Talk:List of Latin phrases

message: Now, that redirects can link to anchors, how about making the often used redirects link to the exact entry. I tried doing something like this for vice versa by adding a  at almost the right spot and making the redirects go there. I say almost, because currently you have to scroll up slightly to see the entire definition, but in my opinion this is still infinitely more comfortable than being thrown to the beginning of V or even worse the beginning of (P-V).  PS. If redirects to anchors don't work for you, you might have to shift-reload the page (once!). Anyway, it works for me... Try vice versa... should we do the same for others entires that are redirected here?   --Merzul 16:49, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

I believe it is commonly translated as "to the word" or meaning "in full". Ra.rochford 02:00, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

message: I am a current latin student. This is actually the first phrase we learned, to help us remember the three very common words. The translation is, "Always where under where" a joke that sounds like,"Always wear underwear" This is a good one to say to your teacher, assuming they have a nice sense of humor.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Hockadori (talk • contribs) 04:31, 8 December 2007 (UTC)

message: Unlike  which is limited to ten  can have many more entries on an page.
By adding  template before the name in the table, it is then possible to point a redirect at the specific phrase. For example dolus specialis redirect so List of Latin phrases (C-E)#dolus specialis. The table entry for doulus specialis starts with "|doulus specialis||..." and as the template contents do not show in the table there is no apparent change to the text. However if the Note is extensive it is probably best to place the template at the start of the Notes cell as the first text in the first cell is centred and the text at the start of the Notes cell will be above the top of the viewing window. --PBS (talk) 12:27, 28 November 2008 (UTC)

message: Hi, would some of you mind chiming in on this article Canes pugnaces advising them, that Latin phrases, words, terms or idioms are allowed to have their own article for this category.  They want to #Redirect it to a similar meaning in English.  Thank you. Green Squares (talk) 14:13, 13 June 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: The discussion is at Talk:Canes pugnaces where there was a clear consensus to turn this into a redirect. including several editors from WP:WikiProject Classical Greece and Rome. I'd welcome more comments to convince Greensquares that "canis, pugnax"  (with the comma in several of his sources, which are in fact from the identical non-Classical text) is not a Latin phrase.

message: Given that this page doesn't contain any Latin phrases but a list of such articles, shouldn't the page be moved to Lists of Latin phrases? -- Michael Bednarek (talk) 06:07, 19 March 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: No. There's still only one list. It's just broken up alphabetically for length concerns. If they were divided by topic or source, then a name change would be appropriate. Reywas92Talk 22:27, 19 March 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: In addition to the one list broken up alphabetically, there are quite a number of other lists listed in the "See also" section. That makes this part of , and the article name should reflect that. -- Michael Bednarek (talk) 07:29, 20 March 2011 (UTC)

User:Wareh's comments on his and your talk pages notwithstanding, I think your site may fail WP:ELNO no. 5 (too many ads), no. 7 (accessability (the scroll box for the letter "A") ), and most importantly, no. 11 (personal web site).

message: FWIW - Talk-page discussion (copied below) seems relevant:
Copied from User talk:Drbogdan#A Latin motto that you appear to have contributed:
english => "We help the internet not suck."
latin => "Nos Auxilium Facere Interrete Non Lactaverunt."
(UserBox and related talk-page)
-- A Latin motto that you appear to have contributed --
"Nos Auxilium Facere Penitus Non Nutrientibus" means something close to "We the help to make internal for those who do not suckle." (Auxilium is a noun, facere is infinitive, suckling is the reverse of sucking, and there is a far more correct Latin word for Internet.) "Iuvamus ne interrete sugat" would still be silly, but at least it would be Latin. And how can anyone enjoy, knowing that somewhere on the Internet someone's Latin is wrong?

replies: text: Thank you *very much* for your comments - and suggestion re the Latin phrase ("Nos Auxilium Facere Penitus Non Nutrientibus.") - I wikilinked the phrase in the userbox (User:UBX/WikiLatin) to the "Google Latin Translator" - see wikilink at => https://translate.google.com/#la/en/Nos%20Auxilium%20Facere%20Penitus%20Non%20Nutrientibus - which Google translates as follows => "We help make the Internet not suck." [Note: edit-add => the related phrase, "Nos Auxilium Facere Interrete Non Nutrientibus.", based on one of your suggestions, is also translated by Google the same way - as => "We help make the Internet not suck."] - your own suggested phrasing - which may be better - and more correct - is translated (on Google Translate) as follows => "Iuvamus ne interrete sugat." => "Helps prevent internet suck." - interestingly (to me) - capitalizing seems to give a different phrase (on Google Translate) as follows => "Iuvamus Ne Interrete Sugat." => "Internet helps prevent sugar. - nonetheless - I may consider changing the phrase to your suggestion - in any case - Thanks again for your comments - and - Enjoy! :) Drbogdan (talk) 18:24, 1 January 2017 (UTC)

replies: text: Hi, I've reverted your change to the Wikipedia page "List of Latin phrases (N)". If you wish to insist, I believe the main talk page for "List of Latin phrases" might be appropriate. Peter Gulutzan (talk) 14:42, 14 July 2017 (UTC)

text: From  which appears on every "List of Latin phrases ([A–Z])": "This page lists English translations of notable Latin phrases". The proposed entry, "Nos auxilium facere interrete non lactaverunt", fails that requirement on several levels. 1) It's not a  Latin phrase; 2) no-one has uttered or written it; it's a (humorous?) attempt to translate a well-known phrase by Jimbo into Latin, similar to Obama's "vero possumus" (which has documented usage, unlike the phrase discussed here); 3) it's debatable whether it's actually Latin. All that suggests to me that it shuld not be included in List of Latin phrases (N). -- Michael Bednarek (talk) 07:33, 15 July 2017 (UTC)
replies: text:  Thank you for your *excellent* comments - yes - *entirely* agree - the noted phrase may not be worthy of including in the List of Latin phrases after all - Thanks again for your comments - and - Enjoy! :) Drbogdan (talk) 11:27, 15 July 2017 (UTC)
