Hi, the recent edit you made to Gerd Honsik has been reverted, as it appears to be unconstructive. Use the sandbox for testing; if you believe the edit was constructive, ensure that you provide an informative edit summary. You may also wish to read the introduction to editing. Thanks.

[edit] Misunderstanding

There has been a misunderstanding of what I said!! Please calm down. I was suggesting that you cite that book! NOt that you translate and quote it!You can reply right here if you please. I am sorry if what I said was in anyway ambigious. I was only trying to help you by providing a guideline that allows you to provide a foreign language book as a REFERENCE for CITING only Prashanthns (talk) 21:04, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

I already mentioned the book, its ISBN is 3-85452-256-8, its editor is Wolfgang Purtscheller, the title of the book is "Die Ordnung, die sie meinen. »Neue Rechte« in Österreich.", it was published in Picus Verlag, in Vienna, in 1994. What do you want me to do? I know that the information that I added to the Gerd Honsik article is factually correct, because I have the book laying on my desk beside me, the very same book is also there as reference in the German article about Gerd Honsik. Shall I redo the edit, adding the mentioned book as a reference? Sorry if it my last message sounded too harsh, it's just that I never before came in contact with somebody who was _so_ skeptical of what I edited in an article. :-) Cheers, 86.56.237.43 (talk) 21:19, 18 May 2008 (UTC)
I have undone myself based on our discussion. Hope that restores some of the faith lost in me. :). What I was referring to was an in-text citation like I just added into the article. Please feel free to leave a small note about it on the article's talk page as it is a German reference. If possible refer to the policy I referred to you earlier on providing non-english references, and if possible, do leave an english translation of the book title (not the book itself!:)) in the reference. Cheers. I will copy this exchange on to my talk page too so as to centralize the discussion. Prashanthns (talk) 21:34, 18 May 2008 (UTC)
