the French "contest"

Latest comment: 6 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

"The French contest". I suppose this must be a typo for "contes"?. I'll correct it. If anyone objects I'll move it back. METRANGOLO1 (talk) 11:50, 29 January 2018 (UTC)Reply

Unsorted list

Latest comment: 3 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

§ Compilations is currently unsorted. Names are sometimes displayed given name first, sometimes surname first, with no apparent alphabetical sorting. While I believe a bold editor can alphabetize the list, how should the names be displayed: surname first, or given name first? I assume the list will be sorted alphabetically by surname regardless of how it is displayed. — CJDOS, Sheridan, OR (talk) 21:48, 26 August 2021 (UTC)Reply

Are there any sources that try to draw distinction between fantasy and fairy tale genres? - Altenmann >talk 15:34, 1 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

Article split

Latest comment: 7 months ago1 comment1 person in discussion

The article is very large. I suggest to split a separate page, List of collections of fairy tales. - Altenmann >talk 15:57, 10 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
