I tried many times to edit a very helpful template for linguistic articles, but template code is a little difficult for me, I can’t get it.
I just need {{proto|ISO 639 code or full name|word|meaning}}, it looks like {{ lang}} and {{ etymology}} templates.
For example {{proto|sla|dva|two}} should make Proto-Slavic * dva 'two'. Explanation:
I will sincerely appreciate everybody who would help me to edit this template and to make the similar one in the Russian Wikipedia.
{{proto|sla|dva|two}}
will now appear as you wanted it:
Proto-Slavic *dva 'two', variable one will control both the description, and the language appendix at wiktionary that gets linked, and variable two chooses the page in the appendix. I think that is what you wanted, but it does not check to see if the wiktionary article exists, so for instance
Proto-Slavic *monty 'monty' will link to a blank wiktionary page. I don't know if there is a way to check if a wiktionary page exists.

Hello! You often make important contributions to the topics related to Russian language. That's why I believe you might be interested in joining WikiProject Russia and some of the project's task forces. In particular, I suggest you to sign up for the Language and literature of Russia, Demographics and ethnography of Russia and History of Russia. The full list of task forces may be found on the main page of WikiProject Russia, top right corner, or in the Template:WikiProject Russia/Navbox.
Also, here is an invitation for you to give an interview for the Signpost newspaper:

Concerning the series of reverts and semi-reverts between us at Proto-Slavic:
"Of particular interest here is the new high central unrounded vowel *y, derived from *ū. This vowel resulted from a chain shift affecting Late Common Slavic whereby the diphthongs *ou and *eu shifted to *u, while former *ū shifted to *y... [Given a shift of *ou to *u,] Common Slavic faced two logical possibilities. First, former *u could remain unchanged, so that the shift would lead to a neutralization of the contrast between *u and former *ou... Alternatively, contrast could be preserved by shifting former *u to a new place, as in (36b). In Common Slavic, it was the latter that occurred..." (p. 71)
Hey. I responded to your comments here-- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Reference_desk/Humanities#Jewish_Population_in_Russia_Proper_in_1914. Please respond whenever you can. Also, I have a question--do you know of any sources which state the Jewish population for each SSR (Soviet Socialist Republic) in 1945, 1949, 1950, or some other time in the late 1940s? There was no Soviet census for 20 years between 1939 and 1959, so I'm wondering what the Soviet Jewish population looked like right after World War II. Thank you very much.

Привет, Любослов. I've reverted your change to 'name' from 'term'. I have no particular interest in which is used but, in its context, 'term' is the correct term (pardon the pun). The expression in English is, "The term was coined...", not "The name was coined...". Hope you don't mind. Cheers! EDIT: Scratch that.

I have a story you might enjoy. My grandmother, who was Rusyn (born in what is now Закарпатская область) used to cook at the Church hall on Saturdays with women from the homeland. They all spoke Rusyn, but there are differnt dialects, and some words differ in placement of stress. The word for pepper is пóпер in her dialect, but her best friend, Anna, accented that word on the final vowel, not the o. One day Anna was cooking soup, and wanted the pepper, which another lady who had already gone home had been using. She couldn't find where the other woman had put it. So, in her accent, instead of asking everyone, "Где пóпер дела?" she asked them, "Где попéр дела?" That was 30 years ago, and I still laugh every time I hear it. μηδείς ( talk) 00:45, 27 October 2013 (UTC)

Hello. I think you should've made a talk page discussion regarding this blanketing. "May belong" is not really a proper argument to remove that much info, I believe. You basically now rendered the article without any proper usage, even if there were numerous unsourced things. Especially if you're not sure about something (I got that impression from your edit summary), its better not to remove such amounts of info. I might be wrong and perhaps your edit was totally justified and planned, but anyway it never hurts having some extra communication regarding such stuff.

More idiomatic in English than The Hypothesis of Gamkrelidze-Ivanov would be The Gamkrelidze-Ivanov Hypothesis (cf. in mathematics The Riemann Conjecture, etc.). Also, be aware of two points you'll have to have good arguments for: (1) There might not have been an easy common name in widespread use for that hypothesis before 2006 that everyone referred to. In which case people may argue that The Gamrkelidze-Ivanov Hypothesis is also made up terminology. They may have a point, but the answer to this is that it is a lot more neutral than The Armenian Hypothesis. Insofar as WP needs a title for every article, it is acceptable that it, in some sense, makes up a label, if there is not one in common use, if only to name the article, but if it does, it should be the most neutral one possible. In such cases there would have to be a paragraph in the article explaining the history of the terminology and the choice made by WP editors. (2) Some people may object that others than G & I have since developed the theory and it can no longer be fairly attributed to G & I alone. I don't have an easy answer for that for the moment (I'll think about it and look for analogous cases) but I encourage you to think about this issue. Cheers. Basemetal 15:10, 5 July 2018 (UTC)
HI Любослов,
I was just looking at the page on American and British English spelling differences and saw your colour coded map there: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Defence_Defense_Labour_Labor_British_American_spelling_by_country.svg.
I'd like to suggest an edit, please - you have Australia coloured red and cited as having English as an official language. While you are correct about the dominance of 'defence/labour/organise', the truth is that Australia has no official language. This map needs updating to reflect that English is a de facto national language only. More information/clarification is available on the Languages of Australia page.
I would do it, but I don't have the first clue as to how, so hoping you can do this..? Lucd13 ☭ ( talk) 11:22, 22 August 2018 (UTC)

Dear Luboslov Yezykin. I found an old Help Desk question of yours from the 9 June 2017 called "Cite errors again (refs within efn)" where you asked about refs inside efns defined in a list within Notelist. John of Reading tried to help you. I think I have run into exactly the same problem as you did. I tried to define several explanatory footnotes in a list under "Notelist|refs=" in several articles that I edited. Cite errors are thrown for each ref in the last of the explanatory notes in the list when the list contains more than one efn. However, everything seems to work fine. The included refs are linked correctly and can be read by the readers. These bothersome Cite errors seem to be superfluous. See e.g. Antoine Hamilton or Frances Talbot, Countess of Tyrconnell or George Hamilton (French soldier). Did you get any further with this? What do you think I should do? With many thanks!

Thank you for helping me understand when to use italics, e.g., for 'words as words'; the most common way to write the sentence in question; and glossy formatting. ;^] - Referring to your response to my 27-Apr-2017 query on WP:RD/L. - Mark D Worthen PsyD (talk) 04:19, 29 April 2017 (UTC) |

Hello, I notice you are interested in linguistics and Romanisation like myself. What do you think of Romanising names already written in the Latin script to make them easier to pronounce in English? An example would be Zimmer to Tzimmer/Tsimmer. Rovingrobert ( talk) 11:03, 29 June 2017 (UTC)

Hi! I support your recent edits for the most part, but I would prefer we stayed with micrometers instead of millimeters. You have removed several entries from the overview table, the recent redefinitions/approximations of the Didot point included. Why did you do that? — Christoph Päper 12:05, 28 February 2018 (UTC)

For improving this algorithm we need the help of multilingual Wikipedia editors to provide true statements to the algorithm. You are contacted because based on your Babel template and/or content translation tool usage you know at least two of the following languages: ar (Arabic), fr (French), ja (Japanese), en (English), es (Spanish), ru (Russian).
(Note: by clicking the links in the following paragraph, you will be taken to Google spreadsheet.) If you'd like to help us with translating a subset of the section titles on or before 2018-05-01, please read and follow the instructions. If you see instructions in another language, please scroll down to find your preferred language. If you have questions about this message, you can contact us via Diego. Thank you! :) -- MediaWiki message delivery ( talk) 18:01, 17 April 2018 (UTC)
More idiomatic in English than The Hypothesis of Gamkrelidze-Ivanov would be The Gamkrelidze-Ivanov Hypothesis (cf. in mathematics The Riemann Conjecture, etc.). Also, be aware of two points you'll have to have good arguments for: (1) There might not have been an easy common name in widespread use for that hypothesis before 2006 that everyone referred to. In which case people may argue that The Gamrkelidze-Ivanov Hypothesis is also made up terminology. They may have a point, but the answer to this is that it is a lot more neutral than The Armenian Hypothesis. Insofar as WP needs a title for every article, it is acceptable that it, in some sense, makes up a label, if there is not one in common use, if only to name the article, but if it does, it should be the most neutral one possible. In such cases there would have to be a paragraph in the article explaining the history of the terminology and the choice made by WP editors. (2) Some people may object that others than G & I have since developed the theory and it can no longer be fairly attributed to G & I alone. I don't have an easy answer for that for the moment (I'll think about it and look for analogous cases) but I encourage you to think about this issue. Cheers. Basemetal 15:10, 5 July 2018 (UTC)
HI Любослов,
I was just looking at the page on American and British English spelling differences and saw your colour coded map there: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Defence_Defense_Labour_Labor_British_American_spelling_by_country.svg.
I'd like to suggest an edit, please - you have Australia coloured red and cited as having English as an official language. While you are correct about the dominance of 'defence/labour/organise', the truth is that Australia has no official language. This map needs updating to reflect that English is a de facto national language only. More information/clarification is available on the Languages of Australia page.
I would do it, but I don't have the first clue as to how, so hoping you can do this..? Lucd13 ☭ ( talk) 11:22, 22 August 2018 (UTC)

Dear Luboslov Yezykin. I found an old Help Desk question of yours from the 9 June 2017 called "Cite errors again (refs within efn)" where you asked about refs inside efns defined in a list within Notelist. John of Reading tried to help you. I think I have run into exactly the same problem as you did. I tried to define several explanatory footnotes in a list under "Notelist|refs=" in several articles that I edited. Cite errors are thrown for each ref in the last of the explanatory notes in the list when the list contains more than one efn. However, everything seems to work fine. The included refs are linked correctly and can be read by the readers. These bothersome Cite errors seem to be superfluous. See e.g. Antoine Hamilton or Frances Talbot, Countess of Tyrconnell or George Hamilton (French soldier). Did you get any further with this? What do you think I should do? With many thanks!
