ISO 963-6
Hi Justin,

I see you're adding ISO6 codes to some of the language articles. That's fine when they have no ISO3 code, but I worry it might be problematic otherwise. The people who developed the ISO6 standard are completely ignorant of comparative linguistics, so they aren't a reliable source. The web site is broken, and has been ever since it went up, so it's not a very useful source either. Also, listing several codes without explanation of how they differ, as you did at Xiang Chinese, is not helpful to our readers, nor is repeating the ISO3 code in the ISO6 field. I think it's probably best to be cautious in adding ISO6 codes; maybe you could start a discussion at WP:LANG if you're planning on putting a lot of time into it? (On the other hand, there are cases like Manx, where ISO6 makes a useful distinction between historical and revived Manx.)

Also, please don't remove "none" from the ISO3 field. It's there to indicate that the language is not covered by an ISO code. Removing it will generate errors that will just need to be reviewed and fixed.

Disambiguation link notification for September 18
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited List of common Chinese surnames, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Chu (surname) and So (surname). 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.

Hi thanks for using the template at Foochow Romanized. There was an error with its usage. Please see this correction how it works. Any archive can be used, such as webcitation.org, archive.is etc.. more info at the documentation page. -- Green  C  23:48, 6 November 2016 (UTC)

Taishanese section of your userpage
Hi Justin! Impressive userpage you've got there—I wished I had even superficial knowledge of every one of the languages you've included.

I have just a minor suggestion to the Taishanese section: I think the Taishanese pronunciation for 大家好 should be
 * ai` ga>- hao- and ai32 ga215 hɔu55

instead of
 * ai` ga' hao- and ai32 ga33 hɔu55

(as well as corresponding corrections for the other two romanisations).

The only dictionary-like entry I could find to back this up was the Defense Language Institute course, where it notes a changed tone on 家 in its transcription for 大家 that sounds like /ka215/ (a changed low falling tone) instead of /ka33/ (mid level tone). This also happens to be similar to how Stephen Li transcribes 大家 in his transcription of the course, which is [?ai32 ga215].

Anyway, it's good to see you on Wikipedia as well as Wiktionary. I still have a preference for the latter, though. Feels cosier. Chagneling (talk) 09:23, 25 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Thanks for pointing this out, Chagneling! I'm happy that there someone else to work on Taishanese, which is still in its baby steps at Wiktionary. I totally agree that Wiktionary is much cosier; that's why I'm there more often than here. Justinrleung (talk) 21:58, 25 June 2017 (UTC)

A page you started (Quanzhou dialect (disambiguation)) has been reviewed!
Thanks for creating Quanzhou dialect (disambiguation), Justinrleung!

Wikipedia editor Boleyn just reviewed your page, and wrote this note for you:

"Thanks for creating this. Entries must have an article, meet MOS:DABMENTION or meet MOS:DABRL. I've removed the second entry, and we don't have dabs for one. Per WP:2DABS, even if an article was created on the second entry, a hatnote would be best, rather than a disambiguation page."

To reply, leave a comment on Boleyn's talk page.

Speedy deletion nomination of Quanzhou dialect (disambiguation)


A tag has been placed on Quanzhou dialect (disambiguation) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G6 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an orphaned disambiguation page which either
 * disambiguates two or fewer extant Wikipedia pages and whose title ends in "(disambiguation)" (i.e., there is a primary topic); or
 * disambiguates no (zero) extant Wikipedia pages, regardless of its title.

Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such pages may be deleted at any time. Please see the disambiguation page guidelines for more information.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Boleyn (talk) 07:01, 6 July 2017 (UTC)

Question
Hi Justin, I'm almost finished working on the Langgan page, and have a question about an Infobox Chinese display problem with two seal characters. Both 琅-seal.svg and 玕-seal.svg are visible on computers, but only 琅-seal.svg on (at least my) mobile devices. Do you have any idea why the mobile m.wikipedia would only show one graph? Keahapana (talk) 22:13, 12 July 2017 (UTC)
 * I think it might be how the infobox interacts with Photomontage, but I'm not too familiar with how these templates work. Justinrleung (talk) 23:15, 12 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Thanks. I'll let you know if I figure it out. Best wishes, Keahapana (talk) 23:39, 12 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Hi Justin, I read that the solution is to combine the graphs into one file, but am unsure about what upload form and copyright tag to use. Do you have any idea? Thanks, Keahapana (talk) 22:30, 30 August 2017 (UTC)

Appreciate the enthusiasm, but ...
... please don't overuse the WP:Notifications/Thanks feature. It triggers a notice with each use, and one "thank" is enough for an entire series of related edits. :-) I thought at first I'd triggered some kind of huge dispute or something.  — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ &gt;ʌⱷ҅ᴥⱷʌ&lt;  05:35, 26 November 2017 (UTC)

A reason to unblock me from Wiktionary
Hello,

Look at the page for. That quote there needs to be added to, , and. And why is 大國 not in, as it needs to be? Besides, really should be in  and,  ought to be in  and  (cf. ),  and  needs to be in. Furthermore, that untranslated passage on, , and needs the James Legge translation "Confucius went to see Lao Dan, and arrived just as he had completed the bathing of his head, and was letting his dishevelled hair get dry." (It's from here.)

Yes, I know you blocked me from editing my own talk page because of me refusing to stop pinging you, but the point I'm trying to make here is that if I weren't blocked from Wiktionary, I would make those edits myself. And these proposed edits aren't even disruptive, are they?

Besides, what do you think of my idea for Wiktionary to have a "Draft" namespace (like Wikipedia already does)? Personally, I hope it's not too disruptive, as the tentative entries created won't exactly be in the "Main" namespace, and furthermore, other editors should hopefully be able to review them. In fact, I suppose there should be a requirement made that if someone creates a draft, no one (draft-creator or otherwise) will be able to publish it in the Main namespace until a knowledgeable editor gives feedback (or, instead, simply publishes the needed entry in the Main namespace). See, that way, there might still be a backlog of uncreated entries, but at least several of them will be easier for a knowledgeable user to create. Think of it this way: Per WP:Stub Makers, it is  NOT  inherently disruptive for someone to create a bunch of stub articles on Wikipedia, provided that they provide "an accurate and precise description of the article['s subject] with at least one reference cited". (Why doesn't Wiktionary have its own equivalents of the WP:REALPROBLEM and/or WP:BUILDER essays??)

Anyway, I still  really  wish you had emphasized how much of a complete waste of your time it was for you to rewrite my inaccurate entries when giving me warnings about my inaccurate Chinese definitions. See, I thought that your problem with my editing was simply the fact that my Chinese definitions were off, but that was sort of belied by 3 things (or rather, your warnings' effects were diminished by 3 things):

1. Those entries were always rewritten (or refined, or whatever) within (usually) a day or two.

2. None of those entries seemed to create any WP:CITOGENESIS or anything, quite unlike, say, the Jar'Edo Wens hoax.

3. There's also (of course!) the fact that I never knew those particular entries were subpar until you pointed them out to me on my talk page. (I really wish you and had mentioned me in the edit summaries whenever correcting my edits.)

Anyway, I have to go now, I have to do some stuff outside. Talk to you later. Shāntián Tàiláng (talk) 23:15, 13 March 2022 (UTC)


 * Oh! I forgot to mention: was given a permablock for block evasion (and he had an actual sockpuppet account, ). Yet some time later, he was given a second chance and unblocked. What prompted this? Do you know? And is there any way I could be given a second chance on Wiktionary through similar means?  Shāntián Tàiláng (talk) 23:24, 13 March 2022 (UTC)


 * And FYI— here's some actual logged-out editing (and on WP too, even though I've never been blocked on WP) that I did the very first time I was blocked from WT, in January 2019. Now here's a question for not just you but also Why on Earth didn't anyone submit that to  back then??? (Yes,, I  know  you've been indefinitely blocked from WP, but you're still active on WT, wherefore I'm alerting you as well.) Shāntián Tàiláng (talk) 15:26, 15 March 2022 (UTC)
 * @Shāntián Tàiláng: Note that I don't know enough about your language to judge the edits and neither I'm going to get involved in that part. For the blocking part, it's totally legitimate to edit from your IP, an alternative account, or even an undisclosed or secret alt; just that one should not edit while blocked on their one account/IP, i.e. not evade a block, or double vote; you evaded the block, hence you were given a longer one; the first time, it could have simply gotten missed or people didn't care about it enough to immediately give a longer block... As for the second chance, I'm sure you would also get one if you also learn from the mistakes and not try to make more unblock requests and come back for it a year later or so. From what I have seen, things like "this was my coworker" don't usually work, whether correct or wrong, if there was a checkuser investigation confirming it (which I cannot see, although I think it may be useful to allow some other non-checkuser groups to see the log). My advice is to be patient, wait for a good amount of time, then try getting a conditional unblock or so and make good edits (I think there was any Wikipedia article on such cases too, although I do not remember). Again, I can't judge the edits, blocks, or anything like that. --Svartava (talk) 15:47, 15 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Thanks, but I have to hand it to you, that would be a lot easier for me if I had an ISP with time-travel capabilities like the Superphone in Doctor Who. That way, I'd be able to make an unblock request one year into the future. (Or, if I were a WP admin, block an IP range before someone even thought of using that range to evade a block, and maybe that would negate any reason that a longer block was later given. Assuming, of course, that there wouldn't be a grandfather paradox.)
 * And just for clarification, I presume this recent attempt doesn't work either? Trust me, I was being completely sincere when I wrote it, or I wouldn't have written it. Shāntián Tàiláng (talk) 14:07, 2 May 2022 (UTC)
