[edit] Questions to be answered

• What was the exact trigger? --Alexia Death 08:21, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] The title

I am reverting the move for now. It needs to be moved but this title is one mans decision without discussing it. IT needs a qualifier to mark it as a period. Also the AFD needs to end first.--Alexia Death 10:02, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

The redirect is enough for now but the title NEEDS to be discussed.--Alexia Death 10:05, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] "Corr"

Ghirlandajo, don't try to misrepresent the sources. The article (from a peer-reviewed journal) says: According to the 1897 census, 96.1 per cent of the Estonian population ten years of age and older in the Baltic Provinces could read, and male and female literacy levels were virtually equal Colchicum 10:43, 12 June 2007 (UTC)

Does this include Baltic Germans? From what you quote, it is possible ot interpret this to mean 96.1% of the population of the Governorate of Estonia (Estland). You are implying this to be 96.1% of self-identified Estonians in the Governorate of Estonia and the Governorate of Livonia (excluding Baltic Germans, Russians and Latvians). The raw data was available in the 1897 census, but I do not know if they made this kind of statistics back then. -- Petri Krohn 12:47, 12 June 2007 (UTC)

No, it means 96.1% of Estonian native speakers residing in all the Baltic Governorates, not only Estland, but excluding native speakers of German. Colchicum 12:52, 12 June 2007 (UTC)

Faehlmann, Peterson and Ariste certainly deserve their own articles. Colchicum 13:34, 12 June 2007 (UTC)

I don't know anything about this article's subject, but surely books should not be in the external links section. Would it not be best to create a "Further Reading" section?MAC475 07:12, 14 June 2007 (UTC)
