[edit] Welcome!

WELCOME!! Hello, Aaker! I want to personally welcome you on behalf of the Wikipedia community. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. If you haven't already, you can put yourself in the new user log and thelist of users so you can be properly introduced to everyone. Don't forget to be bold, and don't be afraid of hungry Wikipedians...there's a rule about not biting newcomers. Some other good links are the tutorial, how to edit a page, or if you're really stuck, see the help pages. Wikipedia is held up by Five Pillars...I recommend reading about them if you haven't already. Finally, it would be really helpful if you would sign your name on talk pages, so people can get back to you quickly. It's easy to do this by clicking the button (next to the one with the "W" crossed out) one from the end on the left. If that's confusing, or if you have any questions, feel free to drop me a ♪ at my talk page (by clicking the plus sign (+) next to the tab at the top that says "edit this page")...and again, welcome!--ViolinGirl^♪ 16:24, 23 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Talk:Rwanda (English in Rwanda)

I've responded to your query. Kahuzi 08:30, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks for the laugh

And the answer to your question is "no" (grin) Valentinian ^{T / C} 22:28, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

You're welcome! Aaker 15:29, 31 March 2007 (UTC)

Hej Aaker

Tak for at uploade dette billede til Commons, men siden du inkluderer norsk, svensk, islandsk, færøsk og finlandssvensk, undrer det mig hvorfor du ikke har medregnet dansk til samme kategori. Mvh Valentinian ^{T / C} 14:14, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

Danska ska vara med under samma kategori. Det är också så som jag har skapat bilden. Danska har en något ljusare blå färg än norska och svenska, och det kanske är svårt att se. På min dator/computer är det dock inga problem men det kanske är annorlunda på din. Aaker 21:32, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

Ok men jeg skal næsten knibe øjnene sammen for at kunne se forskellen mellem Danmark og Tyskland. Gider du evt. bruge en anden farve? Valentinian ^{T / C} 21:36, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

Tak for at opdatere filen. Den nye version er meget bedre. Mvh. Valentinian ^{T / C} 17:26, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

Ingen orsak! Aaker 17:28, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Latin Cultures/ France

In your comment with your deletion edit on Latin Cultures you wrote "who has questioned France as country of Latin identity and culture??? how"

In response to your above comment I would draw your attention to the Basques, Bretons, Alsatians, Martiniquans, etc. who are undoubtably French but definitely not Latin. French national identity is explicitally based on an idea of citizenship and shared values, and being Latin or not is irrelevant, thus the comment, "...these countries in Europe will have weak feelings about Latin identity which reflect a feeling of irrelevance of being identified as a Latin country or not."

N-edits 23:41, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

The population of South Tyrol is about 500,000, less than 1% of the Italian population, and half of them are of Latin origin anyway, so Italy is not in the slightest comparable to the several major French regions which might not be considered Latin. Incidentally, the others are of Austrian, not German, descent. I will move our discussion to the talk page to be continued there. The article does NOT say the French are not Latin, it says it is debatable. N-edits 13:57, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Morrocco Spanish speaking

I disagree that Morrocco is Spanish speaking. 20,000 people out a population of about 30 million is not significant. French is much more widely spoken. If you agree please post a comment on Talk: Spanish Language. If people don't correct the bias the people editing the Spanish language page may soon colour in France and claim that it is a Spanish speaking country.

[edit] Vegan, pollotarian

Hello, you,

As you might have read: pollotarian. My "vegan" userbox is a kind of "I wish I was" one. I´d love to be vegetarian, but I am pollotarian. To be honest I don´t eat red meat at all, it´s been 4 years now. But I do eat fish almost everyday and chicken. You are right I should not use this UB, but let it be there...I wish I was... :)

What abt ya?

Ludovicapipa ^yes? 14:15, 28 July 2007 (UTC)

I think I like the taste meat to much to become anything but omnivore. I really dislike cruelty to animals though and I think we should treat our friends better. Aaker 14:38, 28 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Yes

Yes, animals should not be killed to please humans...not at all. Are you boy or girl?

Ludovicapipa ^yes? 21:01, 28 July 2007 (UTC)

Isn't it good that the internet allows people to be completely free from gender biases? To answer your your question; I'm a boy. Aaker 22:34, 28 July 2007 (UTC)

Yes, absolutely. Why don´t you reply on my discussion page instead of yrs?

Easier for you, not for me. I can´t guess when you reply. :O)

That´s fine. Have a nice day, nice sunday. Here in Brasil it´s very cold (abt 7ºC) grgrgrggr!

Ludovicapipa ^yes? 15:40, 29 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] German/French language maps

Hey, I'm wondering if you could help me out here. Those maps you made showing the % of people who claim to speak French and German are pretty good. I'm interested in the spread of other languages also though and I'm wondering if you could direct me to where you got the data to make them.--Josquius 13:06, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Requested move

Just to make sure, as I think you made a typo, but you wanted to move List of languages of Italy to Languages of Italy? -- RG² 10:54, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

Done. -- RG² 10:59, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] The Swiss and nuclear weapons

Actually, I think they had been accused of trying to develop them in the 50s at least. Still, it's not really like I care, and I'm sure it's covered somewhere else. But you know, maybe my country will eventually invade them anyway :P -Theanphibian ^{(talk • contribs)} 19:29, 9 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] French people

Hello Aaker. You have shown interest in the French people article at some point, you are now invited to participate in a vote for the French personalities to be included in the French people infobox. Regards - Wikigi | talk to me | 11:10, 20 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Brussels language rule

The order of the languages follows the implicit Brussels language rule, which is in the process of being made explicit. In a nutshell, the rule exists in order to prevent edit warring and maintain a degree of neutrality. It is also to remind readers that Brussels is bilingual. Please do not change anything else for now. I'll let you know within a few hours where you can participate in the discussion on the rule. See you then! -Oreo Priest 16:02, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

As promised, the discussion is here: Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Belgium#Brussels_naming_conventions. I wrote this last night, but forgot to pres "save" until now. Sorry! -Oreo Priest ^talk 11:41, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
