Hi,

In the article "List of Ethnic Slurs", you mentioned that the word guiri comes from the phrase where is. But the phrase where is is donde está in Spanish. I also found on <www.diccionarios.com> that guiri has three meanings in Spanish, one of which is "turist." Thus, I truncated the fact entry greatly. If I'm wrong, please let me know by responding to my comment on the article's talk page. The change can be undone easily if it's incorrect.

Thanks,

[edit] Madeleines

Hello, this is in reply to your e-mail:

Hello from (near) Barcelona

25 November you added and image to the article "madeleine". A week later somebody deleted it, because this image is of a cupcake, not of a madeleine. Nevertheless, in Spain, cupcakes are said "magdalenas" (sg. magdalena) and madeleines aren't easily found and haven't any special name. Perhaps happens something alike in Switzerland? I would like you to infom me about the question. You can see my user page to know about me. Better answer in English. My German is very limited. Thank you very much.

Thanks for the mail - I've replied at Talk:Madeleine, let's continue discussion there. Bye, Sandstein 19:38, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

Clarification: I did not delete the image, it still exists! I commented out the link in the article. How this is done: please see Wikipedia:How to edit a page#Character formatting (commenting page source) showing how text between <!-- and --> will be visible in the edit box while not being displayed in the article itself. –Æ. ✉ 00:36, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

In reply to your new e-mail:

I write you last week about madeleine photograph. My e-mail is <redacted>. I would like to know whether madeleine is used in erman-speaking Switzerland for cupcake. Thank you very much.

I've replied already at Talk:Madeleine, see there. Please use my talk page to contact me under normal circumstances. Thank you. Sandstein 21:37, 11 December 2006 (UTC)
