Weekly topic challenge 5772-25 (week of Tzav 5772): Book division

Question

This week's topic challenge is book division. You're encouraged to think of and post good questions on this topic.

Topic Proposal

I propose book division as a topic. Questions about dividing books into sections, chapters, parashiyos, aliyos, verses, paragraphs, pages, etc. I suspect there can be many more good questions on this; here are some we have already:

• Does one do aliya-ending notes when reading Torah in private?
• Stops in the Sidrah Leyning - Rishon, Sheni etc
• The beginning of Maftir in Krias HaTorah on Pesach
• Who divided the Tehillim into days?
• Seven aliyot for V'zot Habracha?
• Division of Mishnayos in Pirkei Avos / Meseches Avos
• Rambam placement of Hilchos Megilla vaChanukah

What is it?

There's a single topic that people think about during the week and come up with good questions on. The topic is set each Wednesday or so.

What do I win?

An Internet with more good questions and answers on an interesting topic.

How do we decide on next week's topic?
