Just wanted to say thanks.Azeriking55 (talk) 21:19, 27 July 2020

Apologies, something went wrong with my edit, and deleted the information completely by accident. Thanks for the fix.Foristslow (talk)22:46, 25 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, just reaching out to you because a comment you made atTalk:Dolma was cited in an ANI report. Edits that assert/dispute Armenia origins of foods (especially when counterposed to Ottoman/Turkic origins) and other cultural patrimonyare covered byWP:GS/AA's restrictions, and as such, your advicehere was incorrect._signed,Rosguill^talk15:18, 28 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Oh. Thanks for the heads-up. I've responded there.Largoplazo (talk)15:28, 28 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I added the rendering support notice on the page about the Lao script. I want it.PrinceAzuka134 (talk)00:26, 2 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Will it surprise you that I have no idea what you're talking about?Largoplazo (talk)01:53, 2 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Largoplazo. Per your request, your account has beengrantedtemporary-account-viewer rights. You are now able to reveal the IP addresses of individuals usingtemporary accounts that are not visible to the general public. This is very sensitive information that isonly to be used to aid in anti-abuse workflows. Please take a moment to reviewWikipedia:Temporary account IP viewer for more information on this user right. It is important to remember:

• You must not share IP address data with someone who does not have the same access permissions unless disclosure is permissible as per guidelines listed atFoundation:Policy:Wikimedia Access to Temporary Account IP Addresses Policy.
• Accessmust not be used for political control, to apply pressure on editors, or as a threat against another editor in a content dispute. There must be a valid reason to investigate a temporary user. Note that using multiple temporary accounts is not forbidden, so long as they are not used in violation of policies (for example, block or ban evasion).

It is also important to note that the following actions are logged for others to see:

• When a user accepts the preference that enables or disables IP reveal for their account.
• Revealing an IP address of a temporary account.
• Listing the temporary accounts that are associated with one or moreIP addresses (using theCIDR notation format).

Remember, even if a user is violating policy, avoid revealing personal information if possible. Use temporary account usernames rather than disclosing IP addresses directly, or give information such as same network/not same network or similar. If you do not want the user right anymore then please ask me or another administrator and it will be removed for you. You may also voluntarily give up access at any time by visitingSpecial:Preferences. Happy editing! --Tamzin^{[cetacean needed]}(they|xe|🤷)16:59, 7 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello there, can I just clarify what is going on here with the above draft. I am not the submitting editor, but originally I was the AFC editor. I declined the draft for a number of reasons, but mainly sourcing. The submitting editor then reached out for advice / help and we are in the middle of that. There is some background on my Talk page giving more details. At the moment I am trying to shift the article towards something that she would accept, so what you are seeing at the moment is very much draft of a draft. Now naturally any editor can edit any draft, but this is work in progress, and I don't know what the submitting editor will make of this yet. It just looks like a mini edit war, but that's not what anyone is trying to do here.ChrysGalley (talk)21:46, 17 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@ChrysGalley Thanks for the context. If it looked likeI was being cantankerous, I didn't mean to be, I was just trying to add some shape to the article. I haven't looked at the preceding editing patterns such that I would have had any sense that warring was going on. Anyway, I'm done for now.Largoplazo (talk)22:30, 17 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

That's absolutely fine @Largoplazo, thanks for the reply, and in one sense we were both saying quite similar things, it may have looked a bit strange to the submitter.

One area where your thoughts would be good to hear: you note about how language grammar sections generally have a particular structure, and I can see that is certainly the case for main languages. TFC is very hybrid, with not so many speakers now (I would guess under 3,000). When I look at the other hybrids, such asBay Islands English,Turks and Caicos Creole English evenMosquitian Creole - which are much larger hybrids, there typically isn't much detail provided and realistically a full morphology on hybrids is a bit of a stretch. Bahamanian does have a lot more detail, but that's got 300,000 speakers and been going for quite a while. What would you say is a reasonable target for a hybrid of 3,000 speakers? Clearly more than there is now, but what is realistic?ChrysGalley (talk)22:50, 17 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

As an amusing side note, the Grokipedia article for Turkey opens with an explanation of why Turkey is transcontinental before it gets to any other information. It takes our bad writing as well as our good.CMD (talk)10:35, 8 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Chipmunkdavis Trash is trash, isn't it? Ha!Largoplazo (talk)14:16, 8 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

"DAB1 is linked from only one place" because I just created it. If we could list only "common" shortcuts we would never be able to replace a shortcut with a clearly superior one. DAB1 is shorter and has a clear word boundary, whereas DABONE does not and is easily misread as "da bone".Nardog (talk)13:10, 10 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Nardog OK, I see. In that case, if the number of links to DABONE were 4,900, I'd say that you still need to leave it in addition to DAB1, but with only 49 links I guess it's not so famous a shortcut that it needs to be kept. I've undone my reversion.Largoplazo (talk)13:44, 10 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
