[edit] Garrigues

I am currently proposing that the Garrigues page should be replaced by the content now found on the Garrigues (disambiguation) page and the the material presently on the Garrigues page should be moved to a new page to be titled Les Garrigues. If you have the time I would appreciate your comments on the Discussion page at Garrigues. I hope you will agree. Sincerely, GeorgeLouis (talk) 20:20, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Catalan Grammar Article Improvement

Hello, I am aiming to expand somewhat the Catalan grammar article in the Wiki to provide more information for those who would like to learn basic Catalan. I encourage you to go there and check the talk page to see if you think anything should be added. I'll consider them and we can work together further exposing the language to the users of the English-language Wiki! ;) Pieuvre (talk) 23:26, 9 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Need help on Catalan info in Gyromitra esculenta

This text has been in the article on Gyromitra esculenta:

In some countries such as Spain, especially in the eastern Pyrenees, they are traditionally considered a delicacy, and many people report consuming them for many years with no ill effects. Despite this, all false morels are listed as hazardous in official mushroom lists published by the Catalan Government in Spain.

It would be great to get some sourcing, clarification or correction. Any help on the matter much appreciated. Cheers, Casliber (talk · contribs) 22:24, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Template

I suggest not using any more the template. It acts like a flag attracting “wikiproject Spain” even if it makes no sense (see by example Talk:Andorra) and start editions war, changes tending to assimilate inside Spain and Spanish culture etc. I think it is better to use the project to share tools, styles, discuss general issues… But never list the stuff you are working on. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.57.232.190 (talk) 10:21, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Template:Catalan language

Cross-posting to Wikipedia:Village pump (assistance), Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Spain, Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Catalan-speaking Countries

Template:Catalan language has been tagged for speedy deletion, using a template that (as I understand it) is supposed to indicate what should be used instead; no template is indicated to be used instead. I had some back and forth with User:MZMcBride, who tagged it, but I'm afraid that all that revealed is that he and I aren't seeing eye-to-eye.

I haven't been working in Catalan language and culture lately, but this template was once quite heavily used. We created it because there were articles where {{Catalan-speaking world}} was arguably too extensive. Not to put too fine a point on it, Spanish nationalists objected (reasonably, I think) to articles about topics like phonology linking (via that template) to articles about Catalan government agencies, Christmas traditions, etc.. I suspect that what has happened over time someone (probably a Catalan nationalist) has put {{Catalan-speaking world}} back on the contentious articles, and that the template that is now proposed for deletion might be more appropriate on those articles.

But, since he doesn't even say what template he considers to be an acceptable substitute, I feel like I'm wrestling with a fog. Perhaps someone else can do a better job of sorting this out. - Jmabel | Talk 19:49, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Pedrolo's Mecanoscrit - second only to the Bible?

Can anyone please verify that Manuel de Pedrolo's "Mecanoscrit del segon origen" is "the most broadly disseminated book in Catalan, second only to the Bible"? Gràcies. --Amir E. Aharoni (talk) 10:08, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
