Welcome!

Hello, Toomuchcuriosity, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, your edit to Islamization and Turkification of Xinjiang does not conform to Wikipedia's Neutral Point of View policy (NPOV). Wikipedia articles should refer only to facts and interpretations that have been stated in print or on reputable websites or other forms of media.

There's a page about the NPOV policy that has tips on how to effectively write about disparate points of view without compromising the NPOV status of the article as a whole. If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the Questions page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, click here to ask for help on your talk page, and a volunteer should respond shortly. Below are a few other good links for newcomers:

Thank you so much for the warm welcome and for your diligent work! I appreciate the time you took to check in and making sure that articles stay factual and neutral. The edits I made were largely because these 3 pages contain duplicate content:

Islamization and Turkification of Xinjiang § Dzungaria

Dzungar genocide § Consequences of the genocide

Migration to Xinjiang § Dzungar Genocide

I think it would be great to find a way to merge them. Toomuchcuriosity (talk) 13:15, 8 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for checking! I can add a source. _{too_much}curiosity (talk) 19:12, 13 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Made a revision that is hopefully a compromise--I kept your phrasing and added a note with sources. _{too_much}curiosity (talk) 19:32, 13 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks TMC; I'm okay with it. Hopefully if other editors are not okay with it, the matter can be discussed at the article's Talk page. DonIago (talk) 17:00, 15 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Proto-Indo-European copula

You made an edit a year or so in the article about the PIE copula ago stating that the Proto-Germanic copula is derived from the optative of *h₁es-. To me, this seems very weird, as the forms of the PIE optative don't add up to the forms of the present tense of the Proto-Germanic copular verb (it does line up with the subjunctive, but that is because the PG subjunctive is derived from the optative generally IIRC) Now, you give Ringe's book as a source, and if he does say that it is just the optative that is the source for the PRoto-Germanic copula, than I will accept that. However, his book is not available to me. So my question is, what is the exact wording of your source? ~~~~ Merijn2 (talk) 23:20, 22 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, I think it's mostly derived from *h₂wes-, but one stem come from *h₁es (my original edits are poorly phrased... I'll revise them now).

Unfortunately, the book isn't available to me either since I lost my student status... Here's a preview of Ringe's book [1] saying it was "The subjunctive stem was [...] a direct reflex of PIE optative *h₁s-iéh₁- ~ *h₁s-ih₁". _{too_much}curiosity (talk) 00:56, 23 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Just made the edits! Let me know if it looks ok to you based on the source. I'm by no means an expert, so feel free to let me know if I misunderstood anything. _{too_much}curiosity (talk) 01:07, 23 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
