[edit] Category:Cattle diseases

I'm putting this category up for deletion as it is redundant with Category:Bovine diseases. Just wanted to let you know. --Joelmills 23:26, 29 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Bovine Virus Diarrhoea

I noticed that you just created Bovine Virus Diarrhoea. Bovine virus diarrhea already exists as an article. Would you mind merging the article you created into the existing one? Bovine Virus Diarrhoea can be a redirect to it. Thanks for all the great work you are doing on cattle diseases. --Joelmills 22:23, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Discussion about use of the walloon language

followed a paper from André Dumoulin about Ingrid Betancourt that I published in the "Rantoele" magazine, Nr 42,

Is anyone offended about wallon?

Not from the fact that I am sending it from Panama but offended because there are controversies on how to spell the wallon and what place to give it in social life, maybe.

In Belgium, the only public recognition of the wallon language comes from an obscure consultative council and their members are deeply divided between the "dialectologists", who don't want to consider the existence of a common way of spelling and speaking the wallon, and those (now represented) who consider that wallon is a language which sufficient unity to be spoken, written and taught in the daily life, who are those who write wikipedia in Wallon and promote a common spelling, the "rifondu".

In Latin America, in Panama, I see sometimes the same kind of debate among my native indigenous students, who wonder if it is worthy or not to use and defned their native languages since the professional life and career are entirely determined by their mastering of world language such as spanish or english.

Some will stand for the survival and the promotion of these native languages and other will say that education in world languages must have absolute priority if their children want to have chance of getting out of poverty some day.

These are passionately divisive issues, and the two camps have valuable arguments.

Do you have a philosophy about this?

No thanks, Andre, it's a pleasure. I was wondering if anybody could be offended... Thanks for the Wallon Keep in touch Gianni

I could resume today the sending of logos quote and word in Wallon. I hope it will be regular again. What irony that the wallon of logos has to pass via Panama...

The wallon on internet is present on Wikipedia. Here is an article about a journal in Wallon, the Rantoele. I have sometimes articles there...

Good luck to keep Logos going! This requires a lot of mental strength!
