I think you missed a word

In this edit at Hausa language, the user cited Ahmadu Bello University, not a "who" named Ahmadu Bello. I don't have a specific citation, but ABU does have a Department of African Languages and Culture. Largoplazo (talk) 17:39, 24 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I just checked that source and it is definitely not reliable as a source. The figures seem exagerated. '120 million Hausa speakers in Nigeria'? The total population of Nigeria is close to 230 million people and Hausas only make up 30.5% of the total Nigerian population, that is definitely not 120 million.

Repetitive Issues continuing on the Amhara page

The user "ZaDengel", is continuing their edits on Amhara being native to "ancient Middle East" and despite the fact they have received warnings for this, one of them by you, they are still continuing, and it doesn't look like these edits are gonna stop at all. Based on their older edits on the page, it seemed they are adding Amhara are "Middle Eastern" simply because they are a Semitic-speaking ethnic group, even though being Middle Eastern isn't based off speaking a Semitic language but based on being from Western Asia. Should something be done about these edits? Starlife888999 (talk) 23:42, 24 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Korean language romanization

Hello, I'm TheInfernoX. This is regarding the Korean language article. Not sure if you're aware of this, but the stance for the Revised Romanization of topics related to South Korean names has been to romanize it based on actual-native speaker pronunciation with sound change rules applied (i.e., A native speaker will pronounce it as Han-gu-geo / Han-gu-keo), instead of the block-by-block word as written on paper (i.e., The word written as Han-guk-eo). This is my reasoning for my reverts on your contributions and is the official stance on MOS:KO. Many thanks! TheInfernoX (talk) 04:41, 26 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Your reverts were undone because they wrote it as 'Hangukeo' if you had written it as 'Han-gu-keo' I would have not undone it. Cookiemonster1618 (talk) 04:50, 26 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Please note that the use of hyphenation is officially discouraged in RR for natural reading flow. This is also true for Korean romanization in infoboxes and templates as per WP:KO-STRICT. Do see the WP:ROMANKO essay for the explanation of why this is done. Thanks. TheInfernoX (talk) 05:07, 26 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
