Archives
Mary, I'm not sure what you were trying to do with your archives but they are very messed up. One of them is in mainspace, and the other two are in main talkspace. They need moving back to your userspace. --Chris Key 09:10, 9 August 2010 (UTC)
- I have moved the pages back and added the archive template to this page. --Peter Schmitt 09:51, 9 August 2010 (UTC)
Swedish proverbs
Hello. I'm intrigued by your interest in Swedish proverbs! Are you perhaps a speaker of Swedish, or how did you otherwise aquire this interest?
"Du är inte så dum som du ser ut", as you will of course know, will not gain one many friends in Sweden. It is the verbal equivalent of striking someone in the face with a herring :) Johan A. Förberg 13:00, 9 August 2010 (UTC)
Schnitzel
Please stop and read the talkpage before changing the article text - readding the reference I removed was not necessary, and your addition about the etymology of kaisers is not needed on a page about foodstuffs. It would be better if you joined in the talkpage discussion before radically altering the article text. Thanks. David Finn 14:54, 9 August 2010 (UTC)
- David if you do read the talk page you will realize that Hayford called for more research after describing my original article as nonsensical as there were no kaisers back then, according to him. I added the details to explain that indeed the term kaiser in reference to Caesar was used during that time period. Unless you've followed this little soap opera, I'd suggest you'd leave it alone. Have a nice day!Mary Ash 15:19, 9 August 2010 (UTC)
- The etymological origin of "kaiser" has no relation to the history of schnitzel recipes. With research Hayford meant that the true history of the recipe has to be researched. --Peter Schmitt 15:23, 9 August 2010 (UTC)
- He called my article nonsensical as the term Kaiser was not used back then. Hence the references backing up the history of kaiser. I carefully found citations and references stating the term was used by German and Slavic peoples in reference to emperors. Was trying to back up YOUR research too. I have three independent sources all stating the same fable. How is that different from Hayford's telling of the creation of the Croque Monsieur. And I sure didn't call his article nonsensical. We could claim that was fable too. We are dealing with ancient history, some of which is lost in time, so I like how you rewrote the fable part. Something I considered but did not want to be accused of plagiarism as other articles write the same way. Mary Ash 15:31, 9 August 2010 (UTC)
