Now, with the welcome out of the way, could you explain your first edit? Seems an odd thing for a new user to do. Sarcasticidealist (talk) 04:20, 17 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

That is an old username that I wanted to retire, but I didn't know what was the right way to do that, and have never bothered to find out. — ʀoyoтϵ 01:31, 17 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Unreferenced BLPs

Hello Royote! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot alerting you that 1 of the articles that you created is tagged as an Unreferenced Biography of a Living Person. The biographies of living persons policy requires that all personal or potentially controversial information be sourced. In addition, to ensure verifiability, all biographies should be based on reliable sources. If you were to bring this article up to standards, it would greatly help us with the current 139 article backlog. Once the article is adequately referenced, please remove the {{unreferencedBLP}} tag. Here is the article:

Pidgin

Hello Royote, and thank you for your recent edit on Pidgin. I agree that there needs to be some more citations there, but I think having one "citation needed" for every line of text is overkill - it makes the article a lot less readable. I've compacted the citation needed templates into one - see what you think. All the best. — Mr. Stradivarius (drop me a line) 23:36, 16 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Haha yeah, that's what I should have done, but I guess I wanted to be perfectly clear. Whoops! — ʀoyoтϵ 01:27, 17 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Notification: changes to "Mark my edits as minor by default" preference

Hello there. This is an automated message to tell you about the gradual phasing out of the preference entitled "Mark all edits minor by default", which you currently have (or very recently had) enabled.

On 13 March 2011, this preference was hidden from the user preferences screen as part of efforts to prevent its accidental misuse (consensus discussion). This had the effect of locking users in to their existing preference, which, in your case, was true. To complete the process, your preference will automatically be changed to false in the next few days. This does not require any intervention on your part and you will still be able to manually mark your edits as being 'minor'. The only thing that's changed is that you will no longer have them marked as minor by default.

For established users such as yourself there is a workaround available involving custom JavaScript. If you are familiar with the contents of WP:MINOR, and believe that it is still beneficial to the encyclopedia to have all your edits marked as such by default, then this discussion will give you the details you need to continue with this functionality indefinitely. If you have any problems, feel free to drop me a note.

Thank you for your understanding and happy editing :) Editing on behalf of User:Jarry1250, LivingBot (talk) 19:18, 14 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

IPA Transcriptions

Hi Royote.

Thank you for comments. I shall take virtually everything you say on board. You are clearly far more experienced than I when it comes to Wikipedia.

However I do just have one area I thought I should raise if I might.

You mention that I should use non-regional pronunciations. All of mine are already RP.

I write sounds literally as people say them rather than using the (IMO) slightly inaccurate usages of some aspects of the IPA that have crept in over time by convention. For instance in the article about scones I said that the two ways of saying the word are /sgɒn/ and /sgəʊn/. Tradition dictates that they are /skɒn/ and /skoun/. Actually I think those would be hard to pronounce: I’m not sure I’ve come across anyone who can make the /k/ sound after a /s/ anymore than I’m aware of having met anyone who could make a /p/ sound after a /s/ sound – ‘Spain’ is actually /sbein/ and not /spein/ as the latter would be very difficult to say, I should have thought. There’s a good reason why the Welsh spell the word ‘sport’ “sbort” and the Scottish Gaels spell their word for knife “sgian” unlike the Irish Gaels who spell the word with a “c”. The Welsh and the Scots are two of the very few Europeans who really feel and see the sounds in the way that perhaps a lot of the rest of us don’t. (Indeed look at the Gaelic for “scone” – see the “g” there?)

I don’t know if I’ve made my case very clearly but I hope you can see where I’m coming from.

I’m always open to discussion of course.

Best wishes to you,

Proposed deletion of Conni Ellisor

Hello, Royote, and thanks for your contributions to Wikipedia!

I wanted to let you know that I’m proposing an article that you worked on, Conni Ellisor, for deletion because I don't think it meets our criteria for inclusion. If you don't want the article deleted:

edit the page
remove the text that looks like this: {{proposed deletion/dated...}}
save the page

It helps to explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page. If you have any questions, feel free to ask on the Help Desk. Thanks again for contributing! Ten Pound Hammer • ^{(What did I screw up now?)} 00:45, 14 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

What did you think about the deletion notice you received?

Hi Royote, You recently received a message about either "Nomination for deletion" or "Proposed deletion" of an article you created. I'd like to ask you a few quick questions:

Was the message helpful? Were the instructions clear and easy to follow?
If not, how do you think the message could be improved?
What do you think about the deletion process in general? Do you understand how to contest a deletion?

You can feel free to answer on my talk page or send me your response by email (mpinchukwikimedia.org). (I won't quote you or link your answers to your username if you don't feel comfortable with that.) Your feedback is incredibly useful for improving the content of deletion notifications, so please take a minute to think about and answer these questions. Thank you!

Hello, I'm BracketBot. I have automatically detected that your edit to Zong Qinghou may have broken the syntax by modifying 1 "()"s. If you have, don't worry, just edit the page again to fix it.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Echopraxia (novel), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page First contact. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.
