Why was the subject rechanged into Estonian Kroon when by WikiProject Numismatics style, which states, "If the currency is listed at ISO 4217, use the name given there.", it should be just Kroon, and in fact it is given the name Kroon, not Estonian Kroon? Why wasn't Estonian Kroon redirection to Kroon enough? --Telempe 23:35, 25 June 2006 (UTC)
- Oh, I'm sorry, that style guide is somewhat outdate. There has been a heated debate some time ago about this subject. And the general consensus is to use <Adjectival country name> <denomination>, as a measure of standardization. You can see that it is the case for Lithuanian litas and Latvian lats as well. --Chochopk 05:34, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Plural
Why is Estonian grammar used in an English article? --Telempe 19:08, 2 July 2006 (UTC)
- Many English words do not follow the -s plural rules, notably words of Latin origin, such as referendum -> referenda. When it comes to currency units, we (wikipedia consensus) usually use the plural form of the local language. Plus, what was the last time you hear "US$ = 114 yens". I bet you never see "yuans", "wons" or "yens", as there is no concept of plural in Chinese, Korean, and Japanese. And Bank of Estonia uses senti and krooni on their English web page.--Chochopk 20:07, 2 July 2006 (UTC)
- I have another question about the plural: I thought the nominative plural was normally formed by adding -d to the genitive form. But "krooni" obviously does not end in -d. What case form is this? Deco 03:49, 10 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Pronunciation
In English, is "kroon" pronounced with English phonetics (rhymes with boon) or as it is in Estonian (like "kron")? Deco 23:36, 27 July 2006 (UTC)
- I assume this depends on how much the speaker knows about Estonian pronunciation. (Stefan2 02:34, 5 October 2006 (UTC))
[edit] Cent vs Senti
I believe there is a language misunderstanding. You have used word senti, what is derived from Estonian word sent. According to Estonian-English-Estonian dictionary produced by Estonian Language Institute, in Estonian language, sent means cent. Therefore there shouldn't be not 100 senti, but 100 cents. --Tarmo Tanilsoo 19:03, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
- Per Wikipedia:WikiProject Numismatics/Style, use local form of the units. --ChoChoPK (球球PK) (talk | contrib) 20:12, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
- So in your case Tanilsoo, you would use dollars and cents for every currency? Chochopk is correct. Enlil Ninlil 22:36, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
- No I wouldn't. No need to be sarcastic. Disregard my message. I e-mailed the Bank of Estonia and they said that senti was correct. I am not a numismatic and this is not taught in English classes around here. Repeating, disregard this section and no sarcasm please. --Tarmo Tanilsoo 13:51, 15 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Pegging band
It says: "Band pegged in practice, 15% de jure" Isn't it pegged with a 0% band de jure according to some Estonian government/central bank decision, and pegged with a 15% band de jure according to EU's ERM II system? (212.247.11.153 20:55, 18 April 2007 (UTC))

[edit] A bit long winded?
Is it just me or is the history section a bit long winded? Might it not be better to have such detailed discussion in an article like Economy of Estonia?

- Much of it is copied from the Eesti Pank references. This may be an invitation of attacks from copyright zealots. I think copyright is not an issue if copied from a publication for non-commercial source to a non-commercial destination. Well, this isn't the issue. Length is. I agree with Dove1950, and some of the content can be moved to Bank of Estonia, such as who nominated whom for what position in the Bank. --ChoChoPK (球球PK) (talk | contrib) 18:41, 28 January 2008 (UTC)
