[edit] Anon

Was that anonymous user posting the email adress in this edit you? - Mgm|(talk) 12:28, August 16, 2005 (UTC)

Yes, that'd be me. Why? Anything wrong with it? --Syzygy 06:57, 17 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] So you're the one! :-)

Well, I was going to use Syzygy as my Wiki handle, but it was taken already, so I used my given name instead ... Syzygy Darklock is a fellow wizard. --Dennette 20:09, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

DAMN! I'm with Dennette! I wanted this handle too...but too bad for me! It's definitely a VERY cool word though. However, I want to ask: is it spelled (and spoken) the same in the German language as it is in English? With all of those "Y's" it seems like it would be impossible to say in a German way...! --172.144.136.36 13:51, 23 March 2007 (UTC)
 :-) Do you really want to know...? - The forms used are mostly Syzygie or (more officially) Syzygium. As opposed to the english version, which stresses the first and last syllable, Germans will stress the second syllable, and will split the dipthong in the end. (And, of course, the "g" is guttural, as in "guttural", as opposed to the plosive "g" in "German". ;-) Rendered in english, it will sound something like syds'ygeyeay or syds'ygeyewm. Boy, this looks wrong. I can try to come up with an OGG file for you, if you want... -- Syzygy 08:05, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Voynich Manuscript

Hello. I am translating the article about the Voynich manuscript for the greek Wikipedia. I thought the name "Voynich" was pronounced with the "ch" as "Mach" but i came across some greek websites that prounounce it as "Voynicz" ("ts"). Could you please help? Which is the correct pronounciation? Thanks in advance - Badseed 15:40, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

Thanks a lot, Syzygy! :) - Badseed 18:38, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Speedy deletion of Gwyn Ashton

A tag has been placed on Gwyn Ashton requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.
