Question about source for /ðɪə/ and /wɪə/ in Brummie?
I’ve seen that back in May you added the sentence “*In Brummie, some SQUARE words shift to the set of NEAR such as there and where, thus pronounced as /ðɪə/ and /wɪə/ insted of /ðɛə/ and /wɛə/ respectively” to the Brummie dialect article. I wonder if you could please tell me what your exact source is for this, as I cannot personally find any verifiable evidence that such pronunciations are still current in Birmingham. Though, historically, such are likely to have been formerly used, and a cousin of mine, who was born and raised in Alum Rock, and who is now in his seventies, does occasionally use /ðɪə/ and /wɪə/, at least emphatically, but generally he says /ðɛː/ and /wɛː/. Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 193.61.220.3 (talk) 10:48, 13 October 2022 (UTC)

Notice of edit warring noticeboard discussion
Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there is currently a discussion involving you at Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring regarding a possible violation of Wikipedia's policy on edit warring. Thank you. Wolfdog (talk) 04:24, 20 February 2023 (UTC)

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war. This means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be although other editors disagree. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus, rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Points to note: If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes and work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 06:42, 20 February 2023 (UTC)
 * 1) Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made;
 * 2) Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war&#32; according to the reverts you have made on French phonology. This means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be although other editors disagree.
