Linea 13:
:In addition, it's difficult to write about technical topics for which Latin has no vocabulary, and it's difficult to read and understand the result. The effort may sometimes be unproductive. <font face="Gill Sans">[[Usor:Andrew Dalby|A]]<font color="green">[[:en:User:Andrew Dalby|nd]]</font>'''[[:en:User Talk:Andrew Dalby|rew D]]'''<font color="green">[[:en:User:Andrew Dalby/Bibliography|alby]]</font></font> 15:47, 17 Ianuarii 2007 (UTC)
::Good lord is this ever the case. The first thing I ever wrote here was [[E=mc²]] and it was hard as hell to find vocabulary for the laws of general relativity...--[[Usor:Ioshus Rocchio|Ioshus]] <small><sup>[[Disputatio Usoris:Ioshus Rocchio|(disp)]]</sup></small> 16:07, 17 Ianuarii 2007 (UTC)
==Core articles==
Any respectable big & general encyclopedia will have, say, 10,000 core articles. Probably more than 5,000 of Vicipaedia's current articles are outside an ideal core, but Vicipaedia is making progress, though many core articles remain mere stubs. In music, it has an article on J. S. Bach, but not one on Arnold Schoenberg; in painting, it has Michelangelo, but not Caravaggio, and it has Monet, but not Manet. For music, the list of composers is a start, but even that list is inflated with the names of composers who wouldn't appear on any knowledgeable specialist's "core list" of the 100 most influential composers. Such spottiness is almost a given for a wiki, but it will get smoothed out over time. Right now, Vicipaeida has lots of article on German & Italian towns & cities, but comparatively & embarrassingly few on East Asian & South Asian towns & cities. In addition, a Latin encyclopedia could excel in having articles about Latinists, deeds done by native Latin-speakers, and works & concepts originally produced in Latin or relating to Latin. In that regard, it lags behind the wikis in several other languages. Again, though, I think it will catch up as time goes on. [[Usor:IacobusAmor|IacobusAmor]] 16:25, 17 Ianuarii 2007 (UTC)
