Linea 4:
 
Bene facis, Andrew. I have been studying Latin for three months, and hopefully will come up to standard, and mean I can make a better contibution to Latin Wikipedia. [[Usor:Boleyn|Boleyn]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:Boleyn|disputatio]]) 14:45, 21 Novembris 2013 (UTC)
:Thanks for replying, Boleyn. No problem. People will certainly help. So just keep at it! <font face="Gill Sans">[[Usor:Andrew Dalby|Andrew]]<font color="green">[[Disputatio Usoris:Andrew Dalby| Dalby]]</font></font> 14:56, 21 Novembris 2013 (UTC)
:As you may have realised, "Thomae Boleni" was the genitive case. Our pagenames will almost always be in the nominative, hence the move to [[Thomas Bolenus]].
:You may also like to know that "de" doesn't mean "of" in Latin (it does in French). You use the simple genitive case, with no preposition, for "of". So the third sentence of the existing article [[Anna Bolena]] means: "She was the daughter ''of Thomas Boleyn'' and ''of Elizabeth Howard''." The genitive forms of Thomas Bolenus and Elisabetha Hauarda are needed in that sentence, but the links have to be made to the nominative forms. Maybe that helps? Feel free to ask any questions. <font face="Gill Sans">[[Usor:Andrew Dalby|Andrew]]<font color="green">[[Disputatio Usoris:Andrew Dalby| Dalby]]</font></font> 14:56, 21 Novembris 2013 (UTC)
