Conflict Resolution

your page on conflict Resolution has a passage which uses pick-up artistry as an example. It's pretty lame.73.37.53.57 (discuss) 21:42, 27 February 2023 (UTC)

Don't think calling a passage "lame" is going to help us improve it. —Atcovi (Talk - Contribs) 22:37, 27 February 2023 (UTC)

Sorry. I mean to say that the page is off topic. I was just a little frustrated that it's about something I have a very low opinion of. 73.37.53.57 (discuss) 01:47, 28 February 2023 (UTC)

If you have ideas on how to improve it, you're more than welcome to work on it yourself! We are always happy to have people working on and updating wikibooks :) —Kittycataclysm (discuss • contribs) 13:23, 28 February 2023 (UTC)

Helper a math author for the book

Hello, I want to select several users to hire math authors for my book, please help. Mohammad.Hosein.J.Shia (discuss • contribs) 18:40, 19 April 2023 (UTC)

Are you trying to write a book here on Wikibooks or somewhere else? —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 00:33, 20 April 2023 (UTC)

No, I want to hire a writer for a supplementary mathematics book. Mohammad.Hosein.J.Shia (discuss • contribs) 08:33, 20 April 2023 (UTC)

Hire? As in pay to write a book here? That's not allowed. Hired to work for you outside of Wikibooks? No, we can't help and you cannot solicit here. MarcGarver (discuss • contribs) 11:04, 20 April 2023 (UTC)

No I mean someone help me here and contribute. Mohammad.Hosein.J.Shia (discuss • contribs) 14:01, 21 April 2023 (UTC)

@Mohammad.Hosein.J.Shia Do you mean you want to hire (i.e. pay) people to develop this book with you? Or, do you mean you want to recruit other editors to help you work on the project? There is an important difference between the two—as @MarcGarver said, the first is not allowed. —Kittycataclysm (discuss • contribs) 17:42, 21 April 2023 (UTC)

The second comment you gave -Mohammad.Hosein.J.Shia (discuss • contribs) 02:49, 22 April 2023 (UTC)

I suggest that new policy / guidelines are needed to add into Wikibooks policy Wikibooks:Policies and guidelines

(1) No solicitation of paid work: All contributions (in any forms such as creating new page , edit pages) made to the Wikibooks must be done in voluntarism spirit and without any expectation of financial compensation.

(2) No self - promotions or advertisements: The Wikibooks should be a platform for sharing information, not a place to promote personal websites, businesses products, services, or individuals. This means that any promotional content, including links or mentions of products or services, should be avoided and banned if found. Any information shared in Wikibooks should be objective and focused on providing helpful, relevant content to the community.

(3) Transparency: If a contributor is found to be soliciting paid work or engaging in any other form of self-promotion, they should be transparent about their intentions and immediately remove any inappropriate content.

(4) Bias : The Wikibooks should be driven by the community, with contributions coming from a wide range of individuals with diverse backgrounds and perspectives. This helps to ensure that the content remains unbiased and relevant to the community as a whole.
