Hello, Hans! I saw your new article on "Mariage card games" and I wondered whether the first word was misspelled or not. Is the name the French word "mariage" (with one "r"), or is it supposed to be the English word "marriage" (with 2 "r"s)? Thanks. [[User:Bruce M. Tindall|Bruce M.

:Wow, it's nice to get feedback that shows even such an unfinished article is already being read. It's supposed to be French, as in David Parlett's OUP book, because apparently the "marriages" came from France and were added to the German 66 game, which was then known as "Mariagenspiel" (German for "game of mariage"). The Czech and Slovaks are still using the French name in transcribed form. I believe the game never caught on on the other side of the Channel. | :Wow, it's nice to get feedback that shows even such an unfinished article is already being read.

:Thanks for asking. I have just gone through the process of renaming [[Jass–Belote card games]], so I am well aware that some people might not correct a typo in the title because they are afraid of the process and don't want to bother anybody. --[[User:Hans Adler|Hans Adler]] 13: | :Thanks for asking.

Mar(r)iage card games
Hello, Hans! I saw your new article on "Mariage card games" and I wondered whether the first word was misspelled or not. Is the name the French word "mariage" (with one "r"), or is it supposed to be the English word "marriage" (with 2 "r"s)? Thanks. Bruce M. Tindall 21:04, 13 March 2009 (UTC)
- Wow, it's nice to get feedback that shows even such an unfinished article is already being read. It's supposed to be French, as in David Parlett's OUP book, because apparently the "marriages" came from France and were added to the German 66 game, which was then known as "Mariagenspiel" (German for "game of mariage"). The Czech and Slovaks are still using the French name in transcribed form. I believe the game never caught on on the other side of the Channel or Atlantic.
- Thanks for asking. I have just gone through the process of renaming Jass–Belote card games, so I am well aware that some people might not correct a typo in the title because they are afraid of the process and don't want to bother anybody. And the decision whether to translate in this case is far from obvious.
