Linea 624:
::::The reason for giving names of books (etc.) in the original, and adding native-language names of people and places, is that we are writing an encyclopedia and readers need us to tell them real facts that they can pursue elsewhere. Yes, Latin encyclopedias do this. If you don't believe it, read some of Hoffman 's encyclopedia -- [http://www.uni-mannheim.de/mateo/camenaref/hofmann/hof1/s0002b.html start here] -- immediately on that page you see articles with foreign titles, "Aavaille", and some French, German, Greek and Hebrew text, in italics and foreign script, but notice that he gives a Latin explanation too. That's a good model. <font face="Gill Sans">[[Usor:Andrew Dalby|Andrew]]<font color="green">[[Disputatio Usoris:Andrew Dalby| Dalby]]</font></font> 20:22, 23 Aprilis 2014 (UTC)
::::OK, I added a suggested translation for "police burgh", a Scottish technical term. Remember, if you want to write like the Romans -- "A est B". Est usually does not go at the end of the sentence. <font face="Gill Sans">[[Usor:Andrew Dalby|Andrew]]<font color="green">[[Disputatio Usoris:Andrew Dalby| Dalby]]</font></font> 20:32, 23 Aprilis 2014 (UTC)

Salve Donatello. As a [[:m:Stewards|Steward]] I'm involved in the upcoming [[:m:Help:Unified login|unification]] of all accounts organized by the Wikimedia Foundation (see [[:m:Single User Login finalisation announcement]]). By looking at [[Special:CentralAuth/Donatello|your account]], I realized that you don't have a global account yet. In order to secure your name, I recommend you to create such account on your own by submitting your password on [[Special:MergeAccount]] and unifying your local accounts. If you have any problems with doing that or further questions, please don't hesitate to contact me on my [[User talk:DerHexer|talk page]]. Vale, —[[Usor:DerHexer|DerHexer]]&nbsp;<small>[[Disputatio Usoris:DerHexer|(Disp.)]]</small> 21:12, 16 Ianuarii 2015 (UTC)
