Erik is not an alternative spelling for Eric
'Erik' is a Scandinavian name originally brought to North America by Scandinavian settlers and now is commonly spelled 'Eric'. Thus, I would argue that 'Eric' is the alternate spelling, rather than the other way around.
My name is Erik and I'm of Finnish heritage. It has always been quite an annoyance for me to have to constantly specify a 'k' instead of a 'c' when giving someone my name. This is made especially annoying considering my name's etymology.
Why the 'c'? Wasn't 'k' sufficient?
Re: Welcome
Thanks for the welcome. Hope my small contributions are useful...

Thanks for the welcome. I should be in Helsinki as I write this but life conspires sometimes. Ironduke 08:20, 19 August 2005 (UTC)
Thanks and congratulations
Thanks for additing the Abitur link to the IB programme page. I was convinced that it was spelled with an r after the A, and puzzled that I couldn't find a link to it in the English or German wikipedias, but it never occurred to me that my recollection of the correct spelling might be in error. I'm glad you caught my mistake quickly.
And congratulations on completing your IB! I finished mine in 1987, in Geneva, and even after earning my Ph.D., I count getting through the IB exams honorably as a significant accomplishment in my life. I hope you will feel the same about your IB diploma. Mamawrites 11:58, 20 August 2005 (UTC)
On coincidences
Thank you for very timely notice of my actions on the Fidel Castro article. I assure you I am fully aware at the moment of reversions I make to the material at what times. --TJive 22:57, August 22, 2005 (UTC)

Adolf Hitler
How can you say that you are an inclusionist, if you simply delete what you personally do not agree with? I mentioned that Hitler was a brave solder and fought in some of the world's bloodiest battles. This is NOT propaganda but fact. Similar comments are made about Americans and British soldiers, eg, Audie Murphy and Sergeant York. Hitler may have done bad things after that. But as at 1918, he was OK. I have British papers from around 1935 that say similar things. So please do not try to rearrange history to suit yourself. Lesitung 11:28, 25 August 2005 (EET)
Seems to be rather difficult to say anything good about certain people, eg, Hitler. Does Wilipedia suggest that some people are so evil, that one must NEVER say ANYTHING good about them? If these are the rules, I will obey them. However, I personally don't believe any completely evil person would get to his position. I also doubt that anyone is totally evil all his life. Lesitung 12:24, 26 August 2005 (EET)
Ulayiti, if this is really what you are doing, then I think you should stop doing it. Adolf Hitler was responsible for our history's biggest crimes towards humanity, but that doesn't make him an inherently evil Force Of Darkness that no one is allowed to write anything positive about. Verified facts about what Hitler did are encyclopedic material. — JIP | Talk 10:44, 26 August 2005 (UTC)
- Thanks. Actually, if you remove the Hitler-praising first sentence of his addition, it's actually quite factual and verifiable. However, the personal attack was completely out of place, he should not have done that. I admit to having read his comments on your talk page before reading yours on his. — JIP | Talk 11:08, 26 August 2005 (UTC)
- JP, Thank you for your support. If I put similar praise in for US or British soldiers, this would be passed. What I objected to was that all my updates were being reversed. If was as if I was being liquidated. I was really annoyed. It is typical that the strong are always backed by others at the expense of the weak. If the weak try to fight back, threats are made to call the referee, who it implied will always support the more forceful one. I still stand my my viewpoint that Hitler was a very brave soldier in the Great War. In addition, he was very popular among his fellow troops, who were delighted to see him back from Home Leave. The quote at the Beer Hall Putsch trial would have been an attempt by the Prosecution to denigrate him. Most of the early attempts to denigrate Hitler are in fact British propaganda. It is very ineresting how they change their tune over time. It really annoys me that brave soldiers are denigrated by others, who have never fought, and who may not be as brave in similar circumstances.

- I think you have every right to add the paragraph about Hitler fighting against overwhelming odds in World War I and being given an award for his bravery. But to say that Hitler "fought bravely", or "selflessly cared for" his wounded comrades, or to say that few soldiers have been through such horrors as Hitler, is POV. Hitler fought against the enemy, cared for his wounded comrades, and was given an award. That's it. And please don't make personal attacks against other users. — JIP | Talk 12:14, 26 August 2005 (UTC)

Everything single thing I am writing now is reversed by you. You say I am free to write what I want, but then delete everything I write. Probably you have more rights than I do. I have no doubt that you will take me to the authorities of Wikipedia over these remarks. Lesitung 13:09, 25 August 2005 (EET)
Zambian Boys
Hi there, thanks for your comment, I am more and more convinced that you are right. Actually, Zoe and I were not debating the article per se, but her accusations that my vote to keep it was 'trolling'. I may be wrong (it looks increasingly as though I am) but the initial vote was in good faith, and based on the information that I had at the time. Thanks for pointing this out, Yours Trollderella 21:07, 25 August 2005 (UTC)
- Done! Thank you! Trollderella 21:21, 25 August 2005 (UTC)
