Here are some tasks you can do:
- Requests:
- Have the overview describe in better details the differences between the languages.
- Mention and describe a little the Claudian letters addition.
- Wikify:
Needs inline citations to help the reader in further reading or completing of the information already present.
- Cleanup:
- Diacritics section needs to be expanded and have better prose.
- Remove excessive duplications, for example, talking about diacritics in multiple sections, removing the rephrasal of concepts about ligatures throughout the text.

How and when was the order we currently know agreed (Gnevin 21:11, 7 February 2007 (UTC))
- It goes a long way back, with spontaneous evolutions happening occasionally. It is largely derived from the order of the Greek alphabet, which in itself largely was derived from the Phoenician alphabet. . 惑乱 分からん 12:10, 10 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] "Encyclopedia" self reference
The image Image:Latin alphabet.png seems to violate Wikipedia:Avoid self-references. Other example text would be more appropriate. —Ben FrantzDale 23:32, 8 April 2007 (UTC)
- "Wikipedia" and "encyclopedia" are two different things. The ikiroid (talk·desk·Advise me) 02:51, 9 April 2007 (UTC)

- True, but this page has little to do with encyclopedias. That text might as well say "Thesaurus" :-). The other alphabet pages have ancient texts as their examples. I'd think this should have something like The quick brown fox or else something historical that's in Latin characters. —Ben FrantzDale 02:56, 9 April 2007 (UTC)
