Linea 812:
:::So, by contrast with English or French or Russian, we have a lot of catching up to do. Using the vast searchable resources of Latin on the Web, we can do it if we want: we can find the Latin terms, even the ones that aren't in any dictionary: for the first time since Hofmannus we can use them as headings (pagenames) in an encyclopedia that everyone can consult. We get those terms into Wikidata as well, and where do they go from there? Across the universe!
:::Everyone works in their own way, but this is my priority and I gently recommend it: I go for short articles (nearly always) with reliable terminology and links to reliable sources: material that others can use, from whatever planet, even if they didn't think they knew Latin. And it's all possible because Jimmy Wales created Vicipaedia. [[Usor:Andrew Dalby|Andrew Dalby]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:Andrew Dalby|disputatio]]) 13:28, 7 Septembris 2021 (UTC)
::::Of course people should write ''whatever they want''. And I entirely agree that Latin should be applicable to ''all'' learning. However, there is also an ''audience''. For myself, I am only moderately interested in the Classical period, but I accept that most modern learners of Latin are encouraged to develop a ''strong'' interest in this topic. I am also acutely aware of a general lack of documentation on Latinists outside of the Classical period, plus misleading information about the status of the Latin language abounding through Wikipedia in general. So it is that kind of thing I am asking myself:
::::(1) What information about Latin cultural output is simply not documented outside of textbooks?
::::(2) What would a modern Latin scholar be likely to read about on this Wiki?
::::(3) What can or should we expect to do that ''exceeds'' the value of information in other Wikis?
::::I am very open to other people's views on this, and the methodological work of recording and developing or repurposing linguistic terminology is exceedingly valuable I agree. (I often use Wikipedia » Vicipaedia links as a shortcut English-Latin dictionary for modern terms, I am sure others do too).
::::In any case, it was the dismissive comments about Ancient Greek on meta that got me thinking about this. The implicit assumption some seem to make is that all useful knowledge will be on other Wikis and more easily consumed from there. But seems to me that languages have unique voices, perspectives, generate particular interest and are likely to produce or record particular knowledge. So I am interested how people see that for Latin. --[[Usor:JimKillock|JimKillock]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:JimKillock|disputatio]]) 17:17, 7 Septembris 2021 (UTC)
