Talk:Donaldism
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] To-do of this article
- I don't know of an official English translation of Gisle's book but if such one exists, the quotations should probably follow that instead of my English translation of the Danish translation. Same thing with the names of the periods from the book.
- As hinted in the article I am not aware of anyone having updated Gisle's time table after 1973 but this should probably be envestigated further.
- There are probably more fanzines than those listed (probably even from non-listed countries). They need descriptions, or at least mentioning.
- Some of the fanzines are simply put on a list because I don't know much about them and/or am not able to read them. They should probably have a more thorough description like the others.
- Probably more...

Hmmm, I note that "klodrism" is translated to "fethrism", after Fethry Duck. Curiously, in the Swedish translation, the original word was used, instead of the translation "knasism", since it was claimed a translation would destroy the original meaning of the scientific terminology, or something like that... =S Also, in the Danish translation, apparently, "klodrism" instead of "vimsism".
[edit] Klodrism = fethrism
Too late... I'm afraid that at Gemstone, we've published a few articles actually translating klodrism to fethrism, so that's now its most-often used English name. I wonder why others objected to translating the name from Norwegian? 68.6.84.194 07:55, 25 December 2006 (UTC)
- According to a note in the Swedish translation, (Ankismen, translated by Göran Ribe, 1976 edition, page 49, rough translation into English)
The authors have strongly opposed evry attempt to replace the word "klodrism" with a Swedish equivalent, claiming that would shake the foundations of what is Donaldist research. 惑乱 分からん 19:45, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
- I have no idea about the real reason, maybe it's part of the academic humor that was so frequent in early Donaldism. Also, the authors even invented a pseudo-Latin form clodrismus. 惑乱 分からん 19:45, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
