[edit] Gwichʼin

Please do not copy and paste redirects as you did for Gwichʼin language. The spelling with the "funky apostrophe" (MODIFIER LETTER APOSTROPHE as opposed to RIGHT SINGLE QUOTATION MARK or APOSTROPHE) is the correct spelling, and the other forms redirect to it. Evertype 08:39, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

My apologies -- I hadn't yet read the Talk:Gwich'in discussion when I made those changes. I've now posted to that thread with my comments. I really think we will introduce huge inconsistency problems if we start using the U+2019 character. Another possible compromise which I didn't yet post to the thread is to have a Gwich'in page with the U+2019 character and a Gwich'in language page without (with appropirate redirects and explanation). What do you think? Also, can you provide a source for the "correct" spelling? --Gholton 15:57, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Alaska Native languages image

Greetings. I've been doing some basic work updating or creating Wikipedia pages in a consistent format for Alaska Native languages, & lucked into finding the image you uploaded. Except... well, it's not very easily read, unlike the version available on the Alaska Native Language Center website. So, I followed the link from the image to you, only to discover that you are the Gary Holton at the Alaska Native Language Center. Would it be possible to get permission to upload the larger version of the graphic (as the one appearing on the site) with the same copyright restrictions as for the smaller one (Creative Commons Sharealike license)?

I understand you might not be hanging about to get this message, so I'll wait a couple of weeks & if I don't hear from you I'll write directly to ANLC.

Kudos to everyone at the Alaska Native Language Center for the work you're all doing, from an appreciative non-Native Alaskan. --Yksin 23:57, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

Glad this worked out. I've been on sabbatical leave (in Indonesia) and only just now ran across this msgGholton 08:10, 24 July 2007 (UTC)
