York
Hi. Most, probably all, people in England pronounce "York" as "Yawk" or possibly "Yaak". In other words, the "r" is not heard. IPA, about which I know little, but which I presume is American, seems to assume that all "r"s are always to be pronounced, but that is often not the case in Britain. I see that you removed "local" from the pronunciation in the York article. Could you perhaps replicate there something along the lines of what has been done for Worcester where there has been a similar problem? Here it is:


 * Worcester (, locally )

I could attempt this myself, but would probably mess it up. Let me know if this is a problem. Best wishes. --GuillaumeTell 18:32, 14 February 2011 (UTC)
 * As you can see not all people in England pronounce it as 'yawk' (red area is where the 'r' is spoken): File:RhoticEngland.png (in the 50s) not even in today's RP-influenced "high class speech": File:RhoticEngland2.png
 * I removed the "local" after Kwamikagami changed it from to  which is more liberal and also considers people from e. g. Devon who make a distinction between  and . My proposal would be
 * York or
 * York (, local IPA_for_English (closed /o/ because of this)
 * but I guess most users would prefer the former. Regards, F. F. Fjodor (talk) 19:48, 14 February 2011 (UTC)

Mm, thanks for the above - interesting maps, too, which do show rhotic gradually disappearing into the undergrowth. (I speak RP myself, but (IMO) it's dying out and being supplanted by Londonish accents influenced by TV.) Could you perhaps put a slightly less technical and slightly more explanatory version of the above (for the benefit of non-linguisticians) on the York Talk page so that it can be discussed there. Or I could do it if you'd rather not. --GuillaumeTell 22:45, 14 February 2011 (UTC)


 * The IPA is little known or used in the USA with  the exception  of linguists. It  is extremely  widespread and well  known in  most  other parts of the world and is a standard tool  of all  students, teachers and researches of languages and linguistics. It  is particularly  useful  as a common pronunciation reference for people who  study  or who  work with  many  difefrent  languages, especialy  those that  are not  based on  Latin  script. --Kudpung (talk) 02:58, 15 February 2011 (UTC)

I now changed it to my first proposal. If someone objects it I'm gonna discuss it on the talk page.--F. F. Fjodor (talk) 20:06, 15 February 2011 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for November 10
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Germany national rugby union team, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Paul Weiss and Alexander Hug. 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.

Proposed deletion of American Gypsies


The article American Gypsies has been proposed for deletion&#32;because of the following concern: "Non notable show that clearly fails WP:GNG for lack of significant coverage from reliable secondary sources. One source only exists from my search and that was the one currently in the article. Sadly, that does not fulfill significant coverage needed, thus not making it notable by itself."

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.
