I see you have reverted my additions to the article. Your argument is fair enough, however it fails in three major points. First, the same issue exists for USA and Canada, there are multiple cities from both countries, even multiple cities from the same State/Region. Second, the percentage of Dfb climate is the same in the United States. 3) Turkey is an ideal place to study the transitions of climates, this is why authors have chosen to display multiple cities from Turkey for other continental types such as hot and warm dry summer continental climates. In order to counter balance that, presenting multiple cities would be a sound argument, just like how Miami, West Palm Beach and Naples comparison is used from South Florida. Thinking tropical climate cover only 1% of the country, then in your logic we should delete them as well. Berkserker ( talk) 16:25, 5 June 2016 (UTC)
Like I said, even though I disagree with putting many Dfc examples from Canada, I am not going to attempt to change it. You may have seen something I don't, therefore I am going to respect it. I will contest ideas only when they are inaccurate, such as the Tbilisi case. Also please note that I never said Anatolia is the only climatically diverse region in the world, indeed there are other regions. If my argument was about showing the diversity of climates in Anatolia, I would have debated to put "many examples" from all climates types from Anatolia. You can find almost any climate in Anatolia, with the exception of tropical and arid climates. However, I am opposed to the idea that a general article should aim to portray all these differences, and this was why I took the initiative to eliminate the multiple Med. climate examples from Turkey. This is the aim of country specific articles. However, the situation here is different. The situation in Anatolia and the Caucasus is climate defining for humid continental climates, just like South Florida is for transition between subtropical and 3 tropical climates. Out of all the vast tropical regions in the world, an example each has been given, which are almost from the same spot, a huge ratio compared to the entire globe for these climate types, even though they aren't endemic to the region. In fact the densest cluster in the article. However it is climate defining, therefore I strongly support the South Florida case and the purpose of this article is to define climates and show their differences, rather than showing which country has a greater climate extent. This is why in any climatology textbook, you will find clusters from around the world showing these differences. Because climate is all about the data, it has nothing to do with distances. Two places on the same seamless climate range can be 3000 miles apart, having very similar precipitation and mean temp, while a certain locale may have 10 times the difference within 5 miles. For example San Francisco Bay Area is a great example for this. If my aim was to portray many examples for the wet summer continental climates from the same country, then I would propose putting an example 600 miles away from Northeastern Anatolia (Kastamonu), which would fit your bill. However I think putting Kastamonu would be redundant and not climate defining, because the climate defining region is the Caucasus not Turkey. You need to look at the Caucasus region without manmade borders. Hence, you putting Armenia and Georgia (even though the climate was incorrect) examples is helping this cause greatly. I think if you want the article to improve, first you need to change the category of your own addition (Tbilisi), as it is the only city with an inaccurate categorisation in the article. But you are quicker at changing my reasoned and accurate edits instead. I waited so you could proceed with your own changes after the warning, again due to the same reason (respect), but I see you haven't changed it yet, it has already been there for so long, and I am going to change it now, along with the continental examples from Anatolia. I am expecting the same respect I am showing you, therefore please do not revert my edit a third time. After we are done with defining humid continental climates, you are very welcome to debate over other climates and examples, as I would be glad to collaborate.

Yeah, I kind of wish C was split in two: perhaps one category with coldest month between 0 and 10 C, the other between 10 and 18 C. In theory, coldest month above 10 C allows tree growth through the winter, while below 10 C does not, just as having the warmest month above 10 C allows some woody plant growth in the Arctic and Antarctic regions and alpine zones. I'm not sure where this isotherm would cut across the US. I don't remember where to find a map of the average temperature of the coldest month... — Eru· tuon 08:29, 13 June 2016 (UTC)

My understanding is that the category hierarchy should be strict, and since the United States is not entirely within North America as the latter is defined in the WGSRPD, Category:Flora of the United States can't be a subcategory of Category:Flora of North America. However, this doesn't seem entirely satisfactory. I've wondered about introducing a category for the "continental United States" which would be a subcategory of North America and of the United States. But this may be too complicated to keep maintained, as editors may not understand it. I'd be interesting to know what you think. Peter coxhead ( talk) 21:30, 31 August 2016 (UTC)
Greetings! Can you help adding a quotations for the following sentence at Acer saccharum:
The flowers are in panicles of five to 10 together, yellow-green and without petals; flowering occurs in early spring after 30–55 growing degree days. The sugar maple will generally begin flowering when it is between 10 and 15 years old. The fruit is a pair of samaras (winged seeds). The seeds are globose, 7–10 mm (9⁄32–13⁄32 in) in diameter, the wing 2–3 cm (3⁄4–1 1⁄4 in) long. The seeds fall from the tree in autumn, where they must be exposed to 90 days of temperatures below −18 °C (0 °F) to break their coating down. Germination of A. saccharum is slow, not taking place until the following spring when the soil has warmed and all frost danger is past.

Hi, I'm puzzled by your edits related to Basswood. I see you have an interest in editing this area, while I'm just here because your edits are triggering errors that I patrol for. In this case, the hatnote on top of the Tilia article is telling a lie because it says that "Basswood" redirects here. I patrol for dishonest hatnotes. It seems to me that it should redirect there because the lead of that article tells me that basswood is another name for, or the common name for, Tilia. Now the Tilia americana article, which you redirected Basswood to, tells me that the common name for that is American basswood (maybe it should be basswood American), i.e., Tilia == basswood and americana == American. Seems clear to me. Also, you have added partial title matches to Basswood (disambiguation). You're misleading us to believe that there are just two species of Tilia. What about everything else at Tilia § Species? Aren't those basswoods too, or is there another name for them? Noting the section just above this one, I was coincidentally thinking of Maples too, as in, by your logic, why doesn't Maple redirect to Acer saccharum because most people, when they hear "Maple", think of Sugar Maples, you know, the trees that make the syrup. Why aren't those the primary topic for Maple? wbm1058 ( talk) 22:31, 6 September 2016 (UTC)
That's what I wrote before your reply. I'm actually more familiar with lindens than basswoods. Knew a lot more about trees when I was a boy scout, many many years ago. Most I've forgotten, unfortunately. wbm1058 ( talk) 22:54, 6 September 2016 (UTC)
I see the Linden dab clarifies things, and has been stable in that configuration for a while now. So you can follow that model. Also, please do include the red-linked species, and follow that with a blue link back to the Tilia article. I think moving Basswood (disambiguation) → Basswood may be the way to go, consistent with Linden. It's a pretty radical move to change the primary topic for Basswood from Tilia to a specific species, I think it's better to force a disambiguation.

Thank you for leaving an explanation on why you reverted these edits. Rather than get into an edit war, I'd like to discuss this. This is Wikipedia, not the NOAA. Wikipedia has evolved into a starting research point for many users. This includes a diverse group such as climatologists, college students, primary school students etc. Most people reading the chart basically want to know the average high and lows of a location during a given month, then perhaps the average precipitation for specific month and/or year. This additional information unnecessarily muddies this. Climate tables should be clear and concise. If I have to look at a climate table for Miami for more than 2 minutes to make sense of the table (which I did), something is wrong. I'm sorry, but detailing average record highs and lows for each month serves a marginal purpose. Plant hardiness zones can be indicated in the text above the chart if it's necessary. I would love to have Wikipedians discuss and vote on these specific aspects of the template...which by the way is a very useful template to have. G. Capo ( talk) 02:40, 14 September 2016 (UTC)
Hi, Erutuon! Thanks for commenting at Template talk:Lang. I noticed your user page note about "a general article on Ancient Greek and Latin poetry and its meter". I may be interested in collaborating on such a project, if you'll have me (I would not lead, but can contribute). My credentials are not great: I took a couple years of Latin, but that was a long time ago, and I'm now functionally illiterate (well, in Latin). But I have a lot of reading, and some writing, about metrics and versification under my belt. At the moment, I'm in a loose collaboration with Anagram16 on replacing the quite inadequate Alexandrine with a suite of articles with a genus/species relationship:
I think this suggests some of the hierarchical (summary/detail) structure you're looking for. I gotta finish this before taking on another project, and I'm a little lazy, but it'll happen.
I haven't done a lot of quantitative work on Wikipedia, but I did write a robust (and wasted) proposal for Wikidata ( User:Phil wink/Quantitative scansion code) which might serve as a typographic quarry. Let me know if you're interested. Cheers. Phil wink ( talk) 23:50, 14 September 2016 (UTC)
Hi, I see that you have been improving some of the bird articles, which is very welcome. I'm unsure, though, of your reasoning that genus etymologies should not be on species' pages
If you can point me to where the decision you are working to was made, I can see if I think it's valid. If so, I can stop wasting my time (still around 200 etymologies I was intending to do) and find something else to work on, or stick to non-US species I've no intention of edit-warring on this, but I'd like clarification for obvious reasons
Incidentally, I like the transliteration script you use, I'll have to look at that

around the Greek etymon of the genus name, as well as an acute accent on the first vowel (just added that with AWB). There are likely other little errors or omissions in etymologies around Wikipedia, and it is hard to clean them all up when the etymologies are repeated on several different pages. Having the etymology only once would be simpler.Hello ! You just reverted my edit on Germanic umlaut, saying that the pronunciation of “foot” was /fUt/, and not /fu:t/.

I notice you added Module:Language, via {{ Wikt-lang}}, to List of Greek and Latin roots in English. Unfortunately it seems to have serious performance problems: the CPU time for the page has gone from about 2 seconds to about 20, a ten-fold jump. I only noticed it as it added the page to Category:Pages with script errors because the scripts were timing out. A purge fixed that but it will occur again. The template does not seem to be doing anything different to what was there before, it’s only doing it far more inefficiently. I don’t know if it can be fixed in the module, otherwise I would suggest backing out the changes, which have done nothing except make the page much slower to load.-- JohnBlackburne words deeds 13:45, 10 October 2016 (UTC)

Hi, I see you've recently touched Germanic strong verb and seem to speak template, so perhaps you can answer me something. The recent edits to the inventory section have left the page in an untenable state: no-one is going to update the links present on the page when the set of verbs that has a reconstruction on Wiktionary changes, and so the two are inevitably going to drift out of synch. But seven paragraphs of redlinks would be distracting. What seems best is a template which renders as a link to Wiktionary of the requisite sort if its target is present, and simple black text otherwise.

Hello, Erutuon -- Having just read the notice at the top of your interesting user page, I have no wish to add any stress to your life, so feel free to ignore this or delay responding. I was just looking at your recent to Shah, and I was puzzled why you changed Shahanshah to the version with the s-caron in the Shah#History section. I realize that the short version (Shah) that appears just before "Shahanshah" should be consistent with the longer version, and they were not consistent before your edit, but to most English speakers, the version with the s-caron makes little sense. I can understand using the version with s-caron at the beginning of the article, but after that, I think the version with "sh" should be used for comprehensibility, in both the short and the long version of the title, except, perhaps, in a specific discussion about the etymology. – Corinne ( talk) 03:57, 23 December 2016 (UTC)

Ranks which don't have and aren't likely to have articles and aren't discussed in the text aren't of any use to readers. Peter coxhead ( talk) 05:48, 6 August 2016 (UTC)

My understanding is that the category hierarchy should be strict, and since the United States is not entirely within North America as the latter is defined in the WGSRPD, Category:Flora of the United States can't be a subcategory of Category:Flora of North America. However, this doesn't seem entirely satisfactory. I've wondered about introducing a category for the "continental United States" which would be a subcategory of North America and of the United States. But this may be too complicated to keep maintained, as editors may not understand it. I'd be interesting to know what you think. Peter coxhead ( talk) 21:30, 31 August 2016 (UTC)
Greetings! Can you help adding a quotations for the following sentence at Acer saccharum:
The flowers are in panicles of five to 10 together, yellow-green and without petals; flowering occurs in early spring after 30–55 growing degree days. The sugar maple will generally begin flowering when it is between 10 and 15 years old. The fruit is a pair of samaras (winged seeds). The seeds are globose, 7–10 mm (9⁄32–13⁄32 in) in diameter, the wing 2–3 cm (3⁄4–1 1⁄4 in) long. The seeds fall from the tree in autumn, where they must be exposed to 90 days of temperatures below −18 °C (0 °F) to break their coating down. Germination of A. saccharum is slow, not taking place until the following spring when the soil has warmed and all frost danger is past.

Hi, I'm puzzled by your edits related to Basswood. I see you have an interest in editing this area, while I'm just here because your edits are triggering errors that I patrol for. In this case, the hatnote on top of the Tilia article is telling a lie because it says that "Basswood" redirects here. I patrol for dishonest hatnotes. It seems to me that it should redirect there because the lead of that article tells me that basswood is another name for, or the common name for, Tilia. Now the Tilia americana article, which you redirected Basswood to, tells me that the common name for that is American basswood (maybe it should be basswood American), i.e., Tilia == basswood and americana == American. Seems clear to me. Also, you have added partial title matches to Basswood (disambiguation). You're misleading us to believe that there are just two species of Tilia. What about everything else at Tilia § Species? Aren't those basswoods too, or is there another name for them? Noting the section just above this one, I was coincidentally thinking of Maples too, as in, by your logic, why doesn't Maple redirect to Acer saccharum because most people, when they hear "Maple", think of Sugar Maples, you know, the trees that make the syrup. Why aren't those the primary topic for Maple? wbm1058 ( talk) 22:31, 6 September 2016 (UTC)
That's what I wrote before your reply. I'm actually more familiar with lindens than basswoods. Knew a lot more about trees when I was a boy scout, many many years ago. Most I've forgotten, unfortunately. wbm1058 ( talk) 22:54, 6 September 2016 (UTC)
I see the Linden dab clarifies things, and has been stable in that configuration for a while now. So you can follow that model. Also, please do include the red-linked species, and follow that with a blue link back to the Tilia article. I think moving Basswood (disambiguation) → Basswood may be the way to go, consistent with Linden. It's a pretty radical move to change the primary topic for Basswood from Tilia to a specific species, I think it's better to force a disambiguation. Thanks, wbm1058 ( talk) 23:10, 6 September 2016 (UTC)

Thank you for leaving an explanation on why you reverted these edits. Rather than get into an edit war, I'd like to discuss this. This is Wikipedia, not the NOAA. Wikipedia has evolved into a starting research point for many users. This includes a diverse group such as climatologists, college students, primary school students etc. Most people reading the chart basically want to know the average high and lows of a location during a given month, then perhaps the average precipitation for specific month and/or year. This additional information unnecessarily muddies this. Climate tables should be clear and concise. If I have to look at a climate table for Miami for more than 2 minutes to make sense of the table (which I did), something is wrong. I'm sorry, but detailing average record highs and lows for each month serves a marginal purpose. Plant hardiness zones can be indicated in the text above the chart if it's necessary. I would love to have Wikipedians discuss and vote on these specific aspects of the template...which by the way is a very useful template to have. G. Capo ( talk) 02:40, 14 September 2016 (UTC)
Hi, Erutuon! Thanks for commenting at Template talk:Lang. I noticed your user page note about "a general article on Ancient Greek and Latin poetry and its meter". I may be interested in collaborating on such a project, if you'll have me (I would not lead, but can contribute). My credentials are not great: I took a couple years of Latin, but that was a long time ago, and I'm now functionally illiterate (well, in Latin). But I have a lot of reading, and some writing, about metrics and versification under my belt. At the moment, I'm in a loose collaboration with Anagram16 on replacing the quite inadequate Alexandrine with a suite of articles with a genus/species relationship:
I think this suggests some of the hierarchical (summary/detail) structure you're looking for. I gotta finish this before taking on another project, and I'm a little lazy, but it'll happen.
I haven't done a lot of quantitative work on Wikipedia, but I did write a robust (and wasted) proposal for Wikidata ( User:Phil wink/Quantitative scansion code) which might serve as a typographic quarry. Let me know if you're interested. Cheers. Phil wink ( talk) 23:50, 14 September 2016 (UTC)
Hi, I see that you have been improving some of the bird articles, which is very welcome. I'm unsure, though, of your reasoning that genus etymologies should not be on species' pages
If you can point me to where the decision you are working to was made, I can see if I think it's valid. If so, I can stop wasting my time (still around 200 etymologies I was intending to do) and find something else to work on, or stick to non-US species I've no intention of edit-warring on this, but I'd like clarification for obvious reasons
Incidentally, I like the transliteration script you use, I'll have to look at that

around the Greek etymon of the genus name, as well as an acute accent on the first vowel (just added that with AWB). There are likely other little errors or omissions in etymologies around Wikipedia, and it is hard to clean them all up when the etymologies are repeated on several different pages. Having the etymology only once would be simpler.Hello ! You just reverted my edit on Germanic umlaut, saying that the pronunciation of “foot” was /fUt/, and not /fu:t/. Cambridge pronunciaton guide seems ok with it (dictionary.cambridge.org/pronunciation/english/foot) and wikitionnary also. However, I ALWAYS said it /fu:t/ So, how to know when <oo> is said /U/ or /u:/ ? — Preceding unsigned comment added by BeKowz ( talk • contribs) 17:09, 3 October 2016 (UTC)
I don't know what the official position is, but I cated Language-related modules by analogy with Category:Hatnote modules which is cated in Hatnote templates. I can see the logic - a template is just our name for a chunk of code, which a module is as well. But - whatever, I just care that it's off the list of categories without categories...

Looking at Category:Pages with script errors there are a couple of your recent changes that have popped up there. Template:EFloras is now broken in Dicentra canadensis, Primula parryi and Rhododendron minus var. minus, while Template:Average temperature table/color is broken in Climate of California. Washington (state) and was broken in Climate of Spain (I reverted the change in the article there). There may be others; there is sometimes a lag before articles appear in the category.-- JohnBlackburne words deeds 08:37, 5 October 2016 (UTC)

Thanks for your work creating modules. As I was looking at them, I notice a few issues regarding coding standards:
require('Module:No globals')
, you'll get an error anywhere that you accidentally do this.foo('<span class="someClass">')
and foo("can't find it")
rather than foo("<span class=\"someClass\">")
and foo('can\'t find it')

I notice you added Module:Language, via {{ Wikt-lang}}, to List of Greek and Latin roots in English. Unfortunately it seems to have serious performance problems: the CPU time for the page has gone from about 2 seconds to about 20, a ten-fold jump. I only noticed it as it added the page to Category:Pages with script errors because the scripts were timing out. A purge fixed that but it will occur again. The template does not seem to be doing anything different to what was there before, it’s only doing it far more inefficiently. I don’t know if it can be fixed in the module, otherwise I would suggest backing out the changes, which have done nothing except make the page much slower to load.-- JohnBlackburne words deeds 13:45, 10 October 2016 (UTC)

Hi, I see you've recently touched Germanic strong verb and seem to speak template, so perhaps you can answer me something. The recent edits to the inventory section have left the page in an untenable state: no-one is going to update the links present on the page when the set of verbs that has a reconstruction on Wiktionary changes, and so the two are inevitably going to drift out of synch. But seven paragraphs of redlinks would be distracting. What seems best is a template which renders as a link to Wiktionary of the requisite sort if its target is present, and simple black text otherwise. What, if you know, would be the best way to achieve that? Thanks. 4pq1injbok ( talk) 03:57, 30 November 2016 (UTC)
Hello, Erutuon -- Having just read the notice at the top of your interesting user page, I have no wish to add any stress to your life, so feel free to ignore this or delay responding. I was just looking at your recent to Shah, and I was puzzled why you changed Shahanshah to the version with the s-caron in the Shah#History section. I realize that the short version (Shah) that appears just before "Shahanshah" should be consistent with the longer version, and they were not consistent before your edit, but to most English speakers, the version with the s-caron makes little sense. I can understand using the version with s-caron at the beginning of the article, but after that, I think the version with "sh" should be used for comprehensibility, in both the short and the long version of the title, except, perhaps, in a specific discussion about the etymology. – Corinne ( talk) 03:57, 23 December 2016 (UTC)
Hello, sir. I have read your user page to see you have done some work on the page Latin spelling and pronunciation. I have a question with a line on the page. Currently, under the section "Table of Orthography," in the table "Pronunciation of Latin Vowels," the English approximation to the Latin short a is "similar to u in cut when short." However, the "Latin phone" and audio say that the phoneme is [a], which is similar to the "a in cat." Was "u in cut" a typo? I am only confused. Thank you.
