The result of the discussion was procedural close to renominate along with Phû-tô-gâ. Thryduulf (talk) 10:58, 26 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

(eubot) Delete, WP:RFD#D5 nonsense, not at target. User:Siuenti is usually our expert on east asian ones, but I cannot find any use of this 'exact term in reliablle sources. Si Trew (talk) 17:34, 22 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

The result of the discussion was Withdrawn by nom, me. Si Trew (talk) 05:17, 25 April 2017 (UTC). As User:Sideways713 points out, it DABS to Adams Apple (disambiguation)[reply]

(eubot, list 11, about 1850) I think this might be a bit WP:XY. I can see how it is back-formed, but then why not send it to Adam's Apple and things like that. I think it is best of cut. WP:RFD#D2 confusing, not at at target. Si Trew (talk) 15:09, 22 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep It's the closest approximation of the original Danish title that can be easily typed on an English keyboard (or most other non-Danish keyboards), and thus a plausible search term for the movie. On the other hand, it's not a plausible term for Adam's apple or any of the other similarly named topics since 1) this is the only one with any affinity to Danish and 2) no one searching in Danish and looking for the Adam's apple article would use this term anyway. (They would use the Danish singular, which is adamsæble.)
    Not to mention that the target page has a hatnote to Adam's apple (disambiguation) anyway. Sideways713 (talk) 18:24, 22 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Perhaps my glasses were dirty, as above, it has the link to the DAB. Perhaps my glasses were dirty because I did check. I can't check every single one every day. Si Trew (talk) 05:17, 25 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was speedy keep. WP:IAR closure due to the ongoing discussion about problmatic nominations and behavior of User:SimonTrew at ANI. (non-admin closure) - CHAMPION (talk) (contributions) (logs) 07:13, 28 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

(eubot, list 11). I know I am in a bit of a minority here as a cunning linguist, but I don't think we can go around changing the names of languages. Back-formation from Schwyzerdütsch. There are plenty-o-redirects to this that will get people to where they want to go. WP:RFD#D5 nonsense. Si Trew (talk) 15:07, 22 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Show me wher anywhere it is written "Schwyzerdeutsch". Please. Not a Google Books Search without RS. Where really it is. Results I get are all from German Wikipedia (on a general search, not a Wikipedia search.) Swiss German language is not quite the same as German language.

A, Sweden

[edit]

The following is an archived discussion concerning one or more redirects. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on an appropriate discussion page (such as the redirect's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.
The result of the discussion was keep. The consensus is to keep this redirect. I'll add the tags momentarily. (non-admin closure) Anarchyte (work | talk) 08:21, 1 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

(eubot, list 11). I know that the consensus is generally to keep redirects for Swedish/Germanic language ones, but since this place is only called "Å" in the first place, this might be somewhat WP:RFD#D2 confusing. Si Trew (talk) 15:01, 22 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Eubot should not have created them in the first place. Despite my bringing substantial evidence to RfD that Eubot was not given any authorisation to create these, but its author did anyway, I have to make the call. I brought it here in good faith saying I know that we generally keep Germanic/Swedish ones. This is iffy because as Bonadea says below, they are treated as different letters. What if I created A Sweden or A Norway, then, would that be OK? Then you would argue "It's just {{R from other punctuation}}? Or that O'Canada is the same thing as Oh, Canada? It only differs in punctuation. I do have some intelligence. I do not think on these onse you can argue either WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS or WP:OTHERSTUFFDOESNOTEXIST because they were made by a bot without permission. I'll bet you if I created O'Canada arguing it was just a different spellographicaliness I would be straight up at ANI (and probably not by you, because you would see the point.) My point is this is much the same. If it is a longish name, sure, but this is a single-word name for the village. Å doesn't mention it, probably should in strict Wikipedia terms in a hatnote, but this is what we're up against with this one with very short geographic names, wherever they are. They are kinda the distinguishing mark and you can't bugger about with them in English else we have nothing else to disambiguate them by. Si Trew (talk) 04:24, 25 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
It's not an error in the article title. It's a navigation aid so that the substantial proportion of users who do not have multinational keyboard layouts and/or aren't familiar with typing unicode shortcuts can easily reach the article. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 14:36, 23 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I have to copy-paste "Å" too, unless I go to unlengthy lengths to find a different layout. I only have four different layouts, and I prefer to have a physical layoyut in front of me so that my fingers match the screen. Swedish isn't one of them. (The four things printed on different keyboards are Hungarian, English, Belgian/French, and Spanish.) But that is what touch-typing is. My argument is that it makes no sense in English.

[edit]

The following is an archived discussion concerning one or more redirects. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on an appropriate discussion page (such as the redirect's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.
The result of the discussion was delete. -- Tavix (talk) 19:17, 3 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

(eubot list 11). I think this is pushing it a bit when the target is primary anyway, I think this is WP:RFD#D5 nonsense to take the Turkish at the back end, turn the "oe" as Germanic language. I can understand the misspelling but this, I think, is too far out. NOTE: The target is "Kestel" not "Kestal". Kestal is a different place in Turkey, and not to be confused with a Kestral or a Kestrel. Your humble knave as always. Si Trew (talk) 14:39, 22 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Well, since we have Kestal and Kestel already I am wondering if it is just downright misleading. It also has a slash in it which is an unlikely search term, but I was being nice. No evidence for it being called "Goeltepe" with that spelling beyond Eubot backlinks. Si Trew (talk) 04:54, 26 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. While "Kestel/Göltepe" is frequently encountered in sources, and individually "Kestal" and "Goeltepe" are good redirects, the two together are not used in any sources I can find. Thryduulf (talk) 11:39, 26 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was Withdrawn by nominator, User:Mr. Guye. (non-admin closure) by me, Si Trew (talk) 14:53, 22 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

WP:R#CONFUSING, WP:SURPRISE, WP:XY. Redirect could also refer to a more common name for any subject. I understand the biology justification for this redirect, but still. . . Mr. Guye (talk) 14:20, 22 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Speedily Keep. This is used in thousands of articles, and is the Wikipedia standard form as User:Plantdrew for example will tell you, he more on the biological side than I. It is the standard form if I may put it that way for saying what the common name of something (let's say, a black rat) with a scientific name rattus rattus. It is just absolutely fine, nothing wrong with it. It's not a redirect, anyway, so this is WP:WRONGFORUM. Take it to WP:TFD if you want. Si Trew (talk) 14:44, 22 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
User: Mr. Guye, were you thinking of something else? Si Trew (talk) 14:47, 22 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Will do User:Mr. Guye. Have forgotten how to do this. Nice to see you back. Si Trew (talk) 14:52, 22 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Mr. Guye: See above. This is a redirect. Letting you know in case that was the reason you withdrew. Steel1943 (talk) 04:37, 23 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Steel1943: No that wasn't the reason. It was because I saw Si Trew's common name/scientific name explanation and realized that there was not a better phrasing of the redirect. Thanks for notifying me, though. Mr. Guye (talk) 11:59, 23 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, they are technically one is a redirect to the other. They serve the same purpose and that was what I was trying to convery briefly. Like we have {{R from singular}} and {{R to plural}} and one (I forget which) is an R to the other, but it depends semantically which makes more sense. I didn't want to labour the details.

The result of the discussion was Speedily withdrawn by nominator. I changed my mind.

(eubot). Well, um,this is odd. Back-formed from Superior venæ cavæ which I shall mark as {{R from plural}} if not already done. But it's a bit of a mixed-language redirect when we are then having the back end in a latin plural but the front end... I dunno. Probably a keep but it just seems odd to me. It is a bit mixed-language but probably OK as a medical term. Listing quickly before I check, I do not have access to medical journals. Si Trew (talk) 12:41, 22 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Have thus marked. Actually, kinda speedily withdrawn by myself. Si Trew (talk) 12:43, 22 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was keep. -- Tavix (talk) 19:16, 3 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

(eubot). Diósgyőr may be a historical town in Hungary. Dioesgyoer is not. WP:RFD#D5 nonsense. Not Germanic language. Si Trew (talk) 12:37, 22 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. Valid, if dated, transliteration. [2] ---- Patar knight - chat/contributions 14:39, 24 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. Please stop listing Google Canada Chrome books searches so that I have to look them up, and as far as I can tell it is only in the index because it is only an excerpt from the book, not where it is used in the text.
As I told you, I live here. I know that is only primary sources but I speak Hungarian and English on the street every day. I might have some faint clue of what a transliteration is from Hungarian English to Modern English when I go out to the dohányasbolt and converse in the vernacular mindig napi over a transictio. I might just know what I am talking about occasionally when I say this. If the best you can do is a Google Books Chrome Search in the index of some old book that does not have a date, reference, or whatever, instead of a WP:RS, when I have sitting on my bookshelves the official dictionaries of the Hungarian Academy, the Virag Irodam Lexixon in twelve volumes, two landlords next door who I can ask and say (in Hungarian) have I written that correctly and they will say no that makes no sense. They will genuinely not understannd it. You just cannot do Hungarian accents that wayl; and you can't do it in English that way. I need the dates of the books you list, I should not be expected to look them up on a Google Chrome Canada Search to do your own homework, your own WP:BEFORE. Real-life uses of real instances please.
Diosgyor is of course fine as a {{R from title without diacritics}}, but this is WP:RFD#D5 nonsense. Si Trew (talk) 04:52, 25 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was keep. (non-admin closure) feminist 11:01, 2 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

(eubot) Hmmm.... As a straight R from diacritics it is fine, but this is also kinda {{R from unnecessary disambiguation}} and it may be pushing it, since it just goes to the top of the article, and not to a section, and we don't seem to have any information on this particular subbrand, that I can find, I think this is a Weak delete. Bacardi Lemon is red. We have Bacardi Breezer and so on. Bacardi Límon from which (unless I have mistyped) is red. There is just nothing at the article about it and I couldn't find any encyclopaeidic article about it. know it is a well-know brand and so on but this is not encyclopaeidic. Si Trew (talk) 12:20, 22 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I have mistyped. I will leave it here because I think it makes the point. Si Trew (talk) 12:27, 22 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. I think it is known as Bacardi Límon in Hungary... that has never been created, but that is just branding. That doesn't make sense the "Límon" in Hungarian, companies deliberately brand things like that (otherwise it would be "Bacardi Citrom", thw word for "lemon"). We have Bacardi Limón, from which this was created. But basically it is marketing speak. Si Trew (talk) 12:27, 22 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

(eubot, at list 11 about 1425). This is a toughie. This New Zealand island was named by Cook after the Finnish explorer, Herman Spöring. I think this makes this a bit WP:RFD#D5 nonsense, when we already have the aboriginal name (if you'll allow me that). I can't seem to find a "WikiProject New Zealand" to ping for advice. WP:BEFORE coming here I tried external sources, and I can't see that it is used externally at all, but my search sometimes gets different results from other editors'. Si Trew (talk) 11:47, 22 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

SimonTrew, the New Zealand Wikiproject is hiding in a secret-squirrel location: Wikipedia:WikiProject New Zealand Schwede66 08:39, 23 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: As I get the impression that the italicized Finnishness of Spöring forms at least part of the basis for the argument above, I need to point out that Spöring was Swedish and from a family of German origin. --Hegvald (talk) 06:27, 24 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Hegvald:, @User and Schwede66:. You're on the same lines as me. It is not italicised at least as not as I see but that User:Eubot, a well-known bot creator of thousands of rather queer redirects back in 2008, has back-formed Finnish "Spöring" into Engish "Spoering". It is not Germanic language, which we tend to accept (myself reluctantly), but Finnish language, the surname. However, we are now juggling four different balls with the redirect, Finnish for "Spöring", nonsense for "Spoering", English for "Island" and I am not familiar with aboriginal languages of NZ but "Pourewa", presummably a transliteration for when they beat us wee bits at Rugby. Could be Maori but could be many others. For a bot' to add another into the mix strikes me as nonsense. Si Trew (talk) 05:06, 25 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I don't know why you insist that the surname is Finnish. There is nothing Finnish about it. Most Finns would have a problem even pronouncing it. Spöring, for all we know, may never have spoken a word of Finnish in his life. --Hegvald (talk) 12:57, 25 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, WP:RFD#D2 confusing, not at target. Nothing at the target says it was or has ever been known as "Spoering island". Si Trew (talk) 05:11, 25 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak keep. This is a standard translisteration of the Swedish surname, and most English speakers would render it as "Sporing" or "Spoering" regardless of the etymology. I do see a few uses in google search results but I can't verify them on the actual pages. Thryduulf (talk) 12:04, 26 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. Redirects from spellings without diacritics are harmless at worst and useful at best, and they really only need to be deleted if they come into conflict with a better use of the page title. In this case, there is another issue, which I have tried to point out briefly above. SiTrew claims that the name Spöring should not come under the Scandinavian or German "exception" because it is a Finnish name. This argument is flawed, because the name is not Finnish. Anybody even superficially familiar with Finnish names can see that this is not a Finnish name. For one thing, the Finnish language has a problem with initial consonantal clusters and tend to drop part of them in names or words borrowed from e.g. Swedish (see Finnish phonology). It is debatable whether even describing Spöring himself as Finnish is correct. He came from a Swedish-speaking town in a Swedish-speaking region in Finland, which in the 18th century had been part of Sweden for several centuries. Both his parents were born in current-day Sweden. His father, the elder Herman Diderich Spöring, was baptized in 1701 in the German Church in Stockholm[6], and one can assume that his parents or some earlier generation were immigrants from German-speaking parts of Europe. (I have googled in vain for an etymology of "Spöring", but it seems safe to call it a German name.) --Hegvald (talk) 23:41, 26 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

(eubot, list 11 at 1421). Normally the consensus for these is for keepsies, on Germanic ones, as a straight {{R from title without diacritics}}. I am not sure on this one because of the technical nature of the subject. It is probably all right. As far as I can see from a bit of WP:BEFORE, most roads lead back to Wikipedia where we have "Prufer rank" in several articles. I can't see it being used as "Pruefer" in external sources, but other editors are better at searching than I am. Si Trew (talk) 11:41, 22 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was keep. -- Tavix (talk) 17:31, 3 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

(eubot) I haven't worked out how it has turned the ampersand into a "e". I know that means "and" (or abbreviated) in many languages, but I haven't worked out how it has got from there to here. It came via Wood e Stock: Sexo, Orégano e Rock'n'Roll, created by a user in 2006, perhaps in error. I will check but the internet just dropped, sorry.

The original from which this was created was made by an indefinitely banned editor as a sockpuppet. Perhaps we should delete both. I of course have no idea of the reason for that, I am not an admin and can't checkhist like that. But this was in 2006 about two years before this one was created by eubot.

(eubot). This is probably all right, if useless. It was back-formed from Kjølen Mountains.. but considering we already have the target in English, I can't really mark it as {{R from other language|sv|en}} and the marking for {{R from diacritics}} doesn't make sense because it doesn't have any on either side. Weak delete as clutter, although I imagine other editors will disagree with me on this one. Si Trew (talk) 11:12, 22 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • weak delete. Google is very reluctant to show me results for "Nigueelas" (rather than "Niguelas", with or without diacritic) but those I can find seem to be procedually generated rather than human uses. Thryduulf (talk) 13:07, 26 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

(eubot, list 11). I am no expert on fictional books on discovery worlds and stuff, I just read newspapers which is about the same, come to think of it. The spelling in the article is "Hlǘss" and I imagine that people who enjoy these kinds of books are very particular about what these kinds of things are called. Since it's obviously not a {{R from title without diacritics}}, just possibly a {{R from other name}}, but I am going Delete, WP:RFD#D5 nonsense on this one.

(eubot, list 11). Not sure. This board game is based on the legendary (Chinese) Yu the Great, according to the article. Eubot has turned the "ü" into "ue", as usual. I think Weak delete, unless the game is called in real life "Ta Yue". My external search gives me various companies in different places that are not related to this board game, as far as I can tell. It might be a bit WP:RFD#D2 confusing. Not at target. Considering we haven't Yue the Great, for example, it might be a bit iffy. Si Trew (talk) 10:53, 22 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. I am finding plenty of hits, but they all seem to be for either a manufacturing company we don't have an article for or the Chinese name for the Tadjiks (which would fall foul of WP:FORRED). We do have Tajiks of Xinjiang (redirect from Tajiks in China) but this term is not mentioned in that article so wouldn't make a good redirect. Thryduulf (talk) 13:22, 26 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • I presume (eubot) is supposed to mean this is some sort of mistake by user:eubot (a bot)? I wish Si Trew was clearer... It looks like one. *If* kept the correct template seems to be {{r from other language|pt|en}} (pt, Portuguese; not ar, Arabic). It could be kept, because Portuguese is a official language in Macau. But I doubt we need such redirects, having the original official language names - in this case Portuguese and Mandarin(?) - in the article and letting the search engine find it should be enough. I'll add it next. See the diff, the Portuguese name ("Templo de A-Má" with a diacritic, which might explain the bots mixup) was already there but it had a wrong parameter name. So, weak delete. - Nabla (talk) 00:33, 24 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry, User:Nabla, because I list so many going through these stupid or not-so-stupid Eubot redirects I have to be quick in listing (I am not a bot) or we should never get done. I mean by (eubot) to give an indication that this comes from an enormous set of lists, totalling roughly thirty thousand, created by User:Eubot back in 2008.
For comparison, see WP:X1 for User:Neelix bur we haven't these concessions here, but if I may give you a standard kinda stupidity redirect from Neelix not Eubot, the deleted Greenisholives.
So sincerely excuse me for going quickly, if anything I am normally told off for being too verbose, but I sift, and along the way I think, I do WP:BEFORE, I keep a lot, and when I am not sure I list them at RfD because that is the only mechanism currently at RfD for me or anyone else to take some of the more stupid User:Eubot redirects out. On this one I was not sure, because I could se the Arabic, "A-Ma", and then the "Temple" being not very Arabic, and not very Portuguese, and so thought it was all a bit WP:NONSENSE really to put the three together (from Templo de A-Ma, which I forgot to say).
They get you like that sometimes, you forget what language they were even intended to be, though I do check internally within Wikipedia, on a lot of occasions all roads lead back to Rome or maybe Lisbon. At that point I list, although having my wrist slapped, because my jjob as I see it is to sift and sort and say delete, keep, (very occasionally) boldly retarget. I cannot be expected, in my reasonable view, to find out it was used somewhere on Facebook once. (Not by you) and then say "oh, keep it then." I deliberately' do not look up any cultural backgrounds, languages etc of other editors because that would prejudice my going through these language redirects.

Nothing in the article says that Macau is in China. I may have been influenced a little by listening to a very interesting programme as always, Word of Mouth, rebroadcast on the BBC World Service at about 3am this morning, at which the topic today was the names people give to other geographical areas, I listed this well before that but made me wonder. A few experts together in a quiet talk saying something they know about. There was some very quiet disagreement of why America was called America. The general consensus among the experts is that "-ia" is just what we call countries because, I am putting words in their mouths, it adds legitimacy, makes it a country. Fascinating programme, my toy monkey and I much enjoyed it. I recommed it to you. After that we had More for Less, which even though I can do graphs is explained in such a simple way. Ir ia very aoporific the BBC world service at that time of night. They slpped and said in Britain it is six minutes past three; I am only an hour ahead. They usually say "on this hour". Gone are the days of Lillibullero and "Twenty-three hundred hours Greenwich Mean Time". Gone are the days of the Radio 4 UK Theme, written by a German. Fritzs Spiegl. I suppose we have to modernise bt WP:IDONTLIKEIT. I like that tens of thousands of editors can give, and tens of billions of readers can take, the knowledge of this project Jmbo started. It will never be finished. But we can make it better, other people run marathons. I edit Wikipedia. I can't run a marathon, I can't run a bath without getting out of breadth. But I can add my knowledge and learning to Wikipedia. I cam't to the fiddles on articles any more, it takes me ages to get from my head to my fingers and I make mistakes, but I can stilll say no this is what it is. It is in my head it is just hard to get it to the keys right now. I don't want to put this on my edit page etc because it's too hard and I want regulars at RfD to know that, not I can't fiddle with RS and click of mouses and have seventeen tabs open. I can do the Eubot R's and let me do those, I can get those done. My bones hurt my back hurts i cough up blood my wife wont let me go to a hospital. My wife wont evem semd me any money to go to a hospital or the insurance details to do so but I would not get there without her and she is in salsyburg having her new career. So please excuse me for listing these eubot redirects but I am not sure how much energy is in me. I want to survive for a bit because the wife then gets an inheritance if i manage to survive a bit. I should not be saying this but you are my friends over the years. Please excuse lowercase it is not my style. 07:39, 25 April 2017 (UTC)

i do not have a phone or whatever she does not give me any money she can fix her teeth i have to work most of the time. to keep her in the manner she has become accomplished to.

(I collapsed the last section of your reply because it looks long and only tangentially related - I hope that is OK. If not, hey, it's a wiki, undo it :)
The Portuguese part is only "Templo" (I guess the same exist is Spanish and maybe a few other Latin languages), "A-Má" is a Portuguese looking soundalike of the original Mandarin (?) name.

(eubot) This kind of makes sense, except without the accents in Hungarian it doesn't. We can't really mark it as {{R from other language|hu|en}} because it makes no sense in Hungarian, where accents are important ("es" and "és" mean different things, the latter means "and") The rest of it well to be honest it is nonsense. It is not a R from title without diacritics, it is R from foreign language, but eye-wateringly wrong in that language. Delete Si Trew (talk) 00:04, 22 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

If you want an off-the-cuff translation "Town and country transport provider", but it is a very bad back-formation. The accents in Hungarian are important, without them, it is nonsense. Si Trew (talk) 00:07, 22 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
It's not that, really, User:Patar knight. I know in some languages diacritics might be seen as just little fiddly niceties at the tops of letters, but in others such as Hungarian (and Turkish, as in the classic case of Turkish dotless I) they make a substantial difference in meaning. If you looked up Hungarian alphabet you would find these are not considered even diacritics but separate letters. For that reason I say delete. It would be like, in English, redirecting "Ford" to "Fjord", to give an analogy (probably not a good one). It is kinda nonsense in Hungarian and nonsense in English. Considering its length, I can't see someone typing or searching this way. doesn't have it, but it wouldn't because it is far more particular about diacritics (for the reasons I have just stated). Si Trew (talk) 08:27, 22 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep, redirects are harmless and I see this all the time when English speakers, clueless about diacritics and their meaning or purpose, simply remove them (often in directory listings and such) leaving nonsense behind. I agree it's non-sense and unlikely search term, but it does no harm. Renata (talk) 17:22, 22 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Right. Let's assume your name is Renata. So "Reenata" in Spanish makes sense, even though it is a bit iffy, and in Italian "Reenata" makes sense, even though it is a bit iffy. It is not a question of diacritics. These are not diacritics these are different letters, as per Hungarian alphabet. They do not just have fiddly bits on the top for decoration. They not only sound different but mean different, so it is a question of turning something into nonsense.
I'm going to rephrase this. I owe an aplogy to User:Renata, who is Edinborgeouise. This is purely from a linguistic background of finno-ugric language. I will say the same thing, but not quite as nastily. I should not have been so nasty, excuse my nem tudom beszélek estiaul.
I know I don't put much on my talk page because I have been hurt before. Badly. I am English and live in Hungary. I know they are only distantly related. I should like to give you an analogy. Were I to turn in English, "Coke" into "Choke or time-ball into Thimble, would that be OK? No it wouldn't.
Were I to start making Lallans redirects into Hungarian and translating them back to my Cockney accent, dropping all my Ts and Hs on the floor, would that be OK, Just because you hear people say it every day does not make it right. Many people come here to learn English. It is not fair on them to be given crappy Hungarian that is not Hungarian.
Transliterations, fine, but this isn't one. You can't do that. You can do that with a reasonable search term, but this is too far out'. That is like saying that "Thighs" is the same as "Tights". You can't do that. The "Th" sound ((front dental plostive) is especially difficult for Hungarians, just like the various back vowel sounds and rhotic front vowel sounds are hard for me with my rather cockney accent. It does not make sense written. For if not, since I rarely pronounce a T, let's have a glottal stop and take out every T or TT out of Wikipedia just because I don't say them. We can take out all the aitches as well because I drop them, they're scattered all over the floor. No need for em.
I am sorry to be rude if you check the history. I was trying to explain but can explain quite a bit too vigorously sometimes. Si Trew (talk) 06:44, 25 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

(eubot, list 11). We have had a recent discussion I think on a different target, but I imagine that "Boeetis" would not be kind on astronomers. Si Trew (talk) 00:01, 22 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
