Nanotechnology
This is a good, well-developed book. According to the main page, it has previously been book of the month, but it isn't listed on the featured books page. --Whiteknight (talk) (projects) 21:24, 2 March 2007 (UTC)


 * I'm not sure about this one, it seems like it's very well defined what should go there, most of it (except for sections 1 and part of 2) is links to wikipedia articles, the information contained within those seems to be very comprehensive but does it matter whether it's contained within the actual book or not (if it would basically be a rehash of the same material anyways)? If it is judged that this is acceptable then I support but for now I remain neutral, to hear what people have to say about this. Mattb112885 21:46, 2 March 2007 (UTC)


 * I can understand your point here, but this book was previously nominated as BOTM, and it should likely have a place among the other books who had gained that distinction. On the flipside, this could be our opportunity to go back and review the books currently listed as BOTM winners, and decide if they all still merit a place of honor on that page. It might also be worth considering, with the demise of the BOTM program, if we want to include that section on the page at all. --Whiteknight (talk) (projects) 23:27, 4 March 2007 (UTC)


 * I think that we probably should just lose the BOTM category and stick with the "good books" and maybe another (pretty good but not there yet) category similar to Wikipedia's "Good articles" wikiproject. I'm sure many of the BOTM books would qualify for the good books criteria anyways (depending on how stringently we follow them of course). But for now you're right, if it was originally voted as a BOTM we should distinguish it as such, at least for now, so I'll say I support this. Mattb112885 (talk) 00:17, 7 March 2007 (UTC)


 * I agree with losing BOTM. A group of people could try checking the BOTM books to see if any qualify as good books and keep those that do, for the circulation of featured books to display on the main page. --dark [[Image:Yin yang.svg|12px]] lama 20:08, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

Done. I added this one to the BOTM list, because it was an old BOTM winner. --Whiteknight (talk) (projects) 00:28, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

Added - This book is now a part of the rotation of Wikibooks that are featured on the Main Page. --Rob Horning 05:46, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
