Hi, do you have a language code for Corsican? I thought it was just a dialect. --Connel MacKenzie 23:50, 28 February 2008 (UTC)

Never mind - just found it - "cos". --Connel MacKenzie 23:53, 28 February 2008 (UTC)

Index:Corsican

Hello and thanks for all your work on Corsican. I have a question about the index. It looks like there's a full entry in the index and I'm a little confused. The only motivation I can think of is that you're trying to include all the forms of aver, which is a bad idea. With highly inflected languages, it's best to just put the lemma form there, and then include a full inflection table at the lemma entry. So, for example, Index:Ancient Greek/λ has λύω, and then on that page I have all......however many forms I've got there. :) I would advise following a similar pattern with Corsican, otherwise the page will quickly become unusable. You may want to chat with some of the other folks working on Romance languages around here. User:SemperBlotto is working on Italian, User:Keene is working on French, we've got a few folks on Spanish, but I know User:TheDaveRoss is one of them. User:EncycloPetey is doing Latin. You may want to see how some of the other languages are doing things and try to mimic them, so we keep things neat and tidy. Any questions feel free to ask. -Atelaes λάλει ἐμοί 04:21, 29 February 2008 (UTC)

Now wait a minute there. It’s nice you’re helping with a lesser known language, but please format your contributions following the guidelines in the page given above. ottu, quattru, trè: these really don’t help. H. (talk) 09:44, 29 February 2008 (UTC)

There’s ongoing discussion about your substandard entries, please stop contributing now! -_⸘- dictātor·mundī 09:20, 11 May 2021 (UTC)

@Erutuon, could you possibly do a bot operation to insert missing head templets in entries? I would then be able to concentrate on fixing other stuffs. -_⸘- dictātor·mundī 10:09, 11 May 2021 (UTC)

@Inqilābī: I prefer not to at the moment. It requires coming up with rules because some "no head temp" entries need language-specific templates, while others can get by with {{head}}. But see below for a list of "no head temp" edits by Peterbruce01 that may or may not have been cleaned up. Not a huge number — Eru·tuon 21:26, 12 May 2021 (UTC)

Sourcing

Hi, apart from your obvious coding errors, could you please, please, please provide sources? For example, at gan, you have provided the translation "goanna", but according to "The Sydney language", the word for goanna is wirriga, while gan means merely "reptile". I really don't want to RFV all your entries, so could you add the appropriate sources you're following? Thadh (talk) 11:58, 11 May 2021 (UTC)
