[edit] Pupusa

Your recent edit to pupusa changed masa (an article that already exists on the Wikipedia), to masa de maíz (which is a redlink, which means there is no article on the Wikipedia by that name). If masa de maíz is a special type of masa, then it would help if you would edit the masa article and explain that. Then masa de maíz should be turned into a Redirect to the masa article.

The other choice, if you think that masa de maíz is important enough to have it's own article, is that you can write one at masa de maíz (and then add a See also section to the masa article).

If you have any questions, please contact me on my talk page. BlankVerse 08:10, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

You edit to masa looks good. (A couple of notes: 1) Common redirects to an article that are likely to be used in another article [such as masa de maíz) are bolded just like the article title is bolded [per the Wikipedia Manual of Style—other redirects, such as for mispellings, don't get bolded]. 2) You don't sign articles that you edit—just talk page comments.)
There already is a redirect from masa harina and you created the redirect for Masa de maíz. There probably should be another redirect created at Masa de maiz for gringos and lazy editors. Do you think there should also be redirects created at Masa nixtamalera or Masa trigo (are they both fairly common terms)? [I just went ahead and created them. Redirects are easy to create, and it's probably better to have too many of them than not enough.]
A comment: Unless there is a specific reason for privacy, communication between Wikipedia editors usually happens on their talk pages. It can, however, take awhile to get used to the ping-pong-like nature of communicating that way. BlankVerse 02:44, 13 January 2007 (UTC)
For the pronunciation, it's probably unnecessary in the masa article, but it should be added to the Nixtamalization article. I've never dealt with pronunciation, but I think that the standard is to use the International Phonetic Alphabet. If you add your own description, you can add the {{cleanup-IPA}} template to the top of the article. This adds the article to Category:Wikipedia articles with nonstandard pronunciation, where hopefully some IPA wizard will come along and add the IPA pronunciation to the article.
For posting on a talk page, new comments are always bottom posted, instead of top posted or interleaved. I've never seen anywhere where this is explained, so it may be everyone just following the lead of the MediaWiki software. If you click the "+" tab at the top of the page to the right of the "edit this page" tab, you start a new section that will be added to the bottom of the page. You will get an edit field for the title of the new section, and a larger edit field for your comments. When you want to add to the comments of an existing section, just click the "edit" link at the far right of the section, and again, you bottom-post your comments.
You also generally don't need to use any HTML coding for your comments. Instead of <br/>, for example, just add a blank line between paragraphs. BlankVerse 06:24, 13 January 2007 (UTC)
People have slowly started adding pronunciation files to articles. For example, someone just added a file to the haiku article. You can see the links to it at the top of the article. For me, clicking on the link launches my default .ogg file player Winamp3. The following page explains some of the details: Wikipedia:Media#Audio.
There are two different Wikipedia:WikiProjects that will probably be able to help you. Wikipedia:WikiProject Sound is for sound snippets, such as the pronunciation of single words. Wikipedia:WikiProject Spoken Wikipedia is for reading entire articles.
I just did a minor clarification to the sentence where you added the pronunciation in the Nixtamalization article. I hope that it is accurate. I chose to link to Nahuatl language instead of what is probably the more accurate Classical Nahuatl because I think that article gave a much better overview of the language.
All this talk about pupusas has reminded me it's been close to a month since I've been to my favorite pupusaria. Unfortunately they are way too busy on the weekends, and they are closed on Mondays, so I'll have to wait until Tuesday for a pupusa fix. On the other hand, I could always go for its Mexican cousin, the gordita, tomorrow. ;-) BlankVerse 06:49, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
I've left a question on the definition of molino (mill) at Talk:Masa. BlankVerse 11:27, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
note: I was using foo as a Metasyntactic variable, because mill could be anything from paper mill to a rumor mill. BlankVerse 06:15, 15 January 2007 (UTC)


A tag has been placed on Shakes versus Shav, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article seems to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable, that is, why an article about that subject should be included in Wikipedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert notability may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, and if you can indicate why the subject of this article is notable, you may contest the tagging. To do this, add {{hangon}} on the top of the page and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm its subject's notability under the guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Steve (Slf67) talk 04:17, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] /JBS

I prevented your workspace page /JBS from appearing in article categories and from possibly confusing interwiki robots by simply wrapping them in a <nowiki></nowiki> tag. Best wishes, RobertG ♬ talk 11:13, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
