Talk:Jan Kaplický

Jan Kaplický
Hello Jacklee, thanks for your contributions to Wikipedia but I think that it is not a place for April jokes as you did by renaming Jan Kaplický to Jan Kapličký. I am wondering how did you "invent" the new spelling. I was born in Bohemia and I live there for 31 years but I have never seen surname Kapličký, it does not exist in this and surrounding regions or Czech language. In every Czech book or newspaper you will find the correct name: Jan Kaplický. --pabouk 07:24, 3 April 2007 (UTC)


 * It was certainly not meant as an April Fool's joke. I was following the spelling used in the newspaper article I suppose the journalist who wrote that article must have got it wrong. Sorry about that. Cheers, Jacklee 11:30, 3 April 2007 (UTC)


 * I just realized that the on-line version of the article spells the surname "Kaplický" correctly. I read the newspaper version of the article – it was spelled "Kapličký" there. Anyway, thanks a lot for reverting the mistakes. Cheers, Jacklee 11:43, 3 April 2007 (UTC)


 * Thank you for showing the source of the mistake. In fact the web page containing the article "The Library has Landed" is encoded in the ISO-8859-1 codepage which does not contain the č character so we cannot be sure whether Daily Telegraph is aware of the error. Regarding the April fools' joke—I did not mean it really seriously but it was an interesting coincidence that the change was made on the 1st April :-) --pabouk 14:18, 3 April 2007 (UTC)


 * No worries. Do help improve the article if you can! Cheers, Jacklee 15:18, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

When was Future Systems set up?
According to the Future Systems website at http://www.future-systems.com/company/cv.html, Jan Kaplický worked with Foster Associates from 1979 to 1983. However, the same website also states that he became a partner of Future Systems in 1979. Was he a partner in both Foster Associates and Future Systems at the same time, or is there a mistake in the dates? Can anyone can help clarify this point? Cheers, Jacklee 11:51, 3 April 2007 (UTC)


 * I believe he worked at both, with Future Systems being merely a side project for the first few years. Might wanna check that first, before putting it in though. &mdash;The preceding comment is by User: (talk • contribs) : Please sign your posts!

Pronunciation of "Kaplický"
Hi, just wondering whether "Kaplický" should be pronounced "KAP-lit-sky" with the primary stress on the first syllable (as is currently indicated), or "kap-LIT-sky" which seems more natural? Cheers, Jacklee 11:37, 18 May 2007 (UTC)


 * Hi. "Kaplický" is a common Czech surname and all Czech words always have the primary stress on the first syllable. Jan.Kamenicek 11:44, 18 May 2007 (UTC) I think that the feeling that the stress would sound more natural on the second syllable from the end comes from names with a similar ending of Polish origin, such as Wojciech Jaruzelski.

I see. Thanks for clarifying! Cheers, Jacklee 12:38, 18 May 2007 (UTC)
