I've created Terra Ignota (series) to cover the entire set of four books, as I didn't think it proper to repeat the worldbuilding and setting information in each book. There might be an argument to split off individual novel pages from a single page about the series as a whole if it gets too long, but I don't think that argument will carry much weight until the fourth book is out. I'm sorry to step on your toes, but you've not edited the page in a week, so I assume that means you're not able to at the moment. I welcome your help in writing the page.

@ACB Smith:Fair enough, thanks for letting me know! I was just about to go take the construction template down anyways since I realised it had been a while.James Hyett (talk) 23:26, 2 January 2018 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Hello James Hyett! Thanks for the hard work you have been doing in the leadup to the 2018 election! If you need help with anything, let me know! :) Bkissin (talk) 16:00, 22 May 2018 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Here's wishing you a belated welcome to Wikipedia, James Hyett. I see that you've already been around a while and wanted to thank you for your contributions. Though you seem to have been successful in finding your way around, you may benefit from following some of the links below, which help editors get the most out of Wikipedia:

• Introduction
• The five pillars of Wikipedia
• Contributing to Wikipedia
• How to edit a page
• Help pages
• How to write a great article
• Editor's index to Wikipedia

Also, when you post on talk pages you should sign your name using four tildes (~~~~); that should automatically produce your username and the date after your post.

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! If you have any questions, feel free to leave me a message on my talk page, consult Wikipedia:Questions, or place ((helpme)) on your talk page and ask your question there.

Again, welcome! OhKayeSierra (talk) 23:02, 23 May 2018 (UTC)Reply[reply]

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!

The article The Mayor of Garret has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Unsourced plot-only article, and does not appear to be notable.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages 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 page to address the issues raised. Removing ((proposed deletion/dated)) will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. MoonyTheDwarf (Braden N.)

Thank you for your edits at Delgamuukw v British Columbia. I'll also be continuing to help improve the article and other related articles, so I was wondering about your decision to switch the straight apostrophes to curly apostrophes. Is this a significant distinction that warrants deviating from MOS:'? Sancho 21:25, 8 March 2020 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Hey there! The apostrophes indicate (erroneously in the first case, but it is the accepted spelling) that the t's are actually Ejective consonants (ie [tʼ]) which are represented with curly apostrophes in the IPA and writing systems that use them, such as that of the Babine-Witsuwitʼen language. I admit I had overlooked that section of MOS, and I wonder if there might be a discussion somewhere regarding ejective consonants and the use of curly apostrophes... In fact, I've just noticed that even in the first line of that page there is inconsistency! James Hyett (talk) 15:21, 9 March 2020 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Hello! How did you learn that David J. Peterson had created a language for Lovecraft Country? I couldn't find anything to confirm this, so I asked him and he just told me "I will tell you that I did indeed work on that show, but I’m afraid I’m not ever going to talk about it beyond that", so how did you know he worked on this show? G. H. Wojnicz (talk) 19:31, 22 October 2020 (UTC)Reply[reply]

@G. H. Wojnicz: Hiya! Sorry, I probably should have provided a reference for that, but I am not entirely clear on how to cite end credits! I noticed he was credited in the final episode as "Language of Adam" Consultant or something along those lines. James Hyett (talk) 19:51, 22 October 2020 (UTC)Reply[reply]

@James Hyett: Thank you. I asked Peterson if he had indeed worked on the show, he said "I will tell you that I did indeed work on that show, but I’m afraid I’m not ever going to talk about it beyond that. Let’s just say I rather people not know I worked on the show, but won’t go so far as to lie and say I didn’t." I've no idea why, but since he's not willing to talk about this experience, I was just wondering how you had heard about it. G. H. Wojnicz (talk) 20:15, 22 October 2020 (UTC)Reply[reply]

@G. H. Wojnicz: Wow, that's interesting to know. Thanks for checking in. James Hyett (talk) 20:33, 22 October 2020 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Bearcat was:

This submission is not adequately supported by reliable sources. Reliable sources are required so that information can be verified. If you need help with referencing, please see Referencing for beginners and Citing sources.

 The comment the reviewer left was:

This is referenced far, far too heavily to primary and unreliable sources that are not support for notability at all: content self-published by the festival itself, the city government, the city tourist bureau, the Kingston Theatre Association or individual people who've been associated with it; blogs and university student media. While there is some proper WP:GNG-worthy media coverage from the Kingston Whig-Standard sprinkled in, the rule isn't that as long as there are a few proper media sources in the mix the article can be based mostly on bad ones; it's that the article needs to be based entirely on media coverage with bad sourcing kept to an absolute minimum.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit after they have been resolved.

• If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:The Kick & Push Festival and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
• If you do not edit your draft in the next 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
• If you need any assistance, or have experienced any untoward behavior associated with this submission, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk, on the reviewer's talk page or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.
