Please do not Americanise grammar at Talk:Banana. jimfbleak 06:50, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

I'm afraid few things are guaranteed to upset non-North Americans as quickly as Americanising spelling or grammar (incidentally the "h" in herb is sounded in Brit/Oz English, which is why it's "A herb"). What American website? Wikipedia is a global project, despite the servers being in Florida, Still, as you say it's a time of goodwill, so MERRY CHRISTMAS, jimfbleak 15:41, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the reversion - the comment doesn't reflect the spirit of Christmas though. Jimfbleak.talk.06:16, 16 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Removal of citations from Bengali language

If you have anything about the citation, please mention your comments in the talk page of the article. By not doing so, and continuously blanking the citation, your edits look like vandalism. Please discuss this in the talk page before making any further edits. Thank you. --Ragib 05:54, 14 February 2007 (UTC)


In case you are not looking closely, Bengali's total native speaker count is 247 million according to the 2004 CIA book. --Ragib 05:59, 14 February 2007 (UTC)


Huh? Nobody outside Bangladesh and West Bengal speaks Bangla as their native. So, *Where* on earth do you get those 50 million Bengali speakers? Bangladesh's total population is 150 million, West Bengal has a similarly large population. Please show *where* you have 50 million non-native Bengali speakers. --Ragib 06:06, 14 February 2007 (UTC)


List of languages by native speakers is very unstable and appears to be original research (the ranking criteria is flawed as data from various sources are compared, which is an incorrect method of doing comparison). --Ragib 06:24, 14 February 2007 (UTC)


I'm not here to "Win" or "fight". There is no problem with me if you provide a ranking of languages based on native speakers, from a reliable source. But rather than doing so, you just removed the existing citation, and replaced it with nothing. That is NOT the way to modify a referenced piece of information. If you have references (NOT a link to an unstable article), you are welcome to provide that. Thanks. --Ragib 06:32, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Caps

Hi, please don't type is all caps. If someone is changing the ranks, just redirect them to the talk page. Thanks.Cælus 13:04, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

Sorry, I didn't know that was bad. Where can I find information about all the rules and things of that nature? Is there a website where all this information is at?Jerse 15:23, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] which version of the ethnologue?

I am puzzled why you reverted my change to the head of the column. The reference given refers to the 1996 (13th) edition of the ethnologue (it was 'updated' 1999, but still uses 1996 data). www.ethnologue.com gives data from the 15th edition (2005). Yes, many of the figures in it are from previous years, but it's still the latest data. And try having a look at some of the figures. You can compare with the ethnologue list of most spoken languages. All the figures in there are from the 2005 edition. Drmaik 05:13, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

Appreciate your self revert on the matter. And also that you took the time to actually ask SIL about encarta (we can speculate, or simply ask, as you did). They didn't quite answer your question, but I won't quibble! Drmaik 05:54, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Language

Fighting vandals can be tough, but please mind your language a little. --MoRsE 23:38, 17 April 2007 (UTC)
