Talk:Filiative nomen

grammar

@Udimu: Concerning your recent edit to this article: You're right, it's grammar, not archaeology. But that doesn't make it unsuitable for an encyclopedia. Cf., e.g., Relative clause.

okay, that seems fine then. The case for royal names is just so much debated, double or triple naming is simply another option. The article also needs categories. best wishes -- Udimu (talk) 05:59, 13 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Udimu: Thanks for adding a category, but it was wrong: this has nothing to do with grammatical case. I've changed it to Category:Ancient Egyptian language.

@Udimu: Also "See also" xrefs.

. Tnanks. I was not sure about a suitable category. Do you have any more recent Ancient Egyptian grammar available? That would be a more suitable reference for bibliography. I only have Gardiner's Grammar here and he does not discusses this case. best wishes -- Udimu (talk) 16:38, 14 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, Udimu, I have no Ancient Egyptian grammar or references at all. I'm a linguist, but unlike you I am not an Egyptian specialist. --Thnidu (talk) 00:48, 11 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Gertoux

@Thnidu: The WP:CONSENSUS is that Gertoux does not write WP:RS. Take it to WP:FTN or WP:RSN if you wish. So you may only quote WP:RS, avoid Gertoux as the pest. Lulu.com? That is WP:SPS, i.e. not WP:RS. Tgeorgescu (talk) 16:01, 16 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Tgeorgescu: Thank you for correcting my error. I had not noticed the "self-published" note, nor had I known about Lulu.com, specifically that it is a self-publication site.

My web search for Gérard Gertoux turned up, among other things, a page for him on the Spanish Wikipedia. My Spanish is not at a high level, so I ran the page through Google Translate (here). Oh yeah, a total crank.

And now that I've found and read Wikipedia:Fringe theories/Noticeboard/Archive 64#Gérard Gertoux, it's even plainer to see. Note, for future reference: I'd've understood sooner if you had provided a link to that archive and entry. I'm not very familiar with the structure of that area of WP, and if not for their handy search box I might not have found the section at all.
