Just wanted to reply to your message... I only changed the spelling because it seemed strange to use British spelling in an article about American languages. Sort of like if someone used Danish spelling in a Norwegian article, you know? Cheers Cbdorsett 15:27, 19 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Thank you for the reply. I didn't think of that, thanks for informing me. I will try to keep that in mind when editing in the future. Eric 15:30, Jun 19, 2005 (UTC)

Honorary Citizen of the United States

If you check over the list of Honorary Citizen of the United States then I think that you'll see there have been six recipients. William and Hannah Callowhill Penn both received citizenship (not that it made much difference to them!). Cheers, -Willmcw June 30, 2005 08:51 (UTC)

Sorry, my mistake. Thanks for pointing it out. Eric June 30, 2005 09:39 (UTC)

Hm, well, I uploaded it, but later found out that it was again uploaded by another person already, but by another file-name. A version of it is being used at the Finland-Swedish article, so I believe that one must be removed as well. Eric 03:49, July 20, 2005 (UTC)

• I've made a copyright-free GNU version, and linked both articles to the new map.

Reguest for translation

Hi - I got your name from the list at Wikipedia:Translators available#Icelandic-to-English.

I have a request for translation, or at least help with input into the article on Jørgen Jørgensen which corresponds to the Icelandic article is:Jörundur hundadagakonungur. The Icelandic article was a featured article and the English one is a minimilistic stub. I believe there would be significant material to incorporate into the English-language article from the Icelandic wiki. While I will add some information about his Tasmanian life as a sailor, explorer and convict, Jorgenson was also the ruler of Iceland for 2 months - I know no more and it seems an amazing story. Many thanks, Regards --User:AYArktos | Talk 00:01, 24 October 2005 (UTC)

Thanks for contacting me, I'll take up the responsibility as soon as possible. Eiríkr Rauði 10:42, 24 October 2005 (UTC)

Many thanks for your help - Regards --User:AYArktos | Talk 21:26, 24 October 2005 (UTC)

Help with Translation!?

Can you help translate this for me to swedish? Many thanks in advance!

Albania built its first railroad in 1947, and 40 years later Tiranë was linked to all other major industrial centres in the country. The highway network has been extended even to remote mountain villages. Air transport, however, remains largely underdeveloped. There is no scheduled domestic air service.

Translation -Renaissance Latin

We would need some help with the discussion at Talk:Ancient Greek phonology. It would be nice if you could translate the following passage, (quoted in [1] from Gerardi Ioannis Vossii, Aristarchus, sive de arte Grammatica libri septem etc., Amstelædami: I. Blaev 1635, Editio secunda 1662) 106f. We have already a translation at User_talk:Ανδρέας#Ecce Tradutionem but it is by an italian editor and his English is not perfect.

Ac Erasmus quidem quâ occasione ad scribendum de rectâ pronunciatione fuerit impulsus, paucis cognitum arbitror. Itaque visum hâc de adjicere, quod in schedâ quadam habeo, scriptâ olim manu Henrici Coracopetræi, viri egregiè docti, doctisque perfamiliaris. Ea ita habet: ‘Audivi M. Rutgerum Reschium, professorem Linguæ Græcæ in Collegio Buslidiano apud Lovanienses, meum piæ memoriæ præceptorem, narrantem, se habitâsse in Liliensi pædagogio unà cum Erasmo, plus minus biennio eo superius, se inferius cubiculum obtinente: Henricum autem Glareanum Parisiis Lovanium venisse, atque ab Erasmo in collegium vocatum fuisse ad prandium: quò cùm venisset, quid novi adferret interrogatum, dixisse (quod in itinere commentus erat, quòd sciret Erasmum plus satis rerum novarum studiosum, ac mirè credulum) quosdam in Græciâ natos Lutetiam venisse, viros ad miraculum doctos; qui longè aliam Græci sermonis pronunciationem usurparent, quàm quæ vulgò in hisce partibus recepta esset. Eos nempe sonare pro B vita, BETA: pro H ita, ETA: pro ai æ, AI: pro OI I, OI: & sic in cæteris. Quo audito, Erasmum paulò pòst conscripsisse Dialogum de rectâ Latini Græcique sermonis pronunciatione, ut videretur hujus rei ipse inventor, & obtulisse Petro Alostensi, typographo, imprimendum: qui cùm, fortè aliis occupatus, renueret; aut certè se tam citò excudere, quàm ipse volebat, non posse diceret; misisse libellum Basileam ad Frobenium, a quo mox impressus in lucem prodiit. Verùm Erasmum, cognitâ fraude, nunquam eâ pronunciandi ratione postea usum; nec amicis, quibuscum familiariter vivebat, ut eam observarent, præcepisse. In ejus rei fidem exhibuit M. Rutgerus ipsius Erasmi manuscriptam in gratiam Damiani à Goes Hispani pronunciationis formulam (cujus exemplar adhuc apud me est) in nullo diversam ab eâ, quâ passim docti & indocti in hac linguâ utuntur’. Henricus Coracopetræus Cuccensis. Neomagi. CI I LXIX. pridie Simonis & Iudæ.
