A tag has been placed on Category:Redirects from Sinhalese-language terms requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section C1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the category has been empty for seven days or more and is not a disambiguation category, a category redirect, a featured topics category, under discussion at Categories for discussion, or a project category that by its nature may become empty on occasion.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Liz Read! Talk! 16:42, 16 July 2019 (UTC)
As you may have noticed in my edit summary here, I ended up using {{ rp}} when I was recovering and merging some citations. I was curious what methodology you use for converting citations from {{rp}} to {{ sfn}}? Do you have a script for conversion, or do you just use find-and-replace with regular expressions? Or do you do it manually? Retro ( talk | contribs) 22:52, 19 July 2019 (UTC)

and then all subsequent citations to that source done with sfn (pointing back to that first instance). On a more general note, there's
a technical proposal that, if implemented, will remove one major practical reason for converting existing citations into the sfn format. –

Hi Uanfala, I would like to have your opinion on this topic: Talk:Vasconic languages#Merge with Vasconic substratum theory. My point is, I think that the use of "Vasconic languages" for anything other than Vennemann's Vasconic hypothesis is mostly WP-driven, and that the article should therefore be collapsed to a redirect to Vasconic substrate hypothesis, or maximally to a dab (like this, with all necessary formal corrections). – Austronesier ( talk) 14:37, 17 August 2019 (UTC)
You recently edited a couple of articles on geography to state that the traditional boundary between North and South America is not the Darién Gap, but the Panama Canal. Please note the the Panama Canal is a man-made geographic feature of the 20th century, and as such is not the traditional boundary between the continents. Please also note that the Darién Gap not only is the traditional boundary between North and South America, but also forms the land border between Panama and Colombia, so mainland Colombia is located wholly within South America; Colombia's claims to transcontinental status stem from its claims over the San Andrés and Providencia archipelagos off the Caribbean coast of Nicaragua.
I have edited the List of Transcontinental Countries article to make clear that mainland Colombia is located wholly within South Anerica, and have reverted your two edits that substituted the Panama Canal for the Darién Gap as the continental boundary. Please rest aassured that my edits were done not in pursuance of claims on behalf of Colombia (I am entirely neutral regarding rivalries among South and Central American nations), but for sober-eyed geographic and historical reasons. I see by your recent edits that some articles concerning Colombia did include other editors' POV edits that espoused the country's greatness (which is not acceptable for an encyclopedia), and you were correct to clean up those articles, but the articles on geographical boundaries between continents are not part of any such agenda.

Hello. I'd like to clarify that in East Asian Buddhist literature, Manichaeism (摩尼教), Nestorianism (景教) and Zoroastrianism (祆教) are specifically mentioned as heretical (外道). Because the categories for the first two subjects are listed under Category:Heresy in ancient Christianity, the argument that they are "separate religions" does not support their exclusion from Category:Heresy in Buddhism. -- Invokingvajras talk 23:21, 31 August 2019 (UTC)

Hello, regarding move of Vrishchika and Mesha, the link you mentioned WP:TRANSLITERATE clearly mentions that all titles must be Romanized, without any diacritics. Also google search gives around a million links for Vrishchika and Mesha. Crashed greek ( talk) 07:44, 19 September 2019 (UTC)
Established systematic Romanizations, such as Hanyu Pinyin, are preferred. Meṣa uses the International Alphabet of Sanskrit Transliteration, which is an established systematic romanisation for Sanskrit terms. Mesha, on the other hand, is an informal anglicisation, which has the disadvantage of not being in a straightforward relation to the original Sanskrit (sh could stand for both ṣ and ś, a could be either a or ā).

Hi Uanfala, do you know anything about how Tibetan works? I find the same names written in different ways by different authors and having a hard time to figure out who is who. It is also not clear what transliteration we use on Wikipedia with, once again, different editors transliterating differently.
For example, for the founder of the Ladakhi dynasty, whose name is spelt on Wikipedia as Lhachen Dpalgyimgon, the sources use

You reverted my deletions on KDT, with the comment that these abbreviations are used. The point is that they're not mentioned in the relevant articles; disambiguation is disambiguation, not adding new information or a dictionary of abbreviations.

I've recently completed a beta version of a template for formatting interlinear glosses.
This undated comment appears just after inviting us to whack you with a wet rainbow trout for doing anything silly!
Some time ago, I resolved to sign all comments I make, even on my own talk page, as this serves to remind me — not just that I did it, but also when I did something — as in, "Oh! Has it really been that long?" May I heartily recommend this "self-documentary" discipline to you, too? The benefits are akin to those experienced by programmers who adopt the discipline of commenting in their code every little thing that will not be immediately transparent (from the variable and procedure names they've chosen, oh so carefully), even to themselves, after the next three projects or three months, whichever comes first.
Now, an inspection reveals that the Interlinear template and module has taken quite a lot of work to set up, and it's certainly worth having others test it out. What one can't readily tell is whether it still needs testing, or has progressed from beta to production status. Please do let us know!

Hi Uanfala, Please take a look at Skardu Valley and Gilgit Valley which are uncomplete articles.

Hi Uanfala, first off, thanks for your recent input at the Punjabi language talk page discussions. I think you really played a role creating a consensus that everyone was content with.
I noticed that you contribute a lot to South Asia articles in general with many other contributors and with a lot of know-how. Would you or another contributor you know be able to convert abugida character images from PDFs into SVG images that could be uploaded to Commons and used in charts in Wikipedia articles? Sharada and Multani characters (as proposed by Pandey) would be the abugidas in question, particularly the Sharada characters on page 6 and possibly 7 as well, and the Multani characters from pages 2 to 4 (in the sections named "Vowels," "Consonants," and "Notes on Consonants" variants). Thanks for any help you are able and willing to give, or for referring this request to any interested contributors. Sapedder ( talk) 00:12, 3 November 2019 (UTC)
Hi Uanfala, the removal of Category:Language versus dialect from Hindi wasn't a mistake. I was emptying out that category to redirect it to Category:Language varieties and styles since the category was mostly redundant. Looking at the Hindi article, there's no discussion of what differentiates a language or dialect, and that's not a defining feature of the article topic even if there were sucha general discussion. I put it in Category:Languages because the article treats it as a language, but I don't have strong opinions on what category it goes into so long as Category:Language versus dialect is removed.

Hello,
Google Code-In, Google-organized contest in which the Wikimedia Foundation participates, starts in a few weeks. This contest is about taking high school students into the world of opensource. I'm sending you this message because you recently edited a documentation page at the English Wikipedia.
I would like to ask you to take part in Google Code-In as a mentor. That would mean to prepare at least one task (it can be documentation related, or something else - the other categories are Code, Design, Quality Assurance and Outreach) for the participants, and help the student to complete it. Please sign up at the contest page and send us your Google account address to google-code-in-admins@lists.wikimedia.org, so we can invite you in!
From my own experience, Google Code-In can be fun, you can make several new friends, attract new people to your wiki and make them part of your community.
If you have any questions, please let us know at google-code-in-admins@lists.wikimedia.org.
Thank you!

Hi! I don't know if you have noticed, but SIL has introduced a hard paywall for Ethnologue [7], including their archives of older versions. URLs to older versions are dead and redirected to a default page promoting to buy a plan, e.g. [8]. This includes of course our template-generated links. Bold idea: can we just replace e.g.
[https://www.ethnologue.com/18/language/{{{1|}}}/ {{{2|{{PAGENAME}}}}}]
with
[https://web.archive.org/web/20170101000000/https://www.ethnologue.com/18/language/{{{1|}}}/ {{{2|{{PAGENAME}}}}}] ?
(Maybe there is a better choice of date) I have tried a few languages, seems to work for some but not all. What do you think? – Austronesier ( talk) 16:15, 28 November 2019 (UTC)
A lot of those old links are because there's no date or source for the data, so the old link gives you an idea of how out-of-date it might be. The other reason is to keep track of what we need to update. But we haven't done that in a few years, and now with a paywall if we update ...
Yeah, it would be nice to wean ourselves off Ethn and start using s.t. more reliable, but what? If they provide their sources, we can use those directly. Better that way, actually, as often they use funky arithmetic that should be avoided. When they don't give their sources, we could Wayback.
I wish there were a RS 2ary source we could use, but there isn't one, so we're left to do the research to decide among primary sources. That's a lot of work to keep up with. — kwami ( talk) 20:50, 28 November 2019 (UTC)
The agreed Wikipedia romanization of Bulgarian is the Streamlined System so the Bulgarian name Беньо Цонев is transliterated as Benyo Tsonev not Benjo Conev, and your redirect ought to be reversed. Best, Apcbg ( talk) 09:29, 2 December 2019 (UTC)
I read through the draft Draft:Tiantai dialect, which you marked as promising ( diff), and there wasn't much material, even in the Chinese wikipedia. The Chinese wikipedia only contains the more general Taizhou dialect (which seems non-notable as well), and nearly all of the already limited text is found in the Baidu citation given. Considering that I found nearly no sources for the Tiantai dialect, is this draft or topic actually promising? The Lord of Math ( Message; Contribs) 09:43, 12 December 2019 (UTC)

Hello! It looks like about half of the clicks on Pasto have used the Pasto (Colombia) redirect you created on the disambiguation page.

Hi Uanfala, Please take a look at Skardu Valley and Gilgit Valley which are uncomplete articles. I think these should be redirected to the articles Skardu city and Gilgit city respectively, as the areas are the same and both the valleys are associated with these areas. Thank You.

Hi Uanfala, first off, thanks for your recent input at the Punjabi language talk page discussions. I think you really played a role creating a consensus that everyone was content with.
I noticed that you contribute a lot to South Asia articles in general with many other contributors and with a lot of know-how. Would you or another contributor you know be able to convert abugida character images from PDFs into SVG images that could be uploaded to Commons and used in charts in Wikipedia articles? Sharada and Multani characters (as proposed by Pandey) would be the abugidas in question, particularly the Sharada characters on page 6 and possibly 7 as well, and the Multani characters from pages 2 to 4 (in the sections named "Vowels," "Consonants," and "Notes on Consonants" variants). Thanks for any help you are able and willing to give, or for referring this request to any interested contributors. Sapedder ( talk) 00:12, 3 November 2019 (UTC)
Hi Uanfala, the removal of Category:Language versus dialect from Hindi wasn't a mistake. I was emptying out that category to redirect it to Category:Language varieties and styles since the category was mostly redundant. Looking at the Hindi article, there's no discussion of what differentiates a language or dialect, and that's not a defining feature of the article topic even if there were sucha general discussion. I put it in Category:Languages because the article treats it as a language, but I don't have strong opinions on what category it goes into so long as Category:Language versus dialect is removed.

Hello,
Google Code-In, Google-organized contest in which the Wikimedia Foundation participates, starts in a few weeks. This contest is about taking high school students into the world of opensource. I'm sending you this message because you recently edited a documentation page at the English Wikipedia.
I would like to ask you to take part in Google Code-In as a mentor. That would mean to prepare at least one task (it can be documentation related, or something else - the other categories are Code, Design, Quality Assurance and Outreach) for the participants, and help the student to complete it. Please sign up at the contest page and send us your Google account address to google-code-in-admins@lists.wikimedia.org, so we can invite you in!
From my own experience, Google Code-In can be fun, you can make several new friends, attract new people to your wiki and make them part of your community.
If you have any questions, please let us know at google-code-in-admins@lists.wikimedia.org.
Thank you!

Hi! I don't know if you have noticed, but SIL has introduced a hard paywall for Ethnologue [7], including their archives of older versions. URLs to older versions are dead and redirected to a default page promoting to buy a plan, e.g. [8]. This includes of course our template-generated links. Bold idea: can we just replace e.g.
[https://www.ethnologue.com/18/language/{{{1|}}}/ {{{2|{{PAGENAME}}}}}]
with
[https://web.archive.org/web/20170101000000/https://www.ethnologue.com/18/language/{{{1|}}}/ {{{2|{{PAGENAME}}}}}] ?
(Maybe there is a better choice of date) I have tried a few languages, seems to work for some but not all. What do you think? – Austronesier ( talk) 16:15, 28 November 2019 (UTC)
A lot of those old links are because there's no date or source for the data, so the old link gives you an idea of how out-of-date it might be. The other reason is to keep track of what we need to update. But we haven't done that in a few years, and now with a paywall if we update ...
Yeah, it would be nice to wean ourselves off Ethn and start using s.t. more reliable, but what? If they provide their sources, we can use those directly. Better that way, actually, as often they use funky arithmetic that should be avoided. When they don't give their sources, we could Wayback.
I wish there were a RS 2ary source we could use, but there isn't one, so we're left to do the research to decide among primary sources. That's a lot of work to keep up with. — kwami ( talk) 20:50, 28 November 2019 (UTC)
The agreed Wikipedia romanization of Bulgarian is the Streamlined System so the Bulgarian name Беньо Цонев is transliterated as Benyo Tsonev not Benjo Conev, and your redirect ought to be reversed. Best, Apcbg ( talk) 09:29, 2 December 2019 (UTC)
I read through the draft Draft:Tiantai dialect, which you marked as promising ( diff), and there wasn't much material, even in the Chinese wikipedia. The Chinese wikipedia only contains the more general Taizhou dialect (which seems non-notable as well), and nearly all of the already limited text is found in the Baidu citation given. Considering that I found nearly no sources for the Tiantai dialect, is this draft or topic actually promising? The Lord of Math ( Message; Contribs) 09:43, 12 December 2019 (UTC)
You've done good work there! A few points:
Hello Uanfala: Enjoy the holiday season and winter solstice if it's occurring in your area of the world, and thanks for your work to maintain, improve and expand Wikipedia. Cheers, Fylindfotberserk ( talk) 16:14, 21 December 2019 (UTC)
Multiple IPs and socks belonging to User:Muhammad Samiuddin Qazi (sami) have been wrecking havoc on {{ Urdu topics}} and {{ Hindi topics}}. Can you monitor these for a while. While I have asked protection, these IPs have been relentless in recent days. Thanks. Gotitbro ( talk) 04:16, 22 December 2019 (UTC)
Hi, Merry Christmas to you. I have a little concern in one of the recent edits that you made in Gujurat article, to some extent i also agree but i think the Language part you have deleted is actually about Gujarat state, so i think it should be restored. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:MobileDiff/932316333 Rocky 734 ( talk) 02:29, 25 December 2019 (UTC)
Hello! It looks like about half of the clicks on Pasto have used the Pasto (Colombia) redirect you created on the disambiguation page. From a pageview perspective, it does look as though the Colombian city is the primary topic. The total views for Pasto, Colombia are quite a bit higher than the other topics on the disambiguation page. What do you think? - Niceguyedc Go Huskies! 11:43, 30 December 2019 (UTC)
A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Kazhimbram 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/Kazhimbram until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, 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 notice from the top of the article. I thought you would be worth notifying as the one who PROD-ed the article and later changed it back from a redirect. Glades12 ( talk) 12:01, 31 December 2019 (UTC)
