Although everyone is invited to contribute, at least one of your recent edits, such as the one you made to Croatia, did not appear to be constructive and has been reverted or removed. Please use the sandbox for any test edits you would like to make, and read the welcome page to learn more about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. Thank you.--Tomobe03 (talk) 19:05, 1 July 2012 (UTC)

The spelling "Rfepublika Hrvatska" under [Croatia] is an obvious typo and I have a right to correct it. See the Croatian language entry at hr.wikipedia to verify that the correct spelling is "Republika".Arrecife (talk) 23:30, 1 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Right, but in the process, you presumably accidentally, deleted bulk (125K) of the article the first time around - see article history.--Tomobe03 (talk) 00:25, 2 July 2012 (UTC)

My apologies, I'll forgive your mistake if you'll forgive mine. HTML has never been my strong point.Arrecife (talk) 01:25, 2 July 2012 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for June 22
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited List of languages by number of native speakers, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Thai (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 08:47, 22 June 2014 (UTC)

Warning
You are falsifying sources at List of languages by number of native speakers. This is a violation of WP:RS and WP:SYNTH. If you continue to WP:EDITWAR, I will request to have you WP:BLOCKED. — kwami (talk) 00:18, 11 August 2015 (UTC)


 * "Zhuang languages

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Zhuang languages (autonym: Vahcuengh (pre-1982: Vaƅcueŋƅ, Sawndip: 話僮), from vah 'language' and Cuengh 'Zhuang'; simplified Chinese: 壮语; traditional Chinese: 壯語; pinyin: Zhuàngyǔ) are any of more than a dozen Tai languages spoken by the Zhuang people of southern China in the province of Guangxi and adjacent parts of Yunnan and Guangdong. The Zhuang languages do not form a monophyletic linguistic unit, as northern and southern Zhuang languages are more closely related to other Tai languages than to each other."

It says quite clearly that Zhuang is not a single language, and this quote comes directly from wikipedia. I do not see how I am falsifying anything, and I would like to see you quote any source that says that Zhuang is a single language. Arrecife (talk) 00:41, 11 August 2015 (UTC)

Template:COVID-19 pandemic data/Canada medical cases by province: NS numbers
Per today's update, Nova Scotia's current numbers are: Tests: 46,668 + 1,061 = 47,729 Cases: 1,061 Deaths: 62 Active: 5 Recovered: 994 ("Resolved") Could you make the changes? I'm not yet confident I'd get all the 'downstream' numbers correct. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jmdyck (talk • contribs) 00:12, 11 June 2020 (UTC)


 * Done! NS figures are in some disarray. Arrecife (talk) 03:15, 11 June 2020 (UTC)


 * Thanks. I was expecting the national Tests number to change, but I guess you source that number from somewhere (as opposed to just adding up the province/territory numbers). Nova Scotia's numbers have indeed had problems, although it looks like they'll be better starting today. Jmdyck (talk) 03:38, 11 June 2020 (UTC)

Gothic Revival architecture
Hi, thanks for your interest in the above. Would you be able to add a cite for your addition re. Londonderry Cathedral? I've put quite a lot of effort in to try and bring the article up to 2020 citation standards, and we shouldn't be adding a fact, or ending a paragraph, without a formatted cite. Many thanks.

Markup generator for Washington COVID cases template
I have created an online spreadsheet that automates generation of the cases/100k column. See the template talk page and the template source. EphemeralErrata (talk) 05:59, 17 September 2020 (UTC)

"through the previous day"
Hi, I added the above phrase because Washington has a case reporting cutoff of around midnight. Thus, the report on the 22nd included cases from the start of the pandemic through the 21st, but not any reported on the 22nd. (Whereas other health departments report whatever was in their computer system at the time the report was run.) I did not mean for the phrase to describe the interval of new cases in the update. I was looking for a succinct way to indicate 11:59PM / midnight / 12:01AM without having to be specific - and also something that doesn't need constant updating. Do you have an alternate suggestion? EphemeralErrata (talk) 18:20, 23 February 2021 (UTC)
 * I have gone back to the old formula.Arrecife (talk) 01:04, 24 February 2021 (UTC)
 * All the numbers, except incidence, in the county table are in units of "people." Thus vaccinations should be number of people vaccinated, not doses given. There's a choice of vaccinations initiated (i.e. first dose) or vaccinations completed (i.e. single injection or series done.) As first doses have a bigger epidemiological impact, that's the number I've chosen to report for the states I update. This can be found in the middle column of the html table below the dashboard. EphemeralErrata (talk) 20:28, 25 May 2021 (UTC)
 * I'll leave vaccines to you for the time being.Arrecife (talk) 04:43, 26 May 2021 (UTC)
