Your comments on ] page do not make sense. All languages and relations have been cited to the best of human knowledge, using a heavy reliance on Glottolog and Ethnologue. The updated page not only holds the old page's information but also updates information and clarifies the topic. It is well established that the French Sign Language language family is a language family that exists and is a notable topic, but by your logic, the current page with its citations (of which, the new page uses and then has many more) should be deleted and has no place on Misplaced Pages. | |||
What sorts of verification are needed at this point? What can be done to resolve this? | |||

Luri language
Hi, please stop vandalizing my username, nor Zack90 or other users are related to me, I asked Zack90 once, and it turned out we both got busted by a duck test but as you see on Misplaced Pages:Sockpuppet_investigations/Mjbmr/Archive it says "Inconclusive", also please remove newly content was added to Luri language, Minjai is Northern Luri means Central, which is wrong, please also undo other edits you think are related to me, I'm not responsible for any of them, beside Zack90 is not answering my emails.

Your edit on heptagraph
What is your knowledge about Russian? TimurKirov (talk) 11:57, 21 July 2015 (UTC)
- I reverted your edits. You make the OR claim that Russian sounds occur in German and you don't seem to understand what a heptagraph is -- it's not just a sequence of seven letters. — kwami (talk) 19:07, 21 July 2015 (UTC)
Geography of Pluto has been nominated for Did You Know
Hello, Kwamikagami. I've nominated Geography of Pluto, an article you either created or significantly contributed to, to appear on Misplaced Pages's Main Page as part of Did you know. You can see the hook and the discussion here. You are welcome to participate! Thank you. Antony–22 (⁄contribs) 07:45, 23 July 2015 (UTC) |
Caucasus Greeks
Dear Kwamikagami
The Caucasus Greeks page was so called after extensive discussion on how best to translate designations of the community by themselves and others. In English 'Caucasian' is confusing as this is used as a semi- scientific term to designate all so- called 'white' peoples whether or not they have an actual link to the Caucasus. In Turkish, on the other hand, the geographic designation is exactly what is used for both Caucasus Greeks (Kavkaz Rum) and Pontic Greeks (Pontus Rum), and also reflects how other minorities from the Caucasus are referred to, eg Caucasus Jews and Caucasus Germans, again the English adjective 'Caucasian' is not used here so as to avoid confusion. To English speakers Caucasian Greeks suggests that these are the Greeks who are 'white' in contrast to those who are not, rather than that these are the Greeks from the South Caucasus. If possible, can you please therefore revert your edits of the Caucasus Greeks page. Thank you A Gounaris (talk) 10:13, 23 July 2015 (UTC)
- I've restored the RM consensus. Kwami, I'll AGF on this one that you didn't see there had already been a discussion on the talk page, but really these controversial moves by you happen way too often. Jenks24 (talk) 14:07, 23 July 2015 (UTC)
- Okay. Wasn't aware of the discussion. — kwami (talk) 20:43, 23 July 2015 (UTC)

I've left some comments on the Hun-Came and Vucub-Came talk pages. Primefac (talk) 19:49, 24 July 2015 (UTC)
Language names
Speaking of Tagalog, do you know why Sanskrit and Pali are not X language as well? I never understood that, especially since Sanskrit is a descriptor, "Perfected", referring to "speech, language" - it's literally missing the language part. Ogress smash! 05:44, 25 July 2015 (UTC)
- It's a matter of disambiguation in English. Sanskrit and Pali refer only to the language, or to things associated with the language. Tagalog, on the other hand, is named after the people and is inherently ambiguous. Our preference at NCLANG is to chose the root common to the people and the language and to disambiguate: e.g. Swahili people and Swahili language. However, if we were to go with the derived forms, Waswahili and Kiswahili, there would be no need to add "people" or "language". — kwami (talk) 17:28, 25 July 2015 (UTC)

- It's not a personal attack to comment on your behaviour. You're being a hypocrite, and it's entirely appropriate for me to call you out on it. I will change it to you're being a hypocrite though so as not to suggest this is your general character. — kwami (talk) 18:04, 25 July 2015 (UTC)
French Sign Language language family
Your comments on French Sign Language family page do not make sense. All languages and relations have been cited to the best of human knowledge, using a heavy reliance on Glottolog and Ethnologue. The updated page not only holds the old page's information but also updates information and clarifies the topic. It is well established that the French Sign Language language family is a language family that exists and is a notable topic, but by your logic, the current page with its citations (of which, the new page uses and then has many more) should be deleted and has no place on Misplaced Pages.
What sorts of verification are needed at this point? What can be done to resolve this?
