Central Asia
Hi, I'm trying to start some sort of working group to improve the coverage of Central Asia and related topics in Wikipedia. Leave a message on my userpage if you're interested. Aelfthrytha 03:03, 12 May 2006 (UTC)
woot linguists :)
Hey. Very impressive set of Babel boxes you've got there! :)
I've got a query, maybe you can help me out. I'm interested in maybe teaching myself some Uyghur. I've done some undergrad linguistics and beginner/intermediate Mandarin but when I sat down to look at the Uyghur Arabic script I was just like... whoa. I can't even parse it into individual characters. (At least Chinese characters are pretty well defined, where they start and end at least.) Although from your website it doesn't look like you have any personal experience with Uyghur, I was wondering if you might be able to throw some general Turkic-language-learning tips my way. And if you have any thoughts on which scripts are desirable to learn - all 3 simultaneously? not Cyrillic?

Karakalpak
Why did you choose to delete Karakalpak language from the list on the wikiproject page? It seems like the article could still use some expanding. Aelfthrytha 22:15, 6 July 2006 (UTC)
- Good point...I put it back on there. I guess it's no longer a stub, but it definitely needs further work.Straughn 14:52, 7 July 2006 (UTC)
Dance capitalization
I noticed that you listed yourself as a linguist. There is currently a dispute at the Lindy Hop article the Dance WikiProject about the capitalization of dances that could use the expertise of a linguist. If you think you might be able to help, we would certainly appreciate your comments. Thanks! --Cswrye 05:26, 25 July 2006 (UTC)
- Hmm... not exactly a linguistics problem. I can't say I have much of an opinion either way. Straughn 13:45, 25 July 2006 (UTC)
Cypriot Turkish dialect
Hi, as a Turkish Cypriot i was pleased with the article you created. You may be interested in these links: http://www.cypnet.co.uk/ncyprus/people/cypturks/language.html - a list of words different between Cypriot and mainland Turkish.
Here is also a database of Turkish Cypriot idioms: http://www.stwing.upenn.edu/~durduran/cgi-bin/deyim/index.shtml. Unfortunately neither website provides a English translation for the words or idioms. Feel free to include them on the article if you wish. --A.Garnet 11:24, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

Hi, if you have the time I would like your input on whether to delete the article on Yerzhan Ashykbayev, the Foreign Ministry spokesman of the Government of Kazakhstan. Thanks, KazakhPol 18:36, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

Uzbek Scouting
Can you help render Tayor Bol (Be Prepared), the Scout Motto, into Uzbek script, both Cyrillic and new? Thanks! Chris 06:17, 13 August 2007 (UTC)
Good Evening, please, can you translate in Kazakh and Uzbek the article Martin Weinek and Kaspar Capparoni? Thanks in advance!
Good evening to you and regards from Campora San Giovanni. I write you regarding the articles of a note police television series: Inspector Rex. For better saying some principal actors of the international series. Martin Weinek and Kaspar Capparoni. Weinek is the veteran of the Austrian series, now real member of the series international, as well as excellent agricultural and theatrical entrepreneur and an experienced wine-grower. Capparoni is the new entry of the series, but he has already worked and he works for international productions and with famous directors, I quote among everybody: Dario Argento. I think that the series will arrive within the winter 2008 thanks also to Rai International, that will be transmitted in 150 countries and in more than 70 languages, among which the Kazakh and Uzbek. Naturally if you will help me in this, me rechanged really the favor translating a biography or a geographical article in Italian and Sicilian. In fact on the Italian edition they are biographer and geographer. In attends him of one certain answer of yours I thank you in advance and I greet you from Campora San Giovanni, my village native. Thanks still for the patience and the understanding.--Lodewijk Vadacchino (talk) 20:40, 27 September 2008 (UTC)

Population update project
Hi. 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 {{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.
Jump in at the WP:LANG talk page if you have any comments or concerns. Thanks for any help you can give!

Bkissin (talk) 15:11, 26 May 2022 (UTC)Societas Uralo-Altaica moved to draftspace
An article you recently created, Societas Uralo-Altaica, is not suitable 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. ~StyyxTalk? 18:56, 1 June 2022 (UTC)

Nomination for featured list
Hello, I saw your excellent list you made for List of municipalities in Arkansas. You inspired me to update the page itself and bring it up to featured list standards, and I'm wondering once we sort out the date column issue if you would be interested in co-nominating the list for featured list? Mattximus (talk) 14:45, 14 July 2022 (UTC)
- That would be great! I've never contributed to a featured article before. I'll get the list updated in a few hours or so. Straughn (talk) 14:53, 14 July 2022 (UTC)
- I've updated the page with the new list. I'll continue to work through dates of incorporation. It would be nice to have all of these, correctly formatted, before we nominate the article. Straughn (talk) 18:13, 14 July 2022 (UTC)
- Yep they very strict about citations. I will try to update the lead a bit more using that pdf of the functions of the different levels before we co-nominate and hopefully you will have your first featured list! Mattximus (talk) 02:30, 24 July 2022 (UTC)
- Hi there, thanks again for all your work getting these pages up to the most recent census data. For this article, I wrote a bit more of a lead, and looking for any last minute things before nominating. I did notice you wrote the dates for Blytheville vary, but I think we will need the sources to show that they vary. Do you happen to have them handy? Other than that, is there anything else in the article you can see before we nominate? Mattximus (talk) 19:55, 26 July 2022 (UTC)
- I've added a specific reference to the Encyclopedia of Arkansas for that specific town. I also noticed that the Geographic Areas Reference Manual citation was dead, so I located its new home on the Census Bureau website. Otherwise, everything looks pretty good. If you're confident in nominating, I'm ready. Straughn (talk) 20:30, 26 July 2022 (UTC)
- Ok let's do it! I'll post it with both of us as co-nominators. Mattximus (talk) 18:43, 27 July 2022 (UTC)
- Great! Thank you so much! I've started on Hawaii, which I believe is the next one lacking 2020 census data, here. Or we could go back and clean up lists that already have 2020 data. Straughn (talk) 20:28, 27 July 2022 (UTC)

- Excellent, Hawaii is weird though, if I recall they don't have municipalities just counties or equivalents? We can unfortunately only nominate one list at a time, but the first one is already on the way! Wikipedia:Featured list candidates/List of municipalities in Arkansas/archive1. I answered most of the first batch of questions. Mattximus (talk) 16:27, 28 July 2022 (UTC)
- Thanks for all your efforts, it looks like the list will pass featured list review with all those supports! Would you be interested in getting another list up to this standard? If so I can start preparing it in advance! Just let me know, I'm happy to work on any list. Mattximus (talk) 16:33, 11 August 2022 (UTC)
- Sure thing! I've got Hawaii here: https://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/User:Straughn/sandbox
- There's some disambiguation and red link issues, but I think it's a good start. Now that I know about making tables more accessible, I'd like to fix that before we paste this into the preexisting page. Straughn (talk) 19:51, 11 August 2022 (UTC)

Please
Please do not create stubs off of GNIS or GEONAMES entries. They both have significant reliability problems and it just wastes the time of others who have to review them if you do not include otehr sources that establish notability. Mangoe (talk) 20:36, 8 August 2022 (UTC)
Promotion of List of municipalities in Arkansas
Removal of 2000 Census data
Why you are removing 2000 Census data from various pages? Did you get consensus to do this?Patapsco913 (talk) 23:41, 1 October 2022 (UTC)
- @Patapsco913 Data from 2000 is seriously out of date and is no longer relevant. Pages for municipalities usually have charts with historical population data, which should be sufficient. If we retain 2000 data, then we might as well include data from every census on the pages for every municipality. Straughn (talk) 04:29, 2 October 2022 (UTC)
Kőrösi Csoma Society moved to draftspace
An article you recently created, Kőrösi Csoma Society, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more in-depth coverage about the subject itself, with citations from reliable, independent sources in order to show it meets WP:GNG. (?) 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.Onel5969 TT me 13:41, 4 October 2022 (UTC)
