I know. I thought I did but I don’t get the mail. Perhaps I miswrote it when I filled the form to join.

re: Wikipedia:Babel If you want to notify other users about your language skills, you should visit that page to learn how to add move languages (I can also help you). I assume that you qualify as probably an En-4, so you can add that. Since you are a professor of Asian literature, I assume that you probably have some skill in Japanese, Chinese, Korean, and/or other Asian languages, so you should also add those as well. Every person that I've met from Spain has also had some facility with some of the other Romance languages, such as French, Italian and maybe even Latin, so you could also add those.

I’ll do. I can include French, Catalan, Italian, Portuguese and Latin. I won’t include Japanese because although my understanding is quite good but I don’t think my level is high enough to edit in this language.

re: The The Tale of Genji Spanish-language external link: I will not edit war over the inclusion of the link, but the odds are that there will be other Wikipedia editors who will remove the link for the same reasons that I did. especially since there already is an article in the Spanish-language Wikipedia with the same link. Another reason that the link might be deleted, which I haven't covered before, is that at least in the English-language wikipedia, non-English-language links are usually only included if the link is substantially better than what is available from any English-language link or the link was used as a resource in writing the article.

I appreciate your recommendations. I did it trying to do the best. I hope we can finish our article to keep away from controversies in he future.

re: Carlos Barral: I hope that you don't mind, but I edited out some of the redundancies and rearranged some of the text. It would help if you could add some more specific dates, his political party, etc. Is his publishing house just for poetry, or for other literature as well?

You are right. I wrote this article too fast. I’ll work on the article to improve it.

Thank you. You helped me a lot. You can count on me for whatever you need (Spanish literature, Japanese culture, etc.) -Genji11 08:49, 22 September 2005 (UTC)

re:Babel: Keep in mind that there are various levels of expertise that you can denote. On the other hand, even though I can still sort of read Spanish many, many years after my high school Spanish classes (and I even used that skill to translate one article from the Spanish Wikipedia to the English Wikipedia), I wouldn't describe my Spanish knowledge as even at the Es-1 level. Instead, for awhile, I had a parody of the Babel templates on my User page where I said that I was a native California English speaker and also had a basic knowledge of Spanglish.

re:Spanish+Japanese: For the haiku article, I know that there are several Spanish-language poets who have written haiku, but I am wondering where their knowledge of haiku came from. I know that there were a couple of translations into French in the early 1900s, but I haven't heard about any early translations into Spanish. BlankVerse ∅ 10:09, 22 September 2005 (UTC)

In the case of Jorge Luis Borges, his interest for the Japanese culture began at the age of 12 years old, when he read –in English- Patrick Lafcadio Hearn (the “Legends” I presume). Later, he read The Tale of Genji (translated by Arthur Waley) and other books related to Japan (zen books by Daisetz Suzuki, etc.). In fact, he was always very interested in the Asian and Eastern literatures. He studied Japanese (when he was quite old) with the help of his wife Maria Kodama (with Japanese origins) and they translated The Pillow Book into Spanish. In any case, obviously, he discovered the Japanese literature through the English translations.

Octavio Paz was also fascinated by Japan and India. In his first trip to Japan in 1952 he said that he discovered “what the poetry really is”. Only four years after this trip he finishes, with the help of Eikichi Hayashiya the translation of Oku no Hosimichi by Matsuo Basho. His connection with Asia went on and he worked in the Embassy of Mexico in India. I don’t think, as said, that Borges influenced Paz. But Borges influenced Julio Cortazar and Mario Benedetti. --Genji11 13:04, 26 September 2005 (UTC)

Native Latin speakers?

Greetings, fellow Latinist. If you have second, please cast your two cents in on the discussion of a category for native Latin speakers who are also Wikipedians. --Flex 13:10, 30 September 2005 (UTC)

Notability of Order of Finnegans

A tag has been placed on Order of Finnegans requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article appears to be about a real person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, 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. If this is the first page that you have created, then you should read the guide to writing your first article.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the article (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 confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Accounting4Taste:talk 16:52, 3 July 2008 (UTC)
