[edit] Pāli

There is far too little information in this article about the Pāli language, and far too much about installing non-Pāli-specific fonts on Windows. --Marnen Laibow-Koser (talk) (desk) 22:10, 9 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Alternation (linguistics)

Bad example, bad formatting, self reference. RJFJR 13:38, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

I've done some cleanup, but I'm having a hard time finding references. In the mean time I'll keep working on its format. The ikiroid (talk·desk·Advise me) 00:30, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

I've reworked it so that it first presents the general case - the 'rules' of alternation which I've extracted from what was already on the page. I've then created an examples section out of what was left over. I think it's better though it's still very stubby. There were some bits I couldn't understand, you'll find them where I left them on the talk page. Regards, Ben Aveling 07:32, 13 January 2007 (UTC)

I've done a pretty major rewrite now. It could stand some more prose (at the moment it's little more than an expanded dicdef with some examples), but I think it's enough that I can take off the cleanup tags. —An gr 21:23, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Paramount Canada's Wonderland

The article is decent, but can be much better. Tone is occasionally too formal. Attractions section could be cleaned up, and Renamed Attractions, Restaurants and Stores is really bad (refers to sections of the park that don't exist; badly organized, format, etc.; stuff like "Spinovator in Med was called Quixote's Kettles. It was renamed during the 1998 season." is bad -- what's Med?)

Update I made a few revisions awhile back, but I don't know what parts are too formal. I'd like some more specific instances of low-quality in the article, most of it looks pretty good to me. What's lacking to make it a good article is more references. The ikiroid (talk·desk·Advise me) 19:15, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Arabic language

This is a pretty good article, but it doesn't have any references. It has lots of external links though. If someone could add inline references (like this), it would improve the article a lot. – Quadell ^{(talk) (random)} 20:45, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

This article wrongly states that the word 'Algebra' was taken from English, when it is in fact the opposite.

Update: The references have been organized, and I added one. Awhile back I added some stuff about Arabic Grammar, and the article looks pretty good now. What else needs to be done? The ikiroid (talk·desk·Advise me) 22:42, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

I'm adding some comments on the talk page. --Cbdorsett 05:48, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
