维基教科书用来收集内容开放教科书

本页面试图对维基百科书是什么、不是什么、以及它和其他维基媒体基金会的项目之间的区别加以定义。本页面中的描述是一种相对的共识。具体的讨论或者提出反对意见应在讨论页进行。

目录

[编辑] 维基教科书是什么

教科书这个词在英文中是“textbook”,可以有多种含义,因此本文就是要清楚地描述什么样的内容可以被维基教科书接受。例如“陆游全集”可能在中文系的课程里面作为教学参考书,但这样的文本并不适合这个网站。

[编辑] 维基教科书包括什么内容

维基教科书存放学习指导性资源

作为一个一般规则,多数在本地图书馆或者书店找到的大多数非小说类书籍由于并不符合本方针,因此不能被接纳。这里是放教科书的。一本教科书是可以在一个教学班上用得着的书。

[编辑] 维基教科书接纳文字注释

主条目:Wikibooks:文字注释

尽管我们不允许对现有的作品逐字转抄,但是文字注释是可以的,这种类型的文本包含了原始文字并可作为阅读或学习该文的指南的。

注意,计划好要加注的文本,如果需要加注的地方不多,扩展空间不大,可能被列入删除候选。要了解这方面的方针,参见 Wikibooks:文字注释

对于已有出版物的加注只能在没有侵犯版权的情况下进行。因为其著作权仍归他人所有,我们必须尊重他们的权利同时防止法律纠纷。侵犯版权的内容将被快速删除

[编辑] 维基教科书接纳基于维基百科条目编写的书

注意是“基于”而不是“转抄”。维基百科条目有时候会有变得越来越长的趋势,维基百科编者也喜欢将它们的长度限制到大约32k的文本大小。当这种情况发生时,可以将一部分内容从维基百科分支出来,如果这些内容可以改写成教科书并被适当命名的话。维基百科的词条应该清楚地标记出这部分内容现在移到了这个网站,同时需要添加的内容也请添加到教科书,而不是维基百科条目。当从维基百科分支内容的时候,需要讲任何指向其他维基百科条目的内部链接加以修正,使它仍然能够指向同一条目,而不是指向维基教科书中不存在的条目。

[编辑] 维基教科书不是什么

以下列出一些不适合维基教科书的内容。在编辑的时候记住维基教科书不是什么对我们的工作会有帮助。

[编辑] 维基教科书不是散文作品的储藏处

所有的作品必须符合维基基金会所订立,适用于所有项目的方针:中立、无原创研究,等等。因此,大多数在书店找到的散文作品不适合维基教科书。

[编辑] 维基教科书不是词典

尽管词典可看成是教科书,对通用词典的需求最好放在姐妹项目[[wikt:zh:主页|维基词典上。同时:

  1. 维基教科书不是同义词典同义词典的项目在Wiktionary:同义词典。仅包含同义词或者俚语列表的教科书会在维基教科书被删除。
  2. 例外情况:维基教科书允许并鼓励需要额外词典或同义词表的项目,例如词汇表。例如,一本数学教科书可能需要数学术语表,外语教科书可能包含一个中文-外文及外文-中文互译的词典。这些词典和同义词表要保留的话,它们必须是正文的wikt:次要部分或者wikt:附录

[编辑] Wikibooks is not a free wiki host or webspace provider

You may not host your own website, blog, or wiki at Wikibooks. If you are interested in using the wiki technology for a collaborative effort on something else, even if it is just a single page, there are many sites that provide wiki hosting (free or for money). You can also install wiki software on your own server. (See the Wiki Science wikibook for information on doing this.)

Wikibooks pages are not Personal homepages. Wikibookians have their own personal pages, but they are used for information relevant to working on free textbooks and other content on Wikibooks. If you are looking to make a personal webpage unrelated to textbook work (e.g. posting your résumé), please make use of one of the many free homepage providers on the Internet.

[编辑] Wikibooks is not an encyclopaedia

Wikibooks is a resource for textbooks and other instructional material, and is not an encyclopaedia. Therefore:

  1. Wikibooks modules are not individual encyclopedia-formatted articles. For an encyclopaedia, see our sister project Wikipedia. To reference encyclopaedia articles use interwiki links. Internal links here on Wikibooks link to other Wikibooks modules and between chapters of books. If you see a Wikibook with red-coloured internal links ("redlinks") pointing at top-level Wikibooks modules that do not exist, it may have been copied here from Wikipedia, where the links would originally have linked directly to encyclopaedia articles. (In some books such as the Cookbook and the book on Bartending, individual recipes have been transferred here from Wikipedia. Additionally, some books, including many on the how-tos bookshelf, were instructional texts written on Wikipedia, before the creation of the Wikibooks project, and transferred here.) You can help Wikibooks become a better place by changing the internal links in such articles into interwiki links that link to Wikipedia articles.
  2. Wikibooks is not an in-depth encyclopedia on a specific topic. This is sometimes called a Macropedia, and is discouraged because most projects of this nature can be dealt with directly on Wikipedia itself anyway. Books generally have a stronger organization that builds knowledge from one module to the next with a suggested chronological order to the content. Encyclopedic entries usually stand alone with only passing reference to other content, demonstrating a difference between Wikipedia and Wikibooks. You may also want to look at Wikipedia:WikiProject as an alternative to starting a Wikibook, which would allow you to organize and index several encyclopedic topics under one general subject.

[编辑] Wikibooks is not a news service

Wikibooks is not the place to publish news articles. That is covered by our sister project Wikinews.

[编辑] Wikibooks is not a place to publish original works

Wikibooks hosts instructional resources. Wikibooks modules are not:

  1. original works of fiction or literature — Wikibooks hosts non-fiction texts only. As such we do not allow original works of fiction or literature. Note that such content is welcomed at the Fiction Wikicity.
  2. primary research in any field — Wikibooks is not a place to publish primary research such as proposing theories and solutions, original ideas, defining terms, coining words, et cetera. In short, Wikibooks is not for original research. If you have done primary research on a topic, publish your results in normal peer-reviewed journals, or elsewhere on the web, such as at Academia Wikicity.

[编辑] Wikibooks is not a mirror or a repository for source texts

Main article: Wikibooks:Annotated texts

Wikibooks is not a repository of public domain source texts, which is the purpose of our sister project Wikisource, but rather for collaboratively developing new open-content texts. Exceptions are made for annotated texts, which are a kind of instructional material that includes an original text within it and serves as a guide to reading or studying that text.

[编辑] Wikibooks is not a soapbox

Wikibooks is not a soapbox, or a vehicle for propaganda and advertising. Therefore, Wikibooks modules are not:

  1. propaganda or advocacy of any kind. Wikibooks modules must always adhere to the neutral point of view. You might wish to go to Usenet or start your own blog if you want to convince people of the merits of your favourite views.
  2. personal essays that state your particular opinions about a topic. Wikibooks is not a vehicle to make personal opinions become part of human knowledge.
  3. advertising or self-promotion. We don't need books or modules on items just because a contributor is associated with them. Please note that Wikibooks does not endorse any business and it does not set up affiliate programs.

[编辑] Wikibooks is not paper

Wikibooks is not paper. Thus, Wikibooks has no size limits, can include links, etc. It also means that the style and length of writing appropriate for paper may not be appropriate here. The authors of a Wikibook module don't worry about an event occuring tomorrow that makes all the large, expensive paper copies outdated, as the Wikibook will change as well.

[编辑] Wikibooks is not for developing new Wikimedia projects

Wikibooks is not the place to develop new Wikimedia projects. This is the purpose of our sister project Meta-Wiki, a centralized wiki for the coordination of all Wikimedia projects.

In addition, you may find it useful to start a wiki outside of the Wikimedia Foundation, which you may be able to use to develop a prototype of your project. You might want to look at Wiki Science:How to start a Wiki or Wiki:WikiFarms to find a place to start your wiki. You might want to start your wiki at Wikicities because Wikicities uses MediaWiki and the GNU Free Documentation License to host their wikis; this is similar to what Wikimedia uses.

[编辑] Wikibooks is not censored for the protection of minors

Wikibooks is not censored for the 'protection of minors' (content-rated). First, anyone can edit a module and the results are displayed instantaneously, so we cannot guarantee that a child will see or read nothing their parents may find objectionable. Second, Wikibooks has no organized system for the removal of material that might be thought likely to harm minors. However, modules can be, and are, censored by consensus.

It is important to note that content that would typically be considered offensive is usually a violation of one or more of the previously-mentioned policies or contains copyrighted content which is removed from this project without regards to its social value. Random defacement of pages and adding profanity is usually considered an act of vandalism and removed quickly without any formal community discussion taking place. Unfortunately you might just be viewing some page on Wikibooks immediately after this offensive content was added, and although we try very hard to clean stuff like this up as quickly as we can, we do miss some stuff every once in awhile.
