Hi Johanna-Hypatia. I'm an editor (not very active till now) of the Italian Wikipedia, where the gender gap is a real issue. I'm trying to participate to an IEG with the project "Women are everywhere". You will find the draft at this link https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:IEG/Women_are_everywhere It would be great if you could have a look at it. I need any kind of suggestion or advice to improve it. Support or endorsement would be fantastic. Many thanks, --Kenzia (talk) 09:45, 8 April 2016 (UTC)Reply

Thank you, Kenzia! Good to hear from you. I've dabbled in Italian Wikipedia a little too. I love your project. — Johanna-Hypatia (talk) 10:06, 8 April 2016 (UTC)Reply

Thank you Johanna-Hypatia for your great support! Hypatia, what a wonderful name! Grazie,--Kenzia (talk) 10:12, 8 April 2016 (UTC)Reply

Salve Johanna-Hypatia, scusa se ti scrivo in italiano, ma per me è molto più facile, e credo per te non ci siano problemi con la lingua. Ti aggiorno sugli sviluppi del progetto sulle donne, a cui così gentilmente hai dato il tuo preziosissimo supporto. Il progetto aveva passato una prima selezione ed era entrato nella short-list degli IEG. Nel corso dell'intervista, che mi è stata richiesta, ho però capito che c'erano dei problemi, formulati come mancanza mia di esperienza come editor, mancanza di chiarimenti sulla metodologia e altro. Se ti interessa, troverai tutto pubblicato sulla pagina di discussione del progetto. Dal mio punto di vista, credo che il problema di fondo sia una differenza culturale: molti non hanno capito il senso di questo progetto, il valore, soprattutto nel contesto italiano, del contributo dell'Università; in Italia, il problema del gender gap è molto più profondo e pervasivo di quanto non sia nella cultura anglosassone. Non parliamo poi del problema del gender gap in Wikipedia, di cui pochissimi hanno consapevolezza, e su cui manca un qualsiasi studio serio. Il mio intento preliminare era proprio di contribuire alla presa di coscienza di questa problematica, facendo un'analisi seria, scientifica, in questo senso. Non si può risolvere un problema se prima non si è coscienti di avere un problema. Questo discorso vale per l'Italia, ma vale sicuramente anche per molti altri Paesi ancora più arretrati nella parità di genere. Parallelamente avevo incaricato alcuni volontari, esperti del settore, di fare una raccolta di dati il più ampia e incrociata possibile, per avere un quadro chiaro della situazione attuale, e per capire come la leva dei dati possa essere usata per creare dei modelli validi in altre realtà, non solo quella anglosassone, che è la più strutturata, ma anche in contesti ancora meno favorevoli per la rappresentazione femminile rispetto all'Italia. Inoltre, sarebbe stato condotto a livello universitario un lavoro di fondo di ricerca storica su figure femminili siciliane assenti da Wikipedia, su cui scrivere delle voci, o da inserire in voci maschili o generali da cui sono attualmente assenti. A questo sarebbe servito il workshop. In questa fase preliminare ne avevamo già individuate almeno duecento. Nonostante abbia cercato di spiegare in ogni modo il tipo di lavoro che pensavo di portare avanti, rispondendo alle domande che mi venivano poste, ho trovato di fronte dei muri. Mi si è continuata a contestare la mia mancanza di esperienza come wikipediana, la mancanza di metodologia e di un progetto chiaro. Mi sono resa conto che sarebbe stato inutile insistere. Ho ritirato la proposta di grant. Non so se questo ritiro sarà definitivo. Sicuramente l'Università non potrà più essere coinvolta. Se il valore di questo contributo, pur spiegato in lungo e in largo, non viene capito, significa che i parametri culturali di riferimento sono troppo diversi. Farò il punto con gli altri editor di itWikipedia interessati a questo progetto, per capire come e se procedere. Ti ringrazio ancora tantissimo per la tua disponibilità. Se ti fa piacere, ti terrò aggiornata. Un caro saluto, --Kenzia (talk) 11:36, 3 June 2016 (UTC)Reply

Cara Kenzia, molte grazie per questo aggiornamento, e voglio aiutarvi in qualsiasi modo che possa, così tienimi aggiornata. Rimango sempre disponibile per questo proggetto. Sto molto felice che mi contatteresti, e spero che mi scriverai sempre in italiano! :) A presto... Johanna-Hypatia (talk) 12:05, 3 June 2016 (UTC)Reply

Cara Johanna-Hypatia, da varie parti, anche fuori Wikipedia, ho ricevuto incoraggiamenti a non rendere definitivo il ritiro della proposta di progetto "Women are everywhere". Ho messo da parte le mie reticenze, dovute soprattutto al fatto che uno dei principali problemi emersi prima nei commenti, poi nelle review, sembrava fosse la mia inadeguatezza a portare avanti questa idea. Accetto tuttavia le critiche e ridimensiono il mio ruolo, cercando di rendere questo progetto il più corale possibile. Ci saranno ovviamente dei cambiamenti anche nei contenuti e nella metodologia. Ti chiedo di aiutarmi in questo intento. Nel corso dei numerosi scambi avuti nella fase preliminare, ho capito che uno dei principali problemi è la barriera linguistica e culturale. In questo ambito il tuo contributo sarebbe fondamentale. Se ti è possibile, sarebbe fantastico se tu potessi fare un passo in avanti e diventare cograntee. Spero ci saranno altre persone che si aggiungeranno a noi, ognuna per dare un contributo nel settore in cui si sente più ferrata. Grazie, --Kenzia (talk) 09:14, 14 July 2016 (UTC)Reply

Cara Kenzia, che cose dovrei fare come cograntee? Forse posso aiutarti sormontare quella barriera linguistica e culturale, traducendo dall'italiano in inglese e viceversa. Non ho mai fatto richiesta di sovvenzione e non so che cosa fare dopo. Avrò bisogno del tuo addestramento. Johanna-Hypatia (talk) 22:29, 14 July 2016 (UTC)Reply

Cara Johanna-Hypatia, sono certa che condividi lo spirito culturale e la necessità di questo progetto, il tuo contributo nelle traduzioni dall'italiano in inglese sarebbe molto importante, ci aiuterebbe sicuramente a gestire meglio la barriera linguistica e culturale. Per quanto riguarda la parte burocratica, non ti preoccupare, impareremo insieme. Con noi dovrebbero esserci altri cograntee, di cui almeno uno ha già ricevuto sovvenzioni ed è più esperto di noi in questo ambito. In ogni caso, procederemo insieme passo dopo passo, e ci aiuteremo a capire i vari passaggi. Durante il fine settimana, inizierò a rivedere il contenuto della proposta di grant. Ti scriverò appena ci sono novità sostanziali, per avere anche il tuo parere. Ti manderò un'email. A presto :) --Kenzia (talk) 00:09, 15 July 2016 (UTC)Reply

Hi there! As you may know, this November is Asian Women Month, hosted by Wikipedia Asian Month and WikiWomen In Red. Our goal is to encourage coverage of Asian women in order to help overcome the Asian content gender gap. Asian Women Month observes the rules of Wikipedia Asian Month. You will receive a special Asian Women Month barnstar if you create four articles in accordance with the rules for the event, as well as a postcard sent from an Asian community!

Hi. The Wikipedia:WikiProject Europe/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like Germany, Italy, the Benelux countries, Iberian Peninsula, Romania, Slovenia etc, much like Wikipedia:The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. If you would like to see masses of articles being improved for Europe and your specialist country like Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon, sign up today and once the challenge starts a contest can be organized. This is a way we can target every country of Europe, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant and also sign under any country sub challenge on the page that you might contribute to! Thank you. --Ser Amantio di Nicolao^{Che dicono a Signa?}_{Lo dicono a Signa.} 09:14, 6 November 2016 (UTC)Reply

Hi, Johanna-Hypathia! Thank you again for supporting the Sustainability Initiative, which aims at reducing the environmental impact of the Wikimedia movement. Over the past two years, more than 200 Wikipedians from all over the world have come together to push the Wikimedia movement towards greater sustainability.

What's new?

We are writing you this message because there is great news: The Board of Trustees of the Wikimedia Foundation has finally passed a resolution stating that the Foundation is committed to seeking ways to reduce the impact of its activities on the environment. Also, we have created a cool logo and found a nice name for the project which you can see on the right :-)

What's next?

Currently, we are working with Wikimedia Foundation staff to make sustainability a key priority for the selection of a new location for Wikimedia servers in Singapore. Also, we have presented the Wikimedia Foundation with a green energy roadmap to have all Wikimedia servers run on renewable energy by 2019.

Please help!

Let's keep this project moving forward – and there are several ways in which you can help:

• Ask other Wikipedians to sign the project page as well – this way we can show the Wikimedia Foundation that this is an issue that the community really cares about.
• Talk to Wikimedians you know about the importance of reducing the environmental impact of the Wikimedia movement.
• Improve and translate the project page on Meta.

If you have any questions, you can contact us on on Meta. Again, thank you very much for your support! --Aubrey and Gnom (talk) 22:20, 4 April 2017 (UTC)Reply

Hello,

Would you be able to help evaluate the accuracy of translations of Wikipedia articles from Arabic to English Wikipedia?

This would involve evaluating a translated article on English Wikipedia by comparing it to the original Arabic article, and marking it "Pass" or "Fail" based on whether the translation faithfully represents the original. Here's the reason for this request:

There are a number of articles on English Wikipedia that were created as machine translations from different languages including Arabic , using the Content Translation tool, sometimes by users with no knowledge of the source language. The config problem that allowed this to happen has since been fixed, but this has left us with a backlog of articles whose accuracy of translation is suspect or unknown, including some articles translated from Arabic. In many cases, other editors have come forward later to copyedit and fix any English grammar or style issues, but that doesn't necessarily mean that the translation is accurate, as factual errors from the original translation may remain. To put it another way: Good English is not the same as good translation.

If you can help out, that would be great. Here's a sample of the articles that need checking:

• Al-Mekrab
• College Al-hussein Mosque
• Salman Natour

All you have to do, is compare the English article to the Arabic article, and mark it "Pass" or "Fail" (templates {{Pass}} and {{Fail}} may be useful). (Naturally, if you feel like fixing an inaccurate translation and then marking it "Pass", that's even better, but it isn't required.)

If you can help, please let me know. Thanks! Mathglot (talk) 09:37, 30 May 2017 (UTC)Reply

Please AGF - calling me a vandal in a edit summary is not nice. I reverted this since the content (despite the nicer infobox) was part of a wide-ranging hoax to promote the notion of an independent Ashanti Empire. This was done over a few years by Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Flusus/Archive, and in this instance by the blocked User talk:Boqino. These contributions were quite elaborate and wide ranging (if you want - take a look down memory lane at Boqino contributions. In this specific case - this is beyond the infobox - every single mention of Ghana and the Akan people is replaced with the Ashanti. What you are reverting to is highly misleading and is a hoax. If you want to fix this up formatting wise - fine - but don't revert to a version that expunges all mention of Ghana (and Togo and Ivory Coast).Icewhiz (talk) 08:13, 20 December 2017 (UTC)Reply

Correction - this is the original - Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/MarkMysoe/Archive, Flusus was closed as stale.Icewhiz (talk) 08:18, 20 December 2017 (UTC)Reply

I know nothing of this controversy and have no wish to step into the passions flaring around it. All I know is there was no need to delete the whole infobox. As a linguist I entered a fine-tuned IPA pronunciation and would like it kept, please. I was born on a Monday so if I were Akan I'd be an Adwoa, and it's a beautiful name I'm very fond of. (My grandson is Akan.) That's all I'm concerned with here. In general, a large deletion of information with no rational purpose is looked upon as vandalism, yes. Johanna-Hypatia (talk) 08:21, 20 December 2017 (UTC)Reply

If you call me a vandal again - I will escalate this. If you want an infobox - place an infobox with properly sourced information. Reverting so you have an infobox - while the text contains a hoax - is an no-go. Some of Boqino's actions were an improvement (in this case an infobox and a list (maybe not appropriate) to people with this first name) - however they came with blanket replacement of any wider Akan / Ghana / regional context to sole use by the Ashanti. e.g. in this lead from:

Adwoa is a given name used for women born on Monday in Western Africa, particularly Ghana and some parts of Togo and Ivory Coast. http://www.20000-names.com/weekday_names.htm This is a cultural practice of the Akan people of Ghana and the Ivory Coast. It is mostly practiced by Ashanti people. Most Ghanaian children have their cultural names in combination with their English or Christian names. The name Adwoa is pronounced as Adj-wa. It can be spelled in various ways, including Adwoa, Ajua, Adjoa, etc. The spelling of the name usually indicates where in Ghana the person is from and with which clan they are associated. Its male equivalent is Kwadwo, which also has variations depending on whether the parents are Ashanti, Fante, Ewe, or Ga.

to:

Adwoa or Ajua or Adjoa is an Ashanti feminine given name originating from the Ashanti people and their Ashanti day naming system, meaning born on a Monday.

which is quite a dramatic change in content - you will note that the elaboration on variant spelling indicating non-Ashanti origin was expunged, leaving Ashanti as the sole source/use of this name.Icewhiz (talk) 08:36, 20 December 2017 (UTC)Reply

Well, yeah. My grandson is of Fante and Nzema origins, notable non-Ashanti Akan peoples, and I definitely think the Akans as a whole need to be acknowledged, not just the most prominent group. I'm in complete agreement with you on that. I was taken aback by your vehemence, though. I don't understand why you don't just edit the parts of the article that you think are wrong, instead of this indiscriminate destructiveness. I just want the IPA pronunciation included. Keep that and I'm satisfied. Not interested in getting caught up in your jihad. Johanna-Hypatia (talk) 14:40, 20 December 2017 (UTC)Reply

I actually do not edit Ghana topics all that much. I did however get involved on this particular hoax - and went over hundreds of articles in which an independent modern-day Ashanti empire was asserted (including creating/modifying stubs of small settlements, adding infoboxes and template bars and various other information all creating the impression this was part of a modern day Ashantiland, or a Kumasi city state, or Kumasi metropolis", or "Kumasi metropolis megacity). I got into dealing with this in a rather random fashion (a number of hoax articles were brought to AfD which I do quite a bit - I believe it was an alleged military drone manufacturer in Ashantiland (it was in fact a small drone photography company) - which I then followed through an Ashantiland bank and supermarket (which were actual Ghana companies - presented as Ashantiland), a fake gold coin (the Ashanti Sika), and then literally hundreds of Ghana related articles that were hijacked to an independent Ashantiland as well as a few inventions). I did quite a bit of reverting of these - for the most part if I could verify it was a hoax (due to the change by particular editors coupled with asserting Ashantiland independence (which I verified was a hoax)) - I reverted the modifications, and did not do much else. In cases where other editors were involved - I tagged / discussed this. In any event - that was a few months ago. Your infobox addition is a great addition to that article.Icewhiz (talk) 15:41, 20 December 2017 (UTC)Reply

Ciao!

Sono un utente di Wiki-It. Ti sto scrivendo in italiano in quanto ho visto che possiedi un'ampia conoscenza di questa lingua. Ad ogni modo, sto chiedendo ad alcuni utenti ancora attivi in grado di tradurre da italiano ad inglese, se sarebbero disponibili a effettuare una corposa traduzione. Fra questi ho scelto di contattare anche te poiché ho notato che possiedi ampie conoscenze della lingua italiana e inoltre sei ancora attiva su questa piattaforma. La voce da tradurre dall'italiano all'inglese è quella della cantante australiana Sia. Su Wiki-it la voce misura oltre 108,000 bytes, contro i soli 85,000 che misura la voce in inglese. Vi sarebbero quindi all'incirca 25,000 bytes da tradurre, senza la necessità di aggiungere nuove fonti (dato che quelle citate su Wiki-It sono in lingua inglese). Saresti quindi disponibile ad effettuare questa traduzione?

Ti ringrazio con anticipo per la risposta e ti auguro una buona giornata, saluti!

I have removed the new vocal range section that you proposed. The only WP:Reliable source that you cited was the Billboard article, but it did not support any of the text that you added. If you want to refer to "critics" you need to refer to real, reputable, music critics from major music sources. Vocal range is a relatively trivial factoid with respect to most pop singers, and it is notoriously squirrely. If you want to add such information, you will need high quality sources that explain its significance. -- Ssilvers (talk) 05:38, 13 April 2018 (UTC)Reply

Okay, this is becoming quite ridiculous... Helle Busacca is this person's "Italian" name, the IPA it's transcribed in is the "Italian" IPA, and it doesn't matter how this name is locally pronounced, otherwise every single Italian name out of Florence or Tuscany should be transcribed in its local pronunciation instead than in standard Italian. If we follow your way, then the name (for example) "Elena" would be transcribed as [ˈɛːlena] when the person was born in Southern Italy and as [ˈeːlena] when she was born in Northern Italy. Do you understand it's senseless? The name is just "Italian" and the standard pronunciation is just one, professional actors and dubbers don't pronunce Italian names in different ways depending on the subject's origins. And that's not all: a "Help:IPA/Sicilian" page doesn't even exist, and your pronunciation with /s/ isn't sourced either. So, have you understood that my edit was actually correct? I'm not going to edit the page again until we agree, but if you ask any other users in en.wikipedia who're expert enough in Italian phonetic issues they'll tell you I'm right. Let me know! Regards :-) Tenunz (talk) 15:24, 11 June 2018 (UTC)Reply

I did source the pronunciation with /s/; the link is to a video of people in her town of birth speaking her name. Whatever. Johanna-Hypatia (talk) 20:37, 11 June 2018 (UTC)Reply

Okay, I've reported your POV to a veteran user who's more expert than you about phonetic issues, he'll tell us his opinion (which wouldn't be an opinion but the truth of the matter). Anyway... Haven't you even read what I've written? The part about the absurdity of using a local pronunciation instead of the only and one standard pronunciation used officially? The example with "Elena"? I don't think so, not at all, or you wouldn't be claiming that "the people in her town of birth speaking her name are a more reliable source that the correct orthoepy". I'm surprised and disappointed to see that such a veteran and expert user like you could make such a big, and easy to understand, mistake and overall insist on making it. I'm really astonished... Tenunz (talk) 21:30, 11 June 2018 (UTC)Reply

Fine, I said whatever. I will leave my provincial Messinese background out of this. Just FYI "casa"_and_"cosa" Italian pronunciation of "casa" and "cosa" for why I bring the point of view that I do to this. It was a discussion I was invited to because I'd made valued contributions to the subject of Italian regionalisms. Just so we're clear I was not intending Sicilian language phonology, but standard Italian, regional. Guess I'm just old school. Now chill, please, I'm not getting into a fight with you. Go ahead and do whatever you can justify, just dial back the combativeness. Johanna-Hypatia (talk) 21:45, 11 June 2018 (UTC)Reply

The "casa and cosa" issue is different: in standard Italian they're (traditionally) pronounced with /s/, so it isn't incorrect transcribing them in that way. Busacca, instead, is pronounced with /z/ in standard Italian, and with /s/ in Sicilian, so it's actually incorrect transcribing it with /s/ if we're referring to standard Italian pronunciation. Anyway, thank you for understanding, and sorry for warming up! Then I'm going to restore the pronunciation with /z/ :-) Tenunz (talk) 21:55, 11 June 2018 (UTC)Reply

Since Tenunz has provided an apparently authoritative source here with a transcription showing a /z/ pronunciation and we want to provide more general Italian pronunciations, rather than localized ones, it seems to me like we should change it back to [z]. If it's important enough to have a local pronunciation, that can be included, too. If it's a Sicilian pronunciation, rather than a Standard Italian one, it would probably be best to use {{IPA-scn}}. — Ƶ§œš¹ _{[lɛts b̥iː pʰəˈlaɪˀt]} 22:21, 11 June 2018 (UTC)Reply

Hello,

I am E. Whittaker, an intern at Wikimedia with the Scoring Team to create a labeled dataset, and potentially a tool, to help editors deal with incivility when they encounter it on talk pages. A full write-up of the study can be found here: m:Research:Civil_Behavior_Interviews. We are currently recruiting editors to be interviewed about their experiences with incivility on talk pages. Would you be interested in being interviewed? I am contacting you because of your involvement in Wikipedia’s Women in Red project. The interviews should take ~1 hour, and will be conducted over BlueJeans (which does allow interviews to be recorded). If, so, please email me at ewhit@umich.edu in order to schedule an interview.

Stop reverting my edits. I added fictional characters as they were listed in the END CREDITS of the film; just because they're not in the article doesn't mean they're not in the film. Also, one of the edits you reverted was my fixing of someone's typo. Not all edits should be reverted (none of mine should). Gatomon 15 (talk) 16:21, 29 October 2018 (UTC)Reply

(talk page stalker)In order to be in an article the entry needs to be notable - see WP:RELIABLE and to an extent WP:NOTABLE. There were links on your talk page explaining this, but you chose to delete them here which is tantamount to accepting and understanding them. A similar welcome with help has been left here by another editor. To avoid being blocked and making elementary errors such as the one above, ("Not all edits should be reverted (none of mine should)",) please read them.

Hi! Even if I had no time for this I started months ago a translation in my sandbox of an article about a female painter. The Italian version was cancelled (unexplicabily, IMHO). User:kenzia also worked on it if I remember (at least, she left a comment in the deletion procedure ), that's why I though of asking your advice.

Basically, I saved all the text and step by step I have almost completed the translation. Of course, the language is not good because I never really read it as a whole, I can do better. i should read similar article for some jargon, probably. In any case, I am quite sure that I will finish it soon so it would be useful if you can take a look. it's not really about the language, I can revise it later, i basically need a general opinion to be sure it's not deleted here again.

My focus is more related to scientists and science here, I's like to be sure this poor biography has better chances. Being deleted second time is not an optimal result, i think we can agree. Thank you!--Alexmar983 (talk) 19:20, 21 December 2018 (UTC)Reply

Just to be clear: I am not an autopatrolled so I would move to ns0 only with a structured second opinion. Otherwise this biogrpahy will just remain in my sandbox whilst I am drafting and saving new articles, and waiting for some new sources about her. --Alexmar983 (talk) 19:30, 21 December 2018 (UTC)Reply

OK, I think we can work that up into a decent article that will stick. I've translated and published 19 articles from Italian, never submitted any for approval, and never had their existence challenged. The reasons they gave for deleting the Italian article don't hold up, in my opinion, and Kenzia did make it plain to them that the article had a valid basis for existence. The battle is over notability and reliability of sources. So many articles on men have persisted with flimsier justifications. Could the Italian men be applying stricter criteria to a woman's article? You think? Johanna-Hypatia (talk) 02:36, 22 December 2018 (UTC)Reply

I don't thik it's a gender issue here. Itwikipedia is just rigid in general. Also when they start to feel something is created specifically certain people there usually overanalyze the situation. So this article was created for an edi-a-thon in the region of Campania about local women artists and they were all challenged at the time. But it could have been related to any other general field. It's social dynamics here more than theme, in my experience. Of course gender gap is a common theme nowadays and women articles are more recently created, but I don't think that's the problem. It's easier to find sources about men that itwiki would approve. When you have just one book is easy to look for any possible conflict of interest or challenge the relevance of the author. In any case I don't care too much at the moment about how things work (or don't work) on itwiki, I just hope to save the work and give Olga Napoli the article she IMHO deserves.

Since we are here another article I put directly here is Elisa Montessori. Can you revise it and evaluate it in the talk page when you have time? Thanks.--Alexmar983 (talk) 03:10, 22 December 2018 (UTC)Reply

I have started to revise the text as a whole. Draft:Olga Napoli is ready for refinements, I am going to read it carefully over the next days but whenever you want, you can move it to main namespace. I am sure you can fix it much faster than I would! Thank you.--Alexmar983 (talk) 00:08, 27 December 2018 (UTC)Reply

Hi,

I was looking for some small help.Recently I created a new article en:Kithaab i.e. es:Kithaab-a play about women rights issues- which has been copy edited and is ready for translation in various languages. Looking for your possible help in translating the article en:Kithaab es:Kithaab to your language. If you are unable to spare time yourself then may be you like to refer the same to some other translator to get it translated in their own respective languages.

Thanking you , with warm regards

I got your thanks for the image on Chantal Montellier, which inspired me to add two more to Alessandra Belloni and Beatrice Monroy. Hope you like them. If you do, could I ask for a favor? They're from Italian videos, my Italian is weak to non-existent, and relying on Google translate is less than ideal. Am I right that yours is better? Would you be able to go to the images, or if you really have time, to the videos, and check that I captioned them correctly, and if not, to improve the captions? --GRuban (talk) 01:55, 8 April 2019 (UTC)Reply

Hey, I saw that you are good with Uyghur, and I wanted to see if you knew someone who would be willing to check some of my work on a county in Xinjiang (Minfeng/Niya County). I can speak Mandarin Chinese, but I can't read Arabic script languages. I added the Uyghur names for the towns and townships of the area (mainly copy-pasted from Uyghur Wikipedia and also with confirmation for some Uyghur language names from GEOnet Names Server). In particular, the name for the town Rokiya (Ruokeya, Rukiya) had two different Uyghur names in these databases ([3]). Thanks for any help or guidance you can give me.

Fücsök Ákos

Dear Johanna-Hypatia!

I found you through edit history of a Wiki page. To be specific trough this one: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gabor_Fabricius First of all, i'm not here for argue. :) I'm here for help.

So the page you edited is about my boss. (Yeah, i know, it's a close connection.) He is a director here in hungary, directed many films, write books, made an advertising agency, won prizes, ect. the point is the things i want to show on the pages all can be proven. I'm simply not use to work with Wiki articles. So, my question is that can you help me to make it work?

I imagine our "workflow" like this: 1. I show you here in this conversation, the whole article i want to publish 2. You help me that which link is valid, which is not. 3. Then i try to find valid ones. 4. Then if its needed i make other modifications through your guidance. 5. Then i can finalise it.

Could this works? Fücsök Ákos (talk) 08:31, 29 September 2020 (UTC)Reply

I'm not the best person to ask. I have no knowledge of the subject at all and I only visited the page to correct a typographical error. I have adopted several typographical errors and routinely search them out and correct them. If not for that, I would have never heard of Fabricius. You need more help than I'm able to give you. Johanna-Hypatia (talk) 08:35, 29 September 2020 (UTC)Reply

Since you're new to Wikipedia, to get help with editing, go to the Teahouse, where there are lots of friendly helpers to be found, and ask. Johanna-Hypatia (talk) 08:48, 29 September 2020 (UTC)Reply

Hello. I am contacting you because of a discussion about etymology on another website, Final Fantasy Fandom. That wiki gives a definition of etymology followed by a link to Wikipedia etymology page (their page here), and then features 2700 etymologies (list here), almost all of them being similar to these three:

• Etymology of absolute zero: Absolute zero is the coldest possible temperature. More formally, it is the temperature at which entropy reaches its minimum value.
• Etymology of fire: Fire is the rapid oxidation of a material in the exothermic chemical process of combustion, releasing heat, light, and various reaction products.
• Etymology of Shiva: Shiva (also spelled Śiva) is a Hindu god. The Hindu Shiva once saved the world by consuming poison, giving him blue skin around the area of the neck and throat. [etc. etc.]

Are these three examples etymologies, or not? Since you are an active member of Wikipedia Linguistics Project and Wikipedia Etymology Task Force, your opinion could solve the discussion (if you prefer to avoid any involvement, just write it, I will understand). Thank you in advance for your time and attention. --Abacos (talk) 11:02, 25 May 2022 (UTC)Reply

There's no etymology in what you quoted. None at all. Those are definitions, denotations. Johanna-Hypatia (talk) 17:05, 25 May 2022 (UTC)Reply

Thank you for your kind answer. For your information, I agree with you, while Final Fantasy Fandom states that etymology means "detailing the origins of terminology used in the series in regards to real world culture and history". --Abacos (talk) 12:22, 26 May 2022 (UTC)Reply

Abacos, "origin of terminology" is correct, but whoever added those definitions under the etymology heading doesn't understand the meaning of origin, which has to delve into history, to reveal the earliest forms.

• Etymology of absolute zero would mention that the term was first used in the early 19th century.
• Etymology of fire needs to trace it through Middle English to Old English fyr, back to Proto-Germanic fuïr, all the way back to Proto-Indo-European *péh₂wr̥. Anything other than that is not etymology.
• Etymology of Shiva has to give, at a minimum, the original Sanskrit form, शिव Śiva, and its meaning 'auspicious'.

I hope this illustrates clearly for them the difference between telling what something means and where it comes from. Johanna-Hypatia (talk) 15:42, 26 May 2022 (UTC)Reply

Thank you for your explanation, but I already tried (in this forum), and they blocked the discussion because they were very unhappy with me. They wrote clearly that they are not interested in actual etymology at all. What they want are real-world references, but they decided "etymology" is the appropriate word for it. Thus, Final Fantasy Fandom features almost 2700 "etymology" pages containing no etymology. --Abacos (talk) 22:48, 26 May 2022 (UTC)Reply

Well, as the saying goes, more fool them. والسلام Johanna-Hypatia (talk) 00:08, 27 May 2022 (UTC)Reply
