Also, the contents describe an unofficial variation on the theme of official (BPFK) Lojban, containing many experimental cmavo, selma'o and constructions. Now, there are many dialects of Lojban extant, and they all appear on the wiki. This means that such dialects should be marked off by a template or warning at the top of a page. Yet many, if not most of the CC's pages don't warn the reader this way. It is important to do so, as it doesn't confuse that reader into thinking some construct is official while it isn't. There are many solutions to this problem.

  Oh, you failed riposta apprentice. Even though you've removed the line, "this course teaches modern dialects of Lojban", you're still linking to the modified parser. If you removed that and you think you're "done", you're wrong. I've had 5 seconds of looking at the table of contents, and have at this:
  https://mw.lojban.org/papri/The_Crash_Course_(a_draft)#za.27o_-_still.2C_xa.27o_-_already
  Now, {xa'o} is experimental, so don't tell me you ain't teachin' theez effin' modern dialects of Lojban.

  I shall make a list of inconsistencies in CC, so that nothing like this happens again. And also, all Lojbans are equal, so your definition of {banzu frica be le jbobau} is far too irrational.

  Also, why do you delete pages' histories? It's illegal to do so on a wiki. You've abused your admin rights in order to hide the truth. Now that's what I call a crime!

>> is, by the community itself. For example: is the selpa'i 's JE model counted? Is {xoi} in it? One could ask such questions night-long, and wouldn't get a brick solid answer. So why not capture it? Then we're only a template away from victory!

>>   (A rationale for such a thing: at any point, gleki can add {moi'i'au'e} of ME (”x1 is a fish swimming in patterns [sumti]"), declare it as the modern dialect, and suddenly a new army of nintadni would flush the jbogu'e talking about the peculiar swimming patterns of salmon. Now that's what I call evil! In order to avoid such silliness, a list of accepted experimental stuff would form, and no such personal mix-and-match morphing of the language of unaware learners would occur.)

  Nope, they can say it's unofficial Lojban, which is one way out of the problem. But your course is different — there are many pages. Removing it right away would solve the problem quickly.

  I'm working on one, so you can stop blaming me like that. And be more critical about what you do, abuser.
