[edit] Name of article

Considering the fact that these schools exist in several Nordic countries, that it is called something else in Swedish (Folkhögskola), and that there is an established English translation - Folk high school - wouldn't it make sense to move the article to the English name? / Alarm 06:11, 2 May 2005 (UTC)

Done manually - the edit history was so small anyway:

[edit] France expansion

[edit] When was the first Folk high school founded in Denmark ?

Here it is told 1844 and the German article (see discussion) tells: 1830. Does somebody have any info regarding this ? ----Erkan Yilmaz (talk ?, wiki blog) 09:55, 23 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Style edit

I took a shot at cleaning this article up a bit, but I had a hard time because I don't really know the subject. I mainly worked toward a more encyclopedic style, but I also tweaked a few other areas. Most notably, I significantly trimmed the "France" section to remove most of the political information and leave only the information that is directly related to the schools. To be honest, I really think I still left too much, but since my knowledge of the subject is weak, this is all I feel comfortable doing at this point. The article -- particularly the section on France -- still needs quite a bit of sourcing. I've left a copy of this note on the Cleanup page for reference there. -- edi (talk) 16:52, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
