Hey man! Thanks for your interest in the World History Project on Wikibooks. I'd love your help. A few comments-

1. The California Standard (thingy :) is the standard base curriculum imposed by the the American state of California's Board of Education (American education is not nationalized, see Education in the United States, which, interestingly, is mostly my work!). I thought it was was a little funny to use them in Wikibooks, and the AP standard applies not only to the entire United States, but also to many international students who wish to study at American universities (or colleges, the terms are generally interchangable in common usage in the States). I don't intend to make it an AP World History guide, I just thought that once I get it into shape, many people who I contact will be AP history teachers who will want a brief overview of the exam for their students.

2. I'd love your help and thanks for showing interest! If you'd like to know where you can start, give me a ring and I'll get right on it. You can even be strictly a proofreader/reviewer if you wish. I really would appreciate any help you can give! Much of the stuff there now, especially my Golden Rule, is mine because it was in such poor shape when I arrived and in such neglect that I threw a bunch of old stuff out and basically only kept the chapter structure. And if you think it's informal now, you should have seen it before!

3. I thought I was the only person who knew about HyperHistory! However, I plan to go into much more detail than them, and frankly I considered using their maps, with appropriate consent of course, but I was turned off by the fact that there are so few, undetailed, and relatively broad maps. I also personally don't approve of using a single person's book as a guide/model. The AP standard is easier to apply, and has had many college-educated professionals develop it. But that doesn't mean I'm adverse to using it's information or structural content. We can use information without plagiarism from these sources as long as we don't cite word for word (it would become cumbersome to create a bibliography right now, I propose an eventual reference works list at the bottom of each chapter for further reading, however).

Thanks! (by the way, I sent this to you in your email as well because I wasn't sure if you'd been active recently!)--User:naryathegreat(t) 03:37, Feb 13, 2005 (UTC)

Permission for Image:Captain james king.jpg
How's the request for permission to use Image:Captain james king.jpg coming along? Have you received a reply yet or do you still require help? If so, please drop me a note on my talkpage..I'd be more than happy to try and get this image on Wikipedia with permission. Soothing R  17:10, 5 February 2006 (UTC)
 * I see. Well, if the response is just a repeat of the email which you have already received then we'll have to try and get the license some other way. After studying http://nla.gov.au/nla.pic-an2292701, I noticed that the image was painted in 1782. That's more than 200 years ago..It is safe to assume that the painting is in the public domain by now. I'm slapping a PD-art on it.


 * NB: in the case that you would like to read more about image licenses, I advise you to look at Image copyright tags.[[Image:Weather rain.png]] Soothing R  06:48, 8 February 2006 (UTC)
