Hello, I'm Megaman en m. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Lateral consonant, but you didn't provide a reliable source. Please include a citation. You can have a look at the tutorial on citing sources. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Please make sure to add the citation in the actual article, not just the edit summary! Megaman en m (talk) 22:17, 1 November 2020 (UTC)

@Megaman en m: Hi if u were talking about the [ɺ̥] sound in yavitero here is it, its phoible btw

@Megaman en m: should i added the link to the phoible page in the Lateral consonant page

That is a tertiary source, Wikipedia prefers secondary sources. Looking at that page you linked, it seems they are citing Mosonyi and Largo 2000. You should cite that as well, assuming that it covers the information you added.--Megaman en m (talk) 22:42, 1 November 2020 (UTC)

@Megaman en m: added it

Voiceless retroflex lateral flap moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Voiceless retroflex lateral flap, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page. Mccapra (talk) 20:49, 3 November 2020 (UTC)

What the IPA template is for

You seem to have misunderstood what the {{IPA}} template is all about. All that template does is enclose the input in the IPA CSS class, which allows logged-in users to specify a custom font for phonetic representations—see the template documentation on how to do it. (The class also suppresses underlines if there are links in the input and adds some semantic value.)

The templates that link phonetic symbols to relevant articles are {{IPA link}}, {{IPAblink}}, etc. For example, {{IPA link|b}} becomes "b" and {{IPAblink|p|b̥}} becomes "[b̥]". (Notice the latter links to Voiceless bilabial plosive. If you just put {{IPAblink|b̥}}, it links to Voicelessness: "[b̥]".)

Also, I think it's about time you learned how to properly link to other pages on Wikipedia—see Help:Introduction to editing with Wiki Markup/3. I'd also like you to learn how to properly cite sources if you plan to keep on contributing—see Help:Referencing for beginners. Nardog (talk) 21:41, 13 November 2020 (UTC)

Thanks i deleted them because they didnt change anything in the table like {{IPA|t͡ɕʼ} } and just plain t͡ɕʼ and you know the page would load a bit faster --AleksiB 1945 (talk) 00:35, 15 November 2020 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Austronesier. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Malayalam, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at the tutorial on citing sources. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Austronesier (talk) 09:23, 2 December 2020 (UTC)

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Marwari language. Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted. If you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. Repeated vandalism may result in the loss of editing privileges. Thank you. Austronesier (talk) 10:35, 8 December 2020 (UTC)

@Austronesier Hi, on 3/dec/2020 i copied that table from ru.WP page [1] and saved it in the en page (i'd said this and also given the link to the page in the edit summary) but you reverted it a day later and said that i needed to remove the links and delete the remaining Russian text i did that in that last edit but i didnt gave the link to that page again because i thought you'd've remember it + i also found another source for it, i could add that too AleksiB 1945 (talk) 20:06, 8 December 2020 (UTC)

Please do not add or change content, as you did at Turkmen language, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. By now you should be familiar with the necessecity to support your edits with proper citations. And before you hastily reinsert the material with citations gathered from the web, you should check whether these fulfill the criteria for WP:reliable sources. Austronesier (talk) 17:45, 15 December 2020 (UTC) (struck out warning, shouldn't be admonished for the negligence of other editors) –Austronesier (talk) 18:28, 15 December 2020 (UTC)

@Austronesier Hi, i saw that the page didnt have a phonology section and i literally copied that text from a paragraph above in the same page AleksiB 1945 (talk)

Ok, that makes thing look different. But still, when you see unsourced stuff, don't duplicate it just for the sake of having a Phonology section. But guess what, I got homework for you: here's a reliable and open-access source[2] which has material about Turkmen phonology. Go ahead and happy editing! –Austronesier (talk) 18:25, 15 December 2020 (UTC)

ok but how should i source it? just by <ref> and giving the link to that page? AleksiB 1945 (talk)

For a complete citation, you minimally need to mention author, year, title, publisher (in this case, the university). You can use the {{Cite thesis}}-template, which will put all of it into the correct format. Here's the full parameter list. For this thesis, you should use |last=, |first=, |title=, |date= (just the year), |publisher=, |degree= ("MA thesis"), |url=. –Austronesier (talk) 19:16, 15 December 2020 (UTC)

Are you sure you don't want give due credit to the author of the thesis? Mentioning the person whose work has enabled you to insert the Phonology section takes even less time than filling and formatting an IPA table. –Austronesier (talk) 20:51, 15 December 2020 (UTC)

Please do not add or change content, as you did at Danish phonology, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. Austronesier (talk) 23:47, 18 December 2020 (UTC)

Can you please exercise more care when adding citations as in this edit[3]? This looks weird, since Krishnamurti's book is not an MA thesis. –Austronesier (talk) 14:03, 21 December 2020 (UTC)

Wikipedia is not a reliable source

Wikipedia is not a reliable source. If you want to add a statement in an article to another, cite the source supporting the statement. If there is no source for the statement, then it shan't be copied. Nardog (talk) 09:13, 1 January 2021 (UTC)

Nardog, Sorry but which edit are you talking about? AleksiB 1945 (talk) 19:42, 1 January 2021 (UTC)

I'm not talking about any particular edit. Anyone who opens your contributions will find multiple edits with the summary "Source: their wiki pages". You have also cited other articles on Wikipedia as sources on other occasions such as here and here. Such arguments carry no strength on Wikipedia, as (bar few exceptions) only reliable third-party sources are regarded as satisfactory to establish verifiability and notability. Nardog (talk) 03:46, 2 January 2021 (UTC)

Hello. I have noticed that you often edit without using an edit summary. Please do your best to always fill in the summary field. This helps your fellow editors use their time more productively, rather than spending it unnecessarily scrutinizing and verifying your work. Even a short summary is better than no summary, and summaries are particularly important for large, complex, or potentially controversial edits. Thanks! Austronesier (talk) 13:37, 13 January 2021 (UTC)

And don't change flawless phoneme tables just because of your personal preferences, as you have done here,[4] and many times before. Please stop it. –Austronesier (talk) 13:39, 13 January 2021 (UTC)

@Austronesier, Its not about personal preference its just to group the central and lateral approximates and remove the useless code which doesnt change anything (it makes the page load faster) u know it makes seeing the stuff easier AleksiB 1945 (talk) 19:31, 14 January 2021 (UTC)

All what you just said is about personal preferences ("its just to group the central and lateral approximates" – why? "it makes seeing the stuff easier" – for whom?). –Austronesier (talk) 19:37, 14 January 2021 (UTC)

@Austronesier, many of those edits deletes the useless code which doesnt change anything like in [5], [6], [7] some of the pages were actually messed up like [8], [9] some are about actual corrections like adding post-alveolar/affricate etc, anything else? AleksiB 1945 (talk) 21:28, 15 January 2021 (UTC)

@Austronesier, last day i made an edit to the Labiodental ejective affricate page ([10]) and i did add 2 sources to it, can you check it? AleksiB 1945 (talk) 19:33, 14 January 2021 (UTC)

That's OTOH a substantial edit. I'll check later if it was a good one. The editor who reverted you has views about WP:N that not everybody agrees with. –Austronesier (talk) 19:41, 14 January 2021 (UTC)

@Austronesier, um have you checked it out? AleksiB 1945 (talk) 21:28, 15 January 2021 (UTC)

Renditions of the phonological charts

The reason that I keep undoing your edits to the various language pages is because they are strictly just unnecessary renditions being done to the phonological charts. Unless you have some actual useful knowledge about the information regarding the languages, then add that and make the edit, but if it is just about how the phonological charts "look", then don't do anything. Leave the charts the way they are. They are already flawlessly accurate and are in no need of changing their appearance. Fdom5997 (talk) 20:04, 14 January 2021 (UTC)

@Fdom5997, Many of those isnt just about the "looks" of the many of those edits deletes the useless code which doesnt change anything like in [11], [12], [13] some of the pages were actually messed up like [14], [15] some are about actual corrections like adding post-alveolar/affricate etc, anything else? AleksiB 1945 (talk) 21:41, 14 January 2021 (UTC)

@Fdom5997, um?

@AleksiB 1945 It does not matter if those codes don't change anything. They are not useless, they are their for better organization of the charts, so they were put there for a reason. Those other pages with the charts you showed here, are not "messed up", they were made flawlessly. Just leave the charts alone, and stop messing around with them please. Fdom5997 (talk) 04:13, 17 January 2021 (UTC)

May 2021

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on China. 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. intforce (talk) 19:52, 19 May 2021 (UTC)

Wikipedia and copyright

Hello AleksiB 1945! Your additions to Ravula language have been removed in whole or in part, as they appear to have added copyrighted content without evidence that the source material is in the public domain or has been released by its owner or legal agent under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. (To request such a release, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission.) While we appreciate your contributions to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from sources to avoid copyright and plagiarism issues.

• You can only copy/translate a small amount of a source, and you must mark what you take as a direct quotation with double quotation marks (") and cite the source using an inline citation. You can read about this at Wikipedia:Non-free content in the sections on "text". See also Help:Referencing for beginners, for how to cite sources here.
• Aside from limited quotation, you must put all information in your own words and structure, in proper paraphrase. Following the source's words too closely can create copyright problems, so it is not permitted here; see Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing. Even when using your own words, you are still, however, asked to cite your sources to verify the information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research.
• We have strict guidelines on the usage of copyrighted images. Fair use images must meet all ten of the non-free content criteria in order to be used in articles, or they will be deleted. To be used on Wikipedia, all other images must be made available under a free and open copyright license that allows commercial and derivative reuse.
• If you own the copyright to the source you want to copy or are a legally designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. Understand, though, that unlike many other sites, where a person can license their content for use there and retain non-free ownership, that is not possible at Wikipedia. Rather, the release of content must be irrevocable, to the world, into either the public domain (PD) or under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. Such a release must be done in a verifiable manner, so that the authority of the person purporting to release the copyright is evidenced. See Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.
• Also note that Wikipedia articles may not be copied or translated without attribution. If you want to copy or translate from another Wikipedia project or article, you must follow the copyright attribution steps described at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. See also Help:Translation#License requirements.

It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices, as policy requires that people who persistently do not must be blocked from editing. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. — Diannaa (talk) 14:12, 24 March 2022 (UTC)

I have restored the content. Sorry for the mistake.I have also added an attribution template to the talk page. — Diannaa (talk) 14:35, 3 May 2023 (UTC)

Dileep

Did you know that there can be two people with the name Dileep? See the film. The Dileep you are thinking of is not in the film. The guy on the left is the hero. Here is his face. This Dileep acted in the Telugu films Repallelo Radha, Jabili and the Kannada film Joke Falls and is not to be confused with the Malayalam actor. Hope you understand. Also, in the article Jabili, it says "Dileep (starred in Repallelo Radha)" indicating who he actually is. DareshMohan (talk) 09:14, 17 May 2023 (UTC)

Tamil inscriptions

Just to give you a heads up, the earliest Tamil Brahmi inscription can not predate the Maurya period (its palaeographically not possible), there must be something wrong with the carbon dating or a mixing of archaeological layers (see the criticisms by Harry Falk particularly on the calibration curves). I also suspect nationalist bias which has led to these early dates. Metta79 (talk) 11:44, 5 August 2023 (UTC)

>earliest Tamil Brahmi inscription can not predate the Maurya period (its palaeographically not possible)

@Metta79: why is it and why are you telling that to me? AleksiB 1945 (talk) 14:11, 5 August 2023 (UTC)

in some of your edits you've cited Tamil brahmi dating to 5th century BC, which is not possible.

You can read the following two papers for start:

Owners' graffiti on pottery from Tissamaharama". Zeitschrift für Archäologie Außereuropäischer Kulturen. Reichert Verlag. 6: 45–47, context: 45–94. 2014.

Copying within Wikipedia requires attribution

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from Kozhikode into Kozhikode district. While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and linking to the copied page, e.g., copied content from [[page name]]; see that page's history for attribution. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted {{copied}} template on the talk pages of the source and destination. Please provide attribution for this duplication if it has not already been supplied by another editor, and if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, you should provide attribution for that also. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. — Diannaa (talk) 15:48, 12 August 2023 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia, and thank you for your contributions. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, please note that there is a Manual of Style that should be followed to maintain a consistent, encyclopedic appearance. Deviating from this style, as you did in Rajaraja I, disturbs uniformity among articles and may cause readability or accessibility problems. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. SKAG123 (talk) 03:42, 9 September 2023 (UTC)

@SKAG123: the page doesnt mention to not add IPA for non-English words? and literally all major non-English articles have IPA transcription like in Iran, Gdańsk or Augusto_Pinochet. AleksiB 1945 (talk) 10:42, 9 September 2023 (UTC)

That's a frivolous "warning". We'd rather have decent non-English IPA transcriptions like the one added by AlexiB than bad "English" IPA transcriptions that don't adhere to the IPA key. –Austronesier (talk) 12:14, 9 September 2023 (UTC)

Deletion discussion about David Barry (jailor)

Hello AleksiB 1945, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia.

While your contributions are appreciated, I wanted to let you know that I've started a discussion about whether an article that you created, David Barry (jailor), should be deleted, as I am not sure that it is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia in its current form. Your comments are welcome at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/David Barry (jailor).

Deletion discussions usually run for seven days and are not votes. Our guide about effectively contributing to such discussions is worth a read. The most common issue in these discussions is notability, but it's not the only aspect that may be discussed; read the nomination and any other comments carefully before you contribute to the discussion. Last but not least, you are highly encouraged to continue improving the article; just be sure not to remove the tag about the deletion nomination from the top.

If you have any questions, please leave a comment here and prepend it with {{Re|LordVoldemort728}}. And don't forget to sign your reply with ~~~~ . Thanks!

On P. S. Subrahmanyam (scientist)

In this edit you introduced a claim that this individual's full name is Prakya Sreesaila Subrahmanyam. Do you have any sources or evidence for this? I think you might have confused him with the the linguist by the same initials. I can't find any evidence the aerospace scientist has this as his full name. Please advise.
