I've created a wiki book from a number of articles and I would like to say that in some fashion and return to it to add or modify it with additional articles and links. This is not for publication, but for my own research purposes. I have no problem saving the book I created and downloading the saved PDF file, however, when I go back to Misplaced Pages and login there is no record of my prior books. QUESTIONS: How do I save a book in progress for access at a later time? How do I modify the format of a book? Why did one of my downloaded wiki books appear in an elegant though widely line spaced two column version and the table of contents included all the subdivisions of each article while two subsequent downloads appeared as a serial run of the articles with no breaks and a limited table of contents without identification of the subdivisions in each article?

- Unfortunately, as far as I am aware, there is no way currently to save books on Misplaced Pages. I recommend you use a cloud hosting site to save the PDF files to be worked on later, if you want to access them from multiple devices as you infer.

Hello, I'm Panian513. I noticed that you made an edit concerning content related to a living (or recently deceased) person, but you didn't support your changes with a citation to a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now. Misplaced Pages has a very strict policy concerning how we write about living people, so please help us keep such articles accurate and clear. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you! Panian513 03:11, 29 August 2024 (UTC)
- I would like some guidance. I am using the Misplaced Pages article of Robert F Kennedy Jr as a model since I am also a public figure still active as an attorney with an extensive website at https://yannalaw.com.
- I used references to Misplaced Pages articles that are under the common license just as information links such as "Harvard" in the Kennedy article. They were removed.
- I have also referred to the official USPTO link to my patents as references. They are the ultimate source ofr information about the substance of a patent, yet they were challenged because they were "original" sources. I do not understand how a primary source such as the USPTO is not an appropriate citation.
- I havde been trying to follow the guides, but I do not seem to understand them.
- I have published oveer 1200 articldes and as two volume treatise and a college text/source book. The actual documents are posted on my website in full in their original form and unedited. Why can I not refer to them at that location? If they arde now out of print, how do I cite them.
- I am sorry for the inconvenience, and I would appreciate any help you can provide. Thank you. PeoplesBarrister (talk) 23:45, 29 August 2024 (UTC)
Please do not add or change content, as you did at Victor Yannacone, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Misplaced Pages:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. Panian513 20:49, 29 August 2024 (UTC)
Please stop. If you continue to add unsourced or poorly sourced content, as you did at Victor Yannacone, you may be blocked from editing. Stop reincluding the "early life and education" section with no citations, it's important to include reliable sources when detailing a living person's life. Panian513 21:17, 29 August 2024 (UTC)
