Linea 938: So I make an offer. When you've done your initial work on the national literature pages, I could add a short paragraph, somewhere soon after the lead, saying which languages are involved and when. It would be relevant to la:wiki, of course, because it would incidentally show when and to what extent Latin is relevant; and it's an area I've done some work in. Any use? [[Usor:Andrew Dalby\|Andrew Dalby]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:Andrew Dalby\|disputatio]]) 08:54, 14 Augusti 2019 (UTC) :By all means, and no need to wait, as the rules of the ten-thousand-word game prefer quantity over quality (or should we say over length), so I'm adding new articles briefly, rather than developing them fully. If time allows, I'm translating the whole introduction, usually several paragraphs (down to where the English wiki puts the table of contents and the first big subhead), but these are topics that can go on and on. :Incidentally, looking for Dewey decimal numbers for these articles shows that Dewey and his people have had trouble with a similar issue: how to handle languages and countries (or regions). For example, [[Poetae Confoederationis]] (poets of the Canadian confederacy) is '''811.409971''' = '''8''' Literature / '''81''' American & Canadian / '''811''' Poetry / '''811.4''' Later 19th century [and so on], whereas [[Litterae Canadae]] is '''819.1''' = '''8''' Literature / '''81''' American & Canadian / '''819''' American literature in English outside the USA / '''819.1''' English literature from Canada. So Canadian poetry in English is not a subset of Canadian literature in English! (And where is Canadian literature in French?) Something similar happens with [[Litterae Arabicae]] and national or regional literatures in Arabic. I haven't looked at the literature of India & Pakistan, but I'd expect the numbers to be equally problematic. :Up today: [[Linguae Sinarum\|China]]. The Dewey number is '''895.1''' = '''8''' Literature / '''89''' Other languages [than American & Canadian, English, German, French, Italian, Spanish & Portuguese, Latin, Greek] / '''891''' East Asian / '''891.1''' Chinese—but "American & Canadian" isn't a language, and "Chinese" isn't a single language, and so on. The world is a slippery mess. [[Usor:IacobusAmor\|IacobusAmor]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:IacobusAmor\|disputatio]]) 12:21, 14 Augusti 2019 (UTC)
