Welcome to the Assistance reading room where Wikibookians help each other solve problems encountered while contributing to books or otherwise taking part in the Wikibooks community.

I vaguely remember that I encountered that problem already with my first English Wikibook, but that was a while ago and I don't remember what the solution was, so please excuse me asking again: I recently started a new book (Scientific racism in Germany, it is a history book) and would like to put it on the shelf. This seems to be a somewhat difficult procedure. Can somebody help me, please? --Stilfehler (discuss • contribs) 00:33, 25 July 2025 (UTC)

Done https://en.wikibooks.org/w/index.php?title=Scientific_racism_in_Germany&diff=4504537&oldid=4482619 You'll see that the category of the same name is also properly shelved. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 01:14, 25 July 2025 (UTC)

Thank you so much! --Stilfehler (discuss • contribs) 01:59, 25 July 2025 (UTC)

I did the easy part: seems like you are doing the harder work here (tho, I admit I haven't read your work yet... :/). —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 02:14, 25 July 2025 (UTC)

Hello, I'd like to try creating a book about C and linear algebra.

The book's title is 'Linear Algebra: C Language'.

I have no idea where to begin.

It's great that you want to do that. I've posted the {{welcome}} message to your talk page, which should give you the most basic links on how to get started. I will say in addition to the technical ways to get started, if you want to be successful, you should probably pace yourself and plan out time to complete the book. Writing and formatting a book can be an intense project and the way things usually work on Wikibooks is that books tend to be solo projects or ones that are worked on by a small group of editors. In principle, anyone could help, but you should probably go into it assuming that writing the content is mostly a solo venture. If you need any help with technical questions or formatting, there are plenty of users here who are happy to help. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 15:11, 23 August 2025 (UTC)

I tried to write the first page of the book. I don't know if this is correct?
