Latino

Hi, there. I reverted your edits to Latino as they put unneeded emphasis that Latino is also an Italian word. There has been a discussion for some time concerning this, and User:Henrymark has made very similar edits. Now, I'm not accusing you of being a sockpuppet, but your edits are very similar and I ask that you leave a comment on Talk:Latino to explain your edits, as otherwise the article may face another unproductive revert war. Thanks. Cowman109^Talk 18:02, 2 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Latino

You wrote:

The original word for Latino in the Spanish ... is "latin",

This is wrong. In Spanish, latín is the name of the language (= lat. Latine), not the people nor the adjective form (= lat. latinus). [1] Latino and latina are the adjective forms. [2] English dictionaries say that the word in English is derived from Spanish latinoamericano. [3] We have this information well sourced and I would appreciate it if you would quit vandalizing the article.

In case you did not catch that, some sources against your claims are:

(in Spanish) Diccionario de la Real Academia Española - latín - counters your claim that latín is the word for Latino
(in Spanish) Diccionario de la Real Academia Española - latino - the definition of latino in Spanish
Dictionary.com - latino - source for English etymology

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions in a content dispute within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing. Please do not repeatedly revert edits, but use the talk page to work towards wording and content which gains a consensus among editors. --Hu12 18:49, 6 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
