Re: the Arcana disambig page: Please refrain from using the word "project" when referring to a band or album. Do you know where you got that usage? I would like to know. Use "band" for band and "album" for album. Keep it simple. Thanks.

I do not understand, how is WWI (disambiguation) not eligible for speedy deletion? The disambiguation page ends in "(disambiguation)" and only lists one other extant article.
WP:G14 states that "Disambiguation pages that have titles ending in "(disambiguation)" but disambiguate only one extant Wikipedia page". But okay, I will just nominate the article in WP:PROD.

Hey,
If Sarazi is a language, then it should hopefully have a language code. sira1263 should be it. The dialects listed for a language are often wrong. Really, we shouldn't link to dialect codes at Glottolog. My fault, that. — kwami ( talk) 21:41, 18 January 2021 (UTC)
Usually I ignore the dialect stuff because they're a mirror of MultiTree and so not RS. But it appears in this case that Glottolog did intentionally group these together as one language, which means in their judgement they are mutually intelligible. Anyway, continued below. — kwami ( talk) 23:12, 2 February 2021 (UTC)

Certes and I crossed paths in 2018, and we ran a campaign on mononymic tsxonomists. We fixed around 1,500 links. It took a fortnight (slow work; a lot of it wasn't easy; I was given the Wikispecies equivalent of WP:AP, because I was being a nuisance). IDK the circumstances, but it looks to me as if Certes and GoingBatty more recently discovered that they were both attacking the same difficult-to-find roll-your-eyes problems. So, I had this Idea for a centralised collaboration, explicitly disconnected from foolishly argued and closed WP:RM/ WP:PTOPIC discussions (I could cite at least three major examples without drawing breath). Someone has to pick up the pieces; a WP:MR might be a waste of breath; getting information right is all that matters.

Hello. What do you recommend as a title for a disambiguation page section that lists both individual people with the name, and articles about an ethnic group? WP:LONGDAB suggests "People". Or do you think those things should not be in the same section? "People and ethnic groups"?

Hi. 'Sirazi of Doda' is a MultiTree classification, not Glottolog, and MultiTree is not a RS. I rv'd that change.
As for Poguli, its ISO name is now Khah. If that's wrong, we should still say why readers are being directed there from that name, and someone will need to submit a change request to ISO. — kwami ( talk) 22:43, 2 February 2021 (UTC)
That may be, but according to Glottolog, sira1263 is the language, and all the refs on Glottolog apply to this variety, so you're rating your judgement as more reliable than Glottolog's. Unless you'd prefer to create a new Sirazi *language* article, and move this to the Sirazi of Doda dialect of the Sirazi language? — kwami ( talk) 22:51, 2 February 2021 (UTC)
I see now you've created an Rambani language article. That makes a difference.
What we have in Glottolog is that there is a language "Siraji" (Harald changes Arabo-Persian -i to English -ic, which is weird but unimportant) with the sources provided. One of those sources is Kaul (2006). The code sira1263 also covers the language in Parihar & Dwivedi (2019) A Grammar of Sarazi, and, according to the evaluation of Glottolog, that of Bhat (2012) A Morphological Study Of Siraji: Language spoken in Doda District of Jammu and Kashmir. Glottolog evaluated these along with Grierson 1919 and determined that Siraji of Dodi and Rambani were a single language, [sira1263]. That's presumably a judgement of mutual intelligibility.
So you're judging that Glottolog's judgement is wrong. It may be, but have you concluded from Kaul that the languages are not mutually intelligible, or have you just not seen a demonstration that they are mutually intelligible? — kwami ( talk) 23:10, 2 February 2021 (UTC)
Also, we need to link these articles from the family articles. We can add, say, Rambani to Western Pahari per Kaul and to Lahnda per Glottolog, or as unclassified within Indic -- whatever you think the sources best support, but people should be able to find the languages of a family from the article on that family. — kwami ( talk) 23:19, 2 February 2021 (UTC)
Thanks. Yes, that makes things much clearer. What of the connection of Poguli to Khah? Is that just nationalism, or do you think there's anything to it? (E.g. Dhar Nazir Ahmed (2013) 'A note on Khah morphology', Interdisciplinary Journal of Linguistics, U Kashmir, p 111-124.) — kwami ( talk) 00:13, 3 February 2021 (UTC)
My reason for linking to the Khasha was precisely to show that it's a grandiose claim. Why else call it 'Khah'? Do any RS's call it Khah, or was ISO duped?
If 'Khah' is not used by RS's, we probably shouldn't have it in the lead.
Also, if 'Panchali' is not the same thing, please revert me. I just noticed that most of the sources used for the ISO request were for 'Panchali'. — kwami ( talk) 00:17, 3 February 2021 (UTC)
Looks like he's claiming Sirazi and Rambani as dialects, and that's implicit in the ISO acceptance. — kwami ( talk) 02:34, 3 February 2021 (UTC)

Man i want to talk to you about article Saraiki Language — Preceding unsigned comment added by Siddiqmerani ( talk • contribs) 05:38, 18 March 2021 (UTC)
Why are you deleting all the dialects of Punjabi? Punjab means land of 5 rivers and Punjabi means language of 5 rivers. Saraiki/Multani is spoken on the land of Punjab so it is part of Punjabi language family. Multani is a sweet language but it is part of Punjabi language family.
You Multanis are free to develop your language but do not mess with other dialects or I might have to take action against you for trying to hide Punjabi dialects. Wikisuperman07 — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wikisuperman007 ( talk • contribs) 14:13, 22 March 2021 (UTC)
The reason I greatly expanded {{ Afroasiatic languages}} is so that one can navigate articles of different Afroasiatic languages using just one template. The idea is that the templates {{ Berber languages}}, {{ Biu–Mandara languages}}, {{ Cushitic languages}}, {{ East Chadic languages}}, {{ Masa languages}}, {{ Omotic languages}}, {{ Semitic languages}} and {{ West Chadic languages}} would be gradually merged into {{ Afroasiatic languages}} and replaced with different selected parameters on different articles. Why are other big templates allowed, like {{ Austronesian languages}} and {{ COVID-19 pandemic}} but not this one? -- PK2 ( talk) 01:09, 31 March 2021 (UTC)
Question from a dummy: can I directly embed a low-order template (like Template:Philippine languages) in a higher-order template (like Template:Austronesian languages), or does that require a third template that only contains the shared part of the code? This won't make Template:Austronesian languages less monstrous, but it can help to synchonize data. I would like to create templates for Celebic and South Sulawesi, two accepted and rather large/structured subgroups, but I want to see first if there's a way to avoid redundancies. – Austronesier ( talk) 11:56, 12 April 2021 (UTC)

Wanted to ask about your reversion of my edit on this one. I tend to think of maintenance templates as a strategy to draw the attention of a broader community of editors who may keep track of articles needing additional citations, for example. In my mind, this rationale justifies the addition of "obvious" templates to short articles, but I would be interested to hear your thinking on this. Michaelwallace22 ( talk) 14:09, 30 May 2021 (UTC)
Thanks! That's very helpful to hear, and I will take that into consideration in future edits. A quick Google search leads me to agree with you on the existence of the article - searching for subgrouping leads to a lot more information about the mathematical term, and the only linguistics link on the first page is this article. I would support its replacement with a dab page if that were proposed.

Hi. I swapped Merya and Merya people as requested. I'm having an issue with Wikidata though; as evidenced by the error now seen at Merya people, the Wikidata entry for the Merya people is still linked to Merya. When I try to change it to Merya people in Wikidata, it won't let me, saying that Volga Finns is already connected to a Wikidata item. But Merya redirects there too, and that's apparently not a problem. Do you by any chance know how to solve this? Lennart97 ( talk) 19:38, 16 June 2021 (UTC)

Template:Fs interlinear as special formatting for some languages, but Tibetan is not one of them. I think it should, considering that Tibetan is default shown as too small, and has a special template just for fixing that. I can't figure how how/where to add that though, and since you're the main editor behind Template:Fs interlinear and Module:Interlinear I thought you might know.

Why did you remove Hindko as a modern day dialect of Prakrit when Hindko literally came from Prakrit? I literally added a source on the history of Hindko language and Hindkowans.

If the sourcing in an article is insufficient, but all the information is consistent with what you've read about the topic, removing the information is probably not the best solution, don't you think?

This may seem small but it is easiest for admins if you make requests like this using Twinkle. You just go to the page you want deleted and usurpted, select CSD from the drop down Twinkle menu and select G6 Move. There is a field where you put the name of the page you want to move over. Then, the admin can, with one click, delete the page and do the move. It's very quick and straightforward. Doing this just might cause your requests to be acted on more quickly. Thanks! Liz Read!

You Multanis are free to develop your language but do not mess with other dialects or I might have to take action against you for trying to hide Punjabi dialects. Wikisuperman07 — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wikisuperman007 ( talk • contribs) 14:13, 22 March 2021 (UTC)
The reason I greatly expanded {{ Afroasiatic languages}} is so that one can navigate articles of different Afroasiatic languages using just one template. The idea is that the templates {{ Berber languages}}, {{ Biu–Mandara languages}}, {{ Cushitic languages}}, {{ East Chadic languages}}, {{ Masa languages}}, {{ Omotic languages}}, {{ Semitic languages}} and {{ West Chadic languages}} would be gradually merged into {{ Afroasiatic languages}} and replaced with different selected parameters on different articles. Why are other big templates allowed, like {{ Austronesian languages}} and {{ COVID-19 pandemic}} but not this one? -- PK2 ( talk) 01:09, 31 March 2021 (UTC)
Question from a dummy: can I directly embed a low-order template (like Template:Philippine languages) in a higher-order template (like Template:Austronesian languages), or does that require a third template that only contains the shared part of the code? This won't make Template:Austronesian languages less monstrous, but it can help to synchonize data. I would like to create templates for Celebic and South Sulawesi, two accepted and rather large/structured subgroups, but I want to see first if there's a way to avoid redundancies. – Austronesier ( talk) 11:56, 12 April 2021 (UTC)

Hey, thanks for the interest in the columnizing template. You, I see, are a template guy, so maybe you can fix the documentation for that template. It's all automatic now. I'd trout you, but, really, the guy that didn't change the doc after that template change years ago deserves it. Orz... Happy editing. GenQuest "scribble" 16:38, 16 May 2021 (UTC)
Wanted to ask about your reversion of my edit on this one. I tend to think of maintenance templates as a strategy to draw the attention of a broader community of editors who may keep track of articles needing additional citations, for example. In my mind, this rationale justifies the addition of "obvious" templates to short articles, but I would be interested to hear your thinking on this. Michaelwallace22 ( talk) 14:09, 30 May 2021 (UTC)
Thanks! That's very helpful to hear, and I will take that into consideration in future edits. A quick Google search leads me to agree with you on the existence of the article - searching for subgrouping leads to a lot more information about the mathematical term, and the only linguistics link on the first page is this article. I would support its replacement with a dab page if that were proposed.
There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you. UserNumber ( talk) 17:33, 14 June 2021 (UTC)
Hello, I noticed your change on literal translation of the article Punjab, Pakistan, please keep in mind that Punjab is made of two words, Punj (five) and aab (waters) in Persian. Therefore making it "Five Waters". Please read more about this before you make an uneducated change.

Just to clarify, why I removed that portion is because there was ‘more details on this in subsequent lines’ as I stated in my edit summary. Since it was unsourced, I took this as an opportunity to be bold. I still feel that that introduction is pretty needless here. Anyways, cheers! ·~ dictátor· mundꟾ 12:28, 16 June 2021 (UTC)
Hi. I swapped Merya and Merya people as requested. I'm having an issue with Wikidata though; as evidenced by the error now seen at Merya people, the Wikidata entry for the Merya people is still linked to Merya. When I try to change it to Merya people in Wikidata, it won't let me, saying that Volga Finns is already connected to a Wikidata item. But Merya redirects there too, and that's apparently not a problem. Do you by any chance know how to solve this? Lennart97 ( talk) 19:38, 16 June 2021 (UTC)
The mistakes were made with the names and publication year of the book. Also, wasn't familiar with the wiki user interface.

Your revert of Mesha (month) was undone. Again you are using the same tactics in Vrishabha, the next month after Mesha. That is very evident is that you are vandalizing. Please refrain. Crashed greek ( talk) 04:06, 2 July 2021 (UTC)
Template:Fs interlinear as special formatting for some languages, but Tibetan is not one of them. I think it should, considering that Tibetan is default shown as too small, and has a special template just for fixing that. I can't figure how how/where to add that though, and since you're the main editor behind Template:Fs interlinear and Module:Interlinear I thought you might know. (And for context, I set up the glosses on Modern Standard Tibetan grammar using the template.) -- Eievie ( talk) 22:18, 9 July 2021 (UTC)

Why are you keep changing it to Indian when i just explained to you how he is Pakistani. Would you be Okay if Pakistan starts claiming Ashoka as Pakistani since he actually made Taxila its capital which is in Pakistan. I don’t understand why is it so hard for you to acknowledge the origins of where they’re from.

Why did you remove Hindko as a modern day dialect of Prakrit when Hindko literally came from Prakrit? I literally added a source on the history of Hindko language and Hindkowans. Why are you making false errors and putting misinformation? You do know that Hindkowans are native people of kpk aka descendents of Gandhara. What’s bothering you so much about their history being put with their civilization? Insha22 ( talk) 11:49, 29 July 2021 (UTC)
I’m literally a Gandharan. Why are you Indian washing my history. I’m literally from Charsadda which is one of the capitals of Gandhara civilization. You are coming on all the Pakistani history pages to Indian wash our history. If i see it again, I’ll have to report you. Leave my history alone coming from a Gandharan itself.

Hi. I appreciate your help with the Phonics article. However, I am puzzled by your removal of arabic as an example of an alphabetic language. I am not a linguist, however, the articles on Alphabet and Arabic both refer to the "arabic alphabet". I included the examples because I feel many English readers only think of the Roman alphabet. Can you please explain more about why Arabic does not belong? Thanks. John NH ( talk) 18:11, 19 August 2021 (UTC)

Thanks so much for this! I have absolutely no idea what happened there – I tried to comment, had an EC, stopped, tried again with the same comment on a new edit. I can't see what can have caused that (caching somewhere???) but I wish I had checked ... you don't normally expect, though, to see that my addition is someone else's removal!

If the sourcing in an article is insufficient, but all the information is consistent with what you've read about the topic, removing the information is probably not the best solution, don't you think? It might be argued that you are attempting to coerce editors into putting sources into articles. Perhaps a citation needed tag would be more appropriate?

Hello, Uanfala. I saw your edit summary on WP:RFD and wanted to let you know, yes, that was an error. Apparently, I didn’t know how to use the template at first and copy-pasted the “QRNG” template instead, editing “QRNG” out. But, it looks like it found its way in there. :P I’ll have to figure out how to use a template next time… feel free to trout me. — 3PPYB6 — TALK — CONTRIBS — SANDBOXES — LOGS — 23:46, 8 December 2021 (UTC)
I'll respond here instead of Gotitbro's talk page as I don't want to stir up another argument there. I appreciate your comment.

Hi Uanfala, I noticed
this edit to {{

, removing the link to
Samsung SGH-A167, citing in the edit summary "rm Samsung SGH-A167: article doesn't exist anymore
". I'm thinking that this might be a mistake, so I have reinstated the previous version, as the article in question does still seem to exist.

Hello, Uanfala,
This may seem small but it is easiest for admins if you make requests like this using Twinkle. You just go to the page you want deleted and usurpted, select CSD from the drop down Twinkle menu and select G6 Move. There is a field where you put the name of the page you want to move over. Then, the admin can, with one click, delete the page and do the move. It's very quick and straightforward. Doing this just might cause your requests to be acted on more quickly. Thanks! Liz Read!
