Salve, CalRis et tibi gratiam ago per pagina de numelis. As for the location, it doesn't matter to me, but perhaps it would be better to move it as a proper place after the discussion will have done, if we find such.

I agree with both of you: the articles on years and ones on the number should be separated. I propose here some ways: both are sketchy though, and on number now I am for none of them in particular.

For number

  • number - arabic number [[1 (number)]]
  • latin word in musculin e nominative, and spelled, like unus
  • roman number like I

For year

  • in arabic number like 2004 - but how will we do for the year before Christ in latin? I have no idea.
  • roman number like [[CCIV]], I am however against this idea by myself.

Your comment will be appliciated. KIZU 16:39 iun 30, 2004 (UTC)


CalRis25 10:34 iul 2, 2004 (UTC): Hello, KIZU.

  • Numbers:
    • Latin word: I believe that we should do without it.
    • Roman number: I don't think that these are necessary either because there is a good article about that subject (see Numerus).
    • (Arabic) number: to me, that's the way to do it, e.g. 1 (numerus).
  • Years:
    • Roman numbers: see above (numbers).
    • (Arabic) numbers: this is currently being discussed on this page. Please do take part in that discussion.

Ave CalRis25, thank you for your comments and suggstion.
As for numbers, I agree with you. I saw the article Numeris. It is quite good and now I have no reason to put each article for Roman numbers. 1 (numeris) begins like "1 numerus est, quus unus, una, unum signifat." blah blah. It's OK IMO.
As for years articles in Arabic numbers I prefer. But we have another problem on years which calender we use mainly. About years, it seems better to discuss the note you showed in the above. KIZU 13:13 iul 13, 2004 (UTC)

CalRis25 07:32 iul 14, 2004 (UTC): Hello, KIZU. I'm not entirely sure what you mean with 1 (numeris). In my opinion number-articles should be names like 1 (numerus), 7 (numerus) etc. I'm not entirely sure about Numeris either, it should probably be removed. There is Numerus after all, which seems better to me. Have a look at the Number-Project page of en.Wikipedia for more about standardising the number pages.

The template on Usor:CalRis25/Temp 2 has no links to decades. But several "year" pages have a line of decade links in them, as other languages do. Some have dead links to abbreviations for decades, whereas the most recent years have live links to unabbreviated decade pages.

Please point me in the direction of serious discussions of whether we have decade pages and how they should be headed. (I prefer the full word.) Robin Patterson 06:08 sep 19, 2004 (UTC)


CalRis25 13:07 nov 18, 2004 (UTC): Hi Robin, your template seems good to me. Personally, I'm against articles about decades, however (and I'm not sure about milleniums either). Do you really believe that we will ever fill those with content? I do not. I added sections for events, birth, death dates as those seem to compose most of the content of year-articles in the English version, e.g. [en:1999]]. The year list should only comprise 3 years before and after because we need the extra space for years a.C.n..

Perhaps someone with a greater knowledge of Latin could tell which is better: "Eventa" or "Res magni momenti", "Duces mundi" or "Principes mundi". Are "Mortes" and "Natales" correct?

Anyway, once we've decided on a template, it should be stored in a page of its own (any idea regarding its name?) and we create links to it from the Auxilium-pages. Once a template is ready, we shouldn't create lots of empty articles which are pretty annoying when using the pagina fortuita-feature and also prevent determining quickly what is still lacking. A page shouldn't be created before it is also filled with content. Instead we should now concentrate on filling all those empty articles with something. I've started with the date-articles (e.g. 1 Ianuarii), but I can't do it all on my own.

I wouldn't link to Calendarium Gregorianum but instead to Calendarium which would have to be rewritten in its entirety to include general informations about calendars plus links to Calendarium Gregorianum, Calendarium Romanum etc.
