Hello. Thanks for this edit. I had, prior to my edit, read MOS:WORDSASWORDS and determined that in this case, the second sentence best applies:
I figured in general, articles that have several italicized latin binomial names, then quotes shall be used to distinguish words as words, thus my choice to use quotes. Thoughts? 71.81.74.166 ( talk) 03:31, 9 January 2017 (UTC)
The article Ancient Greek grammar (tables with transliteration) has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}}
notice, but please explain why in your
edit summary or on
the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}}
will stop the
proposed deletion process, but other
deletion processes exist. In particular, the
speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and
articles for deletion allows discussion to reach
consensus for deletion.

Hi Erutuon, Thanks for your audio files for Hindi plosives at Hindustani phonology, diff's version at retrieval. I've added it to talk page for Help: IPA for Hindi and Urdu.

Hello Erutuon, Thank you very much for the great work you do for Wikipedia ( articles, pages created), especially the articles in languages, plants and templates. Your valuable works, help to make Wikipedia a treasure trove. Thanks, 2know4power ( talk) 06:03, 13 January 2017 (UTC) |
Hello! The Wikimedia Foundation is asking for your feedback in a survey. We want to know how well we are supporting your work on and off wiki, and how we can change or improve things in the future. [1] The opinions you share will directly affect the current and future work of the Wikimedia Foundation. You have been randomly selected to take this survey as we would like to hear from your Wikimedia community. To say thank you for your time, we are giving away 20 Wikimedia T-shirts to randomly selected people who take the survey. [2] The survey is available in various languages and will take between 20 and 40 minutes.

I agree with you in principle that content should refer to the species not the genus, so I completed the process on Anemone hupehensis and moved the rest of the genus material to the genus page. Unfortunately your template substitution did not work since it was being called from within the text. So I reverted it.-- Michael Goodyear ( talk) 00:13, 17 January 2017 (UTC)

I reverted your edits because this [1] is an invalid rationale for such changes to the lead section. Other wikis are not source and you can't refer to them as a source.

Regarding your revert of my edit removing italics from a line of English text in English language, I can understand your reasoning, but I still disagree, for several reasons:
1) I don't think the formatting in Wikipedia articles has to match the formatting in linguistics textbooks or articles; in WP articles, other than emphasis, italics is usually used for foreign language text;
2) to help the average Wikipedia reader, English text should stand out as different from the text in the other – in this case closely related – languages; and
3) other Wikipedia articles generally have the English text in Roman (regular) font. See Frisian languages#Text samples and Frisian languages#Comparative sentence. The article on Middle English is inconsistent, with most showing Roman font for modern English and only one sample showing italics. – Corinne ( talk) 02:09, 5 May 2017 (UTC)
Well, I could go along with that, and I would much prefer no italics for any of the lines of example text. I think a lot of italic text is hard to read. – Corinne ( talk) 03:29, 5 May 2017 (UTC)

04:42, 20 September 2017 (UTC)First thanks for the thanks. I was not sure anyone would notice. The Ledum article is rather obscure. I found it trying to identify an image, a generic white rhododendron (I think).
Now about your gnome work. I really appreciate your changes in metric conversions. I have done a few myself. My favorite was a reverse - Pin. Us Americans are really not that fluent in m/cm/mm. I have physics and math degrees but still convert mentally.
Your conversion was "convert centimeters to fourth-inches, half-centimeters to eighth-inches, millimeters to sixteenth-inches, meters with two decimal points to feet-inches". I would not use this much precision. Luckily a cm is very close to 2 1/2 inches and a mm is very close to a 1/4 inch. I would change the conversion to: "convert centimeters to half-inches, half-centimeters to fourth-inches, millimeters to fourth-inches, meters with one (or more) decimal points to feet-inches".

Hi! I had a question about your September 19, 2016 edit of the Granby, Colorado page. You changed the average annual precipitation from 14.2 to 4.2 inches. The link on the climate box doesn't show the 4.2 inches. Is this from another source? Thanks! Lastexpofan ( talk) 14:39, 1 December 2017 (UTC)

I was rereading some of the old discussions we had years ago, and I noticed how I acted somewhat odd and overexplanatory during them. I just wanted to thank you for putting up with me back then so that we could reach something which would improve Wikipedia. Tharthan ( talk) 04:39, 27 December 2017 (UTC) |
