Democracy Index

Hey, I noticed you have made a change to the color scheme of the Democracy Index page. As of right now, there is not an apparent need for another color (the fact that the color scheme is lopsided does not necessarily need another color should be added). If you would like to add another color, I suggest you start a discussion in the article's Talk page. TheGEICOgecko (talk) 09:56, 30 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Ngwii language (November 19)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Theroadislong was:

This draft's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article. In summary, the draft needs multiple published sources that are:

in-depth (not just passing mentions about the subject)
reliable
secondary
independent of the subject

Make sure you add references that meet these criteria before resubmitting. Learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue. If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit after they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Ngwii language and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you do not edit your draft in the next 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
If you need any assistance, or have experienced any untoward behavior associated with this submission, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk, on the reviewer's talk page or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

August 2024

Hi ZKevinTheCat! I noticed that you recently marked an edit as minor at Sino-Tibetan languages that may not have been. "Minor edit" has a specific definition on Wikipedia—it refers only to superficial edits that could never be the subject of a dispute, such as typo corrections or reverting obvious vandalism. Any edit that changes the meaning of an article is not a minor edit, even if it only concerns a single word. Thank you. Remsense ‥ 诉 21:36, 17 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I have sent you a note about a page you started

Hi ZKevinTheCat. Thank you for your work on Shirongol languages. Another editor, Botterweg14, has reviewed it as part of new pages patrol and left the following comment:

Hey! Nice job with this article! If you want to expand it further, Hans Nugteren's contribution to the The Oxford Guide to the Transeurasian Languages has some nice discussion of this language family as well as more general discussion of the internal structure of Mongolic. He also points the reader to the chapters by Birtalan, Bläsing, Skribnik, and Svantesson in the Routledge "Mongolic Languages" volume that you already used here.
In terms of content, one thing that would be nice to expand upon is the origins of the family and its relationship both to history (e.g. the waxing and waning of the Mongol Empire) and to issues in historical linguistics (e.g. genetic relationships versus sprachbunds). I only skimmed the sources I was looking at, but it seems like these are interesting aspects of the topic.
But once again, nice article!
