Indic Font Size Help!

Hey Thanks for your message on the forum. I tried the Wikipedia:Bugzilla, but the feature request forum is currently inactive! What do I do?

Priyankoo 15:18, 28 May 2007 (UTC

Hey. Bugzilla is over here. I have never actually used it myself but I know it is (amongst other things) used for requests to change configurations for local wikipedia's, which seems to be what you want. I think you need to create a create an account there and then 'enter a new bug report' (confusing, I know). ssepp^(talk) 15:30, 28 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Assamese literature

The quote from Moffat Mills belong in Assamese language, IMO. Also, this issue was more closely examined by Hiren Gohain (in the 80's, 90's?) which should probably find some place here. Chaipau 14:47, 4 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

A complete overhaul is not needed. The Assamese literature page was created from the Assamese language article by cutting out the literature portion, so that this article could concentrate on its literature. The idea is to include literary criticism in this article. This hasn't happened yet, but would possibly happen at some point in the future. You could help.

Assamese language, otoh, could define the language---phonetics, morphology, historical development---and also discuss the issue of how close it came to being called a Bengali dialect, and why linguistically this cannot be true. Just in passing, though, since there is not need today to rake up a late 19th- early 20th century issue.

There is also a case for examining the linguistic closeness of Assamese with Sylheti/Chittagonian etc.

tip on using Assamese words

Hi Priyankoo, I have noticed that you are inserting Assamese script words in many of the Assam related articles. Good stuff! Please consider using the format ({{lang-as|অসমীয়া শব্দ}}) instead of the long customised formatting below that you have been using:

([[Assamese language|Assamese]]: <span style='font-size:14.0pt'>অসমীয়া শব্দ</span>)

-Deepraj | Talk 10:02, 5 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Can you explain what you mean when you say unicode makes the characters beyond recognition? If I look at http://as.wikipedia.org and http://bpy.wikipedia.org the latter is readable enough although there are other prime examples like http://bn.wikipedia.org where I think the defaults (at least more pleasant sizes) are being used. For the Assamese wikipedia, Firefox2/1024x768 puts user name etc on the top behind the wiki logo as well as introducing horizontal scrolling. Lot of people use even lower res (800x600) screens and they would be having nightmares. What screen res do you use in your observations?-Deepraj | Talk 11:16, 6 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Height of Userbox Assam

Good stuff with the Userbox on Assam. Would you mind if we try to cut down the height to around 45px to fit in with other userboxes? I have a sample comparison in my sandbox if you like -Deepraj | Talk 16:16, 7 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your responses. Its getting interesting, isn't it? Couple of suggestions: (1) consider bringing "line-height" down to 0.85em or so (2)consider the userbox template code. I tried to reproduce the same effect with the 14pt Assamese script using that template and it seemed to be less than half the code size apart from the blue colour on Assam. Result was a bigger rhino and smaller box height though ;-) -Deepraj | Talk 16:22, 8 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Vowel length in Assamese

Hi Priyankoo, could you comment on Assamese vowel length contrasts, please. I am out of my depths here. Look at the following two entries to see what I am driving at. User_talk:SameerKhan#Assamese_script.2Fvowels_etc (I made a comment here) and User_talk:Chaipau#Vowel_length_in_Assamese (SameerKhan finds it interesting). Look forward to your input. Thanks. Chaipau (talk) 16:42, 3 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Assamese vowel length

Hi Priyankoo,

Thanks for the info. That confirms what I had read before about Assamese... as a typological characteristic, Eastern Indic languages do not use vowel length as a distinctive feature, and I would've been surprised if Assamese was an exception. --SameerKhan (talk) 02:33, 7 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Ah yes, I'm still curious about the issue of the ৰ-s in Assamese. I still see them incorrectly. Instead of refs and rôfolas, I see ৰ্‌ (rô with hôshonto) all over the place. So প্রথম looks like পৰ্‌থম, and so on (I hope that what I wrote comes out the way I want it to look!). --SameerKhan (talk) 08:55, 7 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It is possible the font you are using does not support the Assamese ৰ in the প্র ligature (rofola). But if you see the correct ligature with প্ৰ, then you are using the Assamese supported fonts and it is a spelling error. If a font supports the Assamese rofola, then I would expect it to support the reph too. Chaipau (talk) 12:03, 7 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Ref and rôfola again

I use Mozilla Firefox (2.0.0.11) on Windows XP. I have installed the Indic language pack, and thus I can see other languages fine, including rôfola and ref in Bengali. It's only the rôfola and ref of Assamese that don't work. I'll check out www.xodbo.org and see if that helps. Thanks! --SameerKhan (talk) 20:37, 7 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I found out the problem. I use the fonts Bangla and Likhan, both of which only support Bengali র in ligatures (e.g. র্প and প্র). When I use those fonts, the Assamese ligatures both look like পৰ্‌. But when I switch the font to Aharoni, both turn out the way they should look. Unfortunately, I find the fonts Bangla and Likhan to be much prettier, so I'm going to stick with them for now, but once I find a really simple and attractive font that supports both Bengali র and Assamese ৰ in all ligatures, I'll switch to that. Thanks for your guys's help! --SameerKhan (talk) 21:03, 7 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I think the ekushey fonts support Assamese r-ligatures. http://ekushey.org/?page/otf_bangla_fonts#pandd Chaipau (talk) 15:36, 9 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Prosody

No, I didn't find the answer at xobdo.org. I just experimented with my settings.

And re: prosody, yes I have read Shyamal Das's dissertation, and I have met Shakuntala Mahanta at conferences, although I haven't read her dissertation yet. Thanks for the link! --SameerKhan (talk) 02:57, 8 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Notability of Tim and Terry's Music & More

A tag has been placed on Tim and Terry's Music & More requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article appears to be about a real person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable. If this is the first page that you have created, then you should read the guide to writing your first article.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the article (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article 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 article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Horologium (talk) 20:41, 5 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Assamese wikipedia

Do you know what has exactly changed? Does it show on the change logs? I haven't been looking at the Assamese wikipedia lately so don't know when this happened. Do you know when the changes were made? Chaipau (talk) 13:39, 20 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It is kind of difficult to trawl through the logs in Hindi too ;-(. There are ony 4 sysops listed though with you and Chaipau accounting for the half. There were a couple of bans put into effect for vandalism around 12 July. Maybe there is a connection. Check the logs. Further, could there be anything related to the launchpad translations coming into this system? Check Launchpad (https://translations.launchpad.net/wubi/trunk/+pots/wubi/as/) for the Assamese translations...-Deepraj | Talk 17:39, 20 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I have asked someone who says it seems the "namespace" has been changed to Hindi. Currently, I don't know what this means. Please look at [1]. I am trying to figure what we need to do. Chaipau (talk) 14:26, 21 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Your account will be renamed

Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Priyankoo. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Priyankoo~enwiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name. If you think you might own all of the accounts with this name and this message is in error, please visit Special:MergeAccount to check and attach all of your accounts to prevent them from being renamed.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours,
Keegan Peterzell
Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation
