[edit] Changes

I've removed the signature from this article and added the stub tags again. I also added a "tone" tag at the top because this article needs to conform with WP:MOS among other things. It also needs proper category tags. Robotman¹⁹⁷⁴ 03:27, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

I've tried to improve the tone here, but don't know if I've gone far enough so haven't removed the tag. There's a lot here that is guesswork. eg: "It's likely he knew the following languages" - better if this was certain or there was a citation or we could know why it's thought these languages were likely spoken.

[edit] Name

There appear to be several variant ways of spelling the name. The page has already been moved once because of this. I'm in no position to say which is correct, but I've restored the name to match the title of the article. I think any alternate spellings should be included in the article, and if a more appropriate title can be agreed upon, the page can be moved via WP:RM. Robotman¹⁹⁷⁴ 17:33, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Essay

The essay that has been contributed is good but needs to be condensed. It is a great resource but not something that would be found in an encyclopedia.--Cbc1010 (talk) 01:21, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
