Gwichʼin[edit]

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)[reply]

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)[reply]

Alaska Native languages image[edit]

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)[reply]

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)[reply]

Unspecified source for Image:ANLmap-sm.gif[edit]

Thanks for uploading Image:ANLmap-sm.gif. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, then you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, then their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Fair use, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 18:09, 28 June 2008 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? Calliopejen1 (talk) 18:09, 28 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

NowCommons: File:Tlikakila river.jpg[edit]

File:Tlikakila river.jpg is now available on Wikimedia Commons as Commons:File:Tlikakila River.jpg. This is a repository of free media that can be used on all Wikimedia wikis. The image will be deleted from Wikipedia, but this doesn't mean it can't be used anymore. You can embed an image uploaded to Commons like you would an image uploaded to Wikipedia, in this case: [[File:Tlikakila River.jpg]]. Note that this is an automated message to inform you about the move. This bot did not copy the image itself. --Erwin85Bot (talk) 18:51, 5 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Alaska Native Language Archive[edit]

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Alaska Native Language Archive requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a clear copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website but have permission from that owner, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion," which appears inside of the speedy deletion ({{db-...}}) tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate). Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Disambiguation link notification for March 6[edit]

Hi. When you recently edited Robert Austerlitz, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Michael Krauss (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver).

File permission problem with File:Sonot Kkaazoot ski race flyer.jpg[edit]

Thanks for uploading File:Sonot Kkaazoot ski race flyer.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file agreed to license it under the given license.

You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add {{OTRS pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-enwikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included.

This should have been classed fair use. I've reuploaded with that license, since I don't know how to change licensing info once a file has been uploaded. Gholton (talk) 23:25, 17 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of File:240px-Sirung.jpg[edit]

A tag has been placed on File:240px-Sirung.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the image is an unused redundant copy (all pixels the same or scaled down) of an image in the same file format, which is on Wikipedia (not on Commons), and all inward links have been updated.

If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay.

Nomination of Anthropological Papers of the University of Alaska for deletion[edit]

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Anthropological Papers of the University of Alaska is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Anthropological Papers of the University of Alaska until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion template from the top of the article. הסרפד (Hasirpad) [formerly Ratz...bo] 02:40, 31 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Kuwani language[edit]

Hi,

I'm not sure I understood what you were trying to say with this edit. I reworded it, but may have got it wrong. — kwami (talk) 00:52, 8 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, I probably wasn't very clear. Kuwani is a distinct language from Kalabra. This can be seen by comparing the Kuwani wordlist in Smits and Voorhoeve (1998) to the Kalabra wordlist in Berry and Berry (1987). The confusion arises because in Smits and Voorhoeve's include Kuwani as a "local variant" of Kalabra. They cite a wordlist compiled by Beck.

Note also that the Language article is a review of Wurm (1975), so it might be better to cite the original: Wurm, Stephen A., ed. 1975. New Guinea Area Languages and Language Study, vol. 1: Papuan languages and the New Guinea linguistics scene (Pacific Linguistics C-38). Canberra: Australian National University.

International Conference on Austronesian Linguistics moved to draftspace[edit]

An article you recently created, International Conference on Austronesian Linguistics, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

Proposed deletion of File:Nedebang speakers.jpg[edit]

The file File:Nedebang speakers.jpg has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

unused, low-res, no obvious use

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated files}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the file's talk page.

Please consider addressing the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated files}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and files for discussion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

This bot DID NOT nominate any file(s) for deletion; please refer to the page history of each individual file for details. Thanks, FastilyBot (talk) 01:01, 7 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
