Hello. Your link on reference [1] doesn't work. please fix, thanks. KurtR (talk) 00:45, 20 April 2022 (UTC)
Certain "elements" seem to have taken an interest in the article. They seem to be very concerned about Russia's reputation.
I would find numerous Wikipedia editors with long histories and ask them to come over and work on the article.
Or at least keep it on "Watch" in their accounts.

Russia claimed the Bucha bodies were placed after the Russian Army left.
The satellite images proved this claim to be false-- and that the bodies were there when the Russians were there.
BBC News agreed that Maxar's satellite imagery from 19 March showed body-like objects in the same positions that corpses were filmed in the 1 April video, contradicting Russian claims of the corpses being "staged" after Russia's departure.[65]

Hi. I just wanted to check in with the rewrite of the "Latin phonology and orthography" article, since you said on Talk:Latin phonology and orthography that you'd have a read through Cser 2020[1] and make an appropriate summary of the content. Since it's been a bit over two months since you lasted posted that message on the talk page (and you don't seem to have edited Latin phonology and orthography, as far as I can tell), I'd just like to ask how the summary is coming along. If you've been busy/not so great IRL and haven't really had the time to work on the summary, just let me know in vague terms – I can wait :)

Please revert your recent unilateral changes to transcriptions of Georgian. As Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Pronunciation#Other languages says, if the language you're transcribing has such an IPA key, use the conventions of that key. If you wish to change those conventions, bring it up for discussion on the key's talk page. Creating transcriptions unsupported by the key or changing the key so that it no longer conforms to existing transcriptions will confuse readers.

Until a few days ago, Proto-Romance words were shown with an IPA-derived which showed the lax/tense vowel distinction, stress position, palatalized consonants and more. However, you recently replaced these with a script that's based on the Latin spellings of these words. I suspect the reason you made this change was to make the derivation of each Proto-Romance word from its Latin counterpart more obvious, however, it removes distinctions that are important for the examples.
For example, the word "soror (nom.)/sororem (acc.)" is given as an example of the way stress mobile between cases in some words. However, when they're written like this, it's not obvious at all where the stress is in each form, especially for those with less familiarity with Latin. The previous script, "sɔ́ror (nom.)/soróre (acc.)" makes this distinction obvious.
More importantly, I feel that this IPA-derived script actually tells you how the words were pronounced. While a reader could theoretically look at each Latin-script Proto-Rom word, and derive the reconstructed pronunciation by running thru the phonology section, I think that this is unrealistic.
I do however understand the utility of making the Latin form explicit, so I propose a compromise: Use the IPA derived script, but show the Latin ancestor too, with a link to Wiktionary, so that the full, "original" Latin inflection can be seen. Here's an example of what I'm imagining (the exact format could be changed; the Latin lemma might be better at the top?)
Number | SG | ||||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
NOM | ɔ́mo | pástor | sɔ́ror | ||||
ACC | ɔ́mɪne | pastóre | soróre | ||||
GEN-DAT | ɔ́mɪni | pastóri | soróri | ||||
Latin lemma | homo | pastor | soror | ||||
Translation | "man" | "pastor" | "sister" |
I think this a nice solution that best shows both the Proto-Romance pronunciation and the Latin words that they're derived from, without introducing too much clutter. 2001:8003:B049:DD01:870:6391:2949:91A1 (talk) 08:25, 31 October 2023 (UTC)
