I am (at least I think I am ^_^) biligual. - Audioman


I listened to your version of 3 men make a tiger. The audio sounds good to me, How long did it take you to record this? I tried to make a recording for Saturn V but I get stressed and make a lot of mistakes. I hope your experience was better. :-D --Chinakow 08:58, 18 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Edit summaries

When editing an article on Wikipedia there is a small field labelled "Edit summary" under the main edit-box. It looks like this:

When you leave the edit summary blank, some of your edits could be mistaken for vandalism and may be reverted, so please always briefly summarize your edits, especially when you are making subtle but important changes, like changing dates or numbers. Thank you.

[edit] Chinese pronunciation

Heyas! I assume you've heard my Chinese recordings by now. You seem to be the first really active native speaker. Which is, like, awesome. Do you think I should keep recording Chinese or concentrate on Swedish?

[edit] Greetings~

Hello Audioman thanks so much for the pronunciation clips. Are you a native speaker of Mandarin? Do you speak any other Chinese language(s)? :-) — Instantnood 22:10, 11 April 2006 (UTC)

I guess you're meaning you're a native speaker of Mandarin, am I right? Would you be able to make some clips for other Chinese languages too? — Instantnood 08:18, 15 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Too many mistakes in Guqin audio

In the poem 《彈琴》: 劉長卿,“靜”should be pronounced as jìng (you read jīng),“雖”should be suī (you read xū)。

In the poem 《琴歌》 : 李頎,the readings of the following characters are incorrect: 今(jīn),夕(xī),奏(zòu),烏(wū),半(bàn),淒(qī),木(mù),增(zēng),星(xīng)。

Maybe the best way is to ask a native Beijinger to read these poems :-)

[edit] Treaty of Good-Neighborliness and Friendly Cooperation Between the People's Republic of China and the Russian Federation

Thank you kindly for audio-izing the FCT article, Audioman! Sincerely yours, El_C 16:24, 25 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Proper upload formats

I don't know if there's been a recent change or not, but the standard format of audio files is that of a two-letter ISO code followed by the filename. You've chosen to name your files "Chinese-xxx.ogg". Would you mind amending this over at Commons?

Peter Isotalo 09:42, 20 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Don't use straight links to media

Please do not ever use straight links to media files. Use {{Audio}} or a similar template that allows easy access to the license info. This is not a matter of layout style, I might add, since we have to provide users a chance to access the copyright info without having to chase it around Commons.

Also, try to use the shorter standard formats for naming files. Rather than Image:Beijing pronounced in English way.ogg you should opt for Image:en-Beijing.ogg. You can add various specifiers to that if you want to like "en-us-XXX.ogg" or "en-uk-XXX.ogg" depending on if you're speaking American or British English. As always, I recommend that you upload the files to Commons so that all projects can access them.

Keep those pronunciations coming...
