A few notes
Hello, thanks for your contributions. If you plan to continue editing, please bear in mind:


 * Wrap IPA notations within IPA, as in . This puts the content in   CSS class, which suppresses link underlines and allow registered users to specify a custom font (see the template documentation for how).
 * Do not directly copy more than a few words from a source. What you did here constitutes copyright violation, which is one of the biggest no-nos as it is illegal. Citing the source is not enough; always paraphrase, and if, and only if, it is essential to use the exact words, put it in quotation marks. (This is also verging on that—although it's not serious by itself, when combined with the other edit, it makes the article as a whole ever closer to something illegal.)
 * If the source you're citing is already cited elsewhere in the article, reuse it, following the convention of the article (which can vary). In your edit regarding to Japanese phonology,   should have been   instead (that is, of course, if it didn't violate copyright).
 * The primary stress mark is ⟨ˈ⟩, not the apostrophe/single quotation mark ⟨'⟩.
 * "🡒", the "sans-serif arrow" from the Supplemental Arrows-C block, doesn't show properly on many if not most devices. Use "→" in Arrows—or none at all: "" is usually enough to indicate the second part is a phonetic realization of the first, phonemic part.
 * Avoid WP:EDITORIALIZING like using the word "Coincidentally" and aim for an impartial tone.
 * Watch out for misspellings in general.

But also note that any mistake can be easily fixed or undone. I hope you find this helpful. Nardog (talk) 16:19, 16 March 2020 (UTC)

Re: your edits to Junichiro Koizumi and Sukiyaki (song) – Pages like Help:IPA/Japanese exist to help readers figure out what each symbol means (and editors figure out what to use). So whenever using a template that links to such a key (which of course is recommended over using a template that doesn't like IPA, except in very articles about the sound system of a language like Japanese phonology), follow the conventions of that key. See Manual of Style/Pronunciation for a detailed explanation about this. Thank you. Nardog (talk) 13:37, 29 March 2020 (UTC)

Thanks
Thank you, Nardog. I've come to realize now that the wiki-projects in English (i.e. Wikipedia and Wiktionary,) have a much higher quality standard compared to the wiki-projects in my native language (Spanish). I can't say I'm having it easy, but at least I'm doing my best. It feels a little overwhelming... so many templates and standarized stuff that I have to learn and dare I say, memorize.

Spanish sample
Hi, thanks for adding the North Wind and the Sun sample. As I said in the summary, I think the phrase "a young man" should be replaced by "a man born in the [decade]" or something along those lines to avoid relative time references. Thanks.

PS. Please do not include slashes in an IPA-xx template. The templates already provide the appropriate brackets and all of our non-English IPA keys use broad phonetic transcriptions (yes, a phonetic transcription can be broader or narrower than another—while a phonemic transcription is by definition broad—as narrowness is a continuum; see Phonetic transcription or Handbook of the International Phonetic Association, pp. 28–30 for more).
