[edit] Hooliganism

There is no initial "H" in Russian. Adam 05:44, 20 Jun 2005 (UTC)

I happened to be a native russian speaker, and yes there is a initial H in russian. In fact it is fairly common. The letter is called (Ha) and in cyrilic it is written as X or "Х". The words like cold(Holod Холод), bread(Hleb Хлеб), good (Horoshy Хороший), trunk (Hobot Хобот) all start with H or russian Х. the word for hooligan is Хулиган, and russian X is always trunsripted as H. For refernce check rambler.com dictionary [1] you will see that hooligan does indeed start with H(X) in russian.--Hq3473 17:43, 20 Jun 2005 (UTC)

I hesitate to argue with a native Russian speaker, but the cyrillic letter "X" is usually transcribed "Kh" as in Khrushchev (Хрущёв), and is not pronounced like "H" in English. It is pronounced either "kh" or "gh". I have listened to spoken Russian a lot and I know that Russians say, for example, "Ghitler" for Hitler and "ghomosexual" for homosexual. Adam 22:22, 20 Jun 2005 (UTC)

I didn't say Hitler and homosexual were spelled with a "X" in Russian. I know they are spelled Гитлер and Гомомосексуалист. I am talking about how they are pronounced, and therefore how they should be transcribed in English. I heard the Russian Ambassador speak on Victory Day and he clearly said "Ghitler", not "Khitler" nor "Hitler." Adam 01:04, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)

But I am happy with the change you have now made to the article. Spasibo. Adam 01:06, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Math notation (identity of indiscernibles)

Hello. Please note that you can write

\sqrt{49}\,

with the radical covering the entire numeral, rather than

\sqrt 49\,

which is what you put in identity of indiscernibles. Similarly, if you write

\sqrt{4+9+\cdots+100}\,

then the radical extends all the way across the sum, unlike what happens when you write:

\sqrt 4+9+\cdots+100. \,

[edit] lenin joke

I see you are a russin speaker. I also guess that you are young. This joke was originally about a hare, because it is a hare who is a hero of kindergarten songs. And a hare is "nice" (zainka-serenkij, etc.) and "smart" (not wise; he cheats wolf ahd fox all the time). I was going to fing a good version with hare and reinstate. But it will be OK for now.

I guess, the hedgehog version probably appeared later, already in post-Soviet times, when a hedgehog series of Russian jokes started. (I mean the jokes where hedgehog' s function was primarily being a funny word. Of course, there were quite a few jokes with hedgehog before, based on his main trait: lots of needles) mikka (t) 22:39, 7 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Yugoslavia

I reverted your change of Cyrillic spelling because it was wrong. Serbian and Macedonian use their own versions of Cyrillic which do not have iotized vowels and J is used instead. Zocky | picture popups 18:40, 27 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Veggie Pride is not spam

(Re the Ethics of eating meat page.)

You may not like the Veggie Pride, but it happens to be the only regular demonstration in the world expressing an ethical opposition to meat eating. It is also a Manifesto, a text stating clearly that opposition. The link to the Veggie Pride is perfectly relevant to the subject of the page and you have no justification in deleting it and calling it spam. (And additionally, spam is a form of meat, which the Veggie Pride is precisely not.)

In my humble opinion, The page is not about events organizations, etc, it is about ETHICS of eating meat. However notable the event might be it in my opinion does not provide the reader with any mores useful information on "Ethics of eating meat". While the reader may find that yes there exists some organization that strongly opposes eating meat this does not help him gain more understanding of the subject matter beyond what article already provides. All the points made in manifesto are already made in "Cause least harm" and "Animals have feelings and can suffer" subsections. And just to clarify i personally have nothing against Veggie Pride, i think it might be a usefull link on a page like Vegetarianism, just not on Ethics of eating meat page. --Hq3473 15:30, 22 April 2006 (UTC)
