Terra Ignota
I've created Terra Ignota (series) to cover the entire set of four books, as I didn't think it proper to repeat the worldbuilding and setting information in each book. There might be an argument to split off individual novel pages from a single page about the series as a whole if it gets too long, but I don't think that argument will carry much weight until the fourth book is out. I'm sorry to step on your toes, but you've not edited the page in a week, so I assume that means you're not able to at the moment. I welcome your help in writing the page.

A belated welcome!


Here's wishing you a belated welcome to Wikipedia, James Hyett. I see that you've already been around a while and wanted to thank you for your contributions. Though you seem to have been successful in finding your way around, you may benefit from following some of the links below, which help editors get the most out of Wikipedia:
 * Introduction

Google Code-In 2019 is coming - please mentor some documentation tasks!
Hello,

Google Code-In, Google-organized contest in which the Wikimedia Foundation participates, starts in a few weeks. This contest is about taking high school students into the world of opensource. I'm sending you this message because you recently edited a documentation page at the English Wikipedia.

I would like to ask you to take part in Google Code-In as a mentor. That would mean to prepare at least one task (it can be documentation related, or something else - the other categories are Code, Design, Quality Assurance and Outreach) for the participants, and help the student to complete it. Please sign up at the contest page and send us your Google account address to google-code-in-admins@lists.wikimedia.org, so we can invite you in!

From my own experience, Google Code-In can be fun, you can make several new friends, attract new people to your wiki and make them part of your community.

If you have any questions, please let us know at google-code-in-admins@lists.wikimedia.org.

Thank you!

Proposed deletion of The Mayor of Garret


The article The Mayor of Garret has been proposed for deletion&#32;because of the following concern: "Unsourced plot-only article, and does not appear to be notable."

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. MoonyTheDwarf (Braden N.)

Straight vs curly apostrophes in Wet'suwet'en / Wet’suwet’en
Thank you for your edits at Delgamuukw v British Columbia. I'll also be continuing to help improve the article and other related articles, so I was wondering about your decision to switch the straight apostrophes to curly apostrophes. Is this a significant distinction that warrants deviating from MOS:'? Sancho 21:25, 8 March 2020 (UTC)

Hey there! The apostrophes indicate (erroneously in the first case, but it is the accepted spelling) that the t's are actually Ejective consonants (ie [tʼ]) which are represented with curly apostrophes in the IPA and writing systems that use them, such as that of the Babine-Witsuwitʼen language. I admit I had overlooked that section of MOS, and I wonder if there might be a discussion somewhere regarding ejective consonants and the use of curly apostrophes... In fact, I've just noticed that even in the first line of that page there is inconsistency! James Hyett (talk) 15:21, 9 March 2020 (UTC)

David J. Peterson's involvement in Lovecraft Country
Hello! How did you learn that David J. Peterson had created a language for Lovecraft Country? I couldn't find anything to confirm this, so I asked him and he just told me "I will tell you that I did indeed work on that show, but I’m afraid I’m not ever going to talk about it beyond that", so how did you know he worked on this show? G. H. Wojnicz (talk) 19:31, 22 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Hiya! Sorry, I probably should have provided a reference for that, but I am not entirely clear on how to cite end credits! I noticed he was credited in the final episode as "Language of Adam" Consultant or something along those lines. James Hyett (talk) 19:51, 22 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Thank you. I asked Peterson if he had indeed worked on the show, he said "I will tell you that I did indeed work on that show, but I’m afraid I’m not ever going to talk about it beyond that. Let’s just say I rather people not know I worked on the show, but won’t go so far as to lie and say I didn’t." I've no idea why, but since he's not willing to talk about this experience, I was just wondering how you had heard about it. G. H. Wojnicz (talk) 20:15, 22 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Wow, that's interesting to know. Thanks for checking in. James Hyett (talk) 20:33, 22 October 2020 (UTC)
