User talk:Bduttabaruah

Contributor 88.106.238.130 on Dec 29, 2005 expressed his opinion regarding orthopAEdic vs orthopEdic. This nameless person did so on my user page. I am removing the matter with immediate effect. I must suggest that you express yourselves in the talk/discussion pages.

That was wrong of me. Now I know that the user page could be used for discusions and is not a page that belongs to me. You are most welcome to pass comments on my activities in wikibooks over here.

Surgery department
Hi. The five departments Wikibooks currently has are: natural sciences, social sciences, computing, arts, and miscellaneous, all of which contain bookshelves. Because Surgery department contains only four books, all of which are found on Health science bookshelf, I have redirected the page to that bookshelf. I don't think we should confuse browsers with extra pages. Is this alright? BTW, I'm glad to see someone finally working on Orthopaedic Surgery again! Thanks and regards, hagindaz 13:18, 9 June 2006 (UTC)


 * Yes, the natural sciences bookshelf is really a "miscellaneous natural sciences" bookshelf. Math and computer science, which are under the same department, are not natural sciences at all. In fact, some don't even consider math a science. Engineering and health science would both fit better under an applied sciences department. And this is only one department! The others suffer from similar problems. I have proposed a more sensible organization here, based on list of academic disciplines, but unfortunately it hasn't gotten much attention. Good luck on your books, hagindaz 22:25, 9 June 2006 (UTC)


 * Yes hagindaz, it appears that you have been working hard with a few others to get the whole bookshelf arranged. At the moment I don't have anything specific to suggest. I presume it will take a while to get the best/working combination. Don't be disappointed. I am sure you will get it right, especially when there are more books on the shelves! Good luck.
 * And thanks for your encouraging words.

I wonder if this is the best way to contact you. I have some content for the orthopaedic wikibook but am unsure what is the best way to put it on there. elfar 02:59, 17 September 2007 (UTC)
