Woo, I see conflict when this artical is discovered. (anon 20 May 2005)

Hmm. It is pretty much a loose translation and digest of material in the Catalan Wikipedia. -- Jmabel | Talk 23:40, May 20, 2005 (UTC)

I see that someone is now asking for verification. I'm afraid I can't properly give any. I translated from an article in the Catalan Wikipedia back in the days when our verification standards were much looser. I ran it past a friend who is native Catalan and very much a scholar of Catalan culture (I've seen his personal library, it's worthy of a professor) and who said that it largely rang true. He is the one who told me that a lot of this could be found in the writings of Joan Amades. So that would be where to look if someone wants to build a citation apparatus. - Jmabel | Talk 06:54, 8 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It also looks like just after I translated it, Catalan-language Wikipedia Xevi, who originally created the Catalan article cut a great deal of the article. He's still active, someone might want to talk to him about this. - Jmabel | Talk 07:02, 8 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Doesn't this need a rewriting in an encyclopedic manner? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 85.75.70.12 (talkcontribs) 19 March 2007.

That's rather vague. If you have concrete suggestions for improving the article, please go for it. - Jmabel | Talk 17:00, 8 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion

[edit]

I'd really rather see this salvaged than deleted, but it would take some work. As remarked above, my Catalan friend who is not a Wikipedian and would rather not be named says that it seems at least generally correct and that it corresponds to what he has read in the work of Joan Amades. I don't have access to that work, but someone who does and can read Catalan could certainly do the research to do a proper article here. - Jmabel | Talk 14:32, 24 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I will point out that roughly the first half of the Catalan-language article is now decently cited, and that someone could translate that in lieu of what is here. - Jmabel | Talk 14:34, 24 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
