West Low German
I changed the interwikis on West Low German, they directed to Low German instead of West Low German (which is something else), these interwikis are already listed on the article Low German so there is no need to list them here as well. Servien 13:04, 13 January 2007 (UTC)
 * I link West Low Saxon to Westneddersassisch.

Mecklenburgisch-Pommersch?
Hi Sarcelles. I know the German version of Wikipedia has an article about Mecklenburgisch-Pommersch however, there is no Mecklenburgisch-Pommersch. I also wrote to other contributors of this article because this definition is far to generell. You can't mix up "Westfälisch" and "Ostfälisch", can you? The dialect which is described in this article is called Mecklenburgisch-Vorpommersch. The other Pommeranian dialects really have few in common with this dialect. I also realized that you are working on the Low German version of Wikipedia. Why don't we take the article "Mekelnborg-Vörpommersch Platt" as a basis for the English version? It's far better than the German one. Furthermore it must be said that "Wendländisch" doesn't actually belong to "Mecklenburgisch-Vorpommersch". You can read the discussion about that topic at. You would also get an idea, why the Pommeranian dialects don't belong to "Vorpommersch". --89.53.5.194 11:42, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
 * You are right, Wendländisch is something different.

I will change this. Sarcelles 19:22, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

Thanks. However, why should we call it Mecklenburgisch-Pommersch? I can't remember any book that uses this term. Most linguistic works dealing with Low German dialects prefer Mecklenburgisch-Vorpommersch. Have a look at www.diwa.info. The word maps of "Korn", "Ohren", and "Pferd" demonstrate the difference between Mecklenburgisch-Vorpommersch and the neighbouring dialects. The Pommerian dialects use Korn, Ohren, and Perd (Peird) while the speakers of Mecklenburgisch-Vorpommersch say Kurn, Urn and Pierd. There are other differences, too but these examples demonstrate one trait that only this dialect has in comparision to all the other Low German dialects. --89.53.40.163 11:59, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Rhinelandic
A tag has been placed on Rhinelandic, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done for the following reason:

not factual, substandard, untruths

Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not meet very basic Wikipedia criteria may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as an appropriate article, and if you can indicate why the subject of this article is appropriate, you may contest the tagging. To do this, add  on the top of the page and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm its subject's notability under the guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this.

Hello Sarcelles, I have placed the delete tag on your Rhinelandic page. As a historical linguist and Germanic philologist, I cannot agree with some of the things on that page. Also, I find the article seriously substandard in organisation. If you can fix these things soon, that would be great. You should definitely organise the material and cut a lot of the examples. Also, your comments about the Rhinelandic pitch accents are incorrect. I am not familiar with their actual use in some Rhinelandic dialects, but phonologically they are determined by the vowel quality of the main stressed syllable (or stem) of the word and have nothing to do with rhythm (although there is a correlation with the number of syllables).

You may contest the proposed deletion by removing the  notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Magdalen Islands
Are/were you researching the Magdalen Islands (The Maggies)? I'be interested to see some of your research on the islands or if you have any information on Grosse Ile. To answer a question you had a long time ago, English Magdalen Islanders do not have a scottish accents though there are people with Irish and Scottish ancestory. Bianca Clarke 17:42, 22 June 2007 (UTC)
 * I have found a word suggesting a connection between Scots language/dialect and Madeleine Islands in a written religious Encyclopedia.

But I have to regret I hardly know anything on the Islands. Kind regards, Sarcelles 18:17, 22 June 2007 (UTC)

Darfur diaspora
Hi,

Back in 2005 you created the Fur diaspora article. But nothing much has happened to that one-paragraph article since then. An editor suggested in late 2006 that it might best be merged with Fur people, but no one commented on the idea. Therefore I decided to be bold and simply merge the diaspora article into the Fur people article, but only because I didn't think anyone would object. I found that only one short sentence in the paragraph was not already in "Fur people", but I also merged links to categories. If you object, we can reverse my actions and discuss the matter further. Please advise. Noroton 03:37, 4 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Hi Noroton,

The Fur Diapora is notable enough to have its own article. However, I don't have enough time to write an article with a respectable size at the moment. I hope, I will have time soon. Kind regards Sarcelles 14:10, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

History of Christianity in China
See discussion on Talk:History of Christianity in China. Since you were working on this - is there a lot more that you can add that does not appear already in the Christianity in China article? It seems like that article is mostly history, already.Brian0324 18:46, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Yazeed
A tag has been placed on Yazeed, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to have no meaningful content or history, and the text is unsalvageably incoherent. If the page you created was a test, please use the sandbox for any other experiments you would like to do. Feel free to leave a message on my talk page if you have any questions about this.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the article (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.
