This is more FYI if you havn't been frequenting Wikibooks for awhile
*** 10,000 Wikibooks modules for EN ***
The English Wikibooks has now passed over 10,000 book modules... which
also puts it in the top 50 wikis on the web (according to [[w:List of
largest wikis]]). Far from a failure, Wikibooks is starting to pick up
some popularity and has a fairly healthy user population, including
vandals and other malcontents. More publicity should happen about
passing this key milestone, but for now this is about all the publicity
that has happened so far. Which brings up the next item of news:
** Wikibooks has a new bureaucrat **
User:Aya has volunteered for and been granted bureaucrat status. What
this means for Wikibooks is that more administrators are going to be
created, with the latest being Geocachernemesis. You can debate if she
will be good at this, but then again that should have been done on the
Request for Admin Status page. The previous bureaucrats have been on
haitus or away from Wikibooks on other projects, and it appears that Aya
is more dedicated to just Wikibooks specifically. Wikibooks is growing,
and the ever present need to police what is happening on Wikibooks is
also growing. Thanks to all of the administrators who have been working
hard in the past to help clean up things like the Ass Pus attacks and in
general cleaning up everything on Wikibooks.
