Revision 2603829 of "Talk:Games" on enwikibooks

== Different book title ==

This book really needs to have a more descriptive title.  Single-word titles are almost always a problem, as they either show that the book has an ill-defined topic or fail to describe the topic.  Just for good measure, there's also a technical awkwardness because there is a [[Subject:Games]] with associated subject-category [[:Category:Games]], interfering with the most naturally expected name for the book-category.

:: The title depends on the ''scope''.  What topic is the book intended to cover?  One of the reasons an over-general ''title'' is bad is that it may be a symptom of an over-general ''scope''.  I'm not sure what you intend here, really.  If you're going to cover every game ever created, you need to have an ''angle'', an ''aspect'' of games that makes this a book rather than an encyclopedia.  We ahve entire books about some games, already; see [[Subject:Games]

:: You might do a once-through of [[WB:WIW]], to get a feel for it, and there may be some good advice in [[Using Wikibooks]] (which is itself a featured book).

:: What do you have in mind for this book?  --[[User:Pi zero|Pi zero]] ([[User talk:Pi zero|discuss]] • [[Special:Contributions/Pi zero|contribs]]) 22:07, 24 January 2014 (UTC)
