A tag has been placed on Extremaduran contractions requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. Please don't forget to provide an edit summary for your edits. Thank you. The Ogre (talk) 12:48, 23 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Not necessary disagreeing with you, but could you, please, explain these edits in the talk page of the article, as you would to intelligent non-specialists. For example "X language. Refers to ... Not a language because this is a dialect of language Y..." (1-2 sentences for each language should be enough to understand what you mean.) This is in order to prevent someone in the future re-adding/re-deleting them again into/from the article without explanation. At least we would know what the issues are/could be.

If you could also improve the references of the article, it would really help very much to improve the overall quality of the article. Thank you very much, Dc76\^talk 00:32, 24 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I moved History of the Spanish Language back to to User:LuisGomez111/History of the Spanish Language. The problem is that we already have an article with the title History of the Spanish language. Doing major changes like this are fine but you have to keep it in userspace until it's ready to replace the main article. We can't have 2 articles with essentially the same title. One subject per title. --User:Woohookitty ^{Diamming fool!} 10:10, 24 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. I don't know a translator, but there are on-line dictionaries like this. I could help you with translations too. Bye. Lin linao (talk) 06:38, 27 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. How can I help you in castúo? There are Mapudungun courses in cities of Chile and Argentina. A very good textbook is Mapudunguyu (Catrileo, 1988) and a good basic grammar is Grámatica básica de la lengua mapuche (Hernández, Ramos and Huenchulaf, 2006); other resources are Mapudungun. El habla mapuche (Zúñiga, 2006), Gramática araucana (Augusta, 1903); on Logos there is a list of common sentences and words. Bye. Lin linao (talk) 07:50, 2 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Astur-Leonese is a dialect continuum, all variants can be considered in the same status either a language or a dialect. There is not agreement, so all possibilities must be contemplated. Both Cantabrian and Extremaduran are considered by UNESCO as asturleonese dialects ^[1].(Alternate names: Bable; Mirandese (local name in Portugal); Extremaduran (dialect); Cantabrian (dialect)). Although extremaduran was given a ISO code ext it's quite clear that both languages are part of the same linguistic group, in fact both dialects/languages are extremely inteligible being cantabrian and extremaduran closer than extremaduran and asturian or leonese.Uhanu (talk) 22:36, 6 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! I've added links that point to the article,^[1][2][3][4] so it's not orphaned anymore. The two other issues (notability and referencing) are more serious. The problem is that there are not many reliable sources available that have written about the song. The only one that I could find was this interview of Txus at themetalcircus.com, but I don't understand Spanish so I don't know how much relevant information there really is about the song. The fact that there are not enough reliable sources available means that there's probably not enough information to warrant a separate article for the song. In my opinion, it would be better if the information was in its own section in the Finisterra article, and Satania would be a redirect to that article. What do you think?

A tag has been placed on La posada de los muertos requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A9 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a musical recording which does not indicate why its subject is important or significant, and where the artist's article has never existed, has been deleted or is eligible for deletion itself. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for music.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay.

Hello. You should find someone here who can speak with you in Spanish, it will be easier for you. I on't know anything about the article you wrote and it seems to not satisfy the notability policy. <>Multi-Xfer<> (talk) 23:56, 7 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. You may also click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you. --SineBot (talk) 23:25, 8 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Sorry to bother you, but I'm editing the Howard Bloom article, and have a question for someone with knowledge of French. Can you tell me if this source supports the following passage:

Bloom was publicist and career advisor for Herbie Hancock , the Simon & Garfunkel Reunion Tour, the 25th Anniversary of the Beatles Invasion of the United States, Queen, AC/DC, Kiss, Aerosmith, Supertramp, Genesis, Phil Collins, Styx, REO Speedwagon, Joan Armatrading, Simply Red, Spandau Ballet, Berlin, Spiro Gyra, ZZ Top, and Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five, and Run DMC. Bloom and his firm publicized Amnesty International’s first effort to gain visibility in the US, handled the launch of Farm Aid, and worked with a small slew of major films from Paramount, Disney, Warner Brothers, and New Line Cinema.

Does the article establish that the assertion in the passage is correct, or does Bloom merely assert it himself in the interview? Thanks. Nightscream (talk) 01:25, 12 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not remove maintenance templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Extremaduran language, without resolving the problem that the template refers to, or giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your removal of this template does not appear constructive, and has been reverted. As I pointed out in the last edit summary, I expect at the very least a rationale for your removal of this template. --LjL (talk) 20:10, 13 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Extremaduran language. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing. Please do not repeatedly revert edits, but use the talk page to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. If necessary, pursue dispute resolution. You are supposed to provide requested citations, not remove the templates without having provided any. --LjL (talk) 22:16, 13 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

After the above warnings and our unproductive discussion on my talk page, I have reported you to the Administrator's Noticeboard for Incidents. --LjL (talk) 22:41, 13 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

References would be a big help. Has it made the "charts" in any country ore region? Pustelnik (talk) 10:51, 14 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I see that you have used "Ismael Carmona García's dictionary" as a source several times, for instance in Extremaduran language.

That is not the proper way to cite a work: what's the work's title? When was it published? What's its ISBN? With the few information that you gave, I cannot pinpoint the work even on Google. Please provide more specific information, most importantly the ISBN. --LjL (talk) 13:42, 19 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Tengo un libro sobre las lenguas y dialectos de la peninsula ibérica y las americas (Variation and Change in Spanish por Ralph Penny), y creo que trata del extremeño. Puedo comprobar, y ver si hay información que podemos añadir al artículo. Y éste podría ser una buena referencia--Penny es uno de los lingüistas más respetados de ellos que trabajan con las lenguas romances. Aunque no sé lo próxima vez que puedo postear en Wikipedia. (Disculpa si cometí errores en mi castellano).

I have a book on the languages and dialects of the Iberian Peninsula and Latin America (Variation and Change in Spanish by Ralph Penny), and I think it covers Extremaduran. I can check, though, and see if there's more information there we can add to the article. And this could make a good reference--Penny's one of the most respected linguists working with Romance languages. Although I'm not sure when I'll be able to post on Wikipedia. --Miskwito (talk) 21:34, 19 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

There has been a formal discussion about deleting the article La posada de los muertos. The result of the discussion was that the article was redirected to Finisterra (album).

The same article had been previously nominated for speedy delection and accordingly deleted; however, you restored it.

Now you have restored it again; however, this goes against the result of the discussion, so I formally request that you refrain from restoring this or other AfD-redirected or AfD-deleted articles in the future. Doing otherwise will lead to a formal complaint against you.

(I'd also like to note that you have chosen not to partecipate in the AfD discussion, only to then single-handedly restore the article after its decision; that is not acceptable behavior.)

I know that you have trouble understanding English; please, use Google Translate or similar tools to have the meaning of this message clear - Yo sé que no entiendes inglés muy bien; por favor, usa Google Translate u otros sitios por comprender este mensaje claramente.

Traduciendo: Ha habido una discusión formal sobre el borrado del artículo La posada de los muertos. El resultado de la discusión fue redireccionarlo al articulo madre Finisterra (album). El articulo ha sido borrado previamente y tu lo recreaste. Ahora lo volvíste a restorar una segunda vez, pero eso va en contra de la decision tomado, y formalmente te pido que ya no recreas este u otro articulo que haya sido borrado despues de una discusion en el foro WP:AfD. Si sigues recreando ariculos borrados sin consensus se va a tnere que hacer una queja formal en contra tuya.

(tambien quiero hacer nota de que hayas decido no participar en la discusión del borrado del artículo, pero que a la vez lo sencillamente lo recreaste en contra de la decision tomada. Eso no es comportamiento aceptable.) ·Maunus·ƛ· 23:46, 4 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yo te pido lo mismo también. Si sigues restaurando solo vas a conseguir que te bloqueen, y no podrás hacer cosas en otros artículos que te interese editar. El AFD ya cerró como redirección y, viendo la discusión y el artículo, veo díficil que puedas conseguir otro resultado. Me parece que "la posada de los muertos" se va a tener que quedar así. --Enric Naval (talk) 12:09, 5 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia makes decision based on consensus. I judged that the consensus at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/La posada de los muertos was to redirect the article. If you think I am wrong, you can challenge the decision at Deletion review. But do not try to impose your will upon your fellow editors by restoring the article again yourself, or you will be blocked from contributing.  Skomorokh  19:43, 4 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Traduciendo: En Wikipedia se toman las decisiones basado en el consensus. Yo (Skomorokh) estimé que el consensus en Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/La posada de los muertos era redireccionar el artículo. Si piensas que estoy equivocado puedes desafiar la decision en la revisión de borrados. Pero no intentas imponer tu voluntad a los demás usuarios recreando vez tras vez el artículo. Al contrario serás bloqueado de editar wikipedia. ·Maunus·ƛ· 23:51, 4 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. I am sorry for the misunderstanding, and have fixed the redirect. Adios,  Skomorokh  16:03, 6 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

A tag has been placed on Portal:Language/Language of the month/September 2009, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to have no meaningful content or history, and the text is unsalvageably incoherent. If the page you created was a test, please use the sandbox for any other experiments you would like to do. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard. Feel free to leave a message on my talk page if you have any questions about this.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Hi

I have proposed that Category:Dialects of Portuguese in Spain, which you created, should be merged to other categories. See the discussion Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2009 December 31#Category:Dialects_of_Portuguese_in_Spain, where your comments would be welcome. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 17:53, 31 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but your recent edit removed content from Lucas Sam. When removing text, please specify a reason in the edit summary and discuss edits that are likely to be controversial on the article's talk page. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the text has been restored, as you can see from the page history. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia, and if you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you. Speedy Deletion will take care of the content, no need to blank. MWOAP (talk) 19:49, 2 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on International Phonetic Alphabet. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24-hour period. Additionally, users who perform several reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. When in dispute with another editor you should first try to discuss controversial changes to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. Should that prove unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection. Please stop the disruption, otherwise you may be blocked from editing. rʨanaɢ ^talk/_contribs 01:25, 9 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

You added the {{Refimprove}} template at Romanian language and Moldovan language, although both articles cite quite a large number of sources. It would be much more constructive if you could point out precisely what statements you feel might need additional references, or at least you should place the template (or a similar one) at specific sections. Otherwise, the editors don't know where to help and our readers are mislead to think the articles have sourcing problems as a whole, which certainly is not the case. — AdiJapan 05:46, 19 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The article Ritmo del ghetto has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

A7 -- lacks sufficient indicia of notability

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Epeefleche (talk) 05:17, 19 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. The 18th edition of Ethnologue just came out, and if we divide up our language articles among us, it won't take long to update them. I would appreciate it if you could help out, even if it's just a few articles (5,000 articles is a lot for just me), but I won't be insulted if you delete this request.

A largely complete list of articles to be updated is at Category:Language articles citing Ethnologue 17. The priority articles are in Category:Language articles with old Ethnologue 17 speaker data. These are the 10% that have population figures at least 25 years old.

Probably 90% of the time, Ethnologue has not changed their figures between the 17th and 18th editions, so all we need to do is change "e17" to "e18" in the reference (ref) field of the language info box. That will change the citation for the artcle to the current edition. Please put the data in the proper fields, or the info box will flag it as needing editorial review. The other relevant fields are "speakers" (the number of native speakers in all countries), "date" (the date of the reference or census that Ethnologue uses, not the date of Ethnologue!), and sometimes "speakers2". Our convention has been to enter e.g. "1990 census" when a census is used, as other data can be much older than the publication date. Sometimes a citation elsewhere in the article depends on the e17 entry, in which case you will need to change "name=e17" to "name=e18" in the reference tag (assuming the 18th edition still supports the cited claim).

Remember, we want the *total* number of native speakers, which is often not the first figure given by Ethnologue. Sometimes the data is too incompatible to add together (e.g. a figure from the 1950s for one country, and a figure from 2006 for another), in which case it should be presented that way. That's one use for the "speakers2" field. If you're not sure, just ask, or skip that article.

Data should not be displayed with more than two, or at most three, significant figures. Sometimes it should be rounded off to just one significant figure, e.g. when some of the component data used by Ethnologue has been approximated with one figure (200,000, 3 million, etc.) and the other data has greater precision. For example, a figure of 200,000 for one country and 4,230 for another is really just 200,000 in total, as the 4,230 is within the margin of rounding off in the 200,000. If you want to retain the spurious precision of the number in Ethnologue, you might want to use the {{sigfig}} template. (First parameter in this template is for the data, second is for the number of figures to round it off to.)

Dates will often need to be a range of all the country data in the Ethnologue article. When entering the date range, I often ignore dates from countries that have only a few percent of the population, as often 10% or so of the population isn't even separately listed by Ethnologue and so is undated anyway.

If Ethnologue does not provide a date for the bulk of the population, just enter "no date" in the date field. But if the population figure is undated, and hasn't changed between the 17th & 18th editions of Ethnologue, please leave the ref field set to "e17", and maybe add a comment to keep it so that other editors don't change it. In cases like this, the edition of Ethnologue that the data first appeared in may be our only indication of how old it is. We still cite the 14th edition in a couple dozen articles, so our readers can see that the data is getting old.

The articles in the categories linked above are over 90% of the job. There are probably also articles that do not currently cite Ethnologue, but which we might want to update with the 18th edition. I'll need to generate another category to capture those, probably after most of the Ethnologue 17 citations are taken care of.

Jump in at the WP:LANG talk page if you have any comments or concerns. Thanks for any help you can give!
