Formula Dé deleted
You deleted the pages Formula Dé and Formula Dé/1999 League Schedule & Rules, and I can not find any discussion on said deletion. How is a rulebook on this game any different than a rulebook on Monopoly? Why was this done without some discussion? —MJBurrage 01:44, 19 May 2006 (UTC)


 * As you may well be aware, recently at wikibooks we have been looking at what books we have and assessing whether they really meet our inclusion criterion of them being textbooks. The pages you refer to fall foul of this (under pretty much any definition) and were therefore liable to be deleted summarily without further discussion. I am mindful, however, that authors may not have a personal copy of their work, and am willing to email (or if necessary temporarily delete) pages to them if they do not. If that is the case here, please let me know and I will email you the text (as I have already done for KingKogs (see below)). As far as the Monopoly pages are concerned, I believe they will go in the near future too - it's only because that book is longer and is about a very familiar game that it has not yet been removed, Jguk 07:39, 19 May 2006 (UTC)

I believe I have a copy of the material at home. Related to the deletion, and Game Rules in general, which wiki would be the proper location for such material? —MJBurrage 16:24, 19 May 2006 (UTC)

Games are taught at universities
A variety of games are taught at a number of universities. One example would be Computer Games and Simulations for Investigation and Education which is a class taught at MIT. Does that not make their inclusion here appropriate? —MJBurrage 15:16, 24 May 2006 (UTC)
