Organizing bookshelves
--Andreas Ipp 20:55, 9 Jan 2005 (UTC)
 * Please move books to existing bookshelves.
 * Please add a new bookshelf only if necessary, and if it contains enough existing active books (e.g. splitting of a large bookshelf)
 * Take out books of the list of active Wikibooks, if they look like stubs and nobody added anything in the last 3 months (check history). These can be moved to the corresponding "Suggested Wikibooks" section of the bookshelf.
 * Somebody could move "How-tos" to "Miscellaneous" (creating a section "How-tos" there), since it only contains 4 active books so far.

It's a shame the shelf label says "computer science" and not "computing science".

Health Science
Medicine has its limits as a bookshelf when I noticed there were a few other books that were related to medical subjects but did not fall withing the purview of Medicine. Hence I went ahead and created a Health Science bookshelf. But after having done that I saw that many named books were yet to start. I thought I would let it stay for two reasons: Your thoughts on this are welcome. I will try and keep only active books in the shelves. At the same time I feel that people feel more encouraged to contribute when they see a book already on the shelf. And by keeping only active books we eliminate the participation of these potential contributors.
 * not many medical people have been active though it happens to be the collaboration of the month
 * by expanding the boundaries and including more disciplines I hope to encourage the participation of more people.

Redirect to All bookshelves?
This is redundant with All bookshelves and is only being included on All Books. Does anyone have any concerns with redirecting this page? --hagindaz 00:35, 13 May 2007 (UTC)
