Passport list

Hi Philip, thanks for the message. I'm sorry but I cannot do that article now, maybe later. I don't have the sources to do it, on or offline. Btw, I love Costa Rica. Can I visit you there? ;-) Gregorik (talk) 20:15, 17 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi,

The Hungarian passport article shows a map that is out of date. Since the end of October, Australia is also visafree with an eVisitor application. The map does not reflect this.

Please explain what you mean by the word trillion being "misused". --Golbez (talk) 17:26, 27 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You are quite wrong. 13 trillion (13,000,000,000,000, also known as 13,000 billion) divided by 300 million Americans (300,000,000) gives us around $40,000 earned per capita. If you use 13 billion, then you only get 40 bucks earned per capita, and I'm quite sure I made more than 40 dollars last year. --Golbez (talk) 21:52, 27 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I apologize. As you pointed out in your note to me, your second revision of the figures in question was technically accurate. Aside from that, the "erroneous information" tag unfortunately produces language referring to "vandalism"--I should have taken the time to edit that out, as of course, you are far from a vandal. However, (a) the reference to U.S. GDP in trillions is standard in American government sources and the American media and (b) you are incorrect when you say your version "follows the same scheme of all the other countries"--please see, for instance, Germany and Russia, whose GDP figures are also consistently expressed in the trillions. All the best, Dan.—DCGeist (talk) 04:51, 29 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Philip200291! Can you update your map http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:VisaWaiverProgram.png and add Bulgaria to the list of candidates? I just updated the article and added the source: http://www.dhs.gov/xnews/releases/pr_1213717127852.shtm.

Thanks in advance!

I want to ask a question. Is this article geographical or political? If it is geographical, all these transcontinental countries must be in Eurasia, Cyprus and Armenia in Asia. If it is political all these transcontinental countries, Cyprus and Armenia must be in Europe. And you say Turkey is also politically Asian. Do you have evidences about this? But i have a lot of evidences about European Turkey.

,

Turkey is in Europe in Wikitravel.

Turkey is in the EU's context.

You can see Turkey is a part of Europe in European Environment Agency's website.

You can see Turkey in Europe not in Asia or Middle East in the BBC's website.

In Le Monde's website. France is opposite of Turkish EU membership but they don't deny that Turkey is European

Also in the New York Times'.

Tourism in Europe. You can see Turkey!

Europe's forecast. You can see Ankara's wheather :)

Also in IKEA's. and severel others. Լσκυм ^Ħί! 09:09, 29 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! I'll create a new category called Eurasia and put all those countries there except Cyprus. Լσκυм ^Ħί! 04:13, 30 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Philip! As I said in my edit summary, the H&P index was spam, and it was probably not correct in the first place. I just left the '101' and the 'citation needed' tag so that somebody else would eventually put in the correct number and give a proper reference. If you want to find out the exact number (it's probably more like 105 or 110, as you said) there are some websites that may be useful here and here; they should have current information. I would do it myself, but there are a lot of pages that need attention! Thanks for your contribution, - Gump Stump (talk) 22:21, 23 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Philip!

I was just wondering whether the map of visa free travel for Hungarians should be updated. Australia is marked as one of the countries requiring visa for Hungarian citizens; however the official website of the Australian Embassy in Budapest says that visa free travel is available through the e-visitor program. I thought the update is necessary since there is no fees for this service and it is pretty much equivalent with ESTA, used by the United States of America. The U.S. is currently marked as a visa free destination for Hungarians, so I believe that Australia should be colored purple as well.

Thank You!

Sincerely,

Hi there,

I just want to let you know that I have challenged your recent changes to

You say presidenta does not exist in Spanish.

But it does.

1. Presidenta yields 12,700,000 hits in Google, so very many people disagree with you.

2. If you use Google to search inside Costa Rica's La Nacion newspaper website, you find 3,090 presidentas inside that one newspaper. Like this.

One typical article in La Nacion has this headline: Costa Rica elige a su primera presidenta. See it here.

3. If you take that Spanish newspaper headline and give it to Google's translator, it recognises the word presidenta and translates the sentence as Costa Rica elects its first female president. The translator understands the word without difficulty.

4. I asked my Tica friend who is sitting in Moravia, San José right now, who is very gifted at languages, if the new president is called presidente or presidenta and she said, presidenta. That is a trusted, educated woman in Costa Rica whom I know personally whose first language is Spanish. I accept her answer as correct.

5. Spanish writers contributing to the Spanish Wikipedia page for Laura Chinchilla Miranda have put in the word presidenta eight times. See for yourself.

Conclusion: Yours is clearly a minority opinion, sir.   —Preceding

Thank you for your agreement. Coincidentally, just now, I was reading about the Æ ligature to see if curriculum vitae could be spelled curriculum vitæ and

Gender-neutrality in Spanish and Portuguese

.

There, I found these pertinent remarks:

Presidenta used to be "the president's wife", but there have been several women presidents in Latin American republics, and in modern usage the word means mainly a female president. Some feel that presidente can be treated as invariable, given that it ends in -ente, but others prefer to use a different feminine form.
