User talk:Zamfi
It could just be me, but recent edits to this article seem to me to say way too much about how great MIT is, and seem to be moving it in the direction of being a bland PR puff job. I'd appreciate it if previous contributors would keep an eye on this article and make sure it reflects a reasonable consensus about what "neutrality" means.

Typographical remarks
[edit]Hi Joe,
I noticed that you modified Căile_Ferate_Române to correct some "s=>ş and t=>ţ". It's worth noting, though, that the correct symbol in Romanian for the sound /ʃ/ (/sh/ in English -- see IPA, if you're not already familiar with the notation) is not ş but is rather ș. The same is true for ţ, which should be ț. Unfortunately, as far I can tell, these are not available in the Wikipedia "insert special characters" list that appears when you edit pages, so it can be rather a pain to input them.
More information is available at Romanian_alphabet. As that page states, using the cedille instead of a comma is "considered incorrect by the langauge academy," but that "[a]ctual Romanian writings, included books created to teach children to write, treat the comma and cedilla as a variation in font."
Just letting you know...

- Yes, I know, but since our article titles use "ş" and "ţ", the other would result in a bunch of broken links. Also, as you note, they are not in "insert special characters", so they are very unlikely to get used much in Wikipedia. Also, they are not in a lot of fonts: I'm currently working (on contract) for the Microsoft group involved in internationalization of software, and the font set I was issued at work (which works fine for Chinese, for example) does not include these characters! Dar mulţumesc. Sau, dacă vreţi, mulțumesc. -- Jmabel | Talk 17:28, July 22, 2005 (UTC)
