Hi, I have been fixing a lot of problems caused by your edits over the last couple of days to various atolls, including but not limited to:
The total number of articles involved has (so far) been about double this. They have been appearing in the category of Pages_with_missing_references_list because the articles do not have a {{reflist}} or <references/> tag. Would it be possible for you to ensure that this detail is included before you move on to the next page? Also, please could you cite correctly as the barelink citation format you have used is susceptible to linkrot and pretty meaningless - WP:CITE has more information. Thanks - Sitush ( talk) 06:52, 20 April 2011 (UTC)
Hi, Gilgamesh. Sitush asked me to provide my input on these matters. Let me start by saying that there are basically 2 different issues here, one of which is really important, the other of which isn't.

{{reflist}}
Alright, I already finished all that earlier. Reflists and link titles included. - Gilgamesh ( talk) 03:39, 21 April 2011 (UTC)
Hi, AfDs are not votes, but discussions. The most powerful argument wins. Thus, your comment does nothing to help the situation. Please insert some sort of reason for keeping it. Thanks, Blake ( Talk· Edits) 22:04, 23 April 2011 (UTC)
Hi Gilgamesh,
Just came across your nice Marshallese phonology article. Good to have; I've wondered about this language for some time. However, it, and the IPAc-mh templates you've set up, present the phonetic difference between p and b as one of primary articulation, whereas the refs seem pretty clear it's a matter of secondary articulation. Is there any RS for the phonetic details? Or do the advanced and retracted diacritics maybe need to be replaced with ATR and RTR diacritics? — kwami ( talk) 01:28, 3 June 2011 (UTC)
Thanks! Very nice addition - aside from the increase in presentation possibilities this edit engenders, the increase in the interactivity of the table is VERY cool. Much appreciated. Tom Cloyd ( talk) 17:08, 13 July 2011 (UTC)

I'm puzzled by your recent edit to Arabic grammar in which you replaced the modifier letter left and right half rings, transliteration for the hamza and ʿayn, with left and right single quotes as a more scientifically accurate transliteration. But the half rings are correct for DIN and apostrophes for ALA-LC, and it's DIN that's used in the article, so why change transliteration to apostrophes? — Eru· tuon 03:16, 17 November 2011 (UTC)
Hi. In your recent article edits, you've added some links pointing to disambiguation pages. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Given your interest in historical phonology, I wonder if you would be able to contribute a perspective (whether it agrees with mine or not) to Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Linguistics#Dead_languages_in_phone_tables. It's not very productive to have so few participants in a discussion, and I'm sure I'm missing part of the perspective that you may possess. Cheers, Wareh ( talk) 20:34, 10 January 2012 (UTC)

Hi Gilgamesh. I came across your article on Marshallese phonology and I have some concerns about possible OR in the article. See the talk-page comments. I gather you know a good deal about this language; but the analyses presented are very unusual from a cross-linguistic perspective, and I'd like to see sources that back this up. Otherwise we are clearly venturing into OR territory. As for the approximants, IMO you should just use /j/ /w/ /ɰ/ unless you find good sources that suggest otherwise. It is extremely hard to read the transcriptions you present with the strange /ɦʲ/ and such forms, and your narrow transcription needs to correspond to what is actually spoken -- if a long vowel appears on the surface, the transcription needs to include that. If you need to present three separate levels (deep analysis, less deep analysis, surface analysis), then by all means do that. Benwing ( talk) 22:56, 2 April 2012 (UTC)

In the Shinar article, you recently changed the single left-quote mark to a single straight-quote mark in the transliteration of the name (Šin`ar »» Šin'ar). I have been mulling the change in my head for several days. It does not sit well with me as the single left-quote is often used for ע while the single straight-quote is often used for א, and there are still people who make a distinction between the two. Would the use of Šinˁar work with you, or would you have issues with that as well? The use of the pharyngeal ˁ mark would seem to be the best choice as it is frequently employed in ANE and Semitics journals. Your thoughts??? — al-Shimoni ( talk) 00:07, 25 June 2012 (UTC)
