Khosrau/Chosroes?
[edit]

Hi there -- I notice that on several pages you've changed the name of a Persian ruler from "Khosrau" to "Chosroes". Can I ask why? I'm not an expert in Persian names or anything, but I do know that Chosroes is a Graecified form, and perhaps not necessarily a fully accurate rendering. Moreover, the actual Wikipedia page on this fellow calls him Khosrau, so it seems to me logical to use that form. Is there a pressing reason for the change? --Jfruh 02:43, 18 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Pietia -- Indeed, Norwich is an excellent Byzantinist -- but this king is a Persian, not a Byzantine, figure ... I think Khosrau is closer to the Persian pronunciation. --Jfruh 15:58, 18 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Futu
[edit]

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Futu, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, group, product, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator.
