[edit] Latin

What was the Latin project you asked user:Jowfair about? --Iustinus 00:35, 12 January 2006 (UTC)

Um... you're welcome, but I'm not entirely sure how I've helped you. --Iustinus 20:50, 12 January 2006 (UTC)
I was more curious than anything. I would certainly be willing to help you, if I can find the time. I did take a quick look at the page, and noticed only minor errors... nitpicks even. If I get a chance I'll correct some.
Oh, and btw, my screenname starts with an i not an l... it has nothing to do with lust :P --Iustinus 18:14, 13 January 2006 (UTC)

Regarding your welcome to the Latin wikipedia, what don't you understand about "these things"? --Iustinus 22:22, 15 January 2006 (UTC)

I'm not mad, I'm just not sure what you mean. --Iustinus 16:28, 16 January 2006 (UTC)
I understood that. It's just that you said "But maybe you didn't realize, i don't know how these things work :)", and I wasn't sure what that meant. I mean, if there's a specific problem, there's a chance I would be able to help ;) --Iustinus 19:51, 16 January 2006 (UTC)
No no, I knew who you were. I don't think that's any reason not to send the welcome. More to the point, I only just made that welcome template a few days ago, so I'm eager to use it whenever possible ;) --Iustinus 16:04, 17 January 2006 (UTC)

Sorry, I've been getting increasingly busy lately and probably shouldn't be wasting so much time on wikipedia to begin with. I should take a look at your lunae maria page one of these days, though, like I said I would. --Iustinus 17:13, 26 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] My apologies

Sorry if my quick use of the copyedit tag on Latina (Madrid) was offensive. I thought the article would have benefited from it, and somehow didn't realize you were still editing. –Mysid(t) 10:16, 13 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Ladino

Hola Gaudio,

(usted prefiere hablar en ingles o español? Puedo hablar en los dos) No estoy seguro de la repuesta a su pregunta, porque tengo ninguna experiencia con la lengua en situaciones actuales donde tendria que pensar de las formas diferentes de la segunda persona para usar. Sin embargo, creo que no hay diferencias entre el useo de la segunda persona en Ladino y Español. Tambien el 'babel template' de Ladino en mi Wiki no funciona correctamente, asi mi conocimiento realmente es mas cerca de nivel dos de la lengua :P. Saludos, Hauser 12:04, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

Oh ok, thank you for the clarification. Now, from what I've seen (which admittedly isn't a LOT of Ladino), 'usted' is not used at all. Tu/vozótros is the pretty much standard way of referencing each other: I think part of this could be due to the fact that Ladino speakers are a close group and don't really traditionally use the same polite forms. Vos only occurs in the accusative case from what I have seen. Hope that is of some help! Hauser 14:27, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

Indeed, plus I think a lot of the time the passive 'se' form is used as well when being polite. It's possible there is a way of doing it that I've never heard, so I'll ask someone next time I see a Ladino speaker on the Ladino Yahoo Group. About the Chinese, that's good to hear (and yes I agree it's very hard!). What operating system do you use? The best way of turning pinyin into chinese characters is using the built in language thing, but si estas usando Linux o otras sistemas, tienes que obtener una programa como 'NJ star' (http://www.njstar.com hay ediciones gratis en la red ;D). Saludos! Hauser 01:22, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
Pues 'Windows' es la sistema de ordenadores (Podria llamarse 'Ventanas' en Español) http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Windows es la pagina de lo en Wiki. Tienes un CD de 'Windows'? Si tienes, puedes usarlo para escribir palabras chinas por el ordenador. Gracias, Hauser 12:10, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Seamus Heaney

So i can classify Seamus Heaney in: writers in English, writers in Irish and writers in Anglo-Saxon, right?

That is correct.--Play Brian Moore 01:08, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Ayuda con los artículos sobre España

Hola, Gaudio, soy Garcilaso. Estoy echándole un vistazo a los artículos relativos a la cultura y el arte españoles, y me he encontrado con que hay lagunas muuuuuy grandes en esta enciclopedia, que no hacen justicia en absoluto a nuestra historia. Me he metido enWikipedia:WikiProject Spain, pero tiene muy pocos miembros (5), y no está muy activo. Te pido tu colaboración para arreglar un poco el artículo Spanish poetry, que da pena verlo. Mi nivel de inglés es relativamente bueno, pero cuando uno escribe en serio es cuando se da cuenta de las carencias gramaticales... En general la situación está muy mal. Si bien hay unos cuantos escritores españoles con artículo propio, hay carencias, sobre todo en los artículos generales: Spanish poetry, Spanish Literature, Spanish Renaissance... He visto que estás escribiendo artículos sobre poetas, actores...Creo que es bueno coordinarse un poco, así que te animo a apuntarte al wikiproyecto. Un saludo, --Garcilaso 15:01, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

Gracias por tu contestación. Efectivamente la Wikipedia en inglés es la "madre de todas las wikipedias", y se puede encontrar información a veces más amplia que en las específicas. Es por eso que es importante rellenar los huecos sobre nuestra cultura, porque si no, para un gran número de gente que consulte, ni siquiera se enterará de que existe. Como bien dices, los escritores están bastante bien cubiertos aquí. Pero, por ejemplo, échale un vistazo a Castile y alucina. La confusión de términos, y las colaboraciones mal documentadas hacen que no sea un caso aislado. Según el artículo, hoy día Castilla se divide en Castilla la Nueva y Castilla la Vieja, y luce frases como "Castilians are known as the inhabitants of those regions of Spain where there is no regional identity which conflicts with that of "Castilian". "Castilian identity is now defined negatively rather than positively", y se mete en emobados como poco discutibles, como que los extremeños del norte son castellanos y los del sur andaluces... sin mencionar nada de la cultura catellana. Este artículo es sólo un ejemplo (aunque bastante gordo) de lo que pasa en general con los temas españoles en esta enciclopedia, y supongo que se debe a lo que dices, a que los hispanoparlantes somos algo reacios a traducir textos. Yo mismo me he limitado a completar listas en varios artículos y a escribir algunos párrafos en artículos como Baroque, Baroque architecture, Romanesque architecture, Renaissance architecture y otros del estilo, pero mi capacidad es limitada. No creo que se trate de suplir todas las carencias y escribir artículos memorables, sino de rellenar mínimamente todos los vacíos clamorosos. Respecto a Spanish poetry, con que eches un vistazo sobre todo a los del último siglo e incorpores los que nombres creas conveniente creo que sería más que suficiente. Claro que el artículo daría para escribir un libro, pero poco a poco, ¿no? :-) Agradezco tu apoyo, y considero admirable la cantidad de artículos que llevas escrito sobre el tema. Un saludo, y hasta la vista. --Garcilaso 10:56, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Use of {{stub}} is no longer recommended

Hello,

Thank you for your stub submission. You may wish to note that it is preferable to use a stub template from Wikipedia:WikiProject Stub sorting/Stub types instead of using simply {{stub}}, if you can.

Thanks! -- Where 03:27, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Estefan vs. Estéfan

Regarding your edit to the article Gloria Estéfan, please do not replace articles with blank content as this is considered vandalism. It looks like you wanted to create a redirect instead. Cheers. --PeruvianLlama(spit) 20:45, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

The best way of dealing with an incorrect (yet still popular) spelling is to create a redirect to the correctly spelled article. So Gloria Estéfan should redirect to Gloria Estefan. And if it were a popular misconception of how Gloria's name were spelled, or even a popular typo, we could have Gloria Estephan redirect to Gloria Estefan as well. Redirects are cheap, and if it helps even a few potential Wiki-readers find what they're looking for, then it's worth it. Cheers! --PeruvianLlama(spit) 07:34, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Oscar de la Renta

This is the English Wikipedia, and Oscar uses the English spelling as the name space article was before your move to Óscar de la Renta, so I question this. Even his logo and signature do not use the form you have moved the article to. The redirect, it seems to me, should be the other way around. Comments? Doc 15:14, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

I understand that you would be correct for Castillian usage, but the guideline for article titles on Wikipedia is the 'common' usage most prevalent and/or what the person uses. I have never seen him use this form personally or in business. As such, at most it should be an alternative in the article as the name origin, and a redirect from Óscar de la Renta to Oscar de la Renta for the rare person that might search for it that way. Consistent MoS here on the English Wikipedia would still, I believe, dictate that Oscar de la Renta should be the article title. Doc 23:07, 24 June 2006 (UTC)
As I have said before, I do not question the 'correct' if here were living in a country using Castillian, or perhaps even in the Spanish v. of Wikipedia. I am only stating was is correct by standard usage on the English Wikipedia. If he used the foreign form here that would make a significant difference, but he does not, as I have stated before. Thanks for your understanding. Doc 02:12, 26 June 2006 (UTC)
Don't know that I really consider myself 'famous' but a friend thought I should be listed and started the entry based on what she knew and my user bio here and on Find A Grave. Yes, I've been in medical research, sleep research to be specific for almost forty years, but have always loved history and had used Wikipedia as a resource for several years. When a friend of mine was picked up from his obituary in the New York Times, here on Wikipedia, but didn't have an article yet, that started my contributing. Now I'm hooked!
While I understand that English is language based, not a national project, as I understand it one of the cornerstones of naming articles here is 'common usage' and/or what the person themselves use. On that basis, I did change the title back to Oscar de la Renta with the redirect from Óscar de la Renta, but I did leave the opening name in the article which should be the full name as Óscar de la Renta. I hope that this balance is acceptable to you.
For instance the title of Bill Clinton's article is not William Jefferson Clinton, it is Bill Clinton, which is the common usage. The opening line of the article has his full name and his name at birth. Does this make sense? Hope so, and good to dialogue with you. Doc 14:54, 26 June 2006 (UTC)
Not sure that I understand quite what you mean to be something different. I try to check my spelling for clarity. If you would like to dialogue further, how about clicking the link to email me from my user page and we could discuss further. I'm also very interested as you contribute in Spanish and French, both of which I can read and understand some, but am not adequate to write clearly. There are several articles that I would like to see included in those languages. Thanks, Doc 18:15, 26 June 2006 (UTC)
When I click your 'Email this user' it says "This user has not specified a valid e-mail address, or has chosen not to receive e-mail from other users." That link on my user page should work, others have used it and when I tried it right now it links to the email form for me. Doc 20:24, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] 's after z

I would recommend using "Lopez's" in all situations. Current usage in the case of names ending with s (such as my name: James) varies. Both James' and James's can be considered to be correct. Personally I have a strong preference for "James's". With names ending in z, where the pronunciation is /loupezis/ most speakers would write Lopez's, and that is what I'd recommend you do too. Zeimusu | Talk page 15:07, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Accent marks

You've done several page moves to add accent marks to several people's names. Unless the person is commonly credited with an accent mark in their name, these changes are not correct. Above, Doc has already explained why you shouldn't do this, but you haven't stopped. So I am asking you now to please stop or you might be crossing into vandalism. It would be nice if you reverted your changes (i'll be reverting some anyway, but there are quite a few to do). Also, please read Wikipedia:Naming conventions (people). Thank you. Crumbsucker 10:20, 16 July 2006 (UTC)

I understand that your intentions were not malicious, but we have to follow the naming standards on English Wikipedia. It's fine to create a redirect with the accents, but the formal article names have to follow the rules. Crumbsucker 11:05, 16 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Continuation of page moves, vandalism warning

Welcome to Wikipedia. We invite everyone to contribute constructively to our encyclopedia. Take a look at the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing. However, unconstructive edits are considered vandalism, and if you continue in this manner you may be blocked from editing without further warning. Please stop, and consider improving rather than damaging the work of others. Thank you. Crumbsucker 12:09, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

None of it matters. Even if a person doesn't credit themselves with proper accentuation, we still have to go with it. I'm not an administrator, so i can't block you, only warn you. You may, however, be blocked by an administrator if you don't stop. So please stop because you will be reverted and warned. Crumbsucker 13:57, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
Tell me what ones and i'll check them. Crumbsucker 10:58, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Concha Buika

Some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article Concha Buika may not be sufficiently well-known to merit articles of their own. The Wikipedia community welcomes newcomers, and encourages them to become Wikipedians. On Wikipedia, all users are entitled to a user page in which they can describe themselves, and this article's content may be incorporated into that page. However, to merit inclusion in the encyclopedia proper, a subject must be notable. We encourage you to write or improve articles on notable subjects. Jibbles | Talk 14:05, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

When I spotted the article it appeared to be covered by WP:NN as a non-notible artist. The criteria for speedy deletion is "an article about a real person, group of people, band, or club that does not assert the importance or significance of its subject", and I didn't believe that the article asserted any importance. I therefore nominated it for speedy deletion, but the admin who checked it disagreed and it wasn't deleted. Having looked deeper into the topic, I see I was mistaken. My apologies.

[edit] Reverting incorrect page moves is not vandelism

Neither is doing a page move that conforms to the MoS. Placing a false warning on someone's user talk page is vandelism, tho. Especially an unsigned one. You need to accept the fact that you are wrong and move along. Crumbsucker 00:38, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Another warning for improper, uncited name changes

Welcome to Wikipedia. We invite everyone to contribute constructively to our encyclopedia. Take a look at the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing.

[edit] Richard Ramírez

I see that back in May you moved the article on serial killer Richard Ramírez to the version with an accent.[1] I don't see any sources which spell the name that way, or any discussion of the change. Do you recall what your source was? -Will Beback · † · 05:32, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for your reply. "Ramírez" may be a common Spanish name, but the subject of our article was born in Texas. Do we have any source which gives his name with an accent? -Will Beback · † · 17:26, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
Good answer for the general surname. However my question is not about the original surname, but about the actual usage in regard to Richard Ramirez, who was born and lived in the United States. Other than this article, I have never seen his name spelled with an accent, and WP:NC says:
  • Generally, article naming should give priority to what the majority of English speakers would most easily recognize, with a reasonable minimum of ambiguity, while at the same time making linking to those articles easy and second nature.
The more specific Wikipedia:Naming conventions (people) says:
  1. the name that is most generally recognisable
  2. the name that is unambiguous with the name of other articles
I think that "Ramirez" is more recognizable as the subject's name than "Ramírez". Some proof is that within Wikipedia most links to the article use the unaccented name.[2] If the subject were Spanish or Latin American I can see that an accented name might be more widely used. But I doubt that this particular Ramirez ever used an accent. -Will Beback · † · 01:27, 6 January 2007 (UTC)
PS: I've posted a question at Wikipedia talk:Naming conventions (people)#Accented names to seek input on the general issue. -Will Beback · † · 01:37, 6 January 2007 (UTC)
If the accents are appropriate and proper then I'm all for having accents. But if there's no accent on a person's birth certificate, for example, or their screen credits, or their book covers, or websites, then why should we add it to their bio in Wikipedia? There's no evidence that the person Richard Ramirez ever spelled his name with an accent or that anyone else in English-speaking world ever did either. Names change, especially among immigrants to the U.S. If the consensus of sources have the spelling without an accent then it seems more correct to follow that spelling. Otherwise we're using Wikipedia as a soapbox, proscribing instead of describing. -Will Beback · † · 10:44, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] re: British Sign language

Hi. I removed it because the movie is not in sign language. There are a few lines of dialouge that are in sign language, but I don't think that's enough to call it a sign language film, any more than having a few lines in French makes a film French language. Kolindigo 19:14, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

Well, I can't speak for The Exorcism of Emily Rose, having never seen it, but I disagree with your statement that all the movies which have even just a few sentences in a given language can be included in the category. Four Weddings is an English language film that has some dialouge in sign language. Listing it under sign language makes it seem like the entire movie is signed. Furthermore, all the signed dialouge is subtitled, so it's not like you need to be able to understand sign language to watch the movie. Kolindigo 23:16, 18 January 2007 (UTC)
Yes, but I still don't see why Four Weddings should be classified as a British Sign Language film when there isn't more than ten minutes of signing in the entire movie. Kolindigo 23:51, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] re: Raiders

Hi, Gaudio. In a similar query, I'm wondering if you (maybe backed by some Wikiproject) are starting the task of including every language occurrence in all films' infoboxes? I see the point of doing so if a film is split telling its story in 2 or 3 languages (by all means no limit if significant), but not everything overheard or subtitled in a film. It makes infoboxes terribly long and mistakenly gives the impression of listing dubbed versions.. It just seems the sort of thing rather mentioned in a Trivia section if there were notably many languages featured. MURGH disc. 22:05, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

I'll continue responding to you on this page since it is where it started.
Yes there are long infoboxes although the point isn't to make them as long as possible. The big problem is that it is a misrepresentation of the main language of a film. Right now, Raiders is listed in a category as a French-language film, which it just isnt. -MURGH disc. 22:36, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Having your own page deleted

If you create a page, and before anyone else edits it you decide to have it deleted, like what seems to have happened with Category:Afgan_Buddhists, please put a {{db-self}} at the top of the page, in stead of blanking it. This will attract an administrator to it to have it deleted. Eli Falk 11:14, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Thalía is not Greek

From my research on all the posts on this article, there is nothing that indicates she is Greek (please see talkpage). An anonymous IP made the changes to all her family. If you read any bio on Thalía, she was born to Mexican parents. I forget what happened to her Dad but her Mom remarried a Greek. On the basis of the unreliable edits to all her family and the info on her talkpage, I am going to reverse your edit. If you can find a citation to prove, then that will be a different matter.

[edit] Paulina Rubio and Madonna are not Yogis

You clearly don't even know what a Yogi is. That is obvious. Madonna is not worthy of such a title, neither is Paulina Rubio.

Well, you tell me I'm right, in the article of the category you can see that you can put any person who practise yoga, but a yogi is sth more than that, and you had Madonna in that category. Gaudio 17:55, 27 January 2007 (UTC)

Hola, thank you for contributing to Wikipedia. I was looking though the articles you created and none of those I looked at had any references at all.

There was just your consensus, you didn't care for anyone else's opinions, something you guys are very used to do in Spanish wikipedia. You guys cannot use your caciquism here, just in Spanish wikipedia, the worst wikpedia EVER thanks to people like you. Gaudio 08:57, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Óscar

Hi there! Just a quick note on the spelling of Oscar (eu, Oscar Ruggeri). In Spanish, most those names are accentuated in the last syllable, not the first one, and are thus spelled Oscar and not Óscar. If in doubt, leave a message in the article's talk page. As a general rule, in Argentina it is (almost) never Óscar. Take care, and good wiking. --Mariano(t/c) 12:26, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

Oscar* is a mistake due tu several limitations in computers and typewriters among others when a word should be accentuated, Even the pronunciation /Os'kar/ can be considered a wrong pronunciation due to this issue. But in the end you can accentuate those names as you wish, first because in official documents names are not accentuate, and secondly because the articles you guys have misaccentuated are articles which deal with football players, and in my opinion, those articles should not be in an encyclopaedia. Gaudio 22:17, 16 April 2007 (UTC)
In Spanish Oscar is NOT a mistake due to computer limitations. And in Spanish, official names ARE accentuated, but only when they need to, and Oscar is not one of them. In Argentina, Oscar is pronounced osCAR, and has no written accent at all. Please, stop moving those pages because the proper spelling doesn't include an accent. --Mariano(t/c) 17:08, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

That's not true, in my ID there are no accents in my first family name, for instance. The correct spelling of this name is Óscar, Oscar* is a great mistake due to what I told you. I don't care you misaccentuate those articles, in my opinion they sho~uld not be in an encyclopaedia. If you want to know a little but more about misaccentuation in Castillian, you can read my user page in Spanish wikipedia. Gaudio 15:03, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

It's not about spelling, it's about the guy's name being Oscar and not Óscar. In Argentina the name is Oscar without an accent, and that's what people have in ther IDs. For instance, Oscar Galíndez has the accent in the lastname, but not in the name, simply becase the name doesn't have one, even if you consider it a mistake; thats the real name of that person, without the accent. --Mariano(t/c) 18:57, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Croatian language

Gaudio, this comment on this edit of yours [[3]] is insult.
Second, you don't know Croatian language, as I see on your userpage.
How can you speak about an language if you don't speak it nor understand it?
Third, Croatian language has three dialects.
". In short: Croats are the only speakers of Chakavian (subdialects with Ikavian, Ekavian and Jekavian speech) and Kajkavian (subdialects with Ekavian and Ikavian speech) dialect. Shtokavian dialect also has more "subdialects", that can be referred exclusively to one nation. Slavonian Shtokavian (mostly Ikavian speech) is spoken exclusively by the Croats. East Bosnian Shtokavian (mostly Jekavian speech) is spoken among Croats, Bosnian Muslims (Bosniaks) and as minor, among Serbs (on the mountain Ozren). Kosovo-Resava Shtokavian (Ekavian speech) is spoken exclusively by the Serbs. Zeta-Sanjak Shtokavian (Ijekavian speech) is spoken mostly by Montenegrins, Bosnian Muslims (Bosniaks) and Serbs. Bosnian-West Herzegovina-Dalmatian Shtokavian (Ikavian speech) is spoken exclusively by Croats. Dubrovnik Shtokavian (Ijekavian speech) was in past an individual, today is more similar with East Herzegovina Shtokavian (but still has its "specialties"). East Herzegovina Shtokavian (Ijekavian) is spoken by the Serbs, Bosnian Muslims (Bosniaks), Montenegrins and Croats. Vojvodina-Šumadija Shtokavian (Ekavian speech) is spoken exclusively by the Serbs. Torlakian dialect doesn't belong to this group. In fact, this is a ...interdialect, transitional from Serb language to Bulgarian and Macedonian language. Exclusively spoken by Serbs. There's a small enclave of Croats in Romania that speaks with this dialect, but that doesn't change the picture, that's the dialect of Serb language. So, you see, it's not the case that "Croatian is just a dialect."
If you don't understand linguistic matters, as it is obviuos case, than, please, don't mess. Deal with relations of Spanish, Gallego and Portuguese. Why don't you have b*lls to provocate Portuguese with "they are a Spanish dialect, that's a linguistic reality".
Calling Croatian as part of "Serbocroatian" IS an heavy insult for Croats.
Or you think that you're more Croat than Croats themselves?
My behaviour "can be considered an insult for some people"? Whome, child? I only disturb someone's fake world built on lies.
With that what I've done on that category, I can show that to anyone in Croatia and walk freely. But with that what you've done to that category, if you show that to anyone in Croatia or Croat-inhabited areas in Bosnia and Herzegovina, you won't be to able to walk freely there, without thinking what really bad may happen to you.
Gaudio, think twice before you write something. Kubura 18:49, 23 June 2007 (UTC)

You don't have to speak a language to know about its history, and the category was created because there were fims categorisied as Serbo-Croatian language films directly. Gaudio 18:22, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

You're not getting me, Gaudio.
Maybe such matters aren't insulting for Galicians and Portuguese (I know very well that they belong to the same group). You still haven't told me what would Portuguese say if someone call them as Spanish-speaking? And call their language as Spanish (because it developed from an vulgarized dialect of Spanish)? I would NEVER call Portuguese language as Spanish, neither put it in a category "Spanish languages".
Let's return to the original subject, calling Croatian language as "Serbocroat" is a heavy insult for Croats.
Point is, the term is heavily compromised, because under that term was hidden greaterserbian language policy, policy against independent development and existence of Croatian language. That policy was the policy of violent merging of two languages, at the expense of Croatian (there's a lot about that on the main and talk pages of Differences between Bosnian, Croatian and Serbian standard languages, as well as on the same pages of respective languages).
Because of that, the term "Serbocroatian" isn't in use in linguistics (to be correct, it is in process of abandoning).
For that diasystem, the other term is proposed "Central South Slavic diasystem" (by academic Brozović).
If you look better, here on Wikipedia, we don't use the template "Serbocroatian languages and dialects".
We have template "Central South Slavic languages and dialects", Template:Southslavlang). No user (speaker of those languages) objected to that. Neither Croat, neither Serb, neither Bosniak (Bos. Muslim), neither Montenegrin.
Why are you making problems now?
Further: if you think that categorisation is problem, you're wrong.
Then, why don't you put Dutch-language films into German-language films, because Dutch language is form of Lower German? Or why don't you put the Hindi-language films and Urdu-language films into Hindi-Urdu language films category? Or, why don't you put Galician and Portuguese in Spanish-language films?
Why don't you try to provocate speakers of those languages?
Next thing. In Yugoslavia, it was never the case that Croatian language movies could be categorised as "Serbocroatian". NEVER.
Croatian language in Yugoslavia had official name as "Croatian" (hrvatski) and "Croatian or Serbian" ("hrvatski ili srpski", from 1973.-1990.). NEVER "Serbocroatian".
Serbian language in Yugoslavia never had such designation. Serbian was called "Serbocroatian" (I don't know if they used solely "Serbian").
So, you are the one that does not care about encyclopaedic information. You are the one that push stereotypes. You are making the problems there, where shouldn't be any.
At last. Category is "films by language", not "films by diasystems", "films by languagegroups", etc.. Kubura 12:02, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

Well first of all, Dutch and German are two different languages, Spanish and Portuguese too, but Hindi and Urdu are basicly the same language, Hindi is written in Devanagari, Urdu with the Arabic system; Hindi takes some of its vocabulary from Sanskrit and Urdu from Persian or Arabian, but you are right Hindi and Urdu are the same language. The problem with Serbo-Croatian-language films is that there are some films categorised directly like that.
With all those commentaries, you're proving that you have no idea about languages. If you consider the whole Europe, for instance, you can realise that in the zones of every language, you see lots of resemblances. If you consider the development of French, for example, you can see that, as in German, French is also a created language from several linguistic realities in France (langues d'oïl, langues d'oc). I'm sure that there must be studies which deal with geography and changes from dialect to language, and of course I know that almost every language name is based on political issues, but the problem with that category in concrete is that there are films categorised as Serbo-Croatian-language films.
And if you had investigated a little bit more, you could have realised that there are some categories which include several languages in the same category, such as Chinese-language-films, a Mandarin speaker does not understand Cantonese for instance, if s/he has not learnt that language.

[edit] Muchisimus gracias!

Thanks so much for entering the Tibetan script in the boxes for some of the Dalai Lamas. Would it be possible to do the same for the Panchen Lamas, if and when you have time? I have been trying to get Tibetan script running on my machine with very limited success - so I really appreciate the help. Do you know of the easiest way for me to enter Tibetan script - I am running Windows XP and Office 2003?

Buena suerte,

Hasta luego! John Hill 09:46, 8 November 2007 (UTC)

Muchisimus gracias otra vez! Thanks so much for all the useful info you have posted on my Talk page - I was aware of (and using) some of it already - but there is new info there for me to follow up on. Please excuse me for not writing to you in Spanish. Although I spoke it fluently when I was young, and love the language, I am really out of practice after living in Australia most of the time since 1964. I speak it haltingly now and cannot write it well at all, but I can still read and enjoy it (with a dictionary to hand for the odd word). Hasta la vista! John Hill 23:03, 8 November 2007 (UTC)
