Bruker Diskuschoon:Robin Patterson

Moin Robin,

welcome to the Low Saxon Wikipedia. There are uncategorized pages, you could categorize. Also I spotted a mistake in Wesel article: ,,Annere Steden in de Kreis sün Sonsbeck un Meurs". Sonsbeck is no city, so it should say ,,Annere Gemenen in'n Kreis sünd Sonsbeck un Meurs". Also, in Paris article it says ,,frankisch" which is Hollanic and not Low Saxon, where it has to say ,,fraksch". Kind regards,

Moin Robin,

,,franksch" is richtig un nich ,,fraksch". Regarding Babel I spotted, that Latin has a separate row. Now Latin, Ido and Volapük are dead languages. I suggest speedy deletion of these Babel elements. Their is no other use for them than self-promotion. How intellectual if one knows Latin! Kind regards, Sarcelles 17:47, 13. Aug 2005 (UTC)

His Holiness the Pope and the billion people who watched his investiture know that Latin is not dead. Robin Patterson 03:17, 8. Okt 2005 (UTC)

Dialect groups of the English language

Moin Robin, The article Germaansche Spraken has Schottsch as single subcategory of English. There exists an article Schottsch (Scots). However, it is POV to include Scots, but to exclude the other groups of dialect of the English language. What should also be mentioned ? As in en:List of dialects of the English language maybe ? Kind regards Sarcelles 07:15, 14. Aug 2005 (UTC)

I replied elsewhere. Sarcelles has confused Scottish English with the quite separate Scots. Robin Patterson 03:17, 8. Okt 2005 (UTC)

Babel

Hi Robin, I had the impression that some people misunderstand the meaning of Babel numbers. Their purpose is to indicate ability of writing, as far as I have understood. The snag is, that some users in other Wikipedias enter nds because they understand it, but can not write it. Having four languages on the user page may benefit some people's self-promotion, but should be used rightfully. Kind regards, Sarcelles 13:45, 21. Aug 2005 (UTC)

I agree. I'm nds-0 and likely to remain that way despite an ability to understand much of what is written. Robin Patterson 03:17, 8. Okt 2005 (UTC)

User pages

Please don't create user pages or change them (repairing a corrupt Babel template may be okay, but not more). Users will do it themselves, when active here. Some people don't like it, when others are changing their pages. --::Slomox:: >< 00:24, 7. Okt 2005 (UTC)

OK. Some Wikipedias allow that. I will respect your ruling on this one. Robin Patterson 03:17, 8. Okt 2005 (UTC)
