Thank you!

Just a quick note of thanks for your NeverUseMobileVersion widget. A small thing, perhaps, but exactly what I've always wanted but didn't know until now existed and couldn't have created myself. May the world shower blessings on your head.—ShelfSkewed Talk 16:15, 14 July 2020 (UTC)

Why, thank you  – Thjarkur (talk) 17:22, 14 July 2020 (UTC)

Draft:June Werner

Thank you for your comments and guidance. Hopefully my edits address your concerns.

Waakye pronunciation

Thanks for adding IPA in Waakye. In transcriptions linked to Help:IPA/English, usually we don't transcribe secondary stress following primary stress within words, unlike some American dictionaries, as it's not contrastive. Given you used WAH, it seems what you meant to add was /ɑː/, not /æ/. /æ/ is a checked vowel, so it never ends a word (except perhaps in onomatopoeia like baa), and pronunciations in the cited video do sound like /ɑː/ compared to their /æ/, which is shorter and closer to to my ears. Also, /i/ is for unstressed and word-final or prevocalic positions only, and /eɪ/ is represented by ay, not ey, in our H:RESPELL key. I don't hear variants other than /-eɪ/ at least in the first few minutes of the video, but I might be missing something. But these are all minor quibbles and I appreciate your contributions. Feel free to ask me any questions (as I might ask you something about Icelandic!). Nardog (talk) 15:29, 18 July 2020 (UTC)

​Ah, thank you. That Ghanaian accent sounded identical to a short /æ/ to me. They seemed to go back and forth with the endings, with wɑːtʃɑː at 2:45 and wɑːtʃi at 0:32 for example, but that's probably not important. I rarely transcribe English here, will ask someone check my work next time. – Thjarkur (talk) 13:07, 19 July 2020 (UTC)

Copying within Misplaced Pages

Thanks for identifying the source of the material in your edit.

This type of edit does get picked up by Copy Patrol and a good edit summary helps to make sure we don't accidentally revert it. However, for future use, would you note the best practices wording as outlined at Misplaced Pages:Copying_within_Wikipedia? In particular, adding the phrase "see that page's history for attribution" helps ensure that proper attribution is preserved.S Philbrick(Talk) 13:00, 20 July 2020 (UTC)

Will do – Thjarkur (talk) 13:07, 20 July 2020 (UTC)

Culture of Paraguay

Hi! English is not my native language, so I can have some problems with grammars and more. I think is very short the article, as my intention is tranlating this spanish version Cultura de Paraguay which is longer.

– Willians01100 (talk) 17:52, 20 July 2020 (UTC)

​I have split the section from the main article to Culture of Paraguay, you can now edit that page. You can see your old version by clicking here. I can probably help with the translation, just let me know. If you are able to find some more sources in addition to the ones used by the Spanish Misplaced Pages, that would of course be good. – Thjarkur (talk) 18:11, 20 July 2020 (UTC)

The Reason for WPWP

The editing is based on enriching Misplaced Pages Pages Without Pictures — Preceding unsigned comment added by Major Lyte (talk • contribs) 10:20, 22 July 2020 (UTC)

​ I know what it means, but I'm asking you to use descriptive edit summaries. Removing italics is also not adding pictures. – Thjarkur (talk) 10:22, 22 July 2020 (UTC)

Based on this, it looks like someone is cheating! Picture was graciously added by one @Godstime Elijah:, not @Major Lyte:. Leo Breman (talk) 15:39, 22 July 2020 (UTC)

Transliteration English

Could the name be transliterated/anglicized as "Thyarkur"? Bernspeed (talk) 23:41, 24 July 2020 (UTC)

​Sure, even "Thyaskus" if one wants to push for similarity for English-speaking ears. – Thjarkur (talk) 21:35, 25 July 2020 (UTC)

Berbers

In your recent edit, you added {{lang|tmh-Latn|Amajegh}} which is an unrecognized language. You can probably fix this much faster than I can. Thanks. MB 03:43, 26 July 2020 (UTC)

JavaScript (NeverUseMobileVersion)

Hi, Is your above JavaScript perfectly secure and doesn't cause your account to be compromised? I don't know whether it's secure or not. I want to use it but thinking about safety first. Thank you. Ping me kindly. Empire AS 16:22, 23 July 2020 (UTC) Empire AS 06:14, 31 July 2020 (UTC)

​It's never secure to load userscripts from other users because they could change the script later to do any kind of edit on your behalf. I would recommend making a copy of the script in your own userspace, that way you can be sure that it won't be changed. Copy this file over to User:Empire AS/NeverUseMobileVersion.js and then add the text mw.loader.load( "https://en.wikipedia.org/search/?title=User:Empire_AS/NeverUseMobileVersion.js&action=raw&ctype=text/javascript" ); to your common.js file. Then you're only loading a script you control yourself. As you can see, the script is very short, the only thing it does is change the URL. – Thjarkur (talk) 08:47, 31 July 2020 (UTC)

@Þjarkur:, Thank you. I was really worried about its security. The idea you suggested, I was going to try it before. But I didn't do that, as I was doing it without your permission and in a way, it was stealing. Thank you. Empire AS 08:54, 31 July 2020 (UTC)

​Everything on Misplaced Pages (apart from images) is licensed under the Creative Commons license, so you're free to copy and modify anything. Usually you write an attribution notice in the edit summary when copying: "Copying text from X, see that article for attribution history", but this tiny script is marked as CC0 so you don't even have to do that. – Thjarkur (talk) 09:01, 31 July 2020 (UTC)

I've created the pages. But the script doesn't removes m from URL. Instead, it shows yellow-coloured background on some words. It loads URL in this way . Recently, I used this script and then it was finely working and loading desktop site automatically. But now, it doesn't load desktop site. Even if you switch-on the desktop mode. Can you fix it? Have you any script that automatically loads desktop site on mobile? Thank you. Empire AS 11:10, 31 July 2020 (UTC)

​Your script is correctly set up, but your browser hasn't refreshed its cache yet. Try hitting reload. (The yellow background is something Google adds to its searches, that's not coming from Misplaced Pages) – Thjarkur (talk) 11:19, 31 July 2020 (UTC)

I've cleared cache, but why still word m remains? But you see that I haven't added "CC0" in js. Is it compulsory? Empire AS 11:21, 31 July 2020 (UTC)

​Turns out that you need to place the import line at the top of your common.js, then it works. A CC0 notice is not compulsory. – Thjarkur (talk) 11:29, 31 July 2020 (UTC)

Yes, It started working, but I don't know what's difference between top and bottom placing. I thank you for creating such a js that helps mobile users. Empire AS 11:49, 31 July 2020 (UTC)

​I mean that mw.loader.load( "https://en.wikipedia.org/search/?title=User:Empire_AS/NeverUseMobileVersion.js&action=raw&ctype=text/javascript" ); needs to come first in common.js, like here. – Thjarkur (talk) 13:35, 31 July 2020 (UTC)

Yes, I understand that, but I didn't understand why it works on the top and not works at bottom. Thank you. Empire AS 13:41, 31 July 2020 (UTC)

​The reason is that the mobile view doesn't support the "importScript" function, and it just gives up on executing the script after it has encountered a function it doesn't recognize. – Thjarkur (talk) 13:44, 31 July 2020 (UTC)
