Fri(e)sian

I don't see what's wrong with Frisian redirecting to Friesian. The last page lists everything you linked to from Frisian, plus more, and is in the proper style of a disambiguation page. It is true that the language and people are more commonly called Frisian, but isn't it better to have it all on one page, since after all, the language and people are at Frisian language and Frisians?

P.S.: Personal attacks, such as the message you left on my talk page, are seriously frowned upon on Wikipedia.

"Friesian" is the preferred spelling for certain animals and philosophers, Frisian is the spelling for ANYTHING ELSE. By deleting everything under Frisian you started with a personal attack, you do not refer a word for a human being to the word for their lifestock.

My article was not intended to be a disambiguation article at all, it is intended to be about the spelling of Frisian, which is the basic spelling, Friesian is the deviant form. So if you want to have it on one Page that one should be titled Frisian. That you consider the question "What the fuck is wrong with you?" as a personal attack, just shows that there is something wrong with you. You deleted a small article without giving any explanation why, that is showing that there is something wrong with you. By linking Frisian to Friesian, you suggested that that is the correct spelling (Linking United States of America to BLOODY STUPID YANKEES) gives an idea about how that feels, Mr. No personal attacks. Of course, I see what's wrong with you, you don't know how "Frisian" should be spelled.
