(Belated) welcome to Wikipedia

Hello Blillehaugen, and Welcome to Wikipedia!

Please remember to sign your name on talk pages by clicking   or using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your username and the date. Also, please do your best to always fill in the edit summary field. Below are some useful links to facilitate your involvement.

I realise you've been editing here on occasion for a little while now, but I thought I'd take the opportunity (since no-one had yet done so) to (in)formally welcome you to wikipedia. Thanks for your contribs and updates to Zapotec languages; I gather you've published some material on these langs, always good to see contributors with some expertise around. Given your research, you may possibly be interested to check out WikiProject Mesoamerica, a collaboration of editors with the interest and aim towards improving articles related to Mesoamerican history, anthropology, linguistics, &c. Any general queries, comments or calls for assistance can be notified at the project's discussion board, although posting to the relevant articles' talk pages also usually does the trick. Anyways, hope to see you around- cheers, and

Happy editing! cjllw ʘ TALK 04:08, 30 January 2008 (UTC)Reply

Welcome to Wikipedia edit

Welcome to wikipedia. Your recent contributions have helped better the coverage of topics related to Mesoamerican languages - a topic which is in need of much better coverage.

If you have any queries, doubts or if you need help with some of the intricacies of wikipedia, feel free to post at the WP Mesoamerica Talkpage and someone will be right along and help you.·Maunus· ·ƛ· 09:31, 31 January 2008 (UTC)Reply

Hey! edit

Hey there! It's Sameer from the department! I'm not using your name just in case you wanted to remain anonymous on Wikipedia. I saw you were updating Pam's page, and so I thought I'd say hello! --SameerKhan (talk) 06:10, 5 February 2008 (UTC)Reply

Hi Brook! Yes, I'd love to visit. Let me just finish this pesky little dissertation first... --SameerKhan (talk) 20:57, 6 February 2008 (UTC)Reply


Heya Brook! edit

Gotta get up pretty early in the morning to say hello in Zapotec to you. ;-)

I'm happy to get in touch with another linguist here on Wikipedia. Actually I your username rings a bell—but I never put two & two together that it was you. Thanks for your kind words about my dedication. You know how it goes—one is never satisfied... I guess that's why Wikipedia keeps growing! babbage (talk) 23:20, 22 September 2010 (UTC)Reply

Zapotec subclassification edit

Hi,

I've started a tree at Zapotec language#Internal, as a way of organizing the individual Zapotec-language articles as they are written. But I don't know how reliable or well received Merrill is, and am pretty much guessing when I add the languages she does not address. If you have any suggestions or changes, I'd appreciate it. — kwami (talk) 10:18, 8 May 2012 (UTC)Reply

Latin American 10,000 Challenge invite edit

Hi. The Wikipedia:WikiProject Latin America/The 10,000 Challenge ‎ has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge and Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like Brazil, Mexico, Peru and Argentina etc, much like Wikipedia:The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. At some stage we hope to run some contests to benefit Latin American content, a destubathon perhaps, aimed at reducing the stub count would be a good place to start, based on the current Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon. If you would like to see this happening for Latin America, and see potential in this attracting more interest and editors for the country/countries you work on please sign up and being contributing to the challenge! This is a way we can target every country of Latin America, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant!♦ --Ser Amantio di NicolaoChe dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 00:27, 27 October 2016 (UTC)Reply
