Italian
Another language book which is mostly complete. Xania talk 20:13, 19 April 2007 (UTC)
 * [[Image:Symbol comment vote.svg|15px]] Comment The grammar section looks great, but with 4 short lessons, I certainly wouldn't call it "mostly complete". It's a good start though, thus my not opposing. Regards, Celestianpower 20:35, 19 April 2007 (UTC)
 * [[Image:Symbol comment vote.svg|15px]] Comment But a language text book shouldn't exist to teach the reader from the basics to the advanced stages.  Such a scope is too great and conventional text books usually focus on one particular level such as beginner, intermediate, advanced, etc. But yes there should be more than 4 lessons.

 * [[Image:Symbol comment vote.svg|15px]] Comment Yes, that's right. But currently, it doesn't focus on any level: it doesn't give lessons at all (other than those 4). It's no more than a grammar guide in its current state, unless I'm missing something. Regards, Celestianpower 20:53, 19 April 2007 (UTC)
 * [[Image:Symbol oppose vote.svg|15px]] Oppose I would tend to agree, this book looks nice but it is severely lacking in content and isn't particularly usable to teach the language to a person with no background knowledge, like myself. On a side note there appears to be some kind of mad rush to nominate featured books and based on some of the nominations I worry that our standard of quality isn't particularly high here. We want to put books on the front page that we can be proud of as a community, and that we would like future books to aspire to. A book that is "not that bad" or has "lots of content" doesn't necessarily fit the bill. In terms of advertising it does pay for us to be a little picky and really try to put our best foot forward. --Whiteknight (talk) (projects) 21:20, 19 April 2007 (UTC)
