[edit] {{AustroAsiatic-lang-stub}}

I've created this, feeding into the same category as lang-stub for the time being, and tagged the four I'd found earlier. If this gets significantly larger -- or if "Wikiproject Austro-Asiatic langugages" springs into being -- the issue of a separate category can be revisited. Alai 03:40, 18 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Register in Mon

Appreciated your expansion on register in the Mon article. What do you think about just changing the name of that section to "Register" (since it's not about phonation per se--i.e., not about voicing--but only about phonation differences on vowels as a contrastive feature)? By the way, "tone" in Burmese is partly a phonation thing too--with modal ("clear"), breathy ("heavy") and creaky tones. I did some instrumental phonetic studies, but the actual nature of the three "tones" never really came clear to me. Where you draw the line between tone languages and register languages has never been clear to me, where either might use pitch, pitch contour, phonation types and length in various ways to distinguish words. ...Anyway, good job, thanks. · rodii · 17:18, 31 March 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the reply! It's great to see Mon-Khmer languages on Wikipedia. I agree, Burmese is definitely somewhere into true tone language territory and Mon isn't. I wrote my dissertation on Burmese (but more in syntax than phonology); later I did field work in Africa on another tone language and it became increasingly clear to me that tone in Southeast Asia is almost a different phenomenon than it is in Africa.

I look forward to your work on Mon language. I knew Gerard Diffloth a little, years ago, who know more about Mon than anyone I've ever met, but unfortunately seemed averse to writing it up, so I never learned much. I noticed you have a redlink for Nyahkur on your user page, by the way--I thought Nyahkur (or Nyah Kur) was basically just a Thai Mon dialect. Not? · rodii · 00:47, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Sothea and Samouth

It was my pleasure to get the articles together. And it's great to know there's someone else out there who appreciates Khmer rock and roll. Wisekwai 21:14, 31 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Kurds

Hey, no problem. I was going to fix it, but you beat me to it. :) Don't forget to check the article for neutrality. —Khoikhoi 03:04, 23 April 2006 (UTC)

Hey William. Yes, it is a bit of a problem. Kurdistan is just a geographic region, and using the term in a political way wouldn't reflect a neutral point of view. There article was mostly written by Kurdish editors, so it seems that some of them have added their bias into the article.

As for the Counter Vandalism Unit, I revert vandalism on the (2,000) pages on my watchlist as well, but the main thing that I think people are referring to is RC (recent changes) patrolling. I do that also, it's sort of boring at first, but at least it's helping the project out. To join just add {{user CVU1-en}} or {{user CVU2-en}} to your user page. The main duty I guess is RC patrol, I don't know of any others. Basically, you just revert the vandals and give them the {{test}} templates. —Khoikhoi 04:16, 23 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Immigration protests

Thanks for keeping the "scare" stuff out of the 2006 U.S. immigration reform protests article. By any chance have you taken a look at my comment about the terms "illegal", "unauthorized", and "undocumented"? I know I should have brought the issues up on the talk to illegal immigration, and perhaps I will copy them there...--Rockero 20:25, 30 April 2006 (UTC)

Yes, I will be busy all day tomorrow. That's why I was hoping we could get it taken care of today, because if everything works out well, it should go on the front page tomorrow. Regardless, can I ask you to please keep an eye on it tomorrow? Thanks, --Rockero 03:05, 1 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks for the heads up...

But it looks like I was beaten to that welcome. Keep up the great work! Kukini 05:41, 1 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Talk:Great American Boycott vulgarity and racist comments

Hello, I got your name from the list of Admins. I have a question. I don't like removing things from discussion pages but somebody has recently posted a very vulgar, racist comment with links to White Supremist websites at this talk page. Can these be deleted? If you could take a look, it's under the subsection "I Agree". Thanks.--WilliamThweatt 17:01, 1 May 2006 (UTC)

Somebody already deleted the comments as "trolling". I didn't do it because I just wasn't sure if it was proper. If you can take a look at the edit history here and maybe leave a message on my talk page explaining under what circumstances comments can be deleted from talk pages, I'd appreciate the enlightenment and I won't have to bother admins in the future. Thanks.--WilliamThweatt 17:18, 1 May 2006 (UTC)

No problem, there are no hard rules about what should be deleted from talk pages, but I agree this is a pretty easy case of something being ok to revert [1]. The civility policy is probably worth reading to get a very general idea of what is acceptable behaviour on any page, but that includes talk pages as well. Wikipedia:Talk page guidelines might be helpful also, but most of those guidelines are more for resolution between people acting in good faith. That particular edit though, I would almost classify as vandalism, and of course that can be reverted wherever it shows up. If you have any other questions let me know. I doubt many people will yell at you for reverting people screaming racial slurs though, they shouldn't anyway. Your experiences may vary in practice though if you mainly work on more contentious articles, nevertheless, people should remain civil. :) - cohesion 18:44, 1 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Kurdish people

Hello William Thweatt. On the article itself page 19 but on the PDF-reader page 24. Also I think it is not only his own estimation but he mentions a source for that. Besides there are many scholars supporting this high growing population issue. Thanks. Wirya 15:47, 27 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Jarai language

Hi, Jarai language is in need of an expert to check it (I've just created it). Thanks for your help! Badagnani 06:38, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Your Vandalism warning on my talk page

Hi, that wasn't vandalism. Just an edit conflict. :P -- Shizane ^talk_contribs 20:05, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

I apologize, I realized that and meant to hit the "Rollback" button, but hit the "Rollback test1-n" button by mistake. I immediately removed the misplaced warning from your talk page. No offense, friend.--WilliamThweatt 20:12, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Edit Warriors girding for battle

You might be interested to note that Fellow-edit is assembling the troops to do edit war upon us "liberals" over at Ann Coulter. I'm of the opinion that this sort of behavior violates the spirit, if not the letter, of WP:AGF and WP:CIVIL. Kasreyn 23:16, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

Indeed. You and lawyer2b have been absolutely impeccably polite and constructive at that article. Kasreyn 23:33, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

Hilarious reply to Fellow-edit by Jchap, who points out the self-described "newbie" who mysteriously already knows how to use templates and vote in AfD's.  :P Kasreyn 00:09, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Needed: Another Ann Coulter Fix

This time the first eight or so Notes are messed up. Looks like some more ref tag stuff, but I'm not yet skilled with the Wiki version of ref tags. Lou Sander 03:53, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Peer review for Myanmar

Hello, I have begun a peer review for Myanmar. Please express your opinions at Wikipedia:Peer review/Myanmar. Thank you. Hintha 21:41, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] RE Clan Morrison

Good on you for having a go at rewriting it. There were a couple of things which immediately stuck out when i read through it ; first of all the fact that the first two paragraphs are the same, repeated in different sections and secondly that there were statements sitting about which ended with exclamation marks! which really isnt encyclopedic at all. Anyway the article looks a lot better after your edits, well done.siarach 19:10, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Myanmar article

Hello. I've tried to condense the History section in the article, and I've added some more paragraphs about music and cuisine in the Culture section. Can you help copyedit the History section further, and perhaps add more information in the Geography section? I don't know what else to leave out from the History section, and I'm not that knowledgable in the Geography of Myanmar.

What else should be added to the lead section? WikiProject Countries advises the following:

The article should start with a good introduction, giving name of the country, location in the world, bordering countries, seas and the like. Also give other names by which the country may still be known (for example Holland, Persia). Also, add a few facts about the country, the things that it is known for (for example the mentioning of windmills in the Netherlands article).

If the etymology of a country's name is too long to explain in the lead section, split it out into a separate section (titled "Name" or similar). Naming disputes can also be handled in separate sections.

Should the most well-known Burmese figures (Aung San Suu Kyi, U Thant, Aung San) be mentioned here? Or should Myanmar's ethnic and linguistic diversity or Burmese culture be mentioned? Hintha 01:16, 15 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Cambodian literature

I did a search for "Khmer literature" and also "Cambodian literature" and was amazed to find that no articles exist in Wikipedia. Do you know somebody who could work on this? --- Jakob Dempsey, YZU, Taiwan

[edit] Thanks

I'm still on my Wikibreak, just checking from a library computer, and I noticed that you reverted some vandalism to my userpage. I appreciate that. I noticed that the vandal was claiming both you and Scientizzle were my socks... any idea what that's all about? The only page I can think of that all three of us edit is Intelligent Design (and related pages). In any case, thanks.  :) Kasreyn 22:26, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

Hi again. I should be online permanently soon, for now I'm still checking from the library occasionally. Thanks for continuing to keep an eye on my userpage. I appreciate it.  :) Kasreyn 18:36, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Cambodia FAR

The review for Cambodia is inches from completion, I think. Tony listed two small issues at the end. Any chance you could take care of those and give us an update? Cheers and good work on this one, Marskell 08:03, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Welcome to Wikipedia:WikiProject Ethnic groups

Hi William, welcome to Wikipedia:WikiProject Ethnic groups. I saw your info. The page on Austronesian people is brand-new and fairly desperately in need of help, if you have the time. By the way, I'm working on Taiwanese Aborigines, Formosan languages and to a lesser extent Austronesian languages. Cheers --Ling.Nut 19:22, 16 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Oh PS

I took another look at your user page and had a different thought. The Chamic languages (from my viewpoint, esp. Tsat) are particularly interesting among the Austronesian languages, as the ones that represent a sort of counter-migration back to the continent.. there's a little note about it on Austronesian languages (see Thurgood, Graham (1999), From Ancient Cham to Modern Dialects. Two Thousand Years of Language Contact and Change. Oceanic Linguistics Special Publications No. 28, University of Hawai'i Press, Honolulu.)--Ling.Nut 19:35, 16 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Morocco mediation

A request for mediation has been filed with the Mediation Committee that lists you as a party. The Mediation Committee requires that all parties listed in a mediation must be notified of the mediation. Please review the request at Wikipedia:Requests for mediation/Morocco, and indicate whether you agree or refuse to mediate. If you are unfamiliar with mediation, please refer to Wikipedia:Mediation. There are only seven days for everyone to agree, so please check as soon as possible.

Hey William, thanks a lot for supporting me in my recent RfA. It succeeded, and I am very grateful to all of you. If you ever need help with anything, please don't hesitate to ask. Also, feel free point out any mistakes I make! Thanks again, —Khoikhoi 04:57, 21 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Great work

I wrote the article Indian influence on Chinese martial arts. Thanks for the extensive grammer cleanup and presentation work. Your work is well appreciated. Freedom skies 01:20, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Unreferenced?

Actually, Manchuria does have one reference at the bottom of the page, so it's not "entirely" unreferenced.--Niohe 21:03, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Wikipedia:WikiProject Burma/Myanmar

Hi! Please join us! Chris 22:48, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

Hi William! Is there a Khmer-language request template, like we have made at {{Burmese}}? Chris 19:05, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

Unfortunately, no. It's been a long while since I tried to create a template but I will attempt one sometime today. Were you thinking of the new articles I created yesterday? If so, I've thought of that as well, but I've been trying to decide if I should use images or unicode fonts to show the Khmer spellings.--William Thweatt ^Talk | ^Contribs 19:12, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for adding those articles. Burmese has the same problem with unicode, so I used a graphic. If you want, just use the Burmese template and just make it Khmer-relevant. Thanks! Chris 20:18, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

Also, take a look at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Council/Proposals#Cambodia . Cheers, Chris 08:25, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

Thanks, I left my comments there. By the way, I just created {{Khmer}} and a corresponding category.--William Thweatt ^Talk | ^Contribs 17:14, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Morocco Mediation

Given that no one has replied to the mediation within the last 17 days, I am closing it as being stale. From a cursory glance, it appears to me that mediation is no longer needed. However, if this is not the case, then you are more than welcome to file a new case. Thanks. On behalf of the Mediation Committee, ^demon^{[omg plz]} 16:21, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Jesse Jackson

Hm. I just re-read Talk:Jesse Jackson to remind myself of the disagreement we were involved in. I'm sorry you concluded that my motivations there were political; I'd have done the same thing if it had been (say) Rick Santorum. I thought we had had a good strong discussion of the quote in question as regards Wikipedia policy and encyclopedia writing, not politics -- my stance was, basically, "he says a lot of stupid stuff; what's so special about this incoherent one?" Otherwise, we've been doing about the same thing on that article: defending it from general vandalism. However, if you perceive I've been acting politically there, you're probably not alone; can you suggest how I might proceed in the future to diminish the appearance of political behavior? --jpgordon^∇∆∇∆ 16:33, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] RE:Your post to KhoiKhoi

Users welcomed (ip welcome) and warned {{subst:test2|Iran}}. I'm sure KhoiKhoi will follow up if necessary. All the best with finals.NinaEliza (talk • contribs • count • logs • email) 16:42, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

Thanks Nina. William, what probably happened is some user just added the {{sprotected}} template, and thought that by simply adding the tag that it would actually protect the page. Of course, only admins can protect pages, and if you see anons editing a page, it's not semi-protected. Here is a view of all the edits that occured from when Ryan Delaney unprotected the article at 18:49, 14 December 2006 to when Clevelander started editing it at 02:12, 16 December 2006. I took a look at it, and at a quick glance, I don't see any vandalism that hasn't already been reverted. Cheers, Khoikhoi 06:42, 16 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Savage page

No, YOU are in danger of sanction as you have repeatedly disregarded the very rules to mention. (EnglishEfternamn 18:39, 21 December 2006 (UTC))

Actually according to official Wikipedia Policy WP:BLP removing material not in compliance with this policy is not subject to the 3RR rule: "In cases where the information is derogatory and poorly sourced or unsourced, this kind of edit is an exception to the three-revert rule."--WilliamThweatt 21:26, 21 December 2006 (UTC)

Kudos on neatly nipping that "anti-homosexual" versus "homophobic" snit. Frotz661 01:48, 25 December 2006 (UTC)

yes, I dare say its close to being a decent article now, thanks to you two. On a slightly darker note, I saw that EnglishEfternamn plans on requesting adminship. Mbc362 16:44, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] A matter of honour

As a small matter of personal honour, your edit summary in the socialism article ("re-edited various grammar and punctuation fixes wiped out by Nikodemus' insistent blanket reversions") got things the wrong way around: I was not the one doing the blanket reversions - WGee and 172 were responsible for that. In fact, I had just restored your grammar corrections to the first paragraph a few minutes before you made your most recent edit. -- Nikodemos 00:58, 19 January 2007 (UTC)

If that's the case, my humblest and sincerest apologies. The edit history is so confusing it was hard to determine the culprit. Your innocence is duly noted, recognized and appreciated. I hope your honor is satisfied because I am not looking forward to being challanged to a duel. :-)--WilliamThweatt 01:15, 19 January 2007 (UTC)

My honor is satisfied, but I'm a bit disappointed about the lack of a duel. :-)

On another note, regarding an improvement of the socialism article, would you be interested in participating in an improvement drive a few weeks from now? ("a few weeks from now" rather than "today" because I don't have the time for a major undertaking like that right now) Most of all I will need someone to think of section titles. Yes, section titles. Every time I try to expand an article my biggest problem is that I have no idea what to write about - I need someone to think of subjects for me. -- Nikodemos 01:28, 19 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] A comment on socialism

Upon reflection, I notice that this comment of mine was a little haughty, particularly the last sentence in light of your profession. I'm not sure whether or not you interpreted it that way, but I was quite impatient at the time and I apologize for that. -- WGee 05:05, 19 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] About my comment

I see I worded myself poorly and as a result you misunderstood me here[2]. If the user's name was Terrorism101, I certainly would not have defended it. My comment was referring to the War on terror, which seems address a lot more than only terrorism. I felt much of the concern surrounding this name may have been due to the mis-use of the word terror as terrorism over the last few years. I hope I have clarified. HighInBC ^{(Need help?

[edit] Offer

Thanks for the offer, but I had a look at the page you mentioned and I would fail it because of the lack of in-line citations. You have five books in References, but very few page numbers in Notes. There is a reference for an external Pdf page which is very good, and can be quoted extensively (by paraphrasing, of course...) The whole article could be a lot more detailed, and the flow could be improved, BTW. Thanks again for your offer. andreasegde 06:33, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Effects of Hurricane Isabel in New York and New England

Isn't it a little harsh to fail the article, given that it passes 4 of the 5 criteria, with the last being simply due to not quite enough information. Wouldn't putting it on hold be a more appropriate action then failing it right away? Hurricanehink (talk) 05:32, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Justanother and WP:BLP

I saw that you had removed a section of an article talk page at the repeated request of Justanother at WP:BLPN. I wonder if you would care to examine his actions at Tilman Hausherr, where he seems to be following a quite surprisingly different interpretation of WP:BLP. -- Antaeus Feldspar 04:01, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

Sigh. If you have any desire at all to continue your involvement then I, of course, welcome your comments. I would not blame you in the least, though, if you turned off the computer and went to watch Benny Hill reruns. --Justanother 04:28, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

Feldspar, the complaint at WP:BLPN served to draw the comments to my attention, but I did not remove them on the basis of the complaint. As I stated in the edit summary (and also at WP:BLPN) my reasoning was more in line with yours in the response you gave to the comments. They were basically TROLLish comments, offering nothing constructive and with no intent to improve the article. I have taken a look at the Hausherr article and left my comments under the complaint you filed.--William Thweatt ^Talk | ^Contribs 16:44, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks

Thanks for your input over at Antaeus' posting on Tilman. I had glanced at WP:NAM a few times but never long enough to truly appreciate it. I especially need to work on it as I allow myself to be "rightously provoked" and give myself permission to be as wickedly sardonic as I can manage in return. That is not especially a "class act". While that may have assisted me in the past, there were likely other approaches that I could have taken also and that would have served as well and that I might want to concentrate more on in the future. My only defense is that when you are being ganged up on and bullied in your first visit to the playground, you may not realize that the teachers are just on the other side of the door. Take care. --Justanother 03:55, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Cambodia

Hi William. Thanks for your message. I did have a look at the issue being discussed on the Cambodia talk page, and with the direction and tone the conversation is taking, for my own sanity's sake, I need to stay away from it for now. Perhaps the issue can be revisited at a later date? Thanks again! — WiseKwai 04:27, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Hello

Hi, i just finished reading your comment on the wikipedia proposal page for Cambodia and I'm glad to find someone else who wants to contribute to Cambodian related articles. I've also noticed many pages are very poorly written and while i may not be a college graduate i hope to contribute in any way i can. Out of curiosity, what is it that interests you in Cambodia?

[edit] Khmer

I've left a couple of comments on Talk:Khmer language. I know nothing about Khmer, so my remarks are from the point of view of an interested general reader. -- NigelG (or Ndsg) | Talk 17:59, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

PS How do you pronounce your surname? Just wondering. IPA will do just fine! --NigelG (or Ndsg) | Talk 15:40, 15 March 2007 (UTC)
