Hi
editisarHi bro! I improved a little the template stub you began. It was really a lot of work making this wiki as it is now (translating the interface.. partially, beginning the 140+ articles) to bother about making the stub template. That guy, the "Torino troll" that uses to criticize on Main Page talk, did not make a single attempt to contribute here to see how hard it is at the beginning of this wiki, how slowly evolves since there are a lot of neologisms, scientific terms that need to be established to make rmy.wp fully operational. He/she cries in English he/she doesn't like the new words but makes no attempt to give other solutions (I suppose not having better ideas), maybe just to discredit the work, and in short sharp Romani phrases saying that it is an futile attempt to make a Romani Wikipedia.
As for Devanagari, as I repeated earlier it is not imposed to anyone, the one who wants to write only in Latin, can do it without any problem. As for representativity, I'm sorry that the other Romani contributor, Naayram (only in the early stages), does not have a full-time home Internet connection to see the others how representative is writing in Devanagari by literate Roma. And let's see in the future when there will be contributors speaking more dialects, how will we understand the pronunciation of words in different dialects, if not but through Devanagari. I improved also, the article about Devanagari, about the writing rules. The vowels have two writing forms: one standing alone, at the beginning of the word or after another vowel and the other one after a consonant. You have to employ also the second one :). The list of the two forms is here. For the second form I employed as example the consonant प्/p.
As for the reply I gave you in the Main Page talk, maybe in the sunny multicultural California, almost nobody bothers about Roma, but where I live (Romania) every word a Rom says might be misinterpreted by most (but not all) of the non-Roma to prove the bad prejudices they have, since the general attitude is still quite negative. So, when I say something I keep in mind a possible hijack of the meaning, making me careful about the expression.
Also I'd like to ask you which blank articles did you see.

- Oh, I wrote blank articles? I meant one article, eh. I need to watch what I write, I found it using the random page thing so I don't know where it is. --FlareNUKE 7 august 2006 03:08 (UTC)
