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, 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, 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 {{Tl\|GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the [[GFDL]].

See [[Wikipedia:Image copyright tags]] for the full list of copyright tags that you can use. :As for the sound files. A lot of the fricatives like [[voiceless alveolo-palatal fricative]] and [[voiceless palatal fricative]] are hard to tell apart. The velar fricatives are even more difficult to discern from one another, even in the cases where I'm actually familiar with the sounds. There's also the problem of the copyright, since I would like to start building a proper collection of pronunciation files at Commons, and I assume there would be a problem uploading the UCLA-files there with the current copyright.

The slighty variant ___location of the vowel sounds represents the fact that the actual position of the tongue and the resultant formants in the produced vowel vary slightly from the "standard" positions as described by the International Phonetic Alphabet. For example the Dutch [y] sound (as in ''fuut'') is significantly more centralized than the Dutch [i] sound (as in ''biet''). In fact, the IPA symbol [ʉ] is probably a more accurate transcription of the sound. However, [y] is used for phonological reasons—in the sound system of Dutch, it works in a way that is parallel to [i]— in particular there is not a 3-way contrast in backness in Dutch, so there is no reason to posit that the vowel of ''fuut'' is both rounded and centralized, as rounded is sufficient to describe the phonology of the vowel. I hope this explains it. Feel free to ask me if any of this is unclear, as it very may be, considering I've just had a couple glasses of wine :-). [[User:Nohat\|Nohat]] 03:47, 11 Apr 2005 (UTC) Okay, that makes sense. If Dutch "uu" resembles more IPA [ʉ] than IPA [y] then I think that should be symbol used, but that's only my personal opinion I guess. It would be less confusing, though. Also it might still be nice to "put something on the axes" so to speak. Maybe some mention of all this could be made in the text. I'll think about it some more time. (And give my coffee some time.) It would be nice if the vowels were somehow hyperlinked to pronunciations as sound files.

Hi Nohat. I typed the IPA consonant table for Thai. You might have a look in [[Thai language]]. I am wondering about [w], which appears in the IPA handbook in the Thai section as a velar approximant, whereas in the general tables it is set apart as a voiced labial-velar approximant. Any idea why that could be?

If Thai [w] is not rounded, or not very rounded, or its roundedness is not relevant to Thai phonology, it may make sense to group it as a pure velar. As for why they would use the symbol w instead of the normal velar approximant symbol, it may just be the principle of using normal Roman letters where possible. I don't have the handbook in front of me, so I can't see for myself at the moment. That's my guess.

[[Image:Nuvola apps important yellow.svg\|left\|48px\|]] On the common part (globe) of Wikipedia logos, there are characters look like Japanese katakana "ワィ", and I think that these are misspell.

The characters written on the globe are the first characters of "Wikipedia" in many different languages, aren't they? Or there are any different standards for the choice of characters? I read [[m:Final logo variants/Nohat]], and noticed that the current logos of Wikipedia in various languages is version X through fine distinctions of characters on globe between version X and version XI. Why isn't version XI used? Is it for any reason or other? I made some draft logos for Japanese Wikipedia and put they to the vote now, and the common part of they is version X.

There have been several suggestions over time for minor changes to the character set selection on the puzzle sphere logo. They have all been reasonable requests, as yours are, but at this time, making a new set of logos for every Wikipedia for a small number of minor changes is not something I'm willing to invest time in—it will require hundreds of hours of work, and if I make changes for you, then everyone else will start demanding changes, and when I refuse, as inevitably I will have to, because I have other demands on my time, I fear others will start making changes on their own, comprimising the aesthetic integrity of the logo, which to me is paramount, above even glyph selection. However, I have been considering spearheading a cross-linguistic effort to select a new set of glyphs, with input from the different language communities, which was not unfortunately not forthcoming at the time of the original logo design. I am hesitant to do even this because I fear that the process might be co-opted by some strong personalities who lack the requisite aesthetic sensitivities and who might want to introduce radical change to the logo, which is something that I am ''really'' opposed to. So, not much is likely to happen in this area unless a plan can be developed for updating the logo that can be certainly limited in scope to just changing the glyphs. I'm currently producing an inclusionist fork of Wikipedia, to be called Includipedia. I like the Wikipedia logo you've done and I'd like you to do one for our site.

It is reasonable to reserve the term 'flap' for sounds where the active articulator sweeps forward and on its way touches the place of articulation so that brief contact is made. When producing taps, the brief contact is produced by the articulator moving perpendicular against and from the place of articulation. While Spanish and North American [{{IPA\|ɾ}}] both are taps, Hindi and other languages have the [[retroflex flap]] in words like {{IPA\|[bəɽɑ]}} 'large'. The tounge starts in a sharply bent, apicopalatal position, is thrown forward, makes brief contact with the alveolar ridge and lands, sometimes clearly audible [this I , against the floor of the mouth."

My own variety of speech (slightly "Stockholmized" Central [[Standard Swedish]]) regularly features plenty of alveolar taps as realizations of /r/, but the retroflex flaps are quite well know in Swedish as distinctive marks of certain dialects, and it's very easy to relate to Engstrand's explanation when imitating these dialects.

Approx. what percentage of the people in your area has it? I have the merger! Originally from upstate NY, moved down to FL still in my preteen years. I've been trying to get /ʌ/ into most words that are supposed to have it, but I still feel a little awkward saying them... especially Hull, Dull, Ultra-, Multi- I used to pronounce most /ʌl/ words with /ʊl/, but some with /əl/ (in my opinion, sounds somewhere in between). I don't think I ever used /ʌl/! I've heard a few instances of the Dull-Bull merger on the radio lately (e.g. the March of Dimes BellyAd Blue ad, "lullaby" is obviously pronounced /lʊləˌbaɪ/ in this ad).

[[User:Sfan00 IMG\|Sfan00 IMG]] ([[User talk:Sfan00 IMG\|talk]]) 11:31, 29 December 2011 (UTC)</div><!-- Template:Add-desc --> == MSU Interview == Dear Nohat, My name is Jonathan Obar [[user:Jaobar]], I'm a professor in the College of Communication Arts and Sciences at Michigan State University and a Teaching Fellow with the Wikimedia Foundation's Education Program. This semester I've been running a little experiment at MSU, a class where we teach students about becoming Wikipedia administrators. Not a lot is known about your community, and our students (who are fascinated by wiki-culture by the way!) want to learn how you do what you do, and why you do it. A while back I proposed this idea (the class) to the community[[Wikipedia:Village_pump_(proposals)/Archive_82#Learn_to_be_a_Wikipedia_Administrator_-_New_class_at_MSU\|HERE]], where it was met mainly with positive feedback. Anyhow, I'd like my students to speak with a few administrators to get a sense of admin experiences, training, motivations, likes, dislikes, etc. We were wondering if you'd be interested in speaking with one of our students. So a few things about the interviews: * Interviews will last between 15 and 30 minutes. * Interviews can be conducted over skype (preferred), IRC or email. (You choose the form of communication based upon your comfort level, time, etc.) * All interviews will be completely anonymous, meaning that you (real name and/or pseudonym) will never be identified in any of our materials, unless you give the interviewer permission to do so. * All interviews will be completely voluntary. You are under no obligation to say yes to an interview, and can say no and stop or leave the interview at any time. * The entire interview process is being overseen by MSU's institutional review board (ethics review). This means that all questions have been approved by the university and all students have been trained how to conduct interviews ethically and properly.

The 18th edition of ''Ethnologue'' just came out, and if we divide up our language articles among us, it won't take long to update them. I would appreciate it if you could help out, even if it's just a few articles (5,000 articles is a lot for just me), but I won't be insulted if you delete this request. A largely complete list of articles to be updated is at [[:Category:Language articles citing Ethnologue 17]]. The priority articles are in [[:Category:Language articles with old Ethnologue 17 speaker data]]. These are the 10% that have population figures at least 25 years old. Probably 90% of the time, ''Ethnologue'' has not changed their figures between the 17th and 18th editions, so all we need to do is change "e17" to "e18" in the reference (ref) field of the language info box. That will change the citation for the artcle to the current edition. Please put the data in the proper fields, or the info box will flag it as needing editorial review. The other relevant fields are "speakers" (the number of native speakers in all countries), "date" (the date of the reference or census that Ethnologue uses, not the date of Ethnologue!), and sometimes "speakers2". Our convention has been to enter e.g. "1990 census" when a census is used, as other data can be much older than the publication date. Sometimes a citation elsewhere in the article depends on the e17 entry, in which case you will need to change "name=e17" to "name=e18" in the reference tag (assuming the 18th edition still supports the cited claim). Remember, we want the total number of native speakers, which is often not the first figure given by ''Ethnologue''. Sometimes the data is too incompatible to add together (e.g. a figure from the 1950s for one country, and a figure from 2006 for another), in which case it should be presented that way. That's one use for the "speakers2" field. If you're not sure, just ask, or skip that article. Data should not be displayed with more than two, or at most three, significant figures. Sometimes it should be rounded off to just one significant figure, e.g. when some of the component data used by ''Ethnologue'' has been approximated with one figure (200,000, 3 million, etc.) and the other data has greater precision. For example, a figure of 200,000 for one country and 4,230 for another is really just 200,000 in total, as the 4,230 is within the margin of rounding off in the 200,000. If you want to retain the spurious precision of the number in ''Ethnologue'', you might want to use the {{tl\|sigfig}} template. (First parameter in this template is for the data, second is for the number of figures to round it off to.) Dates will often need to be a range of all the country data in the Ethnologue article. When entering the date range, I often ignore dates from countries that have only a few percent of the population, as often 10% or so of the population isn't even separately listed by ''Ethnologue'' and so is undated anyway. If ''Ethnologue'' does not provide a date for the bulk of the population, just enter "no date" in the date field. But if the population figure is undated, and hasn't changed between the 17th & 18th editions of ''Ethnologue'', please leave the ref field set to "e17", and maybe add a comment to keep it so that other editors don't change it. In cases like this, the edition of ''Ethnologue'' that the data first appeared in may be our only indication of how old it is. We still cite the 14th edition in a couple dozen articles, so our readers can see that the data is getting old. The articles in the categories linked above are over 90% of the job. There are probably also articles that do not currently cite Ethnologue, but which we might want to update with the 18th edition. I'll need to generate another category to capture those, probably after most of the ''Ethnologue'' 17 citations are taken care of.

[[WP:BLUELOCK\|Extended confirmed protection]] (also known as "30/500 protection") is a new level of page protection that only allows edits from accounts at least 30 days old and with 500 edits. The automatically assigned [[WP:EXTENDEDCONFIRMED\|"extended confirmed" user right]] was created for this purpose. The protection level was created following [[Wikipedia:Village pump (proposals)/Archive 129#New usergroup with autopromotion to implement arbitration "30-500" bans as a page protection\|this community discussion]] with the primary intention of enforcing various arbitration remedies that prohibited editors under the "30 days/500 edits" threshold to edit certain topic areas. In July and August 2016, [[WP:ECP2016\|a request for comment]] established consensus for community use of the new protection level. Administrators are authorized to apply extended confirmed protection to combat any form of disruption (e.g. vandalism, sock puppetry, edit warring, etc.) on any topic, subject to the following conditions: * '''Extended confirmed protection may only be used in cases where semi-protection has proven ineffective'''. It should not be used as a first resort. * '''A bot will post a notification at [[Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard]] of each use'''.

Since November 2018, six administrator accounts have been compromised and temporarily desysopped. In an effort to help improve account security, our intention was to remind administrators of existing policies on account security — that they are [[Wikipedia:Administrators#Security\|required]] to "have strong passwords and [[Wikipedia:Personal security practices\|follow appropriate personal security practices]]." We have [[Special:Permalink/891851004#Return of permissions for compromised administrator accounts\|updated]] our procedures to ensure that we enforce these policies more strictly in the future.

This is really an unprecedented case in Wikipedia and I really did not exagerrate when I put in disclaimer that Rovoam is the most persistent and obsessive vandal that has ever appeared in WP so far. I think this person gets his motivation from two powerful sources: 1) his personal hatred to me for whatever reasons he has in mind, and 2) almost fanatical nationalism.

Can we deal this longlasting problem again? See [[Talk:Slovene language]]. Categories are also a huge problem. I know you do not care much, but if you would be of Slovene origin, you would care this much more then now. Hypothetic: I can throw another term across the World (let us say 'Slovenaian'), and wait some time, so it might come 'preffered' one. This sentence from [[American Slovenians]] is really funny (at least to me): ''Large Slovenian areas in USA'' - if we ratify a term Slovenian to be related with the modern state of Slovenia. And do not think I do not have something better to do than to just talk all around. I've found (at least an English) version of Wikipedia sometimes very hard to achieve something. And this is just a small problem - naming one nation Slovene, and not with semi-artificial term Slovenian. And I thought that if I shall make valid contributions here, that someone would listen to me and to problems I show. --[[User:XJamRastafire\|xJaM]] 22:33, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC) Thank you for your past contributions to the project. <!-- Template:Inactive admin 2 -->— [[User:JJMC89 bot\|JJMC89 '''bot''']] 00:19, 1 February 2025 (UTC) ~~You can also read this [http://www.carniola.org/theglory/2004/03/faq.htm FAQs] - you might learn something more. --[[User:XJamRastafire\|xJaM]] 22:56, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)~~
