Paper from sustainable sources ?
[edit]as of March 2010 there appears to be no information on the type of paper used to manufacture physical Wikibooks. FSC promotes sustainable wood production. 79.75.31.167 (talk) 16:28, 29 March 2010 (UTC)
pedia press as an "official partner"
[edit]how exactly did the wfm get "official partners" that sell wfm-content as a commercial service, & pay the wmf for doing so?
where was the community discussion about this?
& how is this article NOT ADVERTISING for pedia press & their wfm-p.o.d. service?
o__0
this situation troubles me, greatly, as it seems to be a pretty clear violation of the "no advertising" principle.

Update in past tense
[edit]Now that the (in this user's opinion, excellent) PediaPress book facility has come to an end, the article needs some past-tensing. Qexigator (talk) 06:53, 19 October 2014 (UTC)
- I just saw something for sale by PediaPress , or at least , it was listed in books.google.com as being a publication of PediaPress (which I realize is not the same thing). Was surprised they were a bluelink, so checked out the article. There was a keep (per WP:IAR primarily) back in 2009. Website was still live, and the site-cart seems to be functional, I added a print-book and started the checkout process as a test. Ping User:Qexigator, are you sure the PediaPress is gone? See https://pediapress.com/about/ , it is the same company as the article is about, not a re-launch. I guess the more pertinent question is, would the bangkeep of 2009, be repeated in 2015, now that WP:IAR often seems to be old-fashioned? Anons cannot nominate for a (second) attempt at deletion, so I guess the question will have to wait until someone decides WP:42 is not necessarily satisfied by this print-on-demand business. 75.108.94.227 (talk) 00:01, 1 September 2015 (UTC)
- The PediaPress bookmaking facility resumed some time after my comment, hence my edit [1]. It seems there was a temporary suspension, unexplained. Qexigator (talk) 07:57, 1 September 2015 (UTC)
Complaint about PediaPress service
[edit]At ticket:2017062010023449 a user writes in complaining about an order not received from PediaPress. They are complaining to WP:OTRS because they read at wmf:Press releases/Wikis Go Printable that the "The company is located in Mainz, Germany and has entered a long term partnership with the Wikimedia Foundation". @JayWalsh: is named as managing this relationship. Jay, what do you know about this? Where are PediaPress comments logged when they come to wiki volunteers? Thanks. Blue Rasberry (talk) 19:52, 21 June 2017 (UTC)
- wmf:User:JayWalsh left the Wikimedia Foundation according to a 2013 blog post. I suspect that this relationship ended in 2009 or sooner and that this documentation is a loose end to be closed. Blue Rasberry (talk) 20:53, 21 June 2017 (UTC)
I thought this service was nonfunctional. Here are some talks about the way it is functional and some various calls to keep it as is, or develop it, or close it.

- This is rather off topic for this talk page, which concerns the Wikipedia article about Pediapress. This should go elsewhere, like at Wikipedia talk:Books or similar. Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 22:01, 9 September 2019 (UTC)
