Hey, Arctic Circle System. Just one little thing for your information: the meaning of "minor edit" is a little more narrow than you might think. Any edit that that adds or removes content, or otherwise significantly changes the meaning of an article, is not really considered "minor". Types of edit for which it is considered appropriate to check the "minor edit" box are listed here. Please try to keep this in mind in the future - in particular, when you add an entry to a list or table, please do not mark the edit as minor. If you have any questions for me, feel free to ask them. Kind regards from PJvanMill)talk( 14:43, 24 January 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

My apologies, will keep that in mind for the future. ~Nai of Arctic Circle System (talk) 06:24, 25 January 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Re My apologies: it's not a problem :). It's really only a little thing, and you can't know everything in advance. Wikipedia's policy, guideline and information pages are a lot, so everyone learns over time as they go.

One other thing you might not be aware of is notifying people. In this case I saw your reply because I put your talk page on my watchlist, but otherwise I would not have seen it. You can notify someone by linking to their user page in your comment, known as "pinging" them - specifics here. You can also use a template like ((ping)) for this, as demonstrated by HiLo48 above. I should note that some editors have receiving pings turned off in their settings; the most reliable way to get someone's attention is to make a post on their user talk page. Kind regards from PJvanMill)talk( 13:02, 25 January 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

@PJvanMill: Thank you! I will use that in the future. For now we're gonna go ask about the fate of the Europe section of List of indigenous peoples on the talk page, because that got removed fairly recently because it was a mess and while we know for sure there are certain groups that need to be readded (like the Sámi and Pavee), there are others that we need to do further research into to see if there are reliable sources that consider them to be Indigenous peoples (which gets hard in situations where many sources on any given ethnic group are not in English) and we really don't want to make changes to the article without checking in. ~Nai of Arctic Circle System (talk) 13:21, 25 January 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Hey, Arctic Circle System. That sounds like a good plan, and I hope you'll get some discussion going. Do note though that sometimes, a talk page post can go without reply for ages... It is not often a necessity to discuss an edit before making it, and for a change that seems like a clear improvement, it is usually good to "be bold". At the same time, in areas where one has little experience, it is wise to be a bit cautious. Kind regards from PJvanMill)talk( 00:04, 26 January 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Thanks, while it was a user essay and not policy or guideline, it was certainly enlightening. So, as long as you agree with Tamzin that the account is responsible for the on-Wiki behavior of all the members of the plurality, I don't have a problem with it. Since you appear to open about your state as a plural system, I wonder if it makes sense to disclose it on your userpage so this conversation doesn't have to be repeated with other editors in the future.

Hello, I noticed you deleted a series of external links with edit summaries of "Removed unreliable fringe source"[1][2][3] (and there seem to be more in your edit history). Please note that EL's are not sources, they are further reading, and as such they would normally contain a link to a text in question (the Varo Edition) and even an unreliable website falls under WP:ELMAYBE. Fountains of Bryn Mawr (talk) 12:42, 13 May 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

My apologies, we probably should've clarified a bit better in our edit summaries. We were removing those links because the site in question is known to spread pseudoscience and conspiracy theories and we wanted to clear those off of the site. ~Opal of Arctic Circle System (talk) 02:49, 14 May 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

@Fountains of Bryn Mawr: Whoops, forgot to ping you! Would it be okay to redo those edits with better edit summaries? I'm not sure how to handle this, all I know is that this site is known to spread a whole bunch of bullshit. ~Nai of Arctic Circle System (talk) 21:06, 14 May 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Its not normal practice to simply delete website links or fringe content just because they are fringe (see WP:FRINGE). Its a judgment call as to what should be included and what is being cited. If we are talking about re-posted valid source documents that a Wikipedia editor linked to show a full version of the document, instead of a link to opinions or content created by the website author, that should not normally be removed. Fountains of Bryn Mawr (talk) 16:40, 15 May 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Did you mean to make this an AfC draft? I dream of horses (Contribs) (Talk) 07:17, 8 October 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

@I dream of horses: It was originally an AfC draft, but we were having trouble keeping up the motivation to work on it (mental health is hard), so we moved it to Userspace so that it wouldn't get deleted because we didn't want our work on it to be erased after 60 days. ~Cherri of Arctic Circle System (talk) 07:26, 8 October 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

I wonder if this is a choice particularly made for that article, or if you intend to apply it to other language family articles as well? Personally, I am a big fan of "what you see is what you get", and I am afraid that many technically not so versed editors will have a hard time handling these parameters of the infobox. In the case of Vasconic languages though, I wouldn't be unhappy if your move helps to deter drive-by edits that want to include Iberian :) Austronesier (talk) 21:02, 12 October 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

@Austronesier: I've been replacing other language family links with Wikidata templates as well as apparently it's more convenient for data queries and easier to update across languages, so I've heard. I'm not too technically versed in all honesty, so I'm not sure how true that is, but that's what we've been told. ~Red of Arctic Circle System (talk) 23:21, 12 October 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

I still believe that it's not helpful for the average editor when you introduce opaque code in the infobox, as you have done again here[4]. Is it ok for you if I bring it up in WT:LANG? –Austronesier (talk) 18:11, 13 November 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Hi there, per WP:DIFFUSE, if an article is in a subcategory, you should avoid placing it additionally in the parent category. Mutt Lunker (talk) 11:37, 10 November 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Hello, you have been inserting references to an alleged subcategory called East Swedic. This is not a commonly accepted category in academia. In fact, I cannot find it anywhere outside Glottolog which, while useful, is not peer-reviewed. At Wikipedia, we typically go with the mainstream academic view. Jeppiz (talk) 21:58, 13 November 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

I was told Glottolog was a reliable source. What happened? ~Red of Arctic Circle System (talk) 22:01, 13 November 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

@Jeppiz: Forgot to ping again. ~Red of Arctic Circle System (talk) 22:02, 13 November 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Glottolog is generally reliable. No source is always right on everything. Language classification is a well-studied topic, especially for European languages. If Glottolog (or any other source) is alone in suggesting a category, there is reason to be cautious. Jeppiz (talk) 22:06, 13 November 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

@Jeppiz: Are there any other sources we can use? It's difficult to find reliable sources on classification via Google Scholar that aren't either paywalled and can't be found elsewhere, or written in a way that's confusing to a layperson. I'm also not entirely sure how to check for predatory publishing and such. I don't know if I'm just not using the right search terms to get Google Scholar to spit out the results I need or what. It's very confusing... ~Red of Arctic Circle System (talk) Arctic Circle System (talk) 22:28, 13 November 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

@Red: There is no source that contains a comprehensive classification similar to the one found in Glottolog. This is the very reason why Harald Hammarström constructs the Glottolog classification based on multiple sources. The three branches of North Germanic are based on Bandle (1973), and also for the internal classification of North Scandinavian, Glottolog largely follows Bandle (who posits Nordskandinavisch (im engern Sinn) 'North Scandinavian (in a narrow sense)', Ostschwedisch 'East Swedish', and Götisch 'Gutinsh'). The interal classification of Glottolog's "East Swedic" is supposed to follow Rendahl (2001), although frankly I have a hard time to see how the information in Rendahl (2001) matches Hammarström's classification. Btw, it is a pity to see the undersourced state of the "Classification" sections in Germanic language articles (e.g. North_Germanic_languages#Family_tree). @Jeppiz: Are you aware of a introductory, yet comprehensive source about this topic? –Austronesier (talk) 22:40, 14 November 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

@Austronesier: and @Arctic Circle System: I took a look at Glottolog's classification for North Germanic and... It's ridiculously bad. That 'alleged' classification would lead a student handing it in to receive an F. There are so many obvious errors that it's hard to know where to start (and I don't intend to provide a full list of glaring errors), but classifying 'Old East Norse' under 'West Scandinavian' (and hence in a different group to Swedish and Danish) is perhaps the worst. I also struggle to understand what 'Archaic Finnish Swedish' means. Again, there are many more errors. Just for fun, I took a look at some other language groups at Glottolog, and it's even worse. Suggesting that the two divisions of Scottish Gaelic are Church Gaelic and East Sutherlandshire Gaelic is straight out "flat earth"'level. Equally ridiculous nonsense for the Romance languages, where Glottolog pretends that Romanian and Tuscan Italian (two entirely separate languages) are more similar than Tuscan and Corsican (a Tuscan dialect). Arctic Circle System's talk page is not the right place, but I would be inclined to move that Glottolog should be classified as an unreliable source and not be allowed to use on Wikipedia for any language. I struggle to find a language group for which it is correct. Jeppiz (talk) 19:24, 15 November 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

@Jeppiz: I think what they mean with "Archaic Finnish Swedish" is that some archaic dialects of Finnish Swedish have less mutual intelligibility with other varieties of Swedish than other Finnish Swedish dialects? I don't know how true that is, but I think that's what they're saying. ~Red of Arctic Circle System (talk) 09:09, 16 November 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

It appears you're on a campaign to reclassify all Northern Germanic languages and dialects, based exclusively on Glottolog. This is not helpful!. Once again, Wikipedia follows mainstream academia. If linguistic categories are found only on Glottolog, they should not be introduced here. Please take this as a mild warning that your reclassification spree, while no doubt well-intended, starts to look a bit disruptive. Can I suggest you use article talk pages to gain consensus before introducing new linguistic classifications to languages. Jeppiz (talk) 22:04, 13 November 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

As said above: Glottolog is good but not perfect. Whenever Glottolog is alone in suggesting something, it might be to early to introduce it on WP. We prefer academic consensus. Again, I have no doubt your edits are made with the best of intentions. Jeppiz (talk) 22:08, 13 November 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Please stop your disruptive editing.

• If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page, and seek consensus with them. Alternatively you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant noticeboards.
• If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.

If you continue to disrupt Wikipedia, you may be blocked from editing. Jeppiz (talk) 23:07, 2 December 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Unfortunately it is getting to assume good faith in light of your latest blatant edit warring. You were told very clearly in November not to go around changing language classifications based on Glottolog. Today, not only do you do exactly that, you also engage in edit warring across multiple articles. Please self-revert. Any further disruptions to language classifications will be taken to ANI with a request that you be topic banned from editing articles related to linguistics. Several users with knowledge of linguistics have pointed out to you the problems with your edits. Please WP:LISTEN. Jeppiz (talk) 23:13, 2 December 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

@Jeppiz: As I have mentioned in my recent edit summaries, the main thing I got from Glottolog in this case is a language family name. The concept of a language family consisting of English and its descendants is not unheard of. See World Englishes. ~Red of Arctic Circle System (talk) 23:29, 2 December 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Arctic Circle System, you've been edit warring with numerous users across more then articles, warned by @Austronesier:, @BilCat: and myself, yet you still persist. World Englishes is not a language family, that is just your own misinterpretation that you then insert all across Wikipedia in violation WP policies, most notably WP:OR. Jeppiz (talk) 01:17, 3 December 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

I haven't been reverting anything since I saw your first talk page message. You can check our edit history for evidence of that. As for what you're saying about World Englishes not being a language family, the article states that World Englishes are "emerging localised or indigenised varieties of English", and it goes on to elaborate that pidgins, creoles, and mixed languages are included (though it seems to contradict itself as to whether they have partial membership, or full membership in multiple language families, ehich is rather confusing). Considering that English, as well as English-based creoles, pidgins, and mixed languages are in fact languages, I don't understand how one could possibly say that a term encompassing them all isn't referring to a group of languages. ~Red of Arctic Circle System (talk) 01:53, 3 December 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Hiberno-English. This means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be although other editors disagree. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus, rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Points to note:

1. Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made;
2. Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes and work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. BilCat (talk) 00:52, 3 December 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

@BilCat: I reverted on Hiberno-English and a few other related pages one time, and explained my reasoning in the edit summary. I do not plan on reverting again until this is settled. I am open to discussion about and criticism of our edits, but I would appreciate not being repeatedly accused of things we didn't do even after I explained we didn't do those things. It is very frustrating. ~Red of Arctic Circle System (talk) 01:33, 3 December 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Regarding your edits on the subdivision section of Sinitic languages, why did you separate Min and Ba-Shu (if it even can be that well classified) from the rest of Sinitic? As far as I’m aware, this subdivision section is in regards to Sino-Bai rather than micro-Sinitic; Macro-Bai is not a descendant of Old Chinese, but Min is and Shu should as well. Pullyblank, Norman, and Sagart as far as I’m aware classify Min as not a parallel branch to Bai, and definitely a group of Chinese languages. If we want to go for a CDC-rest of Sinitic split, we should use some label other than “Chinese” ND381 (talk) 10:15, 6 November 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Common Dialectal Chinese. A reconstruction of what all the Middle Chinese-descended Sinitic languages' origin would have been like, created by Jerry Norman, so it's less what the Tang Dynasty drunk people said and more actual linguistics ND381 (talk) 13:06, 6 November 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

@ND381: Oh, that makes sense. I do agree with you on that, I was just going with the labels Wikipedia had at the time. My line of thought was that since Min split off from Old Chinese and Greater Bai is sometimes included on the basis of it possibly being an early split from Old Chinese, then Min would also be a top-level branch of Sinitic, though I wasn't sure what to put for branches that split off from Eastern Han or Middle Chinese (not sure if any split off from Eastern Han specifically rather than Old or Middle Chinese, I'm just covering my bases here). I'm also not certain of the nature of the theorized relationship between Greater Bai and the Chinese languages, whether Greater Bai is considered a top-level branch alongside Ba-Shu, Min, and CDC (and possibly Waxiang if Hammarström et al are to be believed) or if the proposed split is a two-way split between Greater Bai and the Chinese languages, with Ba-Shu, Min, and CDC being top-level branches of the latter. I suppose I'll have to read more on what Jerry Norman said on the subject. Arctic Circle System (talk) 13:58, 6 November 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Perhaps something along the lines of

• Chinese
  • Min
  • Extinct Sinitic (no need to specify Bashu, there are many other extinct Sinitic languages that existed around the time Bashu was a thing)
  • Waxiang (?)
  • Middle Chinese
    • Other Sinitic
• Greater Bai (?)

could be better. Or we could just only list Chinese and Bai, and leave the subdivisions under Chinese in the Varieties of Chinese page ND381 (talk) 17:37, 6 November 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

@ND381: Perhaps, though I do have to ask if you have any sources for a two-way phylogenetic split between Chinese and Greater Bai, rather than a phylogenetic split between Greater Bai, Common Dialectical Chinese, and non-CDC Chinese (non-CDC Chinese is not a phylogenetic group, I just don't feel like typing out the other branches)? Arctic Circle System (talk) 19:29, 6 November 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

@ND381: I see. Would you be able to add that information to the infobox for Sinitic languages? I don't have access to many Chinese-language papers so I can't find information needed for citations that easily. I can add it to other pages from there. I'd also like to know if there's a common name for the branch of the Chinese languages that split from CDC/Late Middle Chinese rather than Old Chinese that I should use for the name of that branch in infoboxes (preferably one that's commonly used in English-language sources).
