Cfd question

Hi, you asked a question on the discussion of Category:Hellenic_languages_and_dialects Cfd: there is a comment here that say "as this CFD day has concluded" (?) where is "the current day page"? can someone explain the comment (to my talk page) --Lucinos 09:43, 18 September 2005 (UTC). The note is left by the bot NekoDaemon to let users know that the day has ended and entries (NOT votes) should be made on the appropriate day page. This just helps keep users from adding new Cfds to the wrong date. Hope that answers your question. ∞Who?¿? 02:58, 19 September 2005 (UTC)

thank you --Lucinos 05:13, 19 September 2005 (UTC)

Electrodynamics

Electrodynamics does not need its own article; the electromagnetism article discusses the term and what it means, and that's all that's needed. -- CYD

I didnt said it should be its own article, I say that it should be disambiguation page. --Lucinos 05:40, 21 September 2005 (UTC)

The two categories

It looks better, but it would be best if you could change the descriptive line at Category:Hellenic languages and dialects to say exactly what belongs there and what belongs at Category:Greek language, and also put the same line at Category:Greek language. If someone were to write an article on Romano-Greek, they should be able to look at the description of the two categories and immediately decide which category it belongs in. At the moment, Category:Hellenic languages and dialects says "This category includes all Hellenic (Greek) languages and dialects, both ancient and modern", which would seem to indicate that's the right place; but then if one sees Category:Greek language one might be tempted to put it there. Category:Greek language needs to say explicitly why it is a more specific category than Category:Hellenic languages and dialects. --Angr/_{tɔk tə mi} 09:58, 22 September 2005 (UTC)

Okay, I think what you're going for is to have Category:Hellenic languages and dialects be for articles about languages/dialects only, and Category:Greek language to be for articles about linguistic aspects of (all periods of) Greek. Right? I've rephrased the messages on the categories to that effect. --Angr/_{tɔk tə mi} 17:22, 22 September 2005 (UTC)

Wikipedians in Greece

Hi, I understand that you are either Greek Wikipedian or a Wikipedian living in/with an interest in Greece.

The category page Wikipedians/Greece has been replaced with Category:Wikipedians in Greece but your name still appears on the old list. You might considering moving it. You might also consider adding adding Template:Greekwiki to your user page.

A Wikipedia:Greek Wikipedians' notice board has been in existence for some time but is terribly underutilised. It would certainly benefit from your involvement.--Damac 12:22, 23 November 2005 (UTC)

"Oldest language"

Hi Lucinos, yes, I basically agree with you. If we were to spell it out correctly, it would run like this: Greek is the language that has been spoken for the longest time

1. in the same core geographical area
2. by an (at least partly) continuous population group
3. without splitting up into daughter languages to a significant degree
4. without getting demoted into a "dead" or purely "classical" language
5. after it got written for the first time.

Note that (5) doesn't say it was continually written (because there's a gap between Linear B and the alphabetic script); (3) is really not very meaningful linguistically, but is sometimes implied in people's claims about "oldest language". (4) is important in order to exclude competition from Aegyptian; (3-4) in order to exclude competition from Semitic. I don't remember about Chinese right now. The Indic languages (Vedic) would be competitors; they have a very long attested history that is reconstructed, as the Vedic texts are really quite old but got transmitted orally until they were written down much later. Without (5), of course, any number of languages would count as equally old or older than Greek on criteria (1-4), think only of Basque, which must have been around for ages. All in all, the conjunction of criteria (1-5) indeed filters out anything except Greek, but then, all these criteria are not really related to each other, so their combination is not linguistically very meaningful either.

I started to work with new wersion of this template, wchich allows to use somekind of "styles" for more than only one 8x8 board game. Now, there are only chees and reversi styles.

Lord Chaitanya knows everything that happens in all three phases (past, present, and future, of time. He knows that in the future some demoni people will serve Lord Advaita.

Text 123

They will refer to Lord Advaita by the name "Shri Krishna". In this way they will reject the words of the true Vaishnavas.

Text 124

These sinners will thus disobey the devotees who affirm that Advaita is "the greatest Vaishnava".

Text 125

Many persons will consider themselves the followers of Lord Advaita, but they will not have the power to see how in the future they will be punished.

Text 126

Lord Chaitanya, the crest jewel of they who know everything, knew all this. Therefore He did something to try to stop this from happening.

Text 127

By punishing His mother, Lord Chaitanya showed the result that comes from offending Lord Advaita or any other Vaishnava.

Text 128

No one can protect a person who has offended a Vaishnava.

Text 129

Therefore one should avoid persons who offend Vaishnava.

Text 130

One should avoid an offender, even if the offender is otherwise very qualified. A little association with an offender will make one fall down.

Text 131

Who has the power to understand why the Lord gives punishment? By punishing His mother, He taught everyone.

Text 132

Anyone who blasphemes they who use the word `Vaishnava" to address Lord Advaita will be punished. He will perish.

Text 133

Lord Chaitanya is theSupreme Personality of Godhead, the master of all. To be called His follower is very great praise.

Text 134

Without any intention to deceive, Lord Chaitanya openly said that Lord Nityananda is the Supreme Personality of Godhead Himself.

Text 135

By Lord Nityananda's mercy I know Lord Chaitanya. By Lord Nityananda's mercy I know the Vaishnavas.

Text 136

By Lord Nityananda's mercy offenses are destroyed. By Lord Nityananda's mercy one attains devotion to Lord Vishnu.

Text 137

Blasphemy directed to Lord Nityananda's servants never enters my mouth. Day and night I happily sing Lord Chaitanya's glories

Text 138

I carefully serve Lord Nityananda's devotees. Lord Chaitanya is the life and wealth of Lord Nityananda's servants.

Text 139

A person who has only a little good fortune will not become Lord Nityananda's servant, for Lord Nityananda's servant is able to see Lord Chaitanya.

Text 140

Anyone who hears this story of Lord Visvarupa becomes a servant of the limitless Supreme Personality of Godhead. He feels that Lord Nityananda is his very life.

Text 141

Lord Nityananda and Lord Visvarupa do not have different bodies. This Mother Saci knew. Some other great souls also knew.

Text 142

Glory to Lord Nityananda, who takes shelter of Lord Chaitanya! Glory, glory to Lord Nityananda, who is thousand-faced Ananta Sesha!

Text 143

O Lord Nityananda, O king of Gauda-desa, glory to You! Who can attain Lord Chaitanya without first attaining Your mercy?

Text 144

Anyone who loses Lord Nityananda will not be happy in this life.

Text 145

Will I some day see Lord Chaitanya, Lord Nityananda, and their associates all thogether in one place?

Text 146

Lord Chaitanya is my master. With great faith and hope I meditate on Him within my heart.

Text 147

I bow down before Lord Advaita's feet. I pray that he will always be dear to me and that He will always stay in my thoughts.

Text 148

The two moons Shri Krishna Chaitanya and Shri Nityananda are my life and soul. I, Vrindavana dasa, sing the glories of Their feet.
