Changes to Latin tenses

Dear Daniel, Nothing prevents you from making your own articles according to the ideas of functional grammar if you wish (it will be interesting to see the results), but please do not alter the article Latin tenses from its present form or break it up into different parts, as you seem to be planning to do. In my view it is perfectly all right as it is. It has been judged by the moderators to be grade B standard, which is good. The changes you are proposing to make would not improve the article. For example, your introduction of categories such as "secondary present" and "secondary past" is an innovation of your own which doesn't come from any standard Latin grammar and so is certain to be reverted. The works you cite (by Halliday etc.) do not deal with Latin grammar, so the application of those ideas to Latin counts as personal research or a personal essay, and so by Wikipedia policy should be published elsewhere, not on Wikipedia. Statements such as "Traditional grammar books refer to the primary meaning of the 'future perfect' and 'pluperfect' without ascribing a proper name to these meanings" are purely your own judgement, I believe. Since terms like "pluperfect" seem acceptable to linguists such as Bernard Comrie in his book Tense, in whose judgement are they not "proper"? At any rate, if you attempt to alter the current Latin tenses article by adding non-standard views, I am sure your alterations will be quickly reverted.

I published the page as "Latin tenses (semantics)".

I will link the pages to each other. Daniel Couto Vale (talk) 13:59, 30 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Latin tenses in commands

The article Latin tenses in commands has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Most of this article is copied directly from the article Latin tenses. Statements such as "Commands have no primary tense" are controversial and unreferenced. Categories such as "present in future", "past in future", "Imperative III" etc. appear to be inventions by the author and not referenced to any grammar book or other source. The article is not needed since most of the material has already been published elsewhere on Wikipedia.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

This bot DID NOT nominate any of your contributions for deletion; please refer to the history of each individual page for details. Thanks, FastilyBot (talk) 10:00, 19 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
