==Old discussion(s)==

This article needs help. In particular, Im not happy about the discussion of specific programs like The Rosetta Stone. Sounds too much like an advertisement. [[User:Thelmadatter|Thelmadatter]] 15:34, 23 August 2007 (UTC)Thelmadatter

This does need serious work. It is really to the point that mere additions or revisions will not help...It really needs to be redone from scratch. Not only are there too many blatant software and website promotions, but also too many in-text links (that is what link at the end of wikipedia entries are for). It also seems like this is primarily an attempt at writing the history of CALL in the UK. <small>—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/24.208.176.36|24.208.176.36]] ([[User talk:24.208.176.36|talk]]) 05:05, 7 November 2007 (UTC)</small><!-- Template:UnsignedIP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

==Total rewrite in progress, November 2010==

'''From Graham Davies, November 2010'''

I hadn't looked closely at this article for a couple of years - sometime back in 2008. In the meantime it had got into a dreadful mess - too many cooks. The only way it can be rescued is to rewrite it from scratch. I am now in the course of doing this. Some of the existing material can be recycled, but a lot of it is irrelevant and out of date. I am taking on board some of the comments that other contributors have made to this page. It should not take me more than 2-3 weeks to knock this article into shape.

:::Would have been nice if you worked on the article in your sandbox instead. Committing a mangled outline that only serves to remind yourself of what you are planning to write is not ideal.

What the hell is this? I thought linguists would be writing this page, but the first paragraph is almost unreadable. [[Special:Contributions/192.198.151.37|192.198.151.37]] ([[User talk:192.198.151.37|talk]]) 09:07, 31 March 2010 (UTC)

::I agree and I've reverted the changes. It's not acceptable to have sections that are obviously incomplete and written as such. [[User:ElKevbo|ElKevbo]] ([[User talk:ElKevbo|talk]]) 04:32, 26 November 2010 (UTC)
