Additional discussion at WP:Pages needing translation into English. -- Meyer (talk) 05:20, 23 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete. Great! Now we're getting macaronic articles in a combination of English and Dog Latin. At first, I thought that this might be the result of running some text through an English-to-Latin translator and then back through Latin-to-English, but it actually appears to be an original composition. In any event, redundant to Tag (game) with nothing to merge. Deor (talk) 13:40, 23 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete but transwiki a version from the history. The original article's text was at least comprehensible Latin:  Tactio est ludus consuetus infantia. pueri ubicumque in orbe terrarum ludunt tactionem. prositium cavere non tangi a iusore. Unus luor est 'id' sorte. ceteri lusores currunt procul ab lusore qui est ‘id’. lusor qui est ‘id’ venatur alium lusores qui, si tangitur, fit novum ‘id’.  (Roughly: "Tag is a customary childhood game.  Children everywhere throughout the world play tag.  The goal is not to be touched by the player.  One player is "it" by chance.  Other players run nearby, away from the player who is "it".  The player who is "it" hunts other players who, if they get touched, become the new "it".)  The original text may well be transwikiable to the Latin Wikipedia, if no comparable article is there yet.  It will require editing for style and grammar there.  Someone there will get to it, in temporis plenitudine. - Smerdis of Tlön (talk) 15:48, 23 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment. Heh. I forgot to look at the article's history. That's one bad machine translator (although the typos in the original Latin didn't help). Deor (talk) 17:40, 23 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete. Tag (game) already exists. I transwikied the page, see la:De ludo tactione. Andreas  (T) 18:21, 23 January 2008 (UTC)
