Book Club Wiki
No one seems to be maintaining the entry in the wiki. Was this overlooked?

We _do_ keep a history, or rather Dazrin does. In both spreadsheet and online. We have a restriction on nominations that doesn't allow any book selected by any club in the last 5 years to be nominated again. (Applies to LIT, MR and New Leaf Book Club selections.)
I'm not volunteering right now (LIFE!) to update the Wiki, but I suspect one of us can. We'll see if we can scare up a volunteer. |

I don't mind volunteering.
I take it you want a new page for "NBLC Book Selections" linked from the NLBC page DaleDe created? Follow the same format as for the MR Book Club Selections page? |

I created the old one back when I first started maintaining the MR list. It never seemed to get much traffic and I never heard any comments on it so I decided not to maintain it for the NLBC. I am already maintaining 2 locations so didn't really want to take on a third that wasn't used as much as the others.
latepaul, if you do want to take it on feel free to format it however you want. I had just taken the old MR list from here and pasted it in (with some format shifting using search/replace.) I will continue to keep both the list here and the spreadsheet up-to-date for a reference on that. As far as I am concerned there doesn't need to be a list in the wiki, if there is a NLBC page it could just reference the list page in the forum. I don't think there is a wiki entry for the literary club either right now. |

At least the current 2 sources are being updated by the same person and there is a link from the NLBC wiki page to your thread so I personally think that's enough. Obviously if anyone else wants to take it on that's up to them. |

I think you are right Dazrin - your lists are the ones we use. I doubt most people knew about a Wiki list - I certainly didn’t.

Well 4,800 people found it over the years. Sometimes the wiki is found in a web search and leads people to the forum. If you only want one list then just add a link on the wiki page to point to where the list is.
