Line 2:
I am nominating [[Yola language]] because I found it fascinating and I learned a lot from it. In all my linguistic studies I had never heard of such a thing, so I guess you could say I really learned something about this "other" branch of Middle English that missed out on the Great Vowel shift! I feel this is some of the best of wikipedia; hence my nomination. [[User:Codex Sinaiticus|Codex Sinaiticus]] 02:17, 23 July 2005 (UTC)
*'''Oppose''' for now. Every FA has a list of references at the end; while sometimes I don't see why it's necessary, this is not one of them. This is crying out for a bibliography. It's a great start, but I'd work on it some more and put it through peer review before I came back here. [[User:Daniel Case|Daniel Case]] 03:09, 23 July 2005 (UTC)
* '''Object''' 1) [[Cite your sources]] in a References section. 2) There is no [[lead section]]. 3) The article needs a map showing where the language is used. 4) The ''Yola song'' section, that appears to be only song lyrics, is longer than the rest of the prose. Compare this to other featured articles about languages such as [[Laal language]], [[Nafaanra language]] or [[Gbe languages]]. [[User:Slambo|slambo]] 15:06, July 23, 2005 (UTC)
