Talk:Professional and Technical Writing

The "stage" for each page needs to be verified. Many are at least 25% complete and a few might deserve 50% complete status.

Someone should rewrite or even redesign the main page for this Wikibook. --C. S. Wyatt (talk) 17:34, 20 January 2009 (UTC)

I have noticed that none of the sections currently have links to their respective sub-sections. When I navigate to a section, I need to back-up to the main table of contents page to find the subsections. This is awkward and counter intuitive. It would be great if someone added tables of contents within each section that linked to the appropriate sub sections. This could easily be modeled off of the main TOC page. --AdventureWriter (talk) 19:35, 5 February 2010 (UTC)

In chapter 7, the two sections titled "Document Organization" and "Organizational Patterns" appear to have a high degree of overlap. Perhaps these two could be combined into a single section? Or perhaps a clearer distinction could be drawn between the material in these two sections? --AdventureWriter (talk) 19:55, 16 February 2010 (UTC)

I think the standard "stages" macro is a bit easier to read than the "decistages" bar graph. The squares are more common on Wikibook pages, so readers are more likely to both expect and understand them. --C. S. Wyatt (talk) 03:44, 27 February 2010 (UTC)

Stray page
I found a standalone page called "Letters of Request" that was created back in 2009 and was categorized as part of this book. I'm guessing it may have been intended for this book. I have moved the page to within this book, but have not attempted to link it into the book. The page is now at
 * Professional and Technical Writing/Letters of Request.

I have, of course, notified the original author of the page. Apologies if I'm wrong in thinking it can/should group with this book. --Pi zero (discuss • contribs) 15:06, 30 April 2017 (UTC)

Resume writing
It seems to me that the content misses such an important and necessary subcategory as a summary. Samples and resume templates are the priceless materials that every person needs. Like tips, examples: https://federalresumeguide.com/how-to-write-a-federal-resume/ Learning how to write a resume in student years is a very useful skill for every person. Personally I think that such a paragraph should be included in the list.
