And sorry for my over-hasty marking of your Nisga'a language page for deletion; I saw that it had been a few minutes since the page had been created and assumed it was just an expiriment... I should have been more patient! - squibix 02:02, 19 January 2006 (UTC)

Please do not create pages without content. These will be speedily deleted. Rmhermen 04:13, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] {{catmore}}

hi.

here is a (hopefully) helpful hint: You can add the following code to a category and a link to a page with the same name will automatically appear at the top of the category page:

{{catmore}}

To be more precise, it will read:

The main article for this category is xyzxyz.

where xyzxyz is the name of category and article. an example page that uses this code is here: Category:Tsimshianic languages. if this useful to you.... peace – ishwar  (speak) 04:19, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Mixe-Zoquean Languages

Tim, I see you added a stub on Mixe-Zoquean languages. There is also a list of Mixe-Zoquean languages here under Mesoamerican languages along with the present number of speakers of each and their location. There seems to be some discrepancy between the two lists. Is this something that you would be able to address? I wouldn't, not without some research. And welcome to Wikipedia!! Madman 23:07, 12 February 2006 (UTC)

Hey, Tim, following your lead, I went out to Ethnologue and used that data and other sources to add some detail to the Mixe-Zoque article. I was not aware of Ethnologue. I put some detail around the Penutian attribution, too. Thanks for the info. Madman 23:41, 19 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Did You Know

Updated DYK query Did you know? has been updated. A fact from the article Mutsun language, which you recently created, has been featured in that section on the Main Page. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the "Did you know?" talk page.

[edit] Kott language

  • I got turned around on the naming convention. I'll move the content back and change Kott to a redirect. --DMG413 02:16, 7 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Tataviam

Thank you for starting the article. It has been on my list for quite some time. I think we may need to change one of the redirects and make a separate article on the people at some point, but for now, its better than nothing. I see you've also done some work on indigenous languages of Mexico? I just added a segment in the assessment section of the Indigenous peoples project...maybe you could take a look and add what I neglected? Or let me know so I can add it? A lot of wok needs to be done on these articles and the project seems to be focusing on the US and Canada, so any help at all would be appreciated...Gracias y PAZ--Rockero 02:16, 8 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Chiwere language

Hello. I accidentally wrote up an article on the Chiwere language here, not knowing that you'd already started one. My bad. Should I move my content to your page, or should we delete one or the other or what? Since you started the original page, I leave it up to you. If we end up having to move my content, would you help me with the redirects and everything? I still a bit new to editing. Thanks!5th Angel 20:48, 12 April 2006 (UTC)

Looks great, thanks for your help!--5th Angel 00:00, 13 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] 66.159.193.205

Hey Tim,

No, I game him/her a spam warning, {{spam2}}. The IP, which is dynamic, has been attempting to add links to this dictionary website on all the language articles for months. I've seen admins revert this person before. —Khoikhoi 03:20, 19 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Danke

I'm running around expressing my gratitude to all the editors who voted in my favor during my recent RfA, and it's your turn. Thanks!--Rockero 00:25, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Scots

Hi again,

The problem is, I can't find anywhere in the Scots language article that it says it's a dialect of English. Therefore until that happens I don't think it would be a good idea to change it. Have you said something on the talk page? What do other people think? —Khoikhoi 20:55, 29 April 2006 (UTC)


Scots cannot be a dialect of anything, as it refers to a variety of seperate dialects, which for a period of three hundred years shared a common standard written form as divergent from the English standard written dialect, as that between Scandinavian languages or Low and High German (and was recognised in the European context as seperate).http://www.scots-online.org/airticles/eurlang.htm It developped from a common ancestor and in fact has a "dialect" which is still spoken in parts of Northern Ireland due to Scottish settlement there in the 17th century. Since the Act of Union and standardisation of education and orthography, it has lost prestige amongst the upper strata of Scottish society and remained permissable merely as a medium for comedy and such like, but has as much right to seperate language status from English as Scottish Gaelic does from Irish Gaelic (which at the same period when Scots was the recognised state language of Scotland had not yet seperated into two seperate written standard forms but were both still one language when written:}82.41.4.66 00:30, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] WikiProject Indigenous peoples of North America Newsletter - July '06

The Indigenous Peoples of North America Portal has been established, as a starting point for those wishing to learn more about the subject, with information and links on a wide variety of issues. It also contains news regarding the continent's various tribes and nations. It's a graphically pleasing site, and everyone is encouraged to check it out.
The project's home page has a new design, featuring tabbed subpages on participants, templates, articles, categories, and the to do list.
The Article Classification lists have been moved to their own subpage due to size. This is a sign of progress in the ongoing work of this project.
The project's talk page template has been updated, along with the classification system, to include the assessment on the talk pages of the articles that have been classified and assessed.
Balance
As the Project reaches its first six months of activity, the great effort all of you have invested in it has turned the vast information available on Indigenous North American topics from a deorganized cumulous into an excellent and easy to consult database. Although much work is still in order, few WikiProjects are able to obtain the amazing results we are proud to show today. To all of you, thank you and congratulations!
The assessment of articles within the scope of the project is still an ongoing process. We need people to help in this who are not contributors to the articles they are assessing. Also, there is the ongoing need for identifying and cataloguing articles that fall within the scope of this project. As of today, nearly 1,500 have been identified within the Project's scope.

[edit] Villiages in the Netherlands

Hi Tim

I noticed that you were using feet as your elevation unit and square kilometers for area. Is there any chance of using meters for elevation? Meters is used in Europe.

[edit] More Dutch villages

Hi Tim,

Thanks for the work on Dutch villages. I like the idea of the template for each municipality, and I've done some formatting on them; see the Emmen template on Barger-Compascuum for an example. I have a list of about 7000 places with the municipality they're in, and I can create these templates automatically for each municipality.

By the way, where are you getting your information on the villages? There are a few errors in the list; for example, I believe that Delftlanden is actually a neighbourhood of Emmen, not a separate village at all. Eugène van der Pijll

[edit] Schieven

Could you please add some more information about Schieven? pls refer to Talk:Schieven. -- Librarianofages 01:11, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
