Sanssouci edit

Self Nomination. I think that this article is very comprehensive and well written. The majority is a translation from the German featured article and I have added inline citations. If anyone has any suggestions about how to improve this article, I would be obliged to improve it. Trebor27trebor 15:31, 5 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I haven't given the article a thorough reading, but all of the German-style quotemarks need to be changed to English-style. Andrew Levine 17:27, 5 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Is there a wikipedia policy on this? I suppose it may be easier to read as there are French, German and English style quotation marks in the article, but I don't want to change them just for the sake of it.
No, there is no Wikipedia policy there; it is simply against the rules of English punctuation. English-language text, even when quoting something written in French or German, invariably uses English quote marks (just as French uses its own guillemets for quoting English text). A typical anglophone reader will come across what appear to him to be upside-down quote marks or arrow-shapes and wonder what the heck is going on. Andrew Levine 04:33, 6 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
OK, understood. I'll just change it now. Trebor27trebor 19:37, 6 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
