Hi. We use the International Phonetic Alphabet for pronunciations on Wikipedia -- especially when they're labeled as "IPA"! Please don't convert to an idiosyncratic convention with the claim that you're "fixing" it. Thanks. It looks like I have a lot of your work to revert... — kwami (talk) 06:02, 6 April 2021 (UTC)
Sure. IPA ɲ itself is used inconsistently, often for nʲ. There are also underlined vowels. I would appreciate it if you could clarify what those mean as well. — kwami (talk) 01:30, 10 April 2021 (UTC)
Thanks. That should be in the key as well. — kwami (talk) 01:37, 10 April 2021 (UTC)
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Vietic languages, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Tho language. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Hello! Voting in the 2022 Arbitration Committee elections is now open until 23:59 (UTC) on Monday, 12 December 2022. All eligible users are allowed to vote. Users with alternate accounts may only vote once.
The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to impose binding solutions to disputes between editors, primarily for serious conduct disputes the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the authority to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail.
If you wish to participate in the 2022 election, please review the candidates and submit your choices on the voting page. If you no longer wish to receive these messages, you may add ((NoACEMM))

Hi. Sinological consonants and vowels are acceptable if explained, because they're fairly intuitive, but the digits need to be replaced, because otherwise they are unintelligible (e.g. is 1 or 5 high tone?). There's no issue with conversion here, as there's a 1-to-1 correlation with the IPA. As for Sinologists not being able to read IPA, that's really their problem. We can't pander like this when our audience is global. — kwami (talk) 07:32, 11 April 2023 (UTC)

Hi Lingnanhua, I just wanted to let you know that I have added the autopatrolled user right to your account. This means that pages you create will automatically be marked as 'reviewed', and no longer appear in the new pages feed. Autopatrolled is assigned to prolific creators of articles, where those articles do not require further review, and may have been requested on your behalf by someone else. It doesn't affect how you edit; it is used only to manage the workload of new page patrollers.
Since the articles you create will no longer be systematically reviewed by other editors, it is important that you maintain the high standard you have achieved so far in all your future creations. Please also try to remember to add relevant WikiProject templates, stub tags, categories, and incoming links to them, if you aren't already in the habit; user scripts such as Rater and StubSorter can help with this. As you have already shown that you have a strong grasp of Wikipedia's core content policies, you might also consider volunteering to become a new page patroller yourself, helping to uphold the project's standards and encourage other good faith article writers.
Feel free to leave me a message if you have any questions. Happy editing! – Joe (talk) 09:16, 14 June 2023 (UTC)
Hi,
The current orthography at Jingpo language is odd, from an unreliable editor and unsourced. (Though it's not clear what the previous orthography was supposed to be either.) Are you familiar with the situation, or have access to confirming sources? Voiced letters for voiceless consonants is common enough, but going on to use voiceless letters for voiced consonants is weird. I haven't been able to find anything to confirm.
