Hello[edit]

I created this page solely to remove a red link. Forgive me :P -Xbony2 (talk) 23:59, 8 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Please see WT:FICTION, particularly "With respect to names of persons or places from fictional universes, they shall not be included unless they are used out of context in an attributive sense.". Does this entry meet that criterion? DTLHS (talk) 02:44, 6 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hmm. Well, I found an example in s:Heart of the West/VIII:
"Buckley," commented Ranger No. 3, who was a misguided Eastern man, burdened with an education, "scraps in such a solemn manner that I have been led to doubt its spontaneity. I'm not quite onto his system, but he fights, like Tybalt, by the book of arithmetic."
Here's another one in s:Nicholas Nickleby/Chapter 29:
"Jupiter!" exclaimed Mr. Folair, "what an unsophisticated shepherd you are, Johnson! Why, applause from the house when you first come on. So he has gone on night after night, never getting a hand and you getting a couple of rounds at least, and sometimes three, till at length he got quite desperate, and had half a mind last night to play Tybalt with a real sword, and pink you—not dangerously, but just enough to lay you up for a month or two."
Is that good? -Xbony2 (talk) 14:52, 6 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Bambara verb abada[edit]

Did you mean adverb? — Ungoliant (falai) 01:33, 4 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Yes ;P -Xbony2 (talk) 18:47, 4 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Tibetan[edit]

Hi, please make sure the Tibetan words you added are verified (e.g. ཙངས་པ‎ meaning "lizard") and conform to the existing format in Category:Tibetan lemmas (e.g. titles do not end in །‎; ཀློག‎ using the conjugation-of template). Thanks. Wyang (talk) 22:19, 11 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Why did you add an RFV template to your own creation? —Μετάknowledgediscuss/deeds 00:04, 12 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Metaknowledge dunno, that was like a year ago. I probably got confused while translating it. -Xbony2 (talk) 00:28, 12 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Hmm, going back I asked the Buginese-speaking guy who made the page what it meant. I got stuck on the POS but it looks like I was right the first time. -Xbony2 (talk) 00:32, 12 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
OK, thanks. Leaving it tagged but not listed is unhelpful, just so you know. —Μετάknowledgediscuss/deeds 02:56, 12 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I was going to go back to it I believe, although obviously I've come back to it a bit late :P -Xbony2 (talk) 11:19, 12 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

CFI for appendix-only conlangs[edit]

Here's a notification that a CFI for appendix-only conlangs has passed and can be implemented in upcoming months. I'd like to enquire how you feel about the CFI and whether you would propose any changes. ←₰-→ Lingo Bingo Dingo (talk) 18:02, 5 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think I'm active enough to be able to vote anymore, and this passed anyway, but it seems to me that this is a positive change. Relaxing the restrictions is a good idea imo. Your objections seem valid, though. -Xbony2 (talk) 18:20, 6 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
