Any particular reason that you feel that Inverness "IS NOT" the capital of the Scottish Highlands? Hypertone ( talk) 16:11, 18 August 2012
I've checked and apologies, you're absolutely right. Sorry for that. Hypertone ( talk) 21:58, 18 August 2012 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.3.237.24 ( talk)
Dear Gilgamesh,
We are a team of researchers at the University of Oxford and AU Sharjah, researching the experiences of editors of content about the Arab world on Wikipedia. We are interested in your experiences of editing Wikipedia and are organising two events that we think you would be an excellent contributor to.
First, we are hosting an online wiki focus group about contributing to Wikipedia in Arabic and to articles about the Middle East and North Africa. We are interested in what barriers you perceive to exist in Wikipedia, how articles can be made better and generally what can be done to expand and improve Arabic Wikipedia and Wikipedia articles about the Arab world. This discussion will take place on a MediaWiki hosted at our institution and be available in English and Arabic. We will allow users to create their own discussion pages in addition to our discussions.
Second, we are hosting face-to-face workshops in Cairo from 21st-22nd October 2012. If you are interested in this we should be able to pay travel and accommodation costs for up to twenty participants. This workshop will cover similar themes to the online discussion but will allow participants to meet one another and benefit from being together.
We will take care of the organization and planning and all you have to do is show up and be ready to discuss. But if you would like to help shape some of the discussion themes in advance, please let us know. We have booked time in the workshops for Wikipedian-led discussions.
More details can be found by expanding our “Frequently Asked Questions” below.
We would be delighted to welcome you to either (or both) event. Please let us know (wikiproject@oii.ox.ac.uk) if you would like the opportunity to participate and we can send you more details.
Sincerely,
Mark, Bernie, Ilhem, Ali, Ahmed, and Heather

Actually, [ɰʷ] would just be [w] (labialized velar approximant). The Japanese /w/ is different. — kwami ( talk) 08:57, 30 September 2012 (UTC)

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Kemono is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Kemono until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.
Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion template from the top of the article. — Ryulong ( 琉竜) 17:01, 30 December 2012 (UTC)
I'm coming here, since it seems you are the author of the manner in which Marshallese words are transcribed at Wikipedia. I believe the situation to be a mess. The transcriptions are not only incredibly narrow, but Help:IPA for Marshallese does a poor job of explaining the transcriptions to non-experts. Here is how I see improving the situation
Gilgamesh, I've noticed that you have contributed a lot to the Marshallese anthems on Wikipedia ( Ij Io̧kwe Ļo̧k Aelōn̄ Eo Aō and Forever Marshall Islands) I thought you might be a good person to bring some questions I have regarding the anthems and their pages:
Thanks for any advice you can give on that. -- Canuckguy ( talk) 01:13, 19 February 2013 (UTC)

Hi Gilgamesh. You've contributed information about the cedilla in Marshallese. I've asked for reference concerning the shape of the cedilla in Marshallese in Cedilla#Marshallese and Talk:Cedilla#Cedilla_shape_in_Marshallese. Thanks in advance. -- Moyogo/ (talk) 12:18, 30 June 2013 (UTC)
Hi. Saw your recent addition to the bikini article re. "design violates the traditional female modesty customs of Marshallese culture in its exposure of bare thighs". This is interesting, and I've no reason to doubt the info you've included, but I've marked it as needing a valid source/citation. Would you please be so kind as to return to the article and provide at least the minimum in verifiable sources? Thanks! Az x2 18:28, 23 June 2013 (UTC)
Hello, this pronunciation is [tãpeɪ̯t], [tãpaɪ̯t] or [tãpɐɪ̯t] ? Because it's difficult to hear. 198.105.121.83 ( talk) 01:46, 3 November 2013 (UTC)
This one is also different to hear. It's [ivæːχ] or [ivaɛ̯χ] ? 198.105.121.83 ( talk) 15:51, 3 November 2013 (UTC)
Do you think it's [ivæɛ̯χ] ? 198.105.121.83 ( talk) 19:34, 3 November 2013 (UTC)

Category:Kamchatka, which you created, has been nominated for possible deletion, merging, or renaming.

An editor has asked for a discussion to address the redirect Ukrajina. Since you had some involvement with the Ukrajina redirect, you might want to participate in the redirect discussion if you have not already done so. The ChampionMan 1234 10:25, 8 June 2014 (UTC)
Hi Gilgamesh, I'm sorry but this edit has introduced an inconsistency into the article that spurred a complaint on talk years ago which was still unaddressed, so I had to undo your changes. When reliable sources contradict each other, the obvious solution – also usually followed on Wikipedia – is to relate their accounts side by side and acknowledge the differences. Attempts to force harmonisation between conflicting accounts artificially only result in confusion and fall foul of WP:OR and WP:SYNTH, that's why we don't do it. Stemmler (the chart in Great Vowel Shift), Wheeler (the table in that same article), Barber (the running text in Phonological history of English low back vowels) and Wells (the table in that same article) are all different authors, so it's not that surprising that they don't quite agree. -- Florian Blaschke ( talk) 04:12, 18 July 2014 (UTC)
Category:Volcanoes of Bougainville, which you created, has been nominated for renaming. If you would like to participate in the discussion, you are invited to add your comments at the category's entry on the Categories for discussion page. Thank you. -- Black Falcon ( talk) 21:45, 19 August 2014 (UTC)
Are you Gilgamesh from the Hebrew Wikipedia? Lior ( talk) 10:49, 5 September 2014 (UTC)
In Romanization_of_Hebrew#Comparative_table, your edit at [1] added the following incomplete sentence: "In addition, an International Phonetic Alphabet pronunciation is indicated—historical (Tiberian vocalization) for ISO 259, prescribed for Hebrew Academy, and in practice for Israeli." Looks like you had intended to end the sentence with "Israelis" or a noun phrase instead of just the word "Israeli".
Also, your subsequent edit at [2] removed the IPA column from the Hebrew Academy section of the table. If that was your intent, then you will also want to remove the reference to that IPA column from the sentence quoted above, which remains as you created it.
Since I don't know your intent for the second issue, I'll leave them both to you. Thanks, -- Rich Janis ( talk) 05:42, 19 November 2014 (UTC)
