Computer Information Systems in Education?
Could you clarify your plans for the content linked to from Collections/Computer Information Systems in Education /Ed 1. The collections aren't book, themselves but just a way to create printable versions. Thanks, --Swift (talk) 04:46, 28 February 2009 (UTC)


 * This was an error on my part. I am new to the Wikibook making and intended to make this a book. Thanks for following up. Basiyr (talk) 14:26, 28 February 2009 (UTC)


 * You're welcome. I noticed that you seem to have placed the book on a sub-page named "/Ed 1" which I assume stands for "edition one". The Manual of Style recommends placing the main contents on the main page, placing the cover on a separate sub-page (such as "/Cover"). The MoS also recommends using descriptive page-names (instead of "Chapter x" or "Page y". Semantically more correct, this makes pages easier to search for and renders the titles properly (which is particularly important for printing).
 * As a final note, there shouldn't be a need for editions as all versions are stored in edit histories. Editions are counter to the collaborative aim of the wiki and do not serve the reader. Static editions can always be compiled into static documents such as PDFs. See Forking policy for more.
 * I wish you and your students all the best. Please feel free to contact me or bring up issues in the relevant reading room. --Swift (talk) 17:16, 28 February 2009 (UTC)

I just found the time to read through this and think about improvements. If I wish to follow the MoS and alter the wikibook. What do I need to do. Just make a new one and ask that these old pages be deleted? Basiyr (talk) 15:41, 1 May 2009 (UTC)
