Welcome to Wikipedia, and thank you for your contributions. One of the core policies of Wikipedia is that articles should always be written from a neutral point of view. It appears you have not followed this policy at Latin. Please always observe our core policies. Thank you. Targeman 15:03, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

''Just wondering what I could have done to keep it neutral since I just explained the syntax with examples and stated how it differs from other languages, thanks. ''


 * First of all welcome, and thank you for your contributions! It's good to have a Latin speaker on board :-). By not adhering to Wikipedia standards, I meant the following expressions:


 * The beauty of Latin
 * Notice that, take note
 * As a person can see
 * especially due to the fact that Latin is the only official language of Vatican City


 * "The beauty of Latin" is a personal opinion which should not be expressed in an encyclopedia article;
 * "Notice that" - Wikipedia is not a textbook, so the reader should not be addressed directly;
 * "As a person can see" - "therefore" or "thus" would be more appropriate;
 * I'm sure you meant "is only the official language in" - otherwise, the sentence doesn't make much sense :-)

Feel free to re-write the section on syntax based on my remarks above. Don't get discouraged by mistakes - Wikipedia policies and the formatting code are bewildering for newcomers. If the section gets too long, you can create a separate article. Also, ideally every statement should be backed by a reference - admittedly a pain in the butt, but necessary. Learning to insert references may take some time - if you have any questions, ask me, or indeed any other editor, for help.

Salve! :-) --Targeman 15:31, 8 August 2007 (UTC)
