Hello! I am an amateur linguist for almost 10 years. I am interested in many language families, namely Indo-European, Yeniseian and Uralic. If you have any suggestions or questions - feel free to ask me. Dunav1918 (talk) 20:37, 24 July 2024 (UTC)
Ket entries
[edit]Hey! Nice to see someone work on Ket. I was wondering if I could ask you to add references to the entries you create? If you're not sure how to do that, just tell me, I'll try to help out. Thadh (talk) 13:05, 25 July 2024 (UTC)
- All right. All of them are from Verner's 2002. dictionary, which is the only official dictionary of the Ket language. Dunav1918 (talk) 14:34, 25 July 2024 (UTC)
- Sorry I missed the reply. See
{{R:ket:Verner:2002}}. You can just add*under a "references" section on the bottom of an entry, and additionally specify the page by doing something like{{R:ket:Verner:2002}}{{R:ket:Verner:2002|page=15}}. Thadh (talk) 21:08, 26 July 2024 (UTC)

Etymologies
[edit]When changing etymologies 1) please don't change an existing + template to a non-plus template, and vice-versa 2) please don't forget to use things lik {{surf}} and 3) you don't always need to full chain going all the way back, there are ways to deal with that.

- To be clear, these is about specifically Slavic etymologies. Other languages may have other customs. Thadh (talk) 19:36, 9 August 2024 (UTC)
- Yes, each language has it's own customs. My comment is about existing customs or what is currently on a page. Vininn126 (talk) 19:37, 9 August 2024 (UTC)
Sources, sources, sources!
[edit]I honestly don't get it. You're obviously not a speaker of Nganasan, or Ket, or Northern Selkup. So you must be using some source for these entries.
If the source is good - give it! Why make a bad-quality entry if you can make a good-quality entry with the same amount of work.
If the source is bad - don't use it!!
We're not in the business of cleaning up after you or making sure you don't add nonsence - if you don't start adding references to the entries you create,you will get blocked - simply because others don't have the time or knowledge to find those sources themselves.
