 * I have actually been looking for a document containing "m.p." which I might scan and add to this page, but now that it has again (and without any comment this time) been redirected to that tragic "List of Latin phrases" there seems to be no point whatsoever in pursuing this course of action. It seems to me that those redirects are carried out by people who have never learned Latin and who think that that ancient language can be reduced to one unmaneuverable article. &lt; K  F &gt;  00:11, 7 March 2006 (UTC)


 * You might try uploading such a picture and restoring the article. Perhaps with the picture it will be considered more encyclopedic. --Iustinus 16:57, 9 March 2006 (UTC)


 * What's wrong with making a Wiktionary article and adding the image there? Surely manu propria could use the work, and then we could link to that from here. And I've even been considering trying to find a way to implement images on List of Latin phrases, by putting small ones in the far side of the "Notes" box; I'd gladly discuss such additions on Talk:List of Latin phrases or Talk:List of Latin phrases (F–O). And an image would certainly increase this article's odds of qualifying for being encyclopedic; most other Latin phrases don't have that much. The page was merged into List of Latin phrases (after an improper merge the first time around that didn't actually put the text or information in the List) because it was a dictionary-def stub with limited potential for growth; if you can expand the stub with examples, historical information and background, cultural significance, etc., then nothing could be better! The great thing about Wikipedia is that article merges, and even article deletions (though this was no deletion, all the info's still in the history), are supremely easy to revert at any point in the future. -Silence 18:01, 9 March 2006 (UTC)


 * One famous example is declaration of war on Serbia in 1914, starting World War I. Every law in the today's Czech Republic ends with equivalent v.r.. I restored the article with more content. Pavel Vozenilek 22:31, 20 April 2006 (UTC)
