Talk:The Count of Monte Cristo (unsourced)
Untitled
editHi,
I moved some of the pages with a proper capitalisation. I am not sure if it should be Chapter 9 - The Evening of The Betrothal or Chapter 9 - The Evening of the Betrothal. I think it is rather the later. Same for Chapter 20 - The Cemetery of The Chateau d'If or Chapter 20 - The Cemetery of the Chateau d'If, and may be others. Also, I think the chapters' numbers are not needed in the titles. Yann 15:55, 8 November 2005 (UTC)
- Proper English requires that all non-substantive words (such as "the", "of", "and", etc.) not be capitalized, unless they appear as the first word of a title or proper noun. (i.e. "The Count of Monte Cristo" not "the Count of Monte Cristo" or "The Count Of Monte Cristo".) Also, I think I disagree with the notion that the numbers of the chapters are not needed; I believe they are. --216.191.72.153 15:51, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
Translator
editThis appears to be identical to the version on Project Gutenberg, which claims that it can be redistributed freely. No translator is listed, however. --Spangineerwp (háblame) 21:05, 15 October 2006 (UTC)
- I think that no translator is listed because this is probably the version that was translated annonymously in 1846; the translated English is definitely 19th century. (I also have a print copy of this that is very similar to the version here, with mostly only minor editorial discrepancies.) --216.191.72.153 14:13, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
Footnotes
editThe footnotes need to be fixed, for whenever an * appears at the beginning of a line, it is interpreted as a bullet point. OneWeirdDude (talk) 20:56, 16 April 2009 (UTC)
- The best solution is probably to use <ref> and </ref> syntax, along with <references /> at the end. Here's an example.[1] Doing it this way adds a link from the text to the note and back again, making it easier for the reader to follow along.
