 * Other statistics. --Vasile 01:09, 8 Aug 2004 (UTC)


 * Other? There is no statistics in the article. Juro 01:38, 8 Aug 2004 (UTC)


 * There is another British statistics (in history of the article). --Vasile 02:35, 8 Aug 2004 (UTC)

The English in the article right now is kind of a mess. Are you guys still working on translation (in which case it would be nice to post a note at the top to that effect) or are you "finished", in which case I'll take a shot at cleaning it up. -- Jmabel 17:28, Aug 8, 2004 (UTC)
 * You don't need my permission to edit this article.--Vasile 21:29, 8 Aug 2004 (UTC)


 * I know that, but I'd rather not copy edit an article while it's in flux. Juro, let me know when you feel you've done what you can by way of translation, then I'll work on cleanup. -- Jmabel 21:31, Aug 8, 2004 (UTC)
 * I think the article needs a map and I don't have one yet. Neither German wikipedia article didn't get one. If you think there are still English problems in this article, please notify me quickly as you can. I will be more careful with English. --Vasile 22:31, 8 Aug 2004 (UTC)

The present version needs many changes in many respects. I, a Hungarian collegue and some other Wikipedians have written a very good article on the first Vienna Award in the German Wikipedia (from which there is the above extract). So later on, or if necessary, during the next days, I will translate it and integrate info from the present version, which is missing, into the German article. So you can clean it up or tell me now to make the changes and clean up the result. Please answer immediately. Juro 20:14, 8 Aug 2004 (UTC)
 * You insisted so much in created ONLY the article "Vienna Awards". I see you changed your mind. Your very good article's translation would be usefull, of course. --Vasile 22:06, 8 Aug 2004 (UTC)


 * I did not change my mind. But I am one of the older Wikipedians and I see that you are one of those that would redirect the article over and over again, although Vienna Arbitration is not the usual English name. So I will concentrate on the text and hope that someone else will redirect it one day...Juro 02:04, 9 Aug 2004 (UTC)


 * With the due respect to your wikipedian age, you see nothing on me. Please, if you want to, let's discuss about the content of the article, not about my humble person. --Vasile 04:11, 9 Aug 2004 (UTC)


 * I'm with Vasile on this. I've seen both of you do a lot of good work in a lot of articles. There is no call for ad hominem carping. Let's work on the content of the article. Again, let me know when it's basically together and due for an edit by a native English speaker. -- Jmabel 04:26, Aug 9, 2004 (UTC)
