User talk:Pontifex Minimus

In case this is at all controversial, my reasons for reinstating the "various languages" section are that a) it seems very relevant to an article on a widespread and beloved form of prayer to have a good selection of languages for those who wish to try it; b) I myself wanted to check what form the prayer takes in the languages I know; c) the section went missing since the last time I visited the page; and d) I could not find the reasons for his having deleted it on Esoglou's talk page although he said they were set forth there. I hope including this short section towards the end of the article will not cause offense. I have checked the languages I know best (Latin and German) for accuracy.

Undid revision 401758293 by Esoglou (talk) because I do not find having the prayer in various languages to be "out of place" here.
Brief note on why I will not be spending my time working on Wiki in the future:

I reinstated a section giving various language versions for reasons set forth in my talk page. Less than twelve hours later, it is deleted again for the reason that "this is English Wikipedia".

Since English is the lingua franca of the world, it is entirely conceivable that people from multiple language backgrounds will come here looking for information as a way to get started on this subject. I do not think it is too much information if they can get the prayer in their language. If the translations are wrong or sources are missing, one could call for corrections and added information (sources).

I just now reinstated the information again so I can copy it for my own personal use. If it's deleted a third time, I guess less information is better in some folks' minds.

The almost instant re-deletion is pretty much what I had been led to expect from reading about the way Wiki operates at the micro level. I'm not interested in engaging in editing wars or claiming ownership of particular articles, and will not involve myself in article maintenance in the future.

Best wishes to all.
