Information icon Welcome to Wikipedia and thank you for your contributions. I am glad to see that you are discussing a topic. However, as a general rule, talk pages are for discussion related to improving the article in specific ways based on reliable sources and the project policies and guidelines, not for general discussion about the topic or unrelated topics, or statements based on your thoughts or feelings. If you have specific questions about certain topics, consider visiting our reference desk and asking them there instead of on article talk pages. Thank you.

Help me! Don't want the page 'Xapl' deleted but am barred from editing. The title is 'Karl' using Greek symbols.

Please help me with...

RCNesland ( talk) 17:06, 18 March 2018 (UTC) reply

You should contest your block if you want to contribute to Wikipedia in any way. Also, we don't have a page entitled "Xapl". Huon ( talk) 17:51, 18 March 2018 (UTC) reply
Neither do we "Χαρλ". Nardog ( talk) 17:55, 18 March 2018 (UTC) reply
The page 'Xapl' can be found by broadening the search. The Greek spelled name will have the same sound in ancient and modern Greek and thus serve in comparative linguistics.
