Vote for the book of the month of April 2006.
The voting for the Book of the month for April 2006 is open from March 1st, 2006, and will close on April 1st, 2006, 00:00 UTC. The book of the month will be featured on the main page of Wikibooks.
Every user can nominate books of interest for voting and add them at the end of the voting page.
A featured wikibook cannot be nominated again for one year.
To nominate a book just add that book to the voting section of the voting page using this Wiki code: === [[Book Name]] === where "Book Name" is the name of the book. When you have done this add {{Botm}} to the top of the front page of the Wikibook.
Voting
Every registered Wikibooks user can vote for as many of the nominated candidates as they like.
Only registered Wikibooks users should vote while they are logged in (check by history of page). This is because it is impossible to detect multiple votes by a user using different anon IPs.
Due to previous voting irregularities, we now require a user to show they are intending to participate with Wikibooks by showing a minimum of 20 edits in your edit history. This number may increase in the future if continued problems persist.
The use of sock puppets as a way to pad votes is strongly discouraged. While you are not restricted to only one user account on Wikibooks, please use just one account for any voting activities on Wikibooks including the Book of the Month voting. Suspicious cases of duplicate voting may be reviewed using the CheckUser services of MediaWiki software.
To enter your votes, simply edit the appropriate sections by just inserting a new line with # ~~~~ to add your username and a time stamp in a new numbered list item.
Please add only support votes. Opposing votes will not affect the result, as the winner is simply the one with the most support votes (see w:Approval voting).
You may add short supporting or opposing comments to each candidate, signed with your name. These comments do not count in the voting process.
Votes can be retracted by the voter until the voting closes.
Evaluation
Voting ends 00:00UTC on the day specified.
The winner is the candidate book with the most support votes.
In case of a tie, the older book will be selected (by book history).
Books with 3 or more votes will be automatically nominated for the following month.
It's very good, but later lessons need some formatting and the lesson on the Dative case is extremely flawed, since the exercices use pronouns and we only see them 2 sections after! Plus we need a corrected version of the exercices(which I could do) because exercices without correction = the lame. --Kundash21:19, 14 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
This book is scheduled to have almost all of its content finished, proofread, and perfected by April. See the timetable on my talk page for more. --Hagindaz02:35, 4 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I recommend this book with slight reservations. I have looked around the book and it is extremely nice for the most part, and written by people that know what they're doing. Other parts are simply awful, with spelling errors in the French examples and slang expression/grammar(such as "quel jour on est" for "what day are we", which should be "quel jour sommes-nous"), which is a huge no-no, since teaching a language should focus on formalties first and slang second, or even not at all. I largely prefer the Latin book over the French one, even if the Latin one is a little flawed, but I'm still going to give my support and vote in favour of the French wikibook.

Even though this book is in early to middle development it has much potential, and already has tons of information. Fitch17:20, 4 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I too have been quite impressed with the quality improvement of this Wikibook. I think I'll try to make a PDF version some time soon! --Rob Horning16:00, 10 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I'm adding this book quite late in the month, so it is not likely to get as many votes as it could have. I am going to renominate this book for sure in April (for the May BotM) if it doesn't get the 3 renomination votes. It is at least as good as all of the other books listed on this page. --Rob Horning03:05, 23 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
This is another book that is late coming to the table here, but I think it is a title that should be reviewed for the quality of its content. There are some real gems on Wikibook that are hidden, and I think this is one of them. --Rob Horning12:05, 29 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
