Hi Normal Name ! The thread you created at the Wikipedia:Teahouse, Is it possible to bring articles from other language Wikipedias here?, has been archived because there was no discussion for a few days (usually at least two days, and sometimes four or more). You can still find the archived discussion here. If you have any additional questions that weren't answered then, please feel free to create a new thread

It has been nearly two years, but you were never notified so maybe this will still be helpful.— Vchimpanzee • talk • contributions • 23:14, 24 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Protolanguages

Hi,

I saw your question about protolanguages. For any language that doesn't have an ISO-639-1 or 3 code, you can use the three letter code "mis". I use "transl" if it doesn't use Latin letters and "lang" for those that use Latin letters. Thanks for your help with the Moss project.

Thank you Ira Leviton! And thank you for your work on Moss as well. – Normal Name (talk) 02:58, 5 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

edit summaries

Just noticed this and wanted to compliment you. I have multiple times told newer editors that the edit summary is as important as the edit, and that a good edit summary might be longer than the actual edit. This is a great example. —valereee (talk) 00:12, 10 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the compliment! I agree that a good edit summary is important and I try my best to give edit summaries that will help other editors if they are looking at the edit history of an article. – Normal Name (talk) 17:40, 25 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Marriage Value

Thanks for your cleaning up the presentation on "Marriage Value", my knowledge is of the subject rather then Wikipedia editing so appreciated. 78.149.212.92 (talk) 09:57, 25 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Happy to clean it up, thank you for using your knowledge to improve Wikipedia. – Normal Name (talk) 17:40, 25 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

ReferenceExpander

Just a friendly heads-up in case you weren't already aware, since it's installed on your common.js: Careless use of ReferenceExpander has caused serious problems. It's currently at MFD, and a large cleanup project is underway to repair the citations damaged by the script. I and several other users have !voted that the script be deleted or disabled, and I wouldn't recommend using it at all unless you thoroughly check every reference it modifies against the previous revision. If you're interested in a more detailed explanation of the script's issues, Folly Mox has provided an excellent summary at the MFD. — SamX [talk · contribs] 05:13, 1 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
