Welcome!

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia, the greatest encyclopedia on Earth! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are a few good links for newcomers:

I noticed you are known only as an IP address; that means you are not signed up. When you are you will get a username like mine. (See Wikipedia:Why create an account?). It only takes a username and password to sign up, no information needed (go to Special:Userlogin to sign up). Once you are signed up, you will have a recognizable name that others can use in identifying and corresponding with you. In addition, you might want to add yourself to the new user log.

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and vote pages using three tildes, like this: ~~~. Four tildes (~~~~) produces your name and the current date. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. Again, welcome!

Harold Fleming edit

Hi - I note that you have made this a disambiguation page and have created a new article for the footballer at Harold John Fleming. For future reference, to do this you should firstly "Move" the existing article to its new title and then create a new article with the original article as the Disambiguation page. This then retains the history of the original article and also the links from other articles. Out of courtesy you should now go through the links to the Harold Fleming article (via the "What links here" tab in the toolbox at the left and change them all to read Harold Fleming. Best wishes.

Petusek, you should sign your comments with four tildes, as follows.~~~~ This automagically creates a signature with a link to your userpage.*Kutaka(-lu) 05:54, 10 April 2007 (UTC)Reply

Sorry, when in a hurry, I sometimes forget to click on the "sign" button :-) Or, when I open my laptop after some time, there is an automatic log off - I sometimes forget to log in again. --Pet'usek [petr dot hrubis at gmail dot com] 22:04, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

Dene-Caucasian edit

Hi, Petusek. Just letting you know I've made a rather large comment on the talk page at Dene-Caucasian languages that you'll probably want to give your opinions on. Take care, --Miskwito 20:39, 3 September 2007 (UTC)Reply

Re:Help or advice needed edit

I have had a look at what the IP has done, and yes, some policies appear to have been violated. What you'll need to do is revert the article back to the date you wish to restore it to. I'd then correct the re-correct the spelling which you corrected after the IP edits were made. ;-) Lradrama 14:40, 27 November 2007 (UTC)Reply


I have reverted the IPs edits. You may wish to do this yourself. Please read Help:Reverting and try it out on the sandbox or something. You cannot block the IP because that is restricted to administrators only. I can only block the IP if his vandalism is persistant. Please let me know if the IP bothers you again, and you feel he should be blocked. Lradrama 18:29, 23 December 2007 (UTC)Reply

DY edit

Hi Petr,

You can email most editors by visiting their user page, going to Toolbox (left side below the search window), and clicking 'E-mail this user'. What impressed me about the DY idea, besides knowing the author and the general quality of his work, is the positive reception it received among linguists who I know are also very careful in their work. That's rare for a long-range proposal. kwami (talk) 17:39, 26 June 2008 (UTC)Reply

Image permission problem with Image:Merritt Ruhlen.jpg edit

 
Image Copyright problem

Thanks for uploading Image:Merritt Ruhlen.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the image (or other media file) agreed to license it under the given license.

If you created this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either

  • make a note permitting reuse under the GFDL or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
  • Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en@wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the image to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the image has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the image's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Images lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. dave pape (talk) 15:02, 12 March 2009 (UTC)Reply

Borean languages edit

An editor is questioning notability as well as altering presentation in ways I feel are unhelpful. Would appreciate your input at Talk:Borean languages. --JWB (talk) 20:29, 25 February 2010 (UTC)Reply

Chudinov edit

There is website Lingvofreaks.narod.ru, and it has a page about Chudinov: http://lingvofreaks.narod.ru/chudinov/

The section "Разбор полетов:" ("Blaimstorming") contains links to some criticism materials. Hellerick (talk) 13:23, 21 April 2010 (UTC)Reply

Barnstar Award edit

  The Special Barnstar
I, Stevey7788, hereby award you a Special Barnstar for your tireless work on linguistics. Even though not everyone agrees with those mega-family proposals (even myself), you have nevertheless written a great deal of high-quality tables and explanations of language superfamilies that are absolutely fascinating. Your contributions on Caucasian languages and Yeniseian languages are simply one-of-a-kind. I hope you'll keep up the great work! — Stevey7788 (talk) 08:39, 27 October 2010 (UTC)Reply

pharynɡ. edit

Hey,

I changed the pharyngeal diacritic in your 40-word lists. Hope you don't mind. What you had was not the actual IPA symbol; though it looks identical in most fonts, it can cause coding problems. I've yet to figure out why Unicode has both. (I created a custom IPA keyboard, and, wouldn't you know, it produces the wrong diacritic, so I've been cleaning up the mess that I've caused and whatever else I can find.) — kwami (talk) 00:59, 12 November 2010 (UTC)Reply

References for Proto-Dene-Caucasian article edit

Can you include any references for the Proto-Dene-Caucasian article (which you have created?) The article was created in 2007, and it still doesn't cite any references or sources. Jarble (talk) 17:22, 19 November 2012 (UTC)Reply

Actually, I thought someone else was going to continue. I'll have a look at it anyway. Thanks! --Pet'usek [petrdothrubisatgmaildotcom] 09:55, 8 January 2013 (UTC)Reply

The pronunciation of Czech ⟨ř⟩ edit

Hello. I've written something in the talk page of the article Czech phonology. I'd be really delighted if you would be so kind as to answer me. Thank you very much indeed, and greetings from Italy. Pio d'Ausonia (talk) 10:09, 8 September 2017 (UTC)Reply

It's at the end of the section Pronunciation of ř. Pio d'Ausonia (talk) 10:09, 8 September 2017 (UTC)Reply
Thank you very much indeed. Your explanations are extremely clear and precise, and very useful to me. I'm studying them carefully, and I'll try to put into practice your advice. The articulation of /r̝/ is now quite clear, in every particular (before, it wasn't!) ;-) Pio d'Ausonia (talk) 22:21, 21 September 2017 (UTC)Reply
Always happy to help. ;-) Should you ever need me to check your pronunciation, feel free to let me know. We can also try some skyping. Or, you can send me (a (download) link to) some (audio/video)recordings of your achievements. I'm sure you'll be doing fine anyway. Cheers! ;-)--Pětušek 19:48, 24 September 2017 (UTC)Reply
