Edit request on 5 August 2013[edit]

I would like to see the birth of Ivar Aasen on the main page. He created one of Norway's official languages, Nynorsk; this is his 200 years anniversary. His centenial is the inspiration for the official 2013 Language year in Norway. Suggested . 1813. Linguist Ivar Aasen who created the Nynorsk language was born.

Not done: Sorry, it looks like we were too late for this one. For next time, it's probably best to make the request a few days before so that the admins who regularly deal with this section of the main page notice it. If it's more than two days before the page is displayed on the main page, you should be able to edit it yourself as well. Best — Mr. Stradivarius ♪ talk ♪ 06:01, 6 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
