Linea 5:
I am 23, British, and have recently taken up re-learning Latin after ten years. I am educating myself using the five Cambridge Latin Course text books. My Latin is not yet good enough to write articles, and as such I prefer to read (which aids my learning) and do maintenance tasks, such as the creation of [[Urbs/Index stipularum]].<br/>
'''Wikipedia Opinions'''<br/>
I am of the general opinion that Latin does not equal Roman. As with every other language, Latin has developed since those times, and articles written in Latin today should not be bound by the constraints of "what the Romans used to do". On en: I am pro-stub, on la: I am anti-stub. I believe clicking [[Specialis:Randompage|pagina fortuita]] should always lead one to a page that is worth reading, e.g. a [[Flumina Europae]] article instead of the collection of much smaller articles such as [[Albis]] that exist at present (which would redirect to [[Flumina Europae#Albis]] in this example). At the moment articles like these just have a few brief sentences which mostly say the same thing with much overlap. Condensing these into a single article would boost readability and [[enstats:wikistats/EN/ChartsWikipediaLA.htm#2|content density]]. I believe the bible articles should be moved to wikisource (something I would personally undertake after taking a specific vote on the matter) and prefer 'arabic' (indian) numerals to roman numerals. As for the alphabet, I consider j, k, ð, þ, w, y and z not to be part of the Latin alphabet, and would specifically try to move/rename articles with W and J in them, and make such amendments to articles' content where appropriate. I am undecided about words such as [[Boötes]], but believe ligatures are best handled by the users own glyph renderer rather than inserting them into the underlying character stream in the wikipedia database.<br/>
I wish to take charge of running the Votes for Deletion and Speedy Deletion pages (we don't yet have either, AFAIK) and in re-organising parts of [[Wikipedia:Taberna]] and [[User:CalRis25/Temp 1]] into some sort of structured "How to make la.wikipedia better" system. I am aware of the deletion policies on en: and would apply the same principles, namely 80% of the vote and the same strict guidelines for speedy deletions. There are only two active [[Specialis:Listadmins|admins]] at the moment, [[Usor:Adam Episcopus|Adam]] and [[Usor:Iustinus|Justin]].</br/>
