Talk:Old English

Appendices
I think we can get rid of appendices, and instead use the vocabulary section. Gott wisst (discuss • contribs) 05:13, 9 May 2013 (UTC)

layout principles
I think we need some general layout principles: Have I missed anything? Gott wisst (discuss • contribs) 11:54, 15 June 2013 (UTC)
 * First explain what a page is about (page about nouns, have a blurb on nouns - give Modern English examples to help explain)
 * Go further in depth about specfic features of this feature for Old English if necessary (maybe constrast to MnE)
 * Give specific OE grammar models
 * Be efficient in examples given (for example, instead of giving declension of "hwæt" on pronoun page and then also "ġehwæt", simply refer the reader back to the "hwæt" declension when talking about "ġehwæt"
 * Use the new warm colour theme for tables
 * Use quotation marks for example words and sentences
 * Use bold and italics when appropriate
 * Do mark palatalization
 * Minimize verbosity

In-text, it is common in textbooks for OE words to be italicized, and their MnE translations to appear in quotes, e.g. fisc, "fish". I suggest we go with that. 70.173.37.60 (discuss) 19:13, 15 June 2013 (UTC)
