Djenné-Djenno

Hi. I noticed that there's a discrepancy between the title of the article you plan to work on (Djenné-Djenno) and the way you refer to it in your sandbox (Jenné-Jeno). The article itself uses both spellings.

Do you have any idea as to which spelling is used more widely in English? If it's Jenné-Jeno, then you might consider moving the article to that title. If it's Djenné-Djenno, then I would suggest sticking to that spelling in your additions. Whatever your decision, I think that standardizing spelling within the article would be a good idea. (If you aren't sure which spelling would be best, you might try a move request, to see what other editors think; if you decide to go that way, ask me if you need any help.)

This is a tricky question - all of the old archaeology reports refer to the site as "Jenné-Jeno," I think. On the other hand, the modern town in this location is now often spelled Djenné. Let me talk to my colleague/friend who's worked at the site recently; she'll know the current consensus about spelling. I'll get back to you ASAP.

In all the literature I have read it has been spelled Jenné-Jeno. I was under the impression from one of the site reports that this is the English spelling while Djenné-Djenno is the French spelling. I would love to know what the current consensus on spelling is however, so I may include it on the final page. JLebowski94 (talk)

Article draft

Nice start with this sandbox article you have been working on. Please don't forget to add wikilinks to other articles, especially when you use refer to something that the average person might not be aware of. Links like that provide more information to many readers (if they want to know more). Ian (Wiki Ed) (talk) 19:17, 23 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
