[edit] To Cleaner-Uppers

This article appears to have been computer-translated from the same article at German Wikipedia.[1 ] I can read bits of German so I'm trying to fix the dreadful prose that has resulted. Of course, these things take longer than you think. Schmitty120 22:33, 14 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] References

I added an unreferenced flag. There are actually a few references (or at least external links), but they do not cover the full article, and they are not reliable or verifiable. Any source that claims to know for sure that he knew 68 languages, and that he mastered them all to perfection, is likely out of touch with reality. The external link from Weikopf makes this claim, at the same time as it gives a statement from himself at the age of 47 when he claims to be able to translate correctly into only seven foreign languages. The number 68 then implies that he learnt writing in 61 languages during the last sixteen years of his life, and that he kept all of them alive. I am willing to believe that only when I see what he has written. Mlewan (talk) 09:59, 9 December 2007 (UTC)
