Urdu
I think you are missing the point, no one is saying the 'urdu language' is mongolian or Altaic, instead the word urdu or historically spelled 'ordu' is taken from the turkish/altaic language and means army as the urdu language was historically related to the army camps of south asia.

 * Well, it's a Turkic word, yes. Altaic is already controversial as most linguistis dispute the existence of such a language group. Whether it was first spelled 'ordu' or 'urdu' is rather insignificant and hardly relevant to the introduction, as it wasn't spelled in the Latin alphabet at all at the time.Jeppiz (talk) 03:33, 18 August 2009 (UTC)

You seem to be a lot more knowledgable than me regarding this matter so I'll leave it to you to catergorise the origin of the word 'ordu', it does seem relevant as urdu was a synthesis of many languages including Turkish by the the Mughals; who were themselves Turk.

 * Hi again. Don't get me wrong, I don't dispute that. It's the Altaic part I have a problem with. If ever such a language existed, and most linguists doubt it, it was spoken around 5000-6000 years ago.Jeppiz (talk) 03:42, 18 August 2009 (UTC)

I have made the necessary corrections. Khokhar (talk) 03:52, 18 August 2009 (UTC)

Basque Wikipedia version of the village of Corca Dhuibhne Gaeltacht
Kaixo! Zer moduz? Dia dhuit! Conas atá tú? Hej! hur mår du? I know that the inhabitants of those irish towns named by the Irish in their names, I lived in Kerry, Clare, Galway Counties about 6 months and I was at several towns of them, I have as a first language Basque language, I also used the names of the Basque localities in Basque language version (but some of them have two official versions, normally the big cities: basque/spanish, french or gascon), I can understand your linguistic point of view. But the problem is this: I do not know the current language policy of the Government of the Republic of Ireland on the name of the people of the Gaeltacht area, if the official name is the only bilingual version or only the Irish version, as for example in the town of An Daingean has arisen in this regard. If you have any exact information about this topic please send me because I've read so far is quite vague.

If it´s like me you say, you can be sure that I´ll change the titles of articles in its Irish version.

Goraintziak Euskal Herritik Suediara! Greetings from the Basque Country to Sweden.

 * O.K. I just see the website of the Údarás na Gaeltachta and I decided that as of now to create more articles on towns in the Gaeltacht area uses the official names given in this website. Of course, the changes that You made in the articles that I created will be fully respected. I hope to create more articles on the Basque language locations starting from Cork and Waterford county in the south and ending in Donegal county in the north.
 * Agur! Hej då! Slán agat!

Aftonbladet
Hi Jeppiz, no offence, but the section you removed was perfetly referenced and NPOV. It did not accuse Aftonbladet of being antisemitic, it just covered the allgations of others, something there's no reason for the article to ignore. It's very much an issue. While criticism of Israel is not antisemitic, by singlehandedly removing it you're simply ignoring the fact that it can be. In any case, would have been nice to talk about it beforehand. Poliocretes (talk) 22:47, 24 August 2009 (UTC)
 * It would have been even better to talk before inserting a paragraph that can be seen as highly offensive. And it did not "cover the allegations of others", it covered an article that said that Aftonbladet is not antisemitic.Jeppiz (talk) 22:49, 24 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Take a look in the history section, Jeppiz. That paragraph was written by someone who does actualy seem to speak Swedish (it wasn't me btw, though you seem to think so). Anyway, the point is that several people, who from the look of it come from very different backgrounds, have all contributed, and simply blanking out the section without discussing it first was uncalled for.

Removals
Please refrain from large removals of discussion that help to build our encyclopedia as the best possible encyclopedia, in this case seeking the assistance of editors knowledgeable in the Hindi language and Devanagari script to add such script to articles that need it. Thank you for this consideration. Badagnani (talk) 00:37, 29 August 2009 (UTC)
 * I've answered on your talk page, but here goes in short: The purpose of talk pages is to discuss how to improve the page to which the talk page belong. Requests for translations from Hindi belong at the talk page of articles to which they refer, not on the talk page of Hindi. Talk pages of every language article would turn into translation services if others followed your lead.Jeppiz (talk) 04:33, 29 August 2009 (UTC)
