Navajo/Flagstaff

Hi! I noticed that you added the following Navajo language translation to the Flagstaff, Arizona article (Navajo Kinłání). I just wanted to confirm whether this is, in fact, a direct translation from English-to-Navajo of Flagstaff, or actually the Navajo word describing the overall region where Flagstaff is, which is a bit different from the literal translation. Thanks! Dr. Cash (talk) 15:43, 12 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I believe it is the Navajo name for the city (or the area), also see other cities, Santa Fe, Albuquerque, Phoenix, Gallup, etc ... I got the name from the Navajo Wikipedia's article on Flagstaff.--Alfredie (talk) 20:41, 12 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time.

Please don't delete a section without good reason

You have blanked a section in article Christianity in Mongolia twice. Please don't behave like that. You are aware that the content of that section is reality. Please see Bible_translations_by_language#Mongolian for the sample translations that confirm the content of the section you have deleted. Gantuya eng (talk) 08:17, 25 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Bible translations by language

You seem to have wriiten most of the section about Bible translations into Mongolian. One sentence struck me as potentially odd, it reads "Proper nouns are also often spelled completely differently (for example, the Translation Committee uses Иохан and Марк, and the Gibbens use Иоган and Маарх)". Am I right to suspect that Иохан and Марк are names, not just ordinary nouns? Yaan (talk) 10:22, 27 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
