Untitled

Hi is Monoco a typo or an actual thing?

{Spoken Wikipedia request|Innovvenkat (discuss • contribs)|will be great if it is speaking the contents. so the slang also will become easier}}

One thing I noticed was That there was no forward button on the bottom of the page. Other then that good Job Bawolff 05:23, 4 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Navigational template

I also say good job. I noticed that your navigation system was makeshift, and I couldn't find a better one, so here's an idea: use the template that I created specifically for this: NextPrev.

For example, you currently use this:
^ French ^ | << Table of Contents | Introduction | Alphabet >>

I propose this:

Up:	Back:	Current:	Next:
French	Table of Contents	French/Lessons/Introduction	Alphabet

As far as I care, the template is free to be changed. I just wanted something that I knew would perform this function. Let me know what you think.

Actually, the "back" in this case shouldn't even exist, and the "up" should be the ToC. But my template as it is doesn't allow for nonexistent "back" or "next." Maybe someone can change that. -- D. F. Schmidt 05:55, August 12, 2005 (UTC)

Deletions

I've deleted the stuff about French having invaded England and modified the bit about 1/3 of English being French. The invasion was a Norman one, not a French one (the French had no say in the matter). William was Norman, the chroniclers of the event were Norman, and Wace, writing about it in the 12th century, was a Norman who wrote positively of the Normans, and quite negatively of the French. Moreover, the dialects were distinct then, and are separate languages now. Moreover, the French fought against the Normans and conquered much of their territory in 1204.

Links for definitions

I've noticed the expression "Allons-y" here (that now[[1]] I know it means "let's go!") and thought that maybe we could include links for these definitions (wiktionary, wikibooks, whatever works), when expressions that were not introduced yet appear. Is this practice allowed, or there is a style guide telling us not to? Thanks for any clarification! --MirianBruckschen (talk) 14:32, 22 June 2009 (UTC)

As a book, it is better to not use links, as in the other wikis, as these books also have a printed version. Thus, it would be better to make your definitions in-place. There is a guide on this, but damned if I can find it :-) Coupe (discuss • contribs) 11:23, 25 February 2012 (UTC)
