Why just this period of the history of Vietnam?

de:/en:Quirinus Kuhlmann — 7-2

German mystic and poet of the 1600s, follower of en:Jakob Böhme, author of a utopian teaching seeking to unite all Abrahamic religions and restore Eden on Earth. Kuhlmann travelled to Constantinople, where he (unsuccessfully) attempted to convert the Turkish sultan, and to Moscow, where he was burned at stake after an accusation of heresy made by a Lutheran pastor of the local German community. Long story short, a truly remarkable personality. Until recently, the article existed only in German; the Russian version was created by yours truly.

  • An English translation is needed to make this a successful TOTW. --Marbot 20:39, 28 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Though there are not many main namespace pages containing links to Noxilo language in English Wikipedia, its uniqueness (emphasis on having no gender, ethnic and regional bias) makes it notable. Slovio is mentioned non-trivially by Omniglot, a reputable language resource site, but the English edition has been deleted twice for non-notability, which makes me quite sad. We can not make that mistake again. --RekishiEJ 13:32, 7 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  7. --RekishiEJ 03:28, 11 July 2008 (UTC) This incident is crucial in the histoy of Taiwan. Although Theodoranian opposes this to be selected as Translation of the week, claiming the article is not fully-covered with all facts and viewpoints, it is publicly regarded as the uprising caused by the worsening social situation (such as hyperinflation, lower governmental efficiency and increased political corruption, which do not occur during the Japanese rule). Though some people think the government's action to murder many intellectuals were necessary, some people regard the incident to be a revolution (whether in the Taiwanese nationnalism view or Marxist view), they are not mainstream and can be neglected in the article (Jimmy Wales claims that if non-mainstream voices are not presented in the article, it DOES NOT VIOLATE WP:NPOV). Also, the Chinese edition is a GA (though tagged refimprove), so it is worth translation.[reply]
