French IPA

Hi, thank you for adding IPA transcriptions! Although I appreciate them, I thought I'd let you know that we use ⟨‿⟩ only for liaison, i.e. when a consonant arises only when prevocalic, not for mere enchaînement. I also found some instances of your transcriptions in which the Greek epsilon ⟨ε⟩ was used in place of the correct IPA letter, the Latin epsilon ⟨ɛ⟩. (Editors here also tend to prefer ⟨ɡ⟩ instead of the ASCII ⟨g⟩ and transcribe e muet as ⟨(ə)⟩ and orthographic è as ⟨ɛː⟩, but these are even more minor quibbles and you may see lots of transcriptions that contradict these conventions.) That said, I appreciate your contributions and I hope you'll stick around here. If you have any questions about the way we transcribe French in IPA, visit Help talk:IPA/French. Happy editing! Nardog (talk) 11:20, 22 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Nardog: Hi, I use ⟨‿⟩ for enchaînement because of its usage in French Wiktionary, just like this, this, this and so on. And, what should I use for enchaînement if I stop using ⟨‿⟩? In my memory, I did't use the Greek epsilon ⟨ε⟩. Can you please give me some examples? Finally thanks for your reminder. --Bigbullfrog1996 (talk) 10:11, 23 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Just use a space. See this, this, or this for examples. As for the Greek epsilon, you had it on Luzech, Leers, and Brennilis, but I've fixed them so you don't need to worry about it. Nardog (talk) 03:59, 24 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Nardog: Ok, I will use a space instead of ⟨‿⟩ for enchaînement. As for the examples of Greek epsilon ⟨ε⟩ , I found that I copied them from French articles, I will pay attention from now on. Finally thanks for your reply. --Bigbullfrog1996 (talk) 08:25, 25 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Lès moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Lès, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page. Mccapra (talk) 19:41, 1 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Lès (April 6)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Robert McClenon was:

Thank you for your submission, but the subject of this article already exists in Wikipedia. You can find it and improve it at Lès instead.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Two copies of this page have been created, in draft space and in article space. It is not necessary to create two copies of the same page, and it annoys the reviewers. This is sometimes done in order to bypass Articles for Creation review. However, if a submitter is ready to have the article in article space, it can be moved into article space, rather than creating a copy. It is common for a page that has been duplicated in draft space and in article space to be nominated for deletion or proposed for deletion. If the article is kept, this draft should be redirected to the article. If the article is deleted, this draft may be kept for future improvement.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit when they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Lès and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you now believe the draft cannot meet Wikipedia's standards or do not wish to progress it further, you may request deletion. Please go to Draft:Lès, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{Db-g7}}" at the top of the draft text and click the blue "publish changes" button to save this edit.
If you do not make any further changes to your draft, in 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
If you need any assistance, or have experienced any untoward behavior associated with this submission, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk, on the reviewer's talk page or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

Hello, Bigbullfrog1996! Having an article declined at Articles for Creation can be disappointing. If you are wondering why your article submission was declined, please post a question at the Articles for creation help desk. If you have any other questions about your editing experience, we'd love to help you at the Teahouse, a friendly space on Wikipedia where experienced editors lend a hand to help new editors like yourself! See you there! Robert McClenon (talk) 16:25, 6 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

IPA

Hello,

Please take note of my edit at Deutschlandsberg. I formatted the transcription in order to match Help:IPA/Standard German, which is one of the many language-specific reference pages for IPA transcriptions on the English Wikipedia. Make sure whenever you add one it is backed up by the help page it is linked to (if there is one, as is the case for {{IPA-de}}). And mind the stress mark too! ;)

Disambiguation link notification for June 3

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Chemillé-Melay, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Melay. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 09:01, 3 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

A tag has been placed on Category:Tributaries of the Sèvre Nantaise indicating that it is currently empty, and is not a disambiguation category, a category redirect, a featured topics category, under discussion at Categories for discussion, or a project category that by its nature may become empty on occasion. If it remains empty for seven days or more, it may be deleted under section C1 of the criteria for speedy deletion.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion".

French communes by department templates

Hi, I see you modified some of the Category:France commune (country subdivision) templates to show the prefecture and subprefectures separately. I think it looks better (takes up less space) if we list these along with the other communes, and maybe highlight them, or add a note. See {{Ain communes}} for instance. Do you mind if I change the other templates like this as well? Markussep ^Talk 10:16, 22 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I'm Mattythewhite. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, İlkay Gündoğan, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at referencing for beginners. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Mattythewhite (talk) 17:51, 27 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Hainaut (province) templates

Hello, Bigbullfrog1996,

Category redirects are not created like article redirects. Please look at the code/template on this page and use this as an example if you want to make category redirects in the future. If you just use the standard code like for article redirects, then the category appears on the Empty Categories list and will likely get tagged for deletion. It's easy to remember once you see how it is done. Thanks very much. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 22:17, 9 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Autelbas moved to draftspace

Thanks for your contributions to Autelbas. Unfortunately, I do not think it is ready for publishing at this time because it has no sources. I have converted your article to a draft which you can improve, undisturbed for a while.

Dan arndt (talk) 02:18, 19 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

January 2024

Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you tried to give a page a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into Rhisnes. This is known as a "cut-and-paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history, which is legally required for attribution. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.

In most cases for registered users, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page (the tab may be hidden in a dropdown menu for you). This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Wikipedia:Requests for history merge. Thank you. Liz ^{Read!

May 2024

Hello. I have noticed that you often edit without using an edit summary. Please do your best to always fill in the summary field. This helps your fellow editors use their time more productively, rather than spending it unnecessarily scrutinizing and verifying your work. Even a short summary is better than no summary, and summaries are particularly important for large, complex, or potentially controversial edits. To help yourself remember, you may wish to check the "prompt me when entering a blank edit summary" box in your preferences. Thanks! DoctorMatt (talk) 00:00, 21 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
