Pending changes/Straw poll on interim usage
Hi. As you recently commented in the straw poll regarding the ongoing usage and trial of Pending changes, this is to notify you that there is an interim straw poll with regard to keeping the tool switched on or switching it off while improvements are worked on and due for release on November 9, 2010. This new poll is only in regard to this issue and sets no precedent for any future usage. Your input on this issue is greatly appreciated. Off2riorob (talk) 23:47, 20 September 2010 (UTC)

CSD Practice
This is an exercise to get Inka familiar with the different CSD's.-- in te la ti (Call) 01:36, 22 September 2010 (UTC)
 * I know. I admire your patience; so far, he's gotten every answer wrong, and these were not even difficult ones or trick-questions. This will take a lot of your time, y'know... Choyoołʼįįhí:Seb az86556 > haneʼ 01:38, 22 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Heck, It's a challenge. I love challenges so this is perfect.-- in te la ti (Call) 01:39, 22 September 2010 (UTC)

Naʼashǫ́ʼiitoʼí
Is "Naʼashǫ́ʼiitoʼí" Burnside, AZ? It seems like it is, so on the map I changed it to Burnside.

And the following do not have English names indicated on their articles. What are their English names? Thanks, WhisperToMe (talk) 22:36, 25 September 2010 (UTC)
 * nv:Tsétaakʼáán
 * nv:Tsétsį́į́ Nániitłʼiní
 * nv:Nááʼádįįh


 * We're still trying to figure out, via informants, what the name for Burnside is. The given Navajo name actually refers to a Spring in the hills close to it; however, it's so close to Burnside, it would be correct to give that link on English wikipedia.
 * Tsétaakʼáán and Tsétsį́į́ Nániitłʼiní are actually just the locations of Chapter houses, you won't find any specific town or community with an English name. Appropriate links would be Tse Daa K'aan Chapter house and San Juan Chapter house
 * Nááʼádįįh keeps its name spelled as Na Ah Tee, Arizona, currently a redlink. Choyoołʼįįhí:Seb az86556 > haneʼ 03:39, 26 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Thank you very much for the help! I'm almost done converting the names!
 * There are a last few missing ones:
 * nv:Chʼóolʼį́ʼí Gobernador Knob
 * nv:Adah Hosh Łání Meteor Crater
 * nv:Gad Deelzhah Mesa Verde
 * Also how should User:WhisperToMe/Navajomap be categorized? I need to replace the Navajo categories with English ones. Then I need to import the other templates and try to get the map system working so we can have the same kinds of maps on here that we have on NV.
 * WhisperToMe (talk) 06:14, 26 September 2010 (UTC)


 * There are no corresponding categories on English wikipedia.
 * I would advise you not to import the map-system, unless you would like to start a major discussion with the people of the local projects; these location-maps are totally unsuitable for English wikipedia. English wikipedia has its own locator-map system. FWIW, I will be one of those arguing against it. Choyoołʼįįhí:Seb az86556 > haneʼ 07:29, 26 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Alright, I'll see how I can use the file that's on my userpage (maybe use it as an informational map used once in the Navajo Nation article)
 * One last question - What is Tʼiisnééz Ííʼá ?
 * Thank you for your help,
 * WhisperToMe (talk) 21:09, 26 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Yes, I've been wondering where that template (which is a good addition) could be used; though it is scalable, it would become extremely small and crowded when smaller.
 * Tʼiisnééz Ííʼá... another very small place; according to USGS it's simple Tes Nez Iah, Arizona. Most of those really small villages (actually just a collection of houses) keep their names, though weirdly anglicized. I'm assuming if anyone ever tried to start an entry in English it'd get quickly nuked for lack of WP:N and WP:V. Choyoołʼįįhí:Seb az86556 > haneʼ 01:39, 27 September 2010 (UTC)
 * For really small villages, if they are not listed in the state encyclopedias (equivalent of the Handbook of Texas of Texas), then one could try using LexisNexis, Google News, etc. to try to find tidbits about the communities. The handbook lists a lot of small communities that are not incorporated and are not CDPs, and hopefully equivalents exist in New Mexico and Arizona... WhisperToMe (talk) 04:02, 27 September 2010 (UTC)
