Articles for deletion/Flimap
It seems as if you did not complete this AfD nomination properly (there was no article header). I've fixed this for you, but in the future, I would recommend you read through the AfD instructions on the template before you nominate an article, or other people have to fix these things for you. Just a friendly reminder. Contact me if you need any help with this or anything else. (|--  UlT i MuS  02:08, 2 September 2006 (UTC)

Hi Justin, the blocks will get progressively longer until he starts editing within the policies. I know nothing about the issues but it seems obvious he's engaged in OR designed to show that Einstein was wrong or something. Keep on letting me know if he turns up again to make the same edits in case I don't notice. Cheers, SlimVirgin (talk) 05:44, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

Hi Authalic,

I greatly appreciate your help in reverting vandalism and spam on articles. Your efforts greatly improve the quality of Wikipedia. Could I ask one small favor? When you revert a vandal or spammer could you leave them an appropriate or  warning on their talk page? Its important to do this because the vandalism often stops when a user knows they have been spotted. It also helps other editors know about the user's past activities. You can find more information about warning users at recent changes patrol. Again, many thanks for your help. Best, Gwernol 00:43, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

I'm not in the band The Shiny Diamonds
In fact, I have never even met them before. I currently live in Paris and they live in Vancouver (my home town). I heard their music for the first time today on their myspace page. I created The Shiny Diamonds controversy page because I firmly believe that it can meet all wikipedia policies and guidelines. It has been covered by CBC Radio One, the Washington Post, and by City News International. My main motivation for getting this one article to stay alive is that I believe that wikipedia should not become the sum of SOME human knowledge. I recently learned that I'm an inclusionist. Because I'm a still learning the proper ways to create articles on Wikipedia, I have probably screwed it all up. I could really use some help from someone like you. Thank you for your help so far.

Mesoamerican archaeology and Latter Day Saint scholars
Interesting article, Authalic. I added an image of a Mesamerican wheeled figurine to it, which adds a bit of pizazz and demonstrates a point the article was trying to make. Do you have any references for the Olmec-as-Jaredite theory? We could use a bit more information and references at Olmec alternative origin speculations. Thanks, Madman 03:58, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

Hillcrest School (Jos, Nigeria)

Hillcrest School is a private, co-educational day school situated in the city of Jos in Nigeria which is sponsored by ten Christian mission bodies.

Hillcrest School was ranked 40th out of the top 100 best high schools in Africa by Africa Almanac in 2003, based upon quality of education, student engagement, strength and activities of alumni, school profile, internet and news visibility.

History
In 1942, Hillcrest School was founded to provide a Christian education for missionary children by the Church of the Brethren Mission. Anticipation was keen. Clarence and Lucile Heckman had been remodeling and getting ready the storeroom and house on the CBM compound for this hoped for day of July 22, 1942. The teacher, Mary Dadisman, welcomed 12 pupils to begin Hillcrest School, a new venture of the Church of the Brethren Mission. The school room, which also served as a house, had few pupils, with only two who were missionary children of CBM. Miss Dadisman, both a nurse and teacher had left the Garkida hospital to be the first teacher of the school.

In its first location, the school supplied a bed, food, foster parents, a teacher, but no text books. The order had been placed early, but the books were lost at sea because of the war. A second order was placed. When it didn't arrive, a tracer brought a report: ship sunk. Then in May, 1943 80 different packages arrived. School was dismissed and all the children went with the staff to the post office to bring the first text books to Hillcrest. Books had never been more welcomed by either pupils or teachers.

In 1946, the school moved to the current location. In 1952 Hillcrest had been in operation for 10 years. The enrollment was above 70. A special recognition service was held at St. Piran's church and 8th grade certificates were presented there to the 6 graduates. From the beginning, Hillcrest accepted pupils without regard to race or colour. On March 29, 1947, "The Nigerian Daily Times", Lagos, carried an article "No colour Bar in Brethren Mission School." Other missions quickly developed an interest in Hillcrest. So, in 1955 the Sudan United Mission, Assemblies of God Mission and the United Missionary Society joined CBM's efforts. These original four grew to include the Missouri Synod Lutheran Mission (1963), the American Lutheran Mission (1964), the Nigerian Baptist Mission (1967), Mambilla Baptist Mission (1967), Sudan Interior Mission (1968), the Great Commission Movement (1982), United Methodist and the Wycliffe Bible Translators.

By November 1955 all arrangements for capital contributions and organization had been worked out and the first meeting of the Board of Governors of Hillcrest School met. A constitution had been written, home boards had been contracted over and over and when the Board met for the first meeting there were present people from the 4 cooperating branches of S.U.M., Assemblies of God, U.M.S. and C.B.M. Cooperating missions share in capital investments and furnish staff members.

In 1972, Hillcrest became a day school and many of the cooperating bodies opened their own hostels. Currently, there are five approved hostels: Pineview (DL), Niger Creek (SIM), Crescent Hill (IMB), Mountain View (CRC) and DivineView (non-mission). Hillcrest began as a primary school, and secondary school classes were taken by correspondence until 1964. 1965 saw the first graduating class made up of eight students.

School Facts
Hillcrest School is a cooperative mission school run by 10 cooperating mission agencies, and each is responsible to supply teachers. Since its beginning in 1942, it has educated not only missionary kids but children from all over the world.

Currently, there are 235 students in grades 1–12, representing twenty four countries and ten major languages. Hillcrest has been open to Nigerian students and expatriates who meet the entrance requirements established by the Board of Governors of the school. Most of the students of the school live in Jos, but there are many children who board while their parents are doing mission work in other places in Nigeria and West Africa. Four of the hostels that students board in are; Divine View Hostel and Pine View Hostel.

The faculty at Hillcrest is made up of experienced, certified teachers. Twelve of the thirty teachers on staff hold advanced degrees beyond a Bachelor of Arts and Science.

The school is on about 25 acre, and breaks into three schools, Elementary (grades 1–5), Middle (grades 6–8), and High School. The school uses an American curriculum and is designed to academically equip students to successfully fit into American and European Colleges and Universities. The school offers a wide range of courses which includes Bible (4 courses), English (8), Industrial Arts (4), Mathematics (10), Music (3), Physical Education (5), Science (5), Social Studies (5), Arts (6), Computer (4), Business (2), among other subjects and courses including AP courses.

User:Arabani/Argent Dawn (WIP)

The Argent Dawn is an organization in the fictional Warcraft Universe dedicated to fighting the undead Scourge that controls the continent of Lordaeron. The Argent Dawn accepts aid from any that are willing to help them fight against the Scourge, even repentant undead, such as Leonid Barthalomew the Revered. The Argent Dawn views the Scourge to be the predominant threat to Azeroth and has little time for what it considers to be petty squabbbles between the Horde and the Alliance. The Argent Dawn is led by Lord Maxwell Tyrosus and Duke Nicholas Zverenhoff.

Organization
The Argent Dawn does not have many members, but what it lacks in size, it more than makes up for in strength of will. The members of the Argent Dawn are dedicated to their goal of eliminating the Scourge and healing the ravaged continent of Lordaeron. Although primarily composed of humans, the Argent Dawn welcomes members of all races, and even includes a few Night Elves and an Undead.

Operations
The Argent Dawn, being few in number, often recruits adventurers in its fight against the Scourge. Those who accept the commission of the Argent Dawn are able to exchange Scourgestones (insignia carried by the Scourge to denote rank) for Valor Tokens, used to either buy items from the Argent Dawn or to increase one's standing with the Argent Dawn. Agents of the Argent Dawn have also sabotaged the cauldrons used by the Scourge to spread their plague of undeath and collected data on the plague in the hopes of finding a way to counter it.

The Argent Dawn also fights against the Scarlet Crusade, which it sees as a group of blind zealots and a threat to the entire world. Despite their common goal, the leaders of the Argent Dawn view the Scarlet Crusade as a perversion of the Holy Light.

Chillwind Camp
A small camp on the border between the Western Plaguelands and Alterac Mountains, Chillwind Camp lies just south of the ruins of Andorhal. Weldon Barov, one of the last two heirs of the Barov family fortune, resides here under Alliance protection.

Light's Hope Chapel
The Argent Dawn's main base of operations, it is located in the Eastern Plaguelands, just south of the Scourge-infested Noxious Glade and north of the Scarlet Crusade garrison of Tyr's Hand. It is very small, consisting of only a ruined church and cemetery. Lord Maxwell Tyrosus and Duke Nicholas Zverenhoff reside here.

The Bulwark
An earthworks guarding the road from the Western Plaguelands to the Tirisfal Glade, it serves to contain the Scourge to the Plaguelands. Alexi Barov, the undead brother of Weldon Barov, resides here under the protection of the Horde.

Guildhouses
The Argent Dawn also maintains two guildhouses, one in the city of Stormwind, which is empty, and the other in the city of Darnassus.

Talk:Untranslatability

Actually
Actually, general-purpose sections of  Words hardest to translate must be moved here, leaving there only parts relevant to the list in question. (Unsigned comment from User:Mikkalai)

 * I agree. And I think the "Words hardest to translate" article should be deleted, since apart from the more general sections, it's only two completely subjective lists. Unencyclopedic, in my opinion. --BluePlatypus 11:55, 16 December 2005 (UTC)

 * Perhaps all of this should move to untranslatability, creating a part within that for common untranslatable words, such as the ones listed on this page - thus eliminating the subjective nature of the ranking, but leaving the informative examples. Robef

 * merge per Robef --K e rowyn 22:56, 16 February 2006 (UTC)

 * Where did the list of words hardest to translate gone? I cannot find such list in the current version of this article! :-( Netrat_msk (talk) 13:49, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

 * Which is especially stupid, because the article is now mostly about the fact that languages have differences, as is pointed out right away in Translation. This article is dumb.  It shouldn't be about things that are "hard" to translate, or "can't be translated exactly," or about different languages having different idioms.  It should be about things that can't be translated. :-( indeed. 70.58.19.71 (talk) 19:49, 10 October 2009 (UTC)

Structure of this article
The name of this article is not helpful in making and keeping it tidy, since "untranslatability" is a matter of gradation, and there is no definable boundary between "hard to translate" and "impossible to translate", something that might be pointed out in the opening paragraphs.

I think that the article should start with an overview (with examples) of the kinds of problems before going into the possible solutions. There are many more kinds of problems than just a lacuna, as shown in later examples. "Translating poetry" and "Translating puns" could be two subsections.

I don't understand the section heading "Theory". This does not seem more theoretical than any of the rest. If there is any "theoretical" section, it should deal with the theory of what can be considered a translation, which could be a concise rendering of Translation. This would be useful as a reference for the merits of various translation devices.

Then the ground has been laid for a section discussing solutions, approaches, devices, tricks. This should also be illustrated with examples; the Hofstadter book has plenty of examples. I don't think we need a separate section on Specific examples. Lambiam Talk 22:31, 23 April 2006 (UTC)

The claim that "poppycock" is particularly untranslatable is balderdash.
While this statement is "cute", it doesn't inform the reader, especially non-native English speakers. Someone please add words commonly used as a translation for poppycock or mention that it is translated as "nonesense" or for that matter cannot be translated. VarunRajendran

 * Questions:

-- )Patrick 22:50, 11 July 2006 (UTC)(
 * What is "poppycock" supposed to mean? (please explain for an American English speaker)
 * What does "balderdash" mean? I can only infer that it is synonymous with poppycock, correct?
 * Why is "poppycock" said to be untranslatable?
 * In your opinion, why is it *not* untranslatable?

 * Isn't poppycock also a food similar to caramel corn? I see it regularly at delis.  Eccomi 00:08, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

 * I'm not the same person, but I can answer some of those questions.

 * 1.) Poppycock is what I would translate as "ridiculous nonsense". It's a word you use to describe something that you think is so patently absurd that you refuse to believe it.

 * 2.)Balderdash has roughly the same meaning as poppycock, but in my opinion, it has a slightly rougher, more forceful sound. Contextually speaking: That's balderdash! is what you would say if someone says something so absurd that you feel it's insulting your intelligence; That's poppycock! has the connotation more of you thinking they are silly for believing it, a more dissmissively derisive feel. They both have the same basic meaning, and I'm sure somebody somewhere uses them completely interchangeably, but to me, "poppycock", with it's sillier sound, dismisses something with the wave of a hand; "balderdash", with it's plethora of harsher consonants, smacks it over the head with a shovel. Both words of course can be used as an exclamation, though personally I hear "poppycock!" as an exclamation more often.

 * 3.)I have no idea why anyone would think it was "untranslateable". What poppycock! :P If I had to translate it into a language which had no "direct" equivalent that covers the silly sound of "Poppycock!", I would simply use "Ridiculous!" (I don't think you could find a single human language that has no equivalent word for "ridiculous", honestly). If I had to translate "That's pure poppycock" with no other equivalent, I would use "That is pure nonsense". I think it's only the feel of the word that someone thinks can't be carried over. But you know, you could probably introduce a similarly silly-sounding, pompous-sounding neologism if the silliness itself was all that important. But really, it just means "complete and utter nonsense", which should be fairly easy to translate into pretty much any language imaginable.

 * By the way, Eccomi, yes, there is also a carmel corn-like snack food under the name Poppycock. I've had it before; as I recall, it's made with crushed hunks of popcorn with things like chocolate and carmel all over it. I'm pretty sure it's called "Poppycock" as a pun, because it includes POPcorn. ;) And the name is catchy... Runa27 17:55, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

"Double-Wide"
Not sure if this should count or not, because the word itself is easy to translate, i.e. a home trailer that is twice as wide as a normal home trailer. However, unless you are American living in particular areas, you'll never be able to explain the strange paradoxical pride-vs-shame "king amongst beggars" connotations that go along with it.
 * I hear you. If you have sources reliable for wikipedia about the topic, "Double-wide" might be an interesting article. `'mikkanarxi 02:21, 16 December 2006 (UTC)

Litost
The czech word "Litost" which has been described in Milan Kundera's The Book of Laughter and Forgetting should be considered too.

 * Apparently no one has any objections, so go ahead and add the word to the article. You didn't explain what this word means, so this information by itself does not help much. (Patrick 22:46, 11 July 2006 (UTC))

Lousy List
If we have to moderate the Today list with so many caveats, why don't we just delete it? It's not very useful.
 * I agree --Grstain 12:37, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

Title of the article
I think this article should be called, "untranslability into english", as it doesn't represent anyh other kind of untranslability between other pairs of languages, just whatever -> english.
 * I think that the problem arises from the examples and the addition of the Today list (see previous comment). By eliminating these, and concentrating "untranslatability", the article will recover its focus. Other articles, "Untranslatibility into English", "... into French", "... into German", etc. could be created if someone so desired. --Grstain 12:37, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

 * The examples in the Today list, as well as the other examples in the article are examples of "untranslatability" which obviously occur in translation to English; please bear in mind that the article is written in English! By definition, therefore, examples must also be in English, the "Today List" is no exception, "lousy" or not. In addition, many examples of translation into English illustrate important translation concepts that also apply to translations between languages other than English. If you would like to make the article more universal, you may add examples of translation between other languages, but keep in mind that you must provide an explanation in English, and even if you do so, your example(s) would not have the same impact. To make the article more universal, I would suggest adding examples that apply to different dialects of English such as British English, Australian English, Canadian English, etc., and possibly even examples of translation difficulties between them. -- (Patrick 22:44, 11 July 2006 (UTC))

Well, the use of "da kine" in Hawaian English seems to be untranslatable, or multiply translateable; And for Americans, the many meanings of the British "Bob's yer uncle!" are mystifying. Rhinoracer 12:21, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

Puns
I've added a reference to Asterix in this section, and will follow up with specific examples. Could anyone else think of good examples of pun translation/substitution?

I've had particular problems with this very conundrum while translating a French detective novel written in slang!Rhinoracer 14:51, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

"X is to me" in Turkish
To my knowledge "I have X" is expressed by "Xim var" which would be translated as "my X exists". Am I wrong here or is this a mistranslation in the article?
 * you are absolutely right. "X'im var" is the translation for "I have X" 213.31.11.80 (talk) 11:59, 10 September 2010 (UTC)

What about Davka?
I would have thought that Hebrew word davka is up there among the most difficult words to translate.

disputed
The one thing that this articul got wriht was that the translations depend on skill--but translators and linguists are utter dolts who are tools of the thousand-year-old corruption of English by the Roman, Norman, Francan, and Britan scum, who are not and never were Brets, so they hav no clue how to spæk or write English. I'v been banned from many boards because I wit too much and used it against their work and feelings, that I could take the world down in its delusions, the administrators and users on here and elsewhere a'being liars, libellers, and truth-haters who framed me for trian to wrihten their twisted understanding of the world. They bannd me because they are part of the deluded world, and they couldn't ken what I could because I reject all of their beliefs and had to make it knowen that they are wrong. Many other pages should still have my "disputed" tag, but the shysters-users coverd them up because they couldn't tell. I will take down the world for all of this.

Please keep a cool temper, lysdexia. I wonder if you're putting us on? However, continuing in the above vein is not helpful, and I doubt your 'disputed' template is merited. However, let's leave it up for the moment, and we shall see what the consensus is. Rhinoracer 13:05, 5 September 2006 (UTC)
 * What good is a cool temper when everyone in power abuses me? That damned admin kepd my block on for almost a year, and the en-wikilist admin bannd me from the list because I told the truth about what wrong the other users and admin did, and it was more important for them to keep the standard lige (Yes--lige, not "lie") than to be corrected which would go against what the whole world believes and reports.  What they call "trolling" is truthful and open editing.  Rdsmith4 calls my many corrections of factual mistakes in the science and language pages "trolling and disruption" and no admins give a damn that my block was never takene off for months and months so that the pages were left to rot.  And either the author of the help page on how to appeal a block was a liar, or the admin of that wikilist was (some she), because she told me that that list was not the place for me to report the block.
 * Anyway, "exists at me" -> "bodes at me". Those translators should stick to English, not yet more Latin crappa (chaffe.. or is that chafts?). -lysdexia 11:10, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

 * As I read the above he says he has been called a troll - but refutes it - I am not privy to other infomation that could show that he/she was or was not a troll -based on the paragraph above.

Your English is idiolectic and untrustworthy. I am removing the 'disputed' template. You haven't disputed any of the asserted facts in the article. I am a professional translator, by the way, and I do not appreciate your blanket aspersions against me and my colleagues-- particularly as they come from one whose grasp of language is, to put it charitably, weak. Rhinoracer 17:03, 6 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment - You use the language of the courts and no nothing of truth. How can you describe someone as 'untrustworthy' based on a paragraph.83.100.158.78 19:53, 22 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Reply to comment - Please do not twist my words. I said his English was 'untrustworthy', not he himself. Rhinoracer 12:03, 23 December 2006 (UTC)

 * In other words, you are another libeller. I hav no clue what a sockpuppet is, and I never troll, nor can anyone troll and correct at the same time.  All of my translations dispute the "untranslatability" [sic sic: both at the "un-" and the "-ata-" forms] of yeir examples.  My grasp of language is far broader and greater than yours, and your kind regularly makes claims that you can't and win't prove whilst a'making plenty of mistakes along the way to disprove any of your claim to understanding of the subject--as yours is that of the popular and vulgar (rowdy--see, translators can't even translat "vulgar" into English, so they have to stick with Latin) brand, you have no choosing but to stick with the defectulent speech that you cannot tell wriht from wrong within. -lysdexia 09:45, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

First of all, the article makes no claims of untranslatability-- it merely reproduces a list from elsewhere. The existence of this list is not in dispute.

Second-- you have either invented or taken from obscure or obsolete dialects most of your proposed translations. They are neither Standard nor colloquial English.

Fourth-- most of the real English words you propose are either ill-suited, or unusable in evry sense of the word being translated.

Fifth-- your claim that "un" is not acceptable as a negator is untrue. Which means, by the way, "not true".

Sixth-- you are rude and insulting. Please cease. Rhinoracer 11:10, 7 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment - you accused the above poster of being 'a sockpuppet of a band troll', then describe his comments a untrustworthy based on your percieved correct grammar.. Who here is insulting and who is being insulted?83.100.158.78 19:53, 22 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Reply to comment - Again, it is his English which is untrustworthy. The discussion does not address grammar, but vocabulary and usage. As for who is the insulting party, I am not the one calling people dolts and liars.

I have no interest whatsoever in a flame war, or indeed in discussing this matter. This man is a language crank. I am sorry if that appears insulting, but a cursory glance at his proposals or at any of his linguistic revisions of articles throughout Wikipedia confirm this. Cranks are causing enormous damage to thousands of articles. To my mind, they are a far greater threat to the Wikipedia project than vandals.They should be confronted firmly. Rhinoracer 12:12, 23 December 2006 (UTC)
 * 1. How could it make no claims whether or not it's a secondary source?
 * 2. From Standard English:

Standard English is a controversial term used to denote a form of written and spoken English that is thought to be normative for educated users. There are no set rules or vocabulary for "Standard English" because, unlike languages such as French, Spanish or Dutch, English does not have a governing body (see Académie française, Real Academia Española, Dutch Language Union) to establish usage.
 * Yes, I'm the only person in the world who uses this speech, which happend after early 2006 when I shutd myself from the computer and all outward communication--but still had the TV on--for several months, that after some research into the language pages, dictionary-diving for English and Latin ètumolòjies, and some unique success with perfect translations after many needed rescues from dead bits of words. Over those months I went mead (mæd) as I heard how often some English-speaker said some foreign word or name wrong, as well as used some common English words wrong, and overall spoke gibberish and nonsense with all the wrong parts of speech we inheritd, and I had no way to tell them off.  So I plan to write ae emmail with several declarations of war against all nations, that covers many subjects also outside of speech.
 * 3. most -> mest; You, like everyone else, do not distinguish a superlativ from a collectiv. (This is one of my meadly points.)  You must give specifics of what's wrong with those.
 * 4. Wrong, "untrue" does not mean "not true"; it means "away truth". "not true" means, well, "neither away nor again truth", as in it hasn't to do with truth.  The opposite of untrue is not true, but antrue--devrai and revrai, in your Francish.  "not true" may be otherwise "nottrue" or "truefree"--nonvrai ou sansvrai.
 * 5. You calld me a troll.

I added another sentence about the german word "doch", but I'm not 100% sure if the translation is the best. You get the meaning, but maybe someone could take a look and make a better one, if needed.

Also a list of "unique" words in different lenguages would be fun, but it should be on a seperate place to keep things clean.

Examples
It would be interesting to have a list of examples from several different languages at the end of the article.

Also, how do ambiguous translations (such as "to like" and "to love" both becoming "aimer" in French) fit into this? While not untranslatable, surely a fusion of words through translation, for lack of common alternatives (in the above example, of course, we could cite) is related?

Cousin in Dutch
"[..] both a son of a sibling and a son of an uncle are called neef" is correct, but "[..] it does not have different terms for nephew and cousin" is not: the words kozijn for cousin and oomzegger for nephew can be used. Also, the article states that this is a translation problem with Romance languages, but Dutch is a Germanic language.
 * I did not know about kozijn, but I came independently to the same conclusion regarding oomzegger, but both kozijn and oomzegger are unusual and I do not think you will hear it in the North of the Netherlands. (I dunno about Belgium and South Netherlands)Andries (talk) 00:53, 31 December 2008 (UTC)

Untranslatable from English?
This article in The Economist suggests (at the very end) that the word "accountability" is particularly difficult to translate into other languages -- or at least the Spanish, French, Russian, and Hebrew, Arabic, and Portuguese in which the author claims knowledge. --FOo (talk) 08:37, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
 * I am native speaker of Russian and I can assure you that there is Russian word for "accountability". "Accountability" translates to Russian as "подотчётность" (pod-ot-chyot-nost'). Netrat_msk (talk) 13:43, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
 * I am native speaker of Hebrew and I can assure you that there is a Hebrew word for "accountability". "Accountability" is translated into Hebrew as "אחריות" (ax-ra-yoot. Read the "x" as the Russian x). HOOTmag (talk) 20:07, 10 October 2009 (UTC)

Ebonics English
I believe this article should mention English word that came from African American community such as "hustle", "flow  " and "groove".

The concept of "flow" was not fimiliar to most cultures before the rise of new-school hip-hop in US, thus no other language may have a proper translation for it.

The same is true for words like "sushi". Netrat_msk (talk) 13:54, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

 * Hustle and flow are examples of jargon. Any time a group invents or appropriates words to express something meaningful to them, that jargon is going to require explanation to people outside that group.  That's not really a translation issue, because it applies even to communicating with people who speak the same langauge. -JasonAQuest (talk) 13:59, 8 August 2008 (UTC)

Voldemort?
Perhaps it could be mentioned in the Poetry, Puns and Wordplay section that while in the English version of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets Tom Marvolo Riddle is an anagram of I am Lord Voldemort, this would obviously have to be changed in other languages. He is Tom Elvis Jedusor ("Je suis Voldemort) in French and Tom Vorlost Riddle ("Ist Lord Voldemort"). Of course it will be different in every language, but those are the only two I know.

Gogol
QUOTING the article:

"Similarly, when Quebec playwright Michel Tremblay adapted Gogol's play Revizor (The Government Inspector), as Le gars de Québec, he transposed the setting from Russia to his home province."

Fine, but what has this information to do with the subject of the article, which is things that are untranslatable?

Wanderer57 (talk) 01:36, 16 August 2008 (UTC)

Ilunga
Good evening,

I noticed that in the "Paraphrase" section, when the author of the article mentions the word "Ilunga", he/she says that it's "a word supposedly from a language in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.". I found the use of "supposedly" a little strange, because it is referenced that "Ilunga" is a word from the Tshiluba language. So, I suggest that it should be rephrased as "a word from the Tshiluba language in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.", or just "a word from a language in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.", without the "supposedly". Sanscrit1234 (talk) 00:00, 26 October 2008 (UTC).

"One particular type of foreign object that poses difficulties is the proper noun. As an illustration, consider another example from Douglas Hofstadter, which he published in one of his "Metamagical Themas" columns in Scientific American. He pondered the question, Who is the first lady of Britain? Well, first ladies reside at the White House, and at the time, the woman living at 10 Downing Street was Margaret Thatcher. But a different attribute that first ladies have is that they are married to heads of government, so perhaps a better answer was Denis Thatcher, but he probably would not have relished the title".

The "First Lady of Britain" would be HM Queen Elizabeth II, as she is the Head of State. The author does rather rely on other countries using the American model of government, namely the embodiment of total executive power in the leading politician of the day, rather than the Westminster system (among others) that enshrines a separate office that serves a constitutional role that divorces state from government, the nation's figurehead. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.6.52.193 (talk) 05:43, 3 May 2009 (UTC)

Dupont and Dupond
I think this example should inform that a visual character of the policemen was lost when their names were adapted. The last letter of their names indicates who they are. Dupont has a twisted moustache while Dupond has a straight moustache: T for tordue and D for droite. I really wonder which one is Thompson and which one is Thomson? -- Silwilhith (talk) 22:59, 9 August 2009 (UTC)

Translating "very" to Dutch
Translating "it is very probable that..." is easy. "The very idea of ... is ..." would need a clarification like "just the idea of ... is already..." ("alleen het idee al ... is ...") which is awkward, too long and not strong enough, or a shorter description that would include the German word "überhaupt" because Dutch has no proper word for that either.

 * That depends on the definition of loaning I think. Most people know the word, but it still has the ü which is not a Dutch character. It is listed in the authoritative Van Dale dictionary, but the Dutch Language Union advises to use it sparingly and contrasts it to "Dutch alternatives". Joepnl (talk) 20:27, 10 March 2010 (UTC)

Merge from "Words Hardest to Translate"
The last version of the ex-article "Words Hardest to Translate" contains substantial content not adequately carried over to this article. In particular, commentators on Talk:Words hardest to translate argued for the deletion of an interesting list on the basis that it was "dangerously close to advertising".

Too many examples
This article is overflowing with unnecessary examples. If left to grow, nothing will check it, as most languages have countless words that cannot be translated into another; even if we focus only on "untraslatable into English," we're still dealing with such a wide set of info that the list will grow without bound. Furthermore, as others have pointed out in the past, this article is almost entirely uncited. For all the average reader knows, these words are entirely fictional, and/or they are entirely translatable, but it's just that the editors themselves didn't know how to do the translation. Are there enough regular editors here to come to some sort of consensus about how to go about trimming this section down? It seems to me that the family section is the biggest offender...but others may have thoughts about doing more substantive re-organizing...Qwyrxian (talk) 04:17, 29 July 2010 (UTC)

The Danish, Norwegian and Swedish examples should be taken out. The explanations are poor (and "Vetter + Kusine" exists in German too).

source/target text
In the current version of the article, at Untranslatability, we read

Compensation is a translation procedure whereby the translator solves the problem of aspects of the source text that cannot take the same form in the target language by replacing these aspects with other elements or forms in the source text.

Names in the Bible?
It says names like Eve, when translated into English, make little sense in English. I think this is wrong. Even though Eve originally meant "life", it would still make sense in English (through folk etymology) as "the mother of all the living" because she is before all else. She is the Eve to the living, like how Christmas Eve is to Christmas. Also, though these aren't in this article, there are some other biblical verses that make sense in English through folk etymology: "woman" as "from man", "Babel" as "Babble", etc. 96.4.9.71 (talk) 13:03, 31 January 2013 (UTC)

Aunts and Uncles in German?
"In [...]German[...] there are different words for the person indicated by "mother's brother", "father's brother" and "parent's sister's husband", all of which would be uncle in English."

Multiple issues
There is a Multiple issues template containing several templates listing various areas for improving the article. Each of these is supposed to reference its own Talk page section, but up till now, has not done so, afaict. This is an attempt to remedy that. With the exception of the OR and Unfocused templates which I added, I can't mind-read what each editor's intent or justification may have been for placing the templates.

So long as there is no consensus about a resolution of a problem named in a subsection below, the corresponding hatnote in the Multiple issues template should remain on the article page. Each subsection below is intended to be completely independent, and so there's some duplication of wording. This is so that someone coming to one of the sections from a link doesn't have to look all over for an explanation. Please comment on an individual issues by appending your comment to one of the sections below (and don't forget to add four tildes after your entry to apply your signature). Mathglot (talk) 03:05, 27 March 2017 (UTC)

Essay-like
According to Template:Essay-like, this means that the article "is written like a personal reflection or opinion essay". (It does not mean that it's written like an "essay" in the sense of a school essay or research paper.)

Pros and cons

The article is full of unsubstantiated, personal opinion, including just about everything in the #Examples section. For specific cases, search on page for 'difficult to translate' for example. Says who? Mathglot (talk) 03:05, 27 March 2017 (UTC)

Cleanup
Template:Cleanup says that this article "may require cleanup to meet Wikipedia's quality standards". The template has a reason param but the user who placed the template didn't provide a reason.

Pros and cons

With no reason given, it's hard to read their mind. As it is, it's too vague. I would say, that if no editor comes along with a justification for why the "Cleanup" template should remain at the top of the page, we should delete it after a decent interval; say, three months? Mathglot (talk) 03:05, 27 March 2017 (UTC)

Refimprove
Template:Refimprove says that the "article needs additional citations for verification." The user who placed it did not provide a reason param, or give a talk section name.

Pros and cons

Painfully obvious why this banner is needed. This article needs to comply with verifiability like any other; at a minimum, every example needs a citation by a reliable source. Mathglot (talk) 03:05, 27 March 2017 (UTC)

Original research
Template:Original research says that the article "possibly contains original research" but doesn't explain further in the template doc, because there is extensive information about OR elsewhere. No original research is a major part of verifiability which is one of the core principles of Wikipedia. The reason param given says, "Whole article, examples and procedures, seems like OR".

Pros and cons

Almost the whole article seems like Original research. Specific examples do not have reliable sources attached, and much of it looks like it was pulled out of a hat; both the #Examples, as well as the #Translation procedures section. The talk section above from 2010 alludes to possible OR, and some of the comment there may be relevant to take into consideration. Mathglot (talk) 03:05, 27 March 2017 (UTC)

Unclear
Template:Unclear is a redirect to Template:Confusing, and says that the article "may be confusing or unclear to readers." A reason param is available but was not used.

Pros and cons

It's unclear to me what the editor who placed this template found unclear or confusing. As it is, it's too vague. I would say, that if no editor comes along with a justification for why the "Cleanup" template should remain at the top of the page, we should delete it after a decent interval; say, three months? Mathglot (talk) 03:05, 27 March 2017 (UTC)

Unfocused
Template:Unfocused says that an article "may lack focus or may be about more than one topic". The reason param says that "Content in Translation procedures section would fit better at Translation or elsewhere."

Pros and cons

The whole #Translation procedures section has some good content (unfortunately unreferenced, and may also be OR, but that's already covered above) however this article isn't about Translation procedures. The content of the article should stick to material that is relevant to the article title. This material about how to translate might be welcome at the article Translation or perhaps Translation studies, or one of the articles listed at Template:Translation sidebar, but it's not relevant here. Mathglot (talk) 03:05, 27 March 2017 (UTC)

Translation procedures
Removed this section. There have been complaints about this section not having any references going back to 2007, and it still doesn't. That's long enough. Verifiability is a core concept at Wikipedia, we can't simply ignore it. Probably some good content could be written and sourced properly, and that would be fine, although it might be more appropriate as part of a different article than this one.

Course (education)

In higher education, a course is a unit of teaching that typically lasts one academic term, is led by one or more instructors (teachers or professors), and has a fixed roster of students. A course usually covers an individual subject. Courses generally have a fixed program of sessions every week during the term, called lessons or classes. Students may receive a grade and academic credit after completion of the course. Courses can either be compulsory material or "elective". An elective is usually not a required course, but there are a certain number of non-specific electives that are required for certain majors. The entire collection of courses required to complete an academic degree is called a program (or programme) of studies.

The term is used in various countries, such as Vietnam, Canada, Nigeria, and the United States. In India, the United Kingdom, Australia and Singapore, as well as parts of Canada, the word "unit" or "module" would be used to refer to an academic course as used in North America and the rest of Europe. In the Philippines, a course can be an individual subject (usually referred to by faculty and school officials) or the entire programme (usually referred to by students and outsiders).

Types of courses
Courses are made up of individual sessions, typically on a fixed weekly schedule.

There are different formats of course in universities:

 * the lecture course, where the instructor gives lectures with minimal interaction;
 * the seminar, where students prepare and present their original written work for discussion and critique;
 * the colloquium or reading course, where the instructor assigns readings for each session which are then discussed by the members;
 * the tutorial course, where one or a small number of students work on a topic and meet with the instructor weekly for discussion and guidance.
 * the Directed Individual Study course, where a student requests to create and title an area of study for themselves which is more concentrated and in-depth than a standard course. It is directed under a tenured faculty member and approved by a department chair or possibly the dean within that specific college;
 * the laboratory course, where most work takes place in a laboratory.

Many courses combine these formats. Lecture courses often include weekly discussion sections with smaller groups of students led by the principal instructor, another instructor, or teaching assistant. Laboratory courses often combine lectures, discussion sections, and laboratory sessions.

Students are expected to do various kinds of work for a course:

 * Attending course sessions.
 * Reading and studying course readings assigned in the course syllabus.
 * Discussing material they have read.
 * Writing short and long papers based on assigned reading and their own library research.
 * Completing homework or problem sets.
 * Completing laboratory exercises.
 * Taking quizzes and examinations.

The exact work required depends on the discipline, the course, and the particular instructor. Unlike most European university courses, grades are generally determined by all of these kinds of work, not only the final examination.

Elective and required courses
An elective course is one chosen by a student from a number of optional subjects or courses in a curriculum, as opposed to a required course which the student must take. While required courses (sometimes called "core courses" or "general education courses") are deemed essential for an academic degree, elective courses tend to be more specialized. Elective courses usually have fewer students than the required courses.

The term elective is also used for a period of medical study conducted away from the student's home medical school, often abroad. Motivations for choosing such a program include a wish to experience other cultures and to learn how to work in the clinical situations in other countries.

Typically, North American universities require students to achieve both breadth of knowledge across disciplines and depth of knowledge in a particular chosen subject area, known as a major. Thus, students of the Arts or Humanities are required to take some science courses, and vice versa. Normally, students are free to choose their particular electives from among a wide range of courses offered by their university, as long as the students possess the prerequisite knowledge to understand the subject matter being taught. An English major, for example, might also study one or two years of chemistry, biology or physics as well as mathematics and a foreign language.

Elective courses are also offered in the third and fourth years of university, though the choice is more restrictive and will depend upon the particular major the student has chosen. For example, at the University of British Columbia, students intending to specialize in Sanskrit as part of a major in Asian language and culture will usually have to complete several Sanskrit and Hindustani or Punjabi courses during the first two years of university, as well as additional courses in other languages of India in the third and fourth years of study. In addition to these required courses, however, students would choose among several third- and fourth-year elective courses on topics not directly related to India, such as the history and culture of China, Japan or Indonesia.

US course numbering system
In the United States, most colleges and universities use a course numbering system where each course is identified by the name of the major (or an abbreviation thereof) followed by a 3- or 4-digit number − for example, "French 213" (pronounced "two thirteen") or "CS 123" (pronounced "one twenty-three"). This common numbering system began to be used in the 1920s and was designed to make transfer between colleges easier. In theory, any numbered course in one academic institution should bring a student to the same standard as a similarly numbered course at other institutions. However, this is not a strict rule, and each institution is free to choose its own course numbers. Other countries may use very different numbering schemes or even no numbering system at all. In general, the equivalence between courses at different universities must be established by comparing their stated contents.

The first digit of the course number usually designates its level, or relative difficulty, of the course, and may roughly correspond the year of study in which the course is likely to be taken (e. g. 1 for freshman, 2 for sophomore, 3 for junior, 4 for senior in undergraduate courses, and 5 and above for graduate courses). Correspondingly, "a 200-level course" (pronounced "two hundred") would mean a sophomore-level course.

The attribution of digits other than the first is even less standardized, but in general, sequences of related courses tend to have consecutive numbers, indicating prerequisites or recommended sequence. So, for instance, a college may not allow students to enroll in English 201 before they have passed English 101 and 102. It is common for the middle digit(s) to indicate the subfield in the department within which the course is offered − for example, in a Physics department, all courses numbered "PHYS 47xx" may be about magnetism, while all "PHYS 48xx" courses may be about optics.

The course number 101 (pronounced "one oh one") is often used for a first or introductory course in a particular topic. This number appears to have been first used by the University of Buffalo in 1929. It eventually gave the US slang term "101" used to designate elementary knowledge in any subject, academic or not; as in "boiling potatoes is cooking 101". There is a record of usage in this generic sense in 1986.

The University of Northern Iowa changed its course numbering system from 3 digits to 4 digits at the start of the fall 2011 semester.

The University of Northern Iowa offers classes up to 7999.

The College of William and Mary uses 5 digits for course reference numbers (CRNs). The CRN's first digit is 2 for a spring class, 3 for a summer class, and 1 for a fall class.

Sometimes the same course is taught by different faculty and/or at different times. In this case, a section number is used to differentiate between the different classes.

Weever

Weevers (or weeverfish) are nine extant species of fishes of family Trachinidae, order Trachiniformes, part of the Percomorpha clade. They are long (up to 37 cm), mainly brown in color, and have venomous spines on their first dorsal fin and gills. During the day, weevers bury themselves in sand, just showing their eyes, and snatch prey as it comes past, which consists of shrimp and small fish.

Weevers are unusual in not having swim bladders, as have most bony fish, and as a result sink as soon as they stop actively swimming. With the exception of T. cornutus from the southeast Pacific, all species in this family are restricted to the eastern Atlantic (including the Mediterranean). An extinct relative, Callipteryx, is known from the Monte Bolca lagerstätte of the Lutetian epoch.

Weevers are sometimes used as an ingredient in the recipe for bouillabaisse.

Weevers are sometimes erroneously called 'weaver fish', although the word is unrelated. In fact the word 'weever' is believed to derive from the Old French word wivre, meaning serpent or dragon, from the Latin vipera. It is sometimes also known as the viperfish, although it is not related to the viperfish proper (i.e. the stomiids of the genus Chauliodus).

In Australia sand perches of the family Mugilidae are also known as weevers.

In Portugal the weever is known as peixe-aranha, which translates to 'spider-fish', and in Catalan as aranya, which is identical to the word for 'spider'.

Species
The 9 extant species in two genera are:

 * Genus Echiichthys
 * Lesser weever, E. vipera (Cuvier, 1829)
 * Genus Trachinus
 * Spotted weever, T. araneus Cuvier, 1829
 * Guinean weever, T. armatus Bleeker, 1861
 * Sailfin weever, T. collignoni Roux, 1957
 * Trachinus cornutus Guichenot, 1848.
 * Greater weever, T. draco Linnaeus, 1758
 * Striped weever, T. lineolatus Fischer, 1885
 * Cape Verde weever, T. pellegrini Cadenat, 1937
 * Starry weever, T. radiatus Cuvier, 1829

Stings: causes, frequency and prevention
Most human stings are inflicted by the lesser weever, which habitually remains buried in sandy areas of shallow water and is thus more likely to come into contact with bathers than other species (such as the greater weever, which prefers deeper water); stings from other species are generally limited to anglers and commercial fishermen. Even very shallow water (sometimes little more than damp sand) may harbour lesser weevers. The vast majority of injuries occur to the foot and are the result of stepping on buried fish; other common sites of injury are the hands and buttocks.

Stings are most common in the hours before and after low tide (especially at springs), so one possible precaution is to avoid bathing or paddling at these times. Weever stings have been known to penetrate wet suit boots even through a rubber sole (if thin), and bathers and surfers should wear sandals, "jelly shoes", or wetsuit boots with relatively hard soles, and avoid sitting or "rolling" in the shallows. Stings also increase in frequency during the summer (to a maximum in August), but this is probably the result of the greater number of bathers.

The lesser weever can be found from the southern North Sea to the Mediterranean, and is common around the south coast of the United Kingdom and Ireland, the Atlantic coast of France, Portugal and Spain, and the northern coast of the Mediterranean. The high number of bathers found on popular tourist beaches in these areas means stings are common, although individual chances of being stung are low. The South Wales Evening Post stated (on 8 August 2000) that around 40 weever stings are recorded in the Swansea and Gower area every year, but many victims do not seek medical assistance and go uncounted.

Symptoms
At first many victims believe they have simply scratched themselves on a sharp stone or shell, although this barely hurts; significant pain begins 2–3 minutes afterwards. Weever stings cause severe pain; common descriptions from victims are "extremely painful" and "much worse than a wasp (or bee) sting".

Common and minor symptoms include severe pain, itching, swelling, heat, redness, numbness, tingling, nausea, vomiting, joint aches, headaches, abdominal cramps, lightheadedness, increased urination and tremors.

Rare and severe symptoms include abnormal heart rhythms, weakness, shortness of breath, seizures, decreased blood pressure, gangrene, tissue degeneration and unconsciousness.

Treatment
Although extremely unpleasant, weever stings are not generally dangerous and the pain will ease considerably within a few hours even if untreated. Complete recovery may take a week or more; in a few cases, victims have reported swelling and/or stiffness persisting for months after envenomation.

First aid treatment consists of immersing the affected area in hot water (as hot as the victim can tolerate without being scalded), which will accelerate denaturation of the protein-based venom. The use of hot water will reduce the pain felt by the victim after a few minutes. Usual experience is that the pain then fades within 10 to 20 minutes, as the water cools. Folklore often suggests the addition of substances to the hot water, including urine, vinegar, and Epsom salts, but this is of limited or no value. Heat should be applied for at least 15 minutes, but the longer the delay (before heat is applied), the longer the treatment should be continued. Once the pain has eased, the injury should be checked for the remains of broken spines, and any found need to be removed. Over-the-counter analgesics, such as aspirin or ibuprofen, may be of assistance in management of pain and can also reduce edema.

Medical advice should be sought if any of the symptoms listed above as rare or severe are observed, if swelling spreads beyond the immediate area of injury (e.g. from hand to arm), if symptoms persist, or if any other factor causes concern. Medical treatment consists of symptom management, analgesia (often with opiates) and the same heat treatment as for first aid - more systemic treatment using histamine antagonists may assist in reducing local inflammation.

Fatalities
The only recorded death in the UK occurred in 1933, when a fisherman off Dungeness suffered multiple stings. The victim may have died of other medical causes exacerbated by the stings.

Crângași

Crângași is one of the smallest neighborhoods in the 6th Sector of Bucharest, Romania. It is situated on the west side of the city near the Dâmbovița River, where it flows into Lacul Morii. Its name means "people living in a young forest". Nearby neighborhoods include Giulești and Militari.

History
Coins from the 4th century during the reign of Valentinian I and a furnace for making clay pots were discovered in the area. A map in 1835 displays a small village with only five houses called Crângași between Bucharest, the Dâmbovița River, and Marele Voievod commune. In 1922, a part of the village was integrated in Bucharest. Between 1940 and 1960 the area was inhabited by poor people which built houses near the river. In the early 60s, communist style apartment blocks were built in the area, initially known as the Constructorilor housing estate. It later continued in the mid to late 1980s with 8 to 10 storey apartment blocks. Due to the rise of the Dâmbovița River, the area was frequently flooded. The problem was solved in 1986 when Lacul Morii was built.

Commercial area
Piața Crângași is a flea market in the center of the neighborhood which sells anything from fruits and cereals to shoes and electronics. In 2005 the Grant Shopping Center was opened on Virtuții street, near the Crângași metro station. The shopping complex hosts 50 stores, a beauty saloon, and a coffee shop.

Recreation
The main attraction of the area is Lacul Morii and the nearby park. During summer a swimming pool and a beach is opened in the south west part of the neighborhood. The Crângași Park has an outdoor stage where free plays are held during summer. There is also an artificial panel for climbing inside Grant Metal on Constructorilor boulevard.

John Carr (architect)

John Carr (1723–1807) was a prolific English architect, best known for Buxton Crescent in Derbyshire and Harewood House in West Yorkshire. Much of his work was in the Palladian style. In his day he was considered to be the leading architect in the north of England.

Life
He was born in Horbury, near Wakefield, West Riding of Yorkshire, the eldest of nine children and the son of a master mason, under whom he trained. He started an independent career in 1748 and continued until shortly before his death. John Carr was Lord Mayor of York in 1770 and again in 1785. Towards the end of his life Carr purchased an estate at Askham Richard, near York, to which he retired. On 22 February 1807 he died at Askham Hall. He was buried in St Peter and St Leonard's Church, Horbury, which he had designed and paid for.

Career
Carr decided to remain in Yorkshire rather than move to London because he calculated that there was ample patronage and the wealth to sustain it. No job was too small. His largest work, only partially finished, was the Hospital de Santo António in Oporto, Portugal. In order to maximise his income, he kept his staff to the minimum. His earliest assistant was architect William Lindley, who from 1774 developed an independent practice. He was followed by the elder Peter Atkinson and possibly his son Peter the younger. Carr's nephew William Carr also assisted him in his latter years. These architectural assistants had in turn 'boys' to help them. Carr rarely delegated matters that others would regard as too trivial, and in consequence Carr had to travel immense distances mostly on horseback. However the frequency of such visits brought him into regular contact with his many clients to mutual advantage. Carr's own favourite work was Buxton Crescent in Derbyshire, an early example of multifunctional architecture. As well as hotels and lodging houses, it contained Assembly Rooms, shops, a post office and a public promenade all under one roof. On a smaller scale, the same is true of his Newark Town Hall.

Other public buildings included hospitals, such as Lincoln and York; racecourse grandstands, such as York, Doncaster and Nottingham (all now demolished); and prisons at Wakefield and Northallerton. He designed new churches as well as repairing old ones. The former were all privately financed, the latter were financed by the existing parishes. His single span roof construction allowed him to build the new churches without the traditional subdivision into nave and aisles.

He served as bridgemaster for both the North and West Ridings of Yorkshire, leaving a legacy of many bridges, the majority of which still stand today. The more than 60 bridges built or altered by Carr still serve the backbone of North Yorkshire's road transport network. Carr was Lord Mayor of York in 1770 and 1785.

His commissions for country houses included model villages and farms, stable blocks, a variety of gate lodges and gateways, garden temples and other ornamental buildings. Notable among them his works for the estates of Harewood and Wentworth Woodhouse.

He took particular care with their planning and construction to maximise value for money for both the immediate patron and for the buildings' future long-term maintenance. He used traditional materials and methods of construction where these had proved sound, but adopted new methods and materials where these could be shown to have an advantage. His training as a stonemason naturally led him to build in that material. In particular he enjoyed using 'great' stones as at Tabley House. He liked well proportioned rooms which were satisfactory living spaces with or without decorative enrichment. In his view the latter could be provided later if money permitted. As a result, most of his buildings were completed and because of the soundness of construction most survive.

Among the buildings accessible in whole or part to the public today are Buxton Crescent, Newark Town Hall, virtually all his bridges, Harewood House, Tabley House, Clifton House (now a museum in Rotherham), Lytham Hall and Fairfax House at 27 Castlegate York, now the headquarters of York Civic Trust.

Influences
During his long career there were several major changes in architectural style. His early work is a mixture of the Palladian and the Rococo. He then sought a purer Antique Roman style with occasional French influences before adapting the currently fashionable style associated with Robert Adam. At the end of his life he returned to the bolder Palladian style of his youth but with detail that looked forward to 19th-century usage.

Carr's work was influenced by the books of Sebastiano Serlio and Andrea Palladio. He subscribed to many architectural pattern books, including those of his friend George Richardson, and also contemporary publications by Robert Morris and William Chambers.

Universidad La Salle México

Universidad La Salle also referred to by its acronym ULSA is a private Catholic secondary and higher education institution run by the Institute of the Brothers of the Christian Schools in 15 campuses in Mexico. It offers high school, bachelor, master and Ph.D degrees. It has had an expansion in the country, creating its own university national system. Its main campus is located in Mexico City, and has a presence in Ciudad Obregón, Chihuahua, Gomez Palacio, Monterrey, Ciudad Victoria, Leon, Morelia, Pachuca, Ciudad Nezahualcóyotl, Puebla, Oaxaca, Cancun, Cuernavaca and Saltillo.

It is part of the educational community of the Brothers of the Christian Schools, founded by Saint Jean-Baptiste de La Salle, patron saint of education. The congregation has about seventy-seven thousand lay partners and one million students around the world, with establishments of higher learning in Argentina, Belgium, Brazil, Colombia, France, Guatemala, Israel, Ivory Coast, Jerusalem, Pakistan, Palestine, Philippines, Spain, the United States, and Venezuela.

History
In 1905, the brothers of La Salle Jerbert Alphonse Gibert, Adrien Marie Astruc, Amedée Francois Vincent and Antoinde Claude Carrel traveled to Mexico from Le Havre, France, along with Br. Pedro Celestino Schniedier who traveled from Colombia. They founded the delegation of LaSalle brethren in Mexico. The brothers established schools in Puebla, Toluca, Torreon, Monterrey, and various other locations in the country. Their first high school in Mexico City opened in 1931, the Colegio Francés De la Salle. In 1932 the school won formal recognition and authorization by the National Autonomous University of Mexico. In 1938 the Colegio Cristóbal Colón was also established in the Colonia San Rafael.

The history of Universidad La Salle began with the relocation of Colegio Cristóbal Colón to the center of the traditional Colonia Condesa in Mexico City in 1962. On February 15 it opened its doors with only the high school building completed and a partially built tower, gym and auditorium. By May of the same year, it had rapidly grown to announce its transformation from just a school to a full university category. Since then, it has undergone continuous expansion. The main campus has a population of approximately 10,000 students, and has expanded its campus throughout Mexico City with buildings in many areas of the city.

There are branches of Universidad La Salle in 15 Mexican states. The La Salle educational institution itself is represented in over 82 different countries, and 5 continents making it the largest educational community in the world.

ULSA is among the top 7 private universities in Mexico and ranked in the top three in areas such as Architecture, Mechanical Engineering, Industrial Engineering, Chemical Engineering and Medicine.

The Universidad La Salle medical school (Facultad Mexicana de Medicina) is one of the most prestigious medical school in Mexico. It was Mexico's first private medical school and was founded in 1970. It is accredited by the Consejo Mexicano para la Acreditación de la Educación Médica (COMAEM), and is listed in the International Medical Education Directory. Albeit a young school, many of the country's department heads are graduates from La Salle.

Brian Wilson (news correspondent)

Brian Glenn Wilson (born February 15, 1956) is an American former anchor reporter for Fox News. He is a past chairman of the Capitol Hill Radio/TV Correspondents' Association. He currently hosts The Drive with Brian Wilson on SuperTalk 99.7 WTN, a talk radio station in Nashville.

Early life and education
Wilson was born and raised in Odessa, Texas. Wilson holds a master's degree in print journalism from American University, where he also served as an adjunct professor in the university's communication school.

Career
Wilson began his career as a reporter at KFDA, the CBS affiliate station in Amarillo, Texas, then worked at KTPX in Odessa, Texas, and as a reporter in Mobile, Alabama. Wilson then served as a reporter and anchor on WTTG in Washington, D.C.

Wilson hosted a D.C.-based weekend program on Fox News and appeared once as a substitute anchor for Brit Hume on the weekday program Special Report with Brit Hume. From 2003 to 2006, Wilson was also the congressional correspondent for the network. In January 2007, he was promoted to the Washington bureau chief for Fox News.

In 2007, Fox News reporter Rudi Bakhtiar said she rebuffed sexual advances from Wilson, which she claims led to her dismissal at Fox News. As a result of these allegations, in mid-September 2010 Howard Kurtz of The Washington Post reported that Wilson had resigned from the network, adding that the breakup between Fox and Wilson "wasn't pretty."

In 2011, Wilson joined 630 WMAL Washington DC/105.9 WMAL-FM Woodbridge Virginia as a host. He left the station in 2018.

In February 2018, Cumulus Media signed Wilson as the new host of its Nashville Morning News show on News Talk radio station SuperTalk 99.7 WWTN-FM.

In the 2019 film, Bombshell, which details Wilson's sexual harassment of Rudi Bakhtiar along with other events preceding Roger Ailes' firing after sexual misconduct allegations, Wilson is portrayed by Brian d'Arcy James.
