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)

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)

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.

​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)
