WP has articles on languages and articles on writing systems. N'Ko alphabet is the article for the writing system. Writing systems and languages are distinct. Compare Latin and Latin alphabet. Stop merging and stop making wrong links in related WP articles. [1] , [2] Tobias Conradi (Talk) 13:31, 9 November 2006 (UTC)
- Mr Conradi, I have asked you repeatedly not to vandalize the article. You split a short article into two articles without comment. I protested that this is the wrong thing to do for a short article like this. I protested on the Talk Page and requested that you obtain the consensus of other editors before making the split. You have repeatedly ignored this. I do not think you have any particular expertise in N'Ko. I do. Your analogy with Latin and Latin alphabet is false. Both of those articles are long and it would be confusing to users if they were merged. You tell me to stop merging but it is you who started this war, by your unwelcome and unnecessary splitting. -- Evertype·✆ 17:44, 9 November 2006 (UTC)
- I do not think you have any particular expertise in N'Ko. - which does not stop me from knowing that alphabets and languages are two things. And that in WP we have allways (?) articles for scripts and for a languages. But we tend not to have articles like you suggest N'Ko (script and language). I simply edited in that direction. That you perceive this as starting a war may be true, but has nothing to do with my edit intentions. Tobias Conradi (Talk) 18:12, 9 November 2006 (UTC)
- There are many short articles which deal with both language and script. There was no reason to split N'Ko into two articles. You did not ask anyone. When it was disputed (which it is), you simply charged ahead and started trying to show what a jerk I was for disagreeing with you. This is not pleasant. I have had no option but to put this up for AfD. I look forward to improving a single N'Ko article, and do not understand why you should find that objectionable. The split, however, makes it more difficult to deal with N'Ko in a reasonable manner. -- Evertype·✆ 18:19, 9 November 2006 (UTC)
- I look forward to see more language related stuff at all. Tobias Conradi (Talk) 18:54, 9 November 2006 (UTC)
