LatinOK, thanks heaps for the translate. I overlooked the user/usor thing, mostly due to my ineptitude in Latin, and I redirected Lingva Latina to Lingua Latina as to avoid confusion, i was looking for the article and i automatically typed with the v, Lingva Latina is one of the only phrases I know. :) I'll keep the u/v thing in mind when I'll do stuff on the Latin Wikipedia. Thanks again for the translate, I've given you credit for it on the page. +Hexagon1 (talk) 04:11, 17 April 2006 (UTC) Newspeak BabelI created a new template for a Newspeak Babel. It's not an official Babel yet, and it only has one level, but I thought it was fun, and, given your help on the Vicipaedia on 1984, I thought you might appreciate it and possibly add it to your babel. You can throw it up by adding ns-2 to your Babel box. Later, zappa.jake (talk) 01:05, 21 April 2006 (UTC) Problem on my pageThe problem is fixed. Up for a game of wikichess? Hosted here.

Gangkhar PeunsumJust back from holiday, hence my delay in replying. I certainly didn't translate "Gangkhar Peunsum". I found the translation either on-line or in Steven Berry's book (reference in article), I suspect in the latter. I have a copy of the book but when I last tried to find it I couldn't! I'll try again. However, Berry is a mountaineer and was probably just repeating what someone told him. Thincat 08:56, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
Style guideHi Josh - my apologies for not getting back to you earlier. I was away for a little bit and just saw your message. I don't know of a page in the Wikipedia namespace that addresses exactly what you are looking for. Have you taken a look at Wikipedia:Manual of Style? It has a lot of material, so it might take some time to find what you need. Generally, I tell new users to add material in a manner that makes the information transparent and clear. Usually, it then becomes easier to determine the style that is needed for the page. I hope this helps, and please let me know if you come across anything interesting related to this - I'd like to know more about it too! --HappyCamper 02:41, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

If the name still exists it also prevents someone else from using that as a name. It should be harmless. Adam Bishop 03:56, 22 October 2006 (UTC) GenomaiTo begin with, I don't know if the Greek Wikipedia really counts as the definitive source on the matter. If anything, the French Wikipedia would be more authoritative as it was a Frenchman who named the element. My reference was the OED online, which cited the -gen suffix as being generally related to γίνομαι, γένος, γεννάω, etc. I guess I simply took it upon myself to pick the most appropriate word from these related roots for the article. Upon further reading, the OED claims that Lavoisier claimed his naming to be based on γείνομαι, which I have not even heard of. Admittedly, I'm not terribly advanced in Ancient Greek (5 semesters undergrad), and it was entirely focused on NT and LXX Koine, so my ignorance of a word is not too noteworthy. Have you heard of γείνομαι? Is it related to any of the aforementioned words? If so, perhaps a pragmatic approach could have γείνομαι listed in the article, and have it linked to γίνομαι or γεννάω or something, so that readers would at least have something useful to investigate. Sorry for the late reply. Cerealkiller13 07:49, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

Re: Vox Causathanks for the explanation. I will probably change the definition on my talk page. I took two years of Latin in middle school(intermediate school, before secondary school, or high school), but that has faded away since then. My current user name was just a quick online translation, as a previous user name(same thing, except in English) bore too close a resemblance to another Wikipedian. I doubt I will change user names, as I already have a substantial amount from edits to this account.

Scandrett (talk)22:20, 30 January 2007 (UTC) Request for edit summaryWhen editing an article on Wikipedia there is a small field labeled "Edit summary" under the main edit-box. It looks like this: The text written here will appear on the Recent changes page, in the page revision history, on the diff page, and in the watchlists of users who are watching that article. See m:Help:Edit summary for full information on this feature. Filling in the edit summary field greatly helps your fellow contributors in understanding what you changed, so please always fill in the edit summary field, especially for big edits or when you are making subtle but important changes, like changing dates or numbers. Thank you. – Oleg Alexandrov (talk) 16:17, 4 February 2007 (UTC) User page changesSorry to make so many edits to your user page. The net result of my changes from your last revision was just to remove links to level-0 language categories that were deleted at WP:UCfD and unicodify your the interwiki for your Russian user account.

Soviet anthem parodyHello! Well, when I asked to servusDei, I told him that I didn't want a literally translation, but some next to a poetic, a thing that sounds great to a native, as he is.

Chris Cunningham (user:thumperward) - talk 12:02, 18 August 2011 (UTC) Translation help neededHey, I saw you mentioned at Wikipedia:Translators_available#Latin-to-English. Translation help needed for the articles Rus' people, Rus (name), Kievan Rus', Rus' Khaganate, and probably also Varangians and Annales Bertiniani. Original Latin source: [6] (starting with "Venerunt etiam legati Graecorum a Theophilo imperatore directi, Theodosius videlicet, Calcedonensis metropolitanus episcopus, et Theophanius spatharius, ferentes cum donis imperatore dignis epistolam quos imperator quinto decimo Kalendas Iunii in Ingulenheim honorifice suscepit" on that page, and continuing AFAIK for two more pages). The Latin source I need help on is the Annales Bertiniani, which is a collection of Frankish annals that was completed in 882 AD. The issue behind this is the historical first mention of the Rus' people, which was a Norse tribe, also known as the Varangians from Sweden that, starting in the 9th century from Novgorod and Kiev (Kievan Rus') and allegedly under the leadership of their chieftain Rurik (or rather RøRikR in Old Norse) conquered portions of the Baltics and today's northwestern Russia, a realm which was soon known as the Rus' Khaganate (with the result that lots of placenames, such as Novgorod, actually have an Old Norse etymology). Eventually, the Rus' Khaganate, even though the Norse ruling elite was but small and soon assimilated to the Balto-Slavic population, became the nucleus and namegiver for modern Russia. The thing is, this so-called Normannic theory is still kinda controversial, as modern Russian scholars often regard it as a modern romantic nationalist myth originating with late-19th century Pan-Germanism. What the Russians are saying is that the original Rus were actually Slavs. Now, these 9th century Annales Bertiniani seem to be a rather authoritative, and, given their time of origination, pretty concise, source to refute these Russian scholars. What I get of this Latin text is only the gist of it. Apparently, a delegation of Rus people were interrogated by Frankish Emperor Louis the Pious at Ingelheim am Rhein in 839 AD, where they said that:
Chacanus is Latin for Khagan, a title they had likely borrowed from contact with the Avars while conquering from the Baltic coast southward. It's why their realm in centuries to come was to be known as the Rus' Khaganate. But what I need for good sourcing is an exact translation of portions relevant to the informations bulleted above. Original Latin text at [7] (starting with "Venerunt etiam legati Graecorum a Theophilo imperatore directi, Theodosius videlicet, Calcedonensis metropolitanus episcopus, et Theophanius spatharius, ferentes cum donis imperatore dignis epistolam quos imperator quinto decimo Kalendas Iunii in Ingulenheim honorifice suscepit" on that page, and continuing AFAIK for two more pages). --79.193.34.87 (talk) 02:55, 29 August 2011 (UTC)

Latin wikiAve Ioscius, I think you welcomed me at vicipaedia? Is there a place where I can ask for help? The administrators (magisters) over at the latin wiki are a bit extreme, or cultic. I'm sure my grammar is correct but they seem to abuse this dub sig notifications. In this instance, there is no 'classic latin' word for identity. Identitas is considered new or medieval latin. This is not the only instance of abuse but there are others. The article was 'improved by the way' meaning a lot of the core ideas were simply removed. So you have great grammar with hardly any content. Thanks.--Jondel (talk) 06:44, 3 December 2012 (UTC) ArbCom Elections 2016: Voting now open!Hello, Ioscius.
