Hello Rosalie:
 
A new user, Jotagiraldez, is apparently very productive and talented.  One thing he changed that I would disagree with is the spelling of aluminum being changed to aluminium, the British variant that my spell checker flags as an error.  I give an argument for the old spelling on the [[Talk:Aluminium]] page if you care to look.  I would like to notify as many people as might care about this.--[[User:Farred|Farred]] 16:38, 10 November 2010 (UTC)

Instead of removing pages and recreating them with a different name, you should use the "move" link at the top of the page. This creates a redirect and prevents broken links. It also prevents you from jacking my personal cheat sheets when I'm not looking and putting them somewhere that I can't find them! Women.... - Jarogers2001 20:36, 28 October 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, you left a redirect but by the time I noticed I'd already finished yanking your leg. :D - Jarogers2001 01:38, 29 October 2008 (UTC)

FYI. The bio link on your user page leads to an article which redirects back to your user page. - Jarogers2001 07:50, 3 November 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, that's to entertain people while they read my User page. Rose/Miros 22:34, 3 November 2008 (UTC)

Were all of those templates imported from Wikipedia? - Jarogers2001 05:32, 15 November 2008 (UTC)

I was just wondering where they all came from. Will they conflict with the GNU/Creative commons license sine we are public domain? - Jarogers2001 20:09, 23 November 2008 (UTC)
Most of them are going bye-bye. We're going with a different solution for broken links to the MediaWiki help (like sending people to MediaWiki).

The spelling of aluminium

Hello Rosalie: A new user, Jotagiraldez, is apparently very productive and talented. One thing he changed that I would disagree with is the spelling of aluminum being changed to aluminium, the British variant that my spell checker flags as an error. I give an argument for the old spelling on the Talk:Aluminium page if you care to look. I would like to notify as many people as might care about this.--Farred 16:38, 10 November 2010 (UTC)


Internationality

Lunarpedia is in the WWW. WORLD... WIDE... WEB Just realize that this wiki has to be an international thing.

In the international English, Is better Aluminium over Aluminum.

wikipedia says:


Most countries use the spelling aluminium (with an i before -um). In the United States, this spelling is largely unknown, and the spelling aluminum predominates.[57][58] The Canadian Oxford Dictionary prefers aluminum, whereas the Australian Macquarie Dictionary prefers aluminium.


The International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) adopted aluminium as the standard international name for the element in 1990, but three years later recognized aluminum as an acceptable variant. Hence their periodic table includes both.[59] IUPAC prefers the use of aluminium in its internal publications, although nearly as many IUPAC publications use the spelling aluminum.[60]

Personally, I think this effort can help our brothers in India and China in reach the moon again. Americans wont go the moon again or return before them (this is my personal opinion and I can be wrong). Therefore it is URGENT to summarize the knowledge we have.

Now, just saying that English is a barrier, many serious guys I know do wont ever use lunarpedia just because they do not know how to write and read in english...Now imagine that once you know how to do it, everything doesn't follow international patterns methods and spelling...

Be international!!!Lunarpedia doesn't have to be an international thing!!!

But if you change everything to aluminum I wont change it again to aluminium....--Jotagiraldez 17:55, 10 November 2010 (UTC)
