Sj

I corrected an edit you made to voiceless bilabial fricative. The Swedish voiceless palatal-velar fricative does indeed have a wide variety of allophones, a lot of which are labial or even labiodental, but most of them are coarticulated sounds. None of them are, as far as I know, a proper bilabial fricative.

Och välkommen till Wikipedia, förresten. :-) Jag är inofficiell vakthund för allt som är relaterat svenska vad gäller lingvistik.

The Greek letters

Inconsistency with Greek letters

The pages of the Greek letters do not follow the same standard. For example, Alpha is a disambiguation page and Alpha (letter) is the page on the Greek letter. On the other hand, Theta is on the Greek letter and Theta (disambiguation) is its disambiguation page. Some pages still, such as Beta, have both the letter and the disambiguation awkwardly pushed together on the same page.

To make things even worse, typing the Greek letters into the search box (i.e. pages Α, Β, Γ, Δ, etc...) do not redirect to the same thing. Most of them will take you to the letter page, but Β, Δ and Ρ will take you to the disambiguation page. Even worse, Π will take you to Pi, which is on the mathematical constant!

I propose the following:

The pages Alpha, Beta, Gamma, etc, should be Disambiguation pages.
The article on the Greek letters should be in Alpha (letter), Beta (letter), etc...
The mathematical constant π should be moved to Pi (mathematics), since Pi will be a disambiguation page.
The pages Α, Β, Γ, Δ, etc, should Redirect to Alpha (letter), Beta (letter), etc...

Please leave your comments on this.

Paraguay flag

Ok, I've changed the flag. Thanks for the notice. Bruno18 14:16, 20 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The colors are fine. Some Paraguayan flags seem to have a darker blue and some a lighter blue in the bottom, but it's not a big deal in this case (it's not like there is one 'official blue color' for the flag) :) . Bruno18 14:57, 20 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
