==Varieties of English==
Hello, I have a pedagogical piece called 'British & American English' which lists the differences in spelling & pronunciation.  If you've seen my stuff you'll know the sort of thing.  I was wondering if you could advise me on where exactly to place it.  I could produce a second, AmE to BrE, version & append the two to your articles; or I could make it a separate article, but then there arises the problem of what to call it. 'Varieties of English'? But you seem to be the expert on that subject. Please advise. [[User:Ro Thorpe|Ro Thorpe]] 18:38, 13 March 2008 (CDT)
== Barack ==
Sorry - didn't see you altered it.  But my version is what the Americans on CNN all say. The Brits tend to your version, I agree, or they just say 'Barrack', but I think we should have it as the man says it.
Thanks for your note, by the way: I'm thinking about it. [[User:Ro Thorpe|Ro Thorpe]] 13:18, 17 March 2008 (CDT)
:Hi - see [[Talk:Barack Obama#Pronunciation of 'Barack']]. [[User:John Stephenson|John Stephenson]] 02:25, 18 March 2008 (CDT)
==Differences between British and American English==
or some such, as you suggest, seems to be the best option, as I have quite a lot of stuff, but only on those varieties. I'm going to ask around about the best title. Thanks for the advice. [[User:Ro Thorpe|Ro Thorpe]] 18:43, 17 March 2008 (CDT)
==Your proposal on Romanization==
Hello. The proposal record for "[[CZ:Proposals/Romanization|Romanization]]", for which you are listed as driver, says that the current step (to develop proposal page and request feedback from other contributors) was due to be completed 11 March. Could you please update the proposal record on [[CZ:Proposals/Ad hoc]], changing your self-imposed deadline and perhaps the next step? If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask me. -- The Proposals Manager, [[User:Jitse Niesen|Jitse Niesen]] 09:47, 18 March 2008 (CDT)
==Wales==
I reverted the changes, asking for the author to explain his objections and discuss them on the Talk page first. Thanks for the info, [[User:Martin Baldwin-Edwards|Martin Baldwin-Edwards]] 17:44, 31 March 2008 (CDT)
== subpagination ==
Hello John, I hope my see also explaination made sense.  If not, feel free to add them back in.
The subpagination business is much easier than it used to be, and so it literally takes no more than 60 seconds
to do it.  Give the system a go if you haven't tried doing it in awhile.  [[User:David E. Volk|David E. Volk]] 08:26, 22 April 2008 (CDT)
==Romanization==
I have changed the [[CZ:Proposals/Ad_hoc#Romanization]] next step and target date as it is likely to be resolved by May 02, 2008. [[User:Supten Sarbadhikari|Supten Sarbadhikari]] 00:14, 28 April 2008 (CDT)
