Sinhala misra table

Hi Ikiroid. I knew you were the person I had to talk to. The table formatting and the image are much better this way. We should indeed do this for the other tables as well. I found the Gurmukhī_script tables quite nice and have imitated one for the misra stops.

I do not really understand the rationale behind adding English/IPA. To quote from the talk page

• IPA should be in the description section.

This is not clear to me. IPA is used to render phonetic sounds. This article is used to illustrate the Sinhala script. There is no direct relation between the two. The relation is established by phonology, which discusses the phonetic realization of phonemes on the one hand, and the orthographic representation of phonemes by graphemes on the other hand. IPA should of course be present in Phonology of the Sinhalese Language, but not here.

To complicate matters further, <ට> represents /ʈ/, which is realized as [ʈ] before back vowels and as alveolar [t] before front vowels. This will be difficult to capture in a table.

This is the theoretical reason, but I can also add a practical one: an IPA [ʈ] will not add to the information contained in `voiceless retroflex stop´ for the people with some knowledge in linguistics. For the people without that knowledge on the other hand, the little t with the hook will not elucidate anything. They must follow the link to Retroflex anyway to understand. Jasy jatere 21:07, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

IPA is used to show which phoneme(s) is/are being represented by the character. Even if the phoneme /ʈ/ is pronounced [t] in some instances, speakers and writers still consider it /ʈ/ nevertheless. Your reference to the alien feeling of jargonized linguistic vocabulary is well taken...I don't like how difficult they are either, and I use them all the time! However, these terms are really the only thing we have to compare different writing systems. Most articles such as Arabic alphabet, Devanagari, and Pinyin contain IPA references and linguistic terms. While many readers won't immediately know the meaning of 'voiceless retroflex stop', they surely won't know the value of the letter or character at all if no description is given. The ikiroid (talk·desk·Advise me) 18:37, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

Don't you think that the transliteration columns do the very same job that a future IPA column would do? Nice work on the references BTW. Jasy jatere 18:22, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

Transliteration works well for those familiar with Indic transliteration, but the IPA serves as the international standard, and it is also the official system of wikipedia (see Wikipedia:Manual of Style (pronunciation)). Don't get me wrong, I'd like you to keep the other romanization system too, but IPA is needed. I'm planning on adding more references as well.

GR: minor edit

I see that an alien invader known only as 221.127.243.4 has moved the RCL template to the top of the article. Does this matter? Maybe it's in conformity with other similar articles. I hate to see your nice Four guys named Guo image slip down the batting order, though! Revert if you think it appropriate to do so. --NigelG (or Ndsg) | Talk 18:29, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

Hi again Nigel! I reverted it—although I'm usually using Firefox, at the moment I'm on a computer using Internet Explorer, and the template creates a huge gap between the intro and the rest of the article. Your idea of moving the template down below has proved to be a really good idea. I think it would work out better if we changed the entire RCL template altogether into a horizontal template, like the navbox for Chinese dialects. I'm not to keen on making such a huge change though, due to its current position in most articles. The ikiroid (talk·desk·Advise me) 19:04, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

Yep

Sorry, I havent been to well for a few days. Have you started the RfA yet, if you have point me in the right direction if not I will start it ASAP. Seivad 19:01, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

I have now made an initial nomination. I have informed the others. I will see what they have to say, and then I will extend mine (I kept it short to avoid treading on what they were going to say. Thanks Seivad 17:05, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

Admin coaching deletion test

In one of those tests in February you said: "I would migrate all notable information into Halo 3 and delete."

This would amount to a merge and delete which would kill the paper trail that is required for the GFDL (see WP:MERGE). At the very least you need to include the article's edit history in the edit summary or on the article talk page, but simply redirecting after a merge is easier. Please promise me you won't delete the history of merged information if you become an admin. - Mgm|^(talk) 10:31, 9 May 2007 (UTC)

Hey MacGyver, thanks for catching that one. I meant that I would merge the info and copy the history, although your idea of a redirect sounds like a better idea. I'm aware of GFDL and deletion rules, we went through a bit of a problem when First image on the Web was merged into Les Horribles Cernettes after the outcome of this AFD was split a few different ways, and the history was deleted after the merge and then restored. Anyway, thanks for the note, and cheers, The ikiroid (talk·desk·Advise me) 20:35, 9 May 2007 (UTC)

Question for you

Hi Ikiroid, question for you here in case you haven't seen it. Cheers, SlimVirgin ^(talk) 01:37, 11 May 2007 (UTC)

Hi Slim, I just got on for the first time this evening, and I saw your questions when I checked up on my RFA. It's been a long day (only 2 edits to wikipedia today!) so I apologize for not seeing this sooner. Some things in real life^TM unrelated to wiki have made me a bit stressed and exhausted, so I'm going to sleep on it and answer your question tomorrow when my mind is functioning normally (right now it's 11:00 PM here). I hope this doesn't hinder things too much! Cheers, The ikiroid (talk·desk·Advise me) 03:58, 11 May 2007 (UTC)

You're a sysop!

Hi, Ikiroid/Archive 9, Congratulations on Becoming a Sysop!

Hey there. I'm pleased to let you know that, consensus being reached, you are now an administrator! You've volunteered to do housekeeping duties that normal users sadly cannot participate in. Sysops can't do a lot of stuff: They can't delete pages just like that (except patent nonsense like "aojt9085yu8;3ou"), and they can't protect pages in an edit war they are involved in. But they can delete random junk, block anonymous vandals, delete pages listed on articles for deletion for more than 5 days (provided there's a consensus), protect pages when asked to, and keep the few protected pages that exist on Wikipedia up to date.

Almost anything you can do can be undone, but please take a look at The Administrators' how-to guide and the Administrators' reading list before you get started (although you should have read that during your candidacy ;). Take a look before experimenting with your powers. Also, please add Administrators' noticeboard to your watchlist, as there are always discussions/requests for admins there. If you have any questions drop me a message at My talk page. Have fun! =Nichalp «Talk»=
 PS Please add you name to WP:LA!

=Nichalp «Talk»= 17:25, 15 May 2007 (UTC)

Congratulations Ikiroid. Best of luck with the tools. :-) —Anas ^talk? 18:11, 15 May 2007 (UTC)

Sincere congratulations - that didn't hurt, now did it? ;-) Welcome to the mop'n'bucket team! If you ever need any advice or help, don't hesitate to ask. Cheers, Миша13 21:13, 15 May 2007 (UTC)

Hi Misza...well I must say that I'm disappointed by the lack of a cabal tab at the top of the page—and I thought admins had a secret skin that allowed them to read minds too. Oh well, guess I'll manage anyway ;-) The ikiroid (talk·desk·Advise me) 23:52, 15 May 2007 (UTC)

This word sysop: am I right in thinking it's a corruption of the first two syllables of Sisyphus? I'd be fascinated to learn what it is you actually have to do as a sysop. --NigelG (or Ndsg) | Talk 10:28, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

sysop = system operator; quite inaccurate to describe an administrator, but that's historically the name of the user group admins belong to. —Миша13 11:23, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

Turkish language

... was promoted FA a couple of weeks ago. The collective effort during the FAC phase paid off, I'd say. I've been away recently, but have now started to do a bit of W'gnoming on the FAC Islam. Care to join in?

It seems that congratulations/commiserations are in order on your recent elevation to the hierarchy. Well done! --NigelG (or Ndsg) | Talk 17:58, 15 May 2007 (UTC)

Hey Nigel, good to hear from you again....sure, I promise I'll take a look at it, but give me some time. I'm getting acquainted with my admin buttons, so it may be a day or two. I think this article will need all the help it can get—bringing an article of this magnitude and reach up to featured status is like walking uphill in molasses while deciphering a Vigenere cipher on a pocket calculator. The ikiroid (talk·desk·Advise me) 21:49, 15 May 2007 (UTC)

P.S. Thank you for the compliment, I hope I'll play a larger role in maintaining the pedia now that I can help out with sysop backlogs! The ikiroid (talk·desk·Advise me) 21:50, 15 May 2007 (UTC)

Link generator

Have you come across User:Nickj/Can We Link It? It's surprisingly useful, particularly on articles that are underlinked. It does, of course, throw up some irrelevant links: eg Stroud, Gloucestershire contains the (utterly unencyclopedic) sentence:

Visitors and locals say that there is a unique and 'laid back' air to the town ...

The program suggested that there is a unique should be linked to Existential quantification. Well, why not?! You can either accept or reject each suggestion by clicking. --NigelG (or Ndsg) | Talk 09:42, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

Haha, yeah, it looks like there are a few bugs...but it works pretty well—I tried it out on Social issues of the 1920s and it brought up four suggested links (I went with two of them). This could make wikification really easy on new pages! How'd you come across it? The ikiroid (talk·desk·Advise me) 22:02, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

That's completely lost in the mists of time (or rather, my befuddled brain). Actually, I think I found it when I was searching for "automatic links" or something along those lines using Wiki-Google (which is how I check out possible links in any case). --NigelG (or Ndsg) | Talk 09:34, 18 May 2007 (UTC)

Sounds like a good idea. I often find things like this while reading userpages, but I have to say that you've won this round :-) Do you know about popups? They're not like the terrible ads elsewhere on the internet, but rather a sort of preview tool that's really helpful for viewing diffs and getting the gist of a topic that has been bluelinked. The ikiroid (talk·desk·Advise me) 22:43, 18 May 2007 (UTC)

Very belated response. Yes, I found out about popups quite early on—though again I can't remember how! Extremely useful, particularly now that I've got a new computer fit for the 21st century. --NigelG (or Ndsg) | Talk 14:17, 23 June 2007 (UTC)

Hello to you too.

Nice meeting you. Pleased I could help out by blocking Jeremybub. You say you don't like making controversial blocks yet, so I wondered how new you are; hope you don't mind. ;) · AndonicO ^Talk 00:33, 19 May 2007 (UTC)

Not bad. 9 months as a user, about 3 weeks as an admin. Congratulations. :) · AndonicO ^Talk 08:18, 19 May 2007 (UTC)

IPA

Hi Ikiroid,

I see we're reverting each other on the IPA page, section on C's w/o symbols. I don't mind removing the examples, but as it stands now the paragraph is wrong, because it claims to cover all the blanks in the IPA chart, and without the deleted examples it doesn't. kwami 00:13, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

Oh sorry....I didn't even realize we were! What should we do? Perhaps we could create a subsection with all of the examples, labeled something like "Phonemes without letters" or something. What do you think? The ikiroid (talk·desk·Advise me) 00:15, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

I don't feel too strongly either way. All the info you've taken out can be found elsewhere, and so it's redundant to have it here too, but I like the idea of having a section that addresses all the blanks in the chart. (And this is the "Sounds that have no symbols in the IPA" section.) There are bound to be people who conclude that the IPA is incomplete when they see it (and they're right), and I think it might be useful to show the more common work-arounds. But on the other hand, the article does get weighted down under all that detail, and it's pretty obscure. kwami 00:28, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

Hi again, sorry for the delay—take a look at what I've done to the section: I put the information back in and divided it into subsections. I don't think that this is too obsessive, but maybe sometime in the future we would want to split up the section and put it under "description." Do you believe it's all right? Feel free to modify/revert what I've done. The ikiroid (talk·desk·Advise me) 18:52, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

Looks fine, Ikiroid. Wherever you want to put it is OK with me. kwami 17:28, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

TFA/R for GR

I've gone ahead & set the ball rolling. Please edit if you want—in particular the image, as we've already discussed on my Talk page. --NigelG (or Ndsg) | Talk 14:11, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

Please see my Talk for a final comment: the image needs correcting to include the 4th tone. Otherwise everything's fine. --NigelG (or Ndsg) | Talk 16:23, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

Update I've restored the original 4-tone, trad & simp guo image in the TFA/R. Perhaps you'll be back from your wiki-break in time to crop the image correctly before the page appears as TFA. --NigelG (or Ndsg) | Talk 15:41, 17 June 2007 (UTC)

1080° Snowboarding

Hey Ikiroid, my past experience with you has been that you are a good enough writer to bring an article up to FA. I know that video games aren't your style, but I have an article in an FAC, 1080° Snowboarding, that needs a copyeditor real bad. If you have time, could you take a look at it?--Clyde (talk) 15:49, 27 May 2007 (UTC)

Well actually there's two problems I have. One is removing uneeded and redundant words from sentences (I tried and could use another eyes) and switching the article from passive voice to active voice. I'm going to try it myself, but if you can help me at all that would be great.--Clyde (talk) 22:42, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

Howdy!

Thanks for reverting this bit of idiocy on my userpage - apparently, vandalism is all that people do there... ;-)

And here's a free tip - it is often a good idea to follow the trail - then you'd find this done few minutes later (which I have promptly rv'd). :-)

Hey Ikiroid, I'm working on Anglisch, and I have this idea for an "Anglic Consonant shift" that would kind of parallel the High German consonant shift.

Sinhala alphabet FC

Hi Ikiroid, coming back to an earlier suggestion of yours, I am thinking about having the Sinhala alphabet article promoted to GA or FA and would appreciate your opinion on that matter.
