I'm not sure what to do with this article. Suggestions?? Falphin 21:20, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- I realize that a seperate bibliography article is unconventional in Wikipedia, but it seemed called for in this case: that complete list was part of the L. Ron Hubbard article, and if some enthusiast wants to, it could be made much longer still, what with all the transcribed lectures, collected memos, etc. that have been published. So I created a selected bibliography on the biography page, with a link to this more extensive one. If the long list stays on the bio page, readers have to scroll through the whole thing before getting to useful external links at the bottom of the page. If we don't make the list availble somehow, I expect that some Scientologists would insist on putting it back (Hubbard-related sites have some history of edit wars). So, I vote for this new article, unless you have a better idea. BTfromLA 21:36, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- ok, now I understand what this article is about. As long as it is discussed on the talk page of the main article I have no objections. Falphin 21:48, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)
[edit] removed category tag
This article is in two sub-categories of Category:Scientology, Category:L. Ron Hubbard and Category:Scientology books. In general an article shouldn't be in both a category and one of its sub-categories. There's an exception when it's the article that defines the sub-category, but this article doesn't define either. Accordingly, it's being removed from Category:Scientology. -- Antaeus Feldspar 4 July 2005 00:17 (UTC)
- For what it's worth, I agree with Antaeus' change of categorization, as described above. BTfromLA 8 July 2005 03:11 (UTC)

[edit] Reorganize By Levels
I dunno about putting Hubbard's books into only two categories and having everything in chronological order. It doesn't seem that helpful. Is there a way to reorganize these and other works such as lecture series into levels, say Basic, Pre-Grades, Grades, NEDs, Clear, OT Prep, and OT? Sort like this. Is there a better organized list out there? Chiok 01:48, 29 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] the Dianetics and Scientology section
Two-thirds of the Dianetics & Scientology section is incorrect. Most of the books listed here as being from the 1980s and 1990s are actually older books. Some of these are also BOTWO (Based on the Works of) books, and not actually written or compiled by Hubbard himself. wikipediatrix 06:49, 5 November 2006 (UTC)
- I've tried to address this by placing more of the later editions in parentheses after the first edition. Sources of information for first publication place/date are the 1975 Technical Dictionary and the 1976 Technical Bulletins I-X. DavidCooke 22:19, 3 January 2007 (UTC)
