Regarding revert of deletion of information regarding Judeo-Spanish branch

[edit]

@Koavf: I see that you reverted my deletion. I disagree with your reasons for the revert. If the cited article is analyzed the reader can realize that the Judeo-Spanish branch is not yet a member of the ASALE. According to the Guardian article itself, the Spanish Royal Academy "has announced plans to create a Judeo-Spanish branch in Israel that will sit alongside the 23 existing academies" and "nine Ladino specialists had so far been appointed to help pave the way for the new institution, which will form part of the Association of Spanish Language Academies". Notice that it uses the future tense, neither the present nor the past tense. The branch "will sit" and "will form part of". Nowhere in the Guardian article says that the branch is already a member of ASALE, in whose website there is no mention of that academy. In addition, I also searched for news regarding the Judeo-Spanish branch in the Royal Spanish Academy and the ASALE websites and I only found one news article from 2015 [1] that talks about a future ladino academy not an already existing one.

@Thinker78: Then rather than delete, we can just provide some context. Surely that's better for readers. ―Justin (koavf)TCM 07:32, 2 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
koavf I don't consider that the National Academy of Judaeo-Spanish convened in 2015 if by 2018 it hadn't even been created yet. Consider revising that info. Thinker78 (talk) 10:15, 14 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Thinker78: Thanks for that. What say you now? ―Justin (koavf)TCM 17:06, 14 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not sure what branch are you referring to. You wrote in the article, "lead to the creation of the Israeli branch", but the source you cited says, and I quote, The Spanish Royal Academy (RAE) has announced plans to create a Judeo-Spanish branch in Israel. In addition, it is unclear if it can be said that it has been founded if it hasn't been created yet. Thinker78 (talk) 18:15, 14 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry, but I think that the ASALE source[2] clearly states that it is not created yet. It says, and I quote, "el director de la Real Academia Española (RAE)(...) ha anunciado hoy en rueda de prensa la futura creación de una academia del judeoespañol ("the director of the Royal Spanish Academy (RAE)(...) has announced today in a press conference the future creation of an academy of Judeo-Spanish").

@Thinker78: No, you are correct. I think the wording I have now is accurate. Thanks for working thru this with me. ―Justin (koavf)TCM 21:55, 14 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
