Due to a severe shortage of time, I am no longer able to be an active member of the Wikibooks project. Please see my page for more details about my absense. I will continue to monitor my talk page for correspondence and will try to reply quickly when possible.
This is going to be a page to list books that are no longer books, or which I have basically abandoned.

Not Books Anymore
[edit | edit source]Books here have been converted, usually into meta-organizational pages for smaller books.
(Book) (Create - Create) (Edit Notes)Assembly Language — Not a Book - Unknown
Is now a subject page for assembly language books.
(Book) (Create - View, Load) (Edit Notes)Modern Physics — Not a Book - Unknown
This large book was separated out into smaller books for each individual subject. The resultant books are listed here: Category:Modern Physics.
- The "Gravity" section needs to be separated out into it's own book.
- Go through the book, find orphaned subpages and delete them.
- Evaluate some of the appendices to see where they can be moved, or if they should be deleted.
- Redirect this book to Subject:Modern Physics
- Update all "Modern Physics" templates to point to the right places.
- Maybe improve the look of Subject:Modern Physics
(Book) (Create - Create) (Edit Notes)Engineering Tables — Not a Book - Unknown
At the moment, is just a listing of various tables for use in other books. Needs more, probably to be imported from WP.
(Book) (Create - Create) (Edit Notes)Electric Circuits — Not a Book - Unknown
Is now a subject page for books on electric circuits
(Book) (Create - Create) (Edit Notes)Reverse Engineering — Not a Book - Unknown
This is now a subject page for all software reverse engineering books.
Abandoned
[edit | edit source]These are books that I am not going to work on anymore, but I may be interested in finding new authors to adopt them.
(Book) (Outline) (Create - Create) (Edit Notes)Algebra — Unknown - Unknown
Several new contributors have been helping with this book, so it's actually doing better then it was. May still need to be merged/combined with Linear Algebra, Abstract Algebra, and some other related books.
Book has a lot of redlinks, too little content, no solid structure, etc. Needs a lot of work.
Needs more content, better organization. Possibly split large pages into smaller pages. More references, links to resources, etc. Needs a cover page and a PDF version.
Book needs radical expansion, example problems, more information, etc. Needs formatting and cleanup. Is in bad shape.
Book has recently had navigation templates and a print version added. Needs expanded content, cleanup, formatting. Needs a cover page and PDF version. Some subpages are not well-linked nor well formatted.
Needs a lot of cleanup, improvement, and content expansion.
Deleted or Removed
[edit | edit source](Book) (Create - Create) (Edit Notes)Wikibooks Community — Not a Book - Unknown
Book merged into Using Wikibooks and deleted.
