Latinitas

Iustinus Aemiliae s.p.d.

Cum adseveres Latinam esse tibi linguam patriam, quin Vicipaediae Latinae contribuas?

Valeto, --Iustinus 00:24, 12 January 2006 (UTC)

Aemilia Iustino -

Nescio quin Vicipaediae Latinae contribui (quamquam valde fruor!), autem opinor bonum esse si quid scribam. Sed de cui scribebo?

Vale ~

Rogas de qua re scribas, nec sine causa. Sed nescio quid tibi commendam nisi ea de quibus hic scribere soleas. Quin inspicias articulos Latinos et videas num quid divini afflatus tibi fiat? ;)

Nunc creatur pagina de inceptis publicis Vicipaediae, id est de paginis praesertim operae dignis, sed usque adhuc una tantum pagina innumeratur, nempe huius septimanae Translatio Hebdomadalis. Opus est rem magis elaborare.

Vale, Iustinus 20:05, 13 January 2006 (UTC)

Emily, can I use this page to ask you a question concerning latin spelling/grammar? Xander 07:56, 16 February 2006 (UTC)

Sure, if you still have the question. (Sorry, it's been awhile since I visited my page). --Funkmistress 06:03, 26 February 2006 (UTC)

It seems that I have forgotten it, if I remember I'll be back. Xander 08:11, 26 February 2006 (UTC)

Favour?

Hi there, this may be out of line as far as Wiki etiquette, but I have been searching for people who know Latin well enough to translate a short phrase for me, and haven't had luck in the real world...so I figured I'd ask someone who lists herself on Wikipedia as a native Latin speaker. Would you be willing to give it a stab? Much appreciated..  :: Salvo (talk) 05:38, 20 March 2006 (UTC)

Sure, Salvo. What's the phrase? --Funkmistress 17:44, 20 March 2006 (UTC)

The phrase is "one step more."

Oh, and welcome to the Hudson Valley :) I didn't realize we were in the same region!  :: Salvo (talk) 20:59, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

Hmmm. Well, a literal translation would be "unus gradus amplius," but it's a bit of a mouthful. A more succinct word with a similar meaning might be gradatim, "step by step"; or gradarius, "going step by step". Also, the more I type "step" the less it looks like a real word. :)

Oh, and ave to a fellow Hudson Valleyite!

Mille grazie! :: Salvo (talk) 21:40, 22 March 2006 (UTC)

Anderson Cooper

I'd appreciate your views on the talk page of Anderson Cooper bio article. I have added content that is sourced, verifiable, notable and not from a gossip site, but from the editorial page of the Washington Blade raising direct questions about Cooper's integrity as a journalist in response to his comments on his "personal life" (hence the section title). And an anonymous user again blanked the whole section, and a new debate is going on. I noticed you've worked on this article before. I'd really appreciate your views.

Latin

Alexander Aemiliam sal.

I'm just wondering, how can you be a "native" speaker of latin? Born and raised maybe some 1500-2500 years ago..? Ha, ha. I'm joking. But still I'm wondering, native latin speaker, I'm sure you're pretty good though, majoring in classics and all? Me, I study languages at the university in Oslo, Norway, so I have some knowledge about the language; have listed myself as a level 2 at babel, but that might be a little bold. Answer on my talk page if you like. --Alexlykke (talk) 22:29, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

WikiProject Latin

I am not sure whether you are familiar with a WikiProject or not (a description can be found here) but I'm planning on starting one for the Latin language. This is mainly because Latin is and has been such an important language in the history of western civilization but the article is only rated a 'C'. If you support my proposal then please sign your name on the proposal page here. 95jb14 (talk) 14:48, 14 August 2009 (UTC)
