[edit] Wikilinks
I have wikilinked each entry on these lists to improve the look of the page - unfortunately this has created a lot of redlinks in the Hungarian section. If someone knows of a bot which will remove all links beyond the first please direct it at this page and see how it looks - personally I think for list like this each entry should be linked.

Are you sure that the quotation marks (which refer to literal translations of titles of books that haven't been published in English) should be included in the links? Even if the books should appear some time under those specific titles in English, they'll certainly not have the quotation marks! I think we'd better leave the quotation marks outside the link brackets. Adam78 15:54, 5 March 2006 (UTC)
- I didn't realise what the quotation marks were for until after I'd linked everything - thanks for changing them. QmunkE 18:28, 5 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Links in Results
A mess, links anywhere except the actual book. Skinnyweed 17:27, 13 April 2006 (UTC)

- Az interneten ugyan még április 22-én 14 óráig lehet szavazni, de a szavazólapok összesítése már megkezdődött, az már biztos, hogy A Nagy Könyv kezdeményezés legalábbis a leadott szavazatok számát tekintve megelőzte az anyaműsort, az angol BBC-n futó "The Big Read"-et. Az április 19-i adatok alapján a szavazatok száma megközelíti a 200 ezret, ami minden várakozást felülmúl, a "The Big Read" program első fordulójában összesen 140 ezer szavazat érkezett, pedig Anglia 60 millió lakosával és az MTV-nél jobb közönségarányt elérő közszolgálati csatornájával jelentős előnyben volt.
Translation:
- Although it is possible to vote on the Internet until 2 pm, April 22, summing up of the voting sheets has begun. It is already certain that, at least in terms of the votes given, "A Nagy Könyv" [The Big Book] initiative has overtaken the mother-programme, "The Big Read", running on the British BBC. According to the April 19 data, the total of the votes approaches 200 thousand, surpassing all expectations: in the first turn of "The Big Read" there were altogether 140 thousand votes arriving, although the UK with its 60 million inhabitants and its public service channel reaching a higher proportion of the public than MTV (Hungarian television) had a significant advantage.

[edit] Split Requested
Personally, I think the German and Hungarian versions of The Big Read should have their own articles, to keep the British article small and everything cleaned up and organised. The Australian version (My Favourite Book) has its own article -- why not them? -- azumanga 23:10, 8 January 2007 (UTC)
- Sounds good to me. Go for it. — RevRagnarok Talk Contrib 16:20, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Category
Does anybody think it would be worth the effort to add a category? It wouldn't be hard with AWB, but I think it would be slicker if we had the category "properly" sorted, e.g. The Lord of the Rings actually sorts to 001 - The Lord of the Rings. I can probably do it with AWB but not sure how people would feel about it. Please discuss. ;) — RevRagnarok Talk Contrib 16:25, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
- Oh well, no discussion. I just finished Category:Big Read Books (188 of 200 items, some were redlinks, etc) and am now starting Category:Big Read Authors. — RevRagnarok Talk Contrib 17:40, 24 February 2007 (UTC)
- Less than 2 hours later, they're both up for CfD. :( — RevRagnarok Talk Contrib 20:15, 24 February 2007 (UTC)
