Talk:Rhetoric and Writing in the Public Sphere: An Introduction

Naming policy
Chapter page names need to start with the book name followed by a slash, for example, "Book Title/Chapter Name". See WB:NP for more details To follow this policy, you can change the chapter titles to:


 * Rhetoric and Writing in the Public Sphere: An Introduction/The Idea Behind this Book
 * Rhetoric and Writing in the Public Sphere: An Introduction/The Evolution of the Public Sphere
 * Etc.

If you want to keep chapter numbers in the links, then you can format links as:


 * Introduction: Rhetoric and Writing in the Public Sphere: An Introduction/The Idea Behind this Book
 * Chapter 1: Rhetoric and Writing in the Public Sphere: An Introduction/The Evolution of the Public Sphere
 * Etc.

The part before the pipe character "|" indicates the page name while the part after the pipe character indicates how the link appears in the text. Thus the links looks like:


 * Introduction: Rhetoric and Writing in the Public Sphere: An Introduction/The Idea Behind this Book
 * Chapter 1: Rhetoric and Writing in the Public Sphere: An Introduction/The Evolution of the Public Sphere
 * Etc.

Actually, this way of displaying the chapter titles is confusing to say the least. On solution would be to move (rename) the book so as to drop the "An Introduction" part. That is, to rename to book to "Rhetoric and Writing in the Public Sphere". Another would be to drop the book name from the link text as follows.


 * Introduction: The Idea Behind this Book
 * Chapter 1: The Evolution of the Public Sphere
 * Etc.

This displays as:


 * Introduction: The Idea Behind this Book
 * Chapter 1: The Evolution of the Public Sphere
 * Etc.

WRTC 320 Fall 2011 final project
Hello, Karen McDonnell's Public Sphere students. This is our discussion page. I've been doing copyediting in the existing chapters. I hope that you'll make your way here and converse with each other as you think of ways that your sections connect.Mcdonnkm (discuss • contribs) 21:53, 12 December 2011 (UTC) What has happened to the chapters on the media and technology???

Proposed Chapter/Table of Contents
I notice that the already existing chapters of the Wikibook are still there (sans two chapters it would appear) and no new chapters have been added. Are we going to go off of the picture of the board from our class discussion that is posted on Boondoggle?

I geuss what I'm asking is: what are the chapters going to be, and when are they going up? In the picture on Boondoggle, I notice there is a heading that says "Arts." I think my section pertains mostly to this (music blogs and the public sphere), so should I make this a chapter? Do others feel as though this would be a good chapter to create?

(K. McDonnell) Like I said above, I don't know WHAT happened to the missing chapters. That said, I dont' think that we've lost much. You definitely hold the power to create new chapters, so have at it.Mcdonnkm (discuss • contribs) 13:22, 14 December 2011 (UTC)
