translation merge
editShould the translations at Selenite be merged into this page? Lunarian, Selenite, and Mooninite are identically synonymous in English, they are just from different language roots. Nicole Sharp (talk) 03:21, 14 October 2015 (UTC)
Arabic translation
edit- The Arabic translation provided is listed as an adjective meaning "lunar," not a noun inhabitant of Luna. Is this an incorrect translation? Nicole Sharp (talk) 03:52, 14 October 2015 (UTC)
- @Nicole Sharp. Are you going to question each language you don't speak? :) Yes, it's correct. It's a noun derived from an adjective, like most ethnicities are - English, Russian, etc. Russian translations need to be split as SoP's with proper grammar, will do it later. --Anatoli T.

- Thank you for the clarification. The page for the Arabic entry doesn't have a nominal sense listed and I was concerned it may have been a translation of Lunar instead of Lunarian, though the distinction between the two words probably does not exist in every language.
