than 48 million people West African ethnic group who mainly inhabit parts of Nigeria, Benin, and Togo. I need your advice and encouragement in carrying out this Project.[[User:OTim75|OTim75]] ([[User talk:OTim75|discuss]] • [[Special:Contributions/OTim75|contribs]]) 09:31, 14 May 2024 (UTC)
:this project only accepts books written in English. It can't accept books written in Yoruba. The correct approach is to request a new language Wikibooks. The place to do that is on Meta, [[m:Requests for new languages]].

The proposal is that Wikibooks Contributors write a guide on how to use LLM generative text tools 'responsibly'.

Hi there,

I'm seeking on creating a [[Physics Explained Through a Video Game|new textbook]] on Wikibooks concerning mechanical physics as explained through Bonk.io. To note, Bonk.io is a multiplayer physics game and runs on [[wikipedia:Box2D|Box2D]], a common video game physics engine. Also, Bonk.io has its user-generated content as freely licensed, making it possible a wide variety of different physical situations provided attribution.

My intentions here are to use images and videos of Bonk.io gameplay to explain real-world physics concepts, including through instructional content, labs, and detailed exercises. To note, I have a limited background on this subject as I've only taken high school leveled physics and [[wikipedia:AP_Physics_C:_Mechanics|AP Physics C: Mechanics]], and I'm still in high school currently. I am curious whether others with more experience in this community would be interested in this project.

For reference, my original contributions for this project, specifically building most of [https://bonkio.fandom.com/wiki/Physics,_Explained_Through_Bonk.io/Unit_1 Unit 1] and starting [https://bonkio.fandom.com/wiki/Physics,_Explained_Through_Bonk.io/Unit_2 Unit 2] were written a community under Fandom, Inc. I'm seeking to move my own contributions from the Fandom website and onto this community and continue them here. To clarify, I am the only contributor of the units of which I am seeking to move.

In large part, my goal is to reach readers from outside of a niche video game community. Secondly, I strongly feel that Wikimedia platform provides a more robust editor and has a better overall user experience than Fandom.

With this in mind, I'm unsure of where to proceed. I understand that this topic may be more adequately suited for Wikiversity and I've already have [[wikiversity:Wikiversity:Colloquium#Seeking_to_Explain_Basic_Physics_With_a_Bouncy_Ball_Video_Game|spoken]] to [[wikiversity:User:Koavf|koavf]] (a curator and custodian on Wikiversity) about the feasibility of continuing my project there. At the same time, however, I understand that there exists a greater community presence here. Also, the content of which I've written may fit better being considered as a textbook than as general courseware.

As such, I have a couple of questions:

* Would this project be more suitable on Wikibooks than Wikiversity?
* If so, would it be necessary to rewrite the content of which I've already written on the Fandom, Inc. community? Or would it be possible to just provide attribution for the reused content under their CC-BY-SA policy?

Thank you in advance.

Best regards,

:For context, [https://en.wikiversity.org/w/index.php?title=Wikiversity:Colloquium&oldid=2636019#Seeking_to_Explain_Basic_Physics_With_a_Bouncy_Ball_Video_Game conversation at Wikiversity].
:Wikiversity spun out of Wikibooks, so the relationship between the two is a little close or sometimes a little confusing. If your goal is to end up with a specific manual, guide, or textbook, then this the appropriate site. If your goal is to have a broader learning course that has external links, activities, online quizzes, etc., then it would belong at Wikiversity. You could have a textbook here and learning activities there as well. As far as licensing, the issues are all the same as at Wikiversity, as both projects have the same license. —[[User:Koavf|Justin (<span style="color:grey">ko'''a'''vf</span>)]]<span style="color:red">❤[[User talk:Koavf|T]]☮[[Special:Contributions/Koavf|C]]☺[[Special:Emailuser/Koavf|M]]☯</span> 00:00, 6 July 2024 (UTC)
::Thank you for more clearly linking the conversation that we had.
::As another question, would it be possible to have one of my filtered edits on here (Wikibooks) to be looked at? Here's the [[Wikibooks:Edit filter/False positives#TheMonkeyEatsBananas|false positive request]] that I made.
::To note, (though unrelated to the filter) I understand that there may be further changes necessary with this edit, such as to better meet the [[Wikibooks:Manual of Style|Manual of Style]] and other guidelines here. This would include needing to update the font colors and importing more of the videos/images, which I plan on getting around to.
